If there is one person I never want to see again, it's Michael.

But who am I currently looking at?

Well, Michael of course, in all his sneering, boring glory. He's still the same, with his so-called 'cute' looks that make me want to vomit on the spot. What I ever saw in him when I first started dating him, I do not know. He's a complete sleaze.

A real man treats a woman right. A real man doesn't dump his girlfriend on the spot and goes after a new girl that very day.

A real man is one sitting right next to me, with his arm resting casually on my thigh. He tightens his hold on me when he notices the panicked look in my eyes.

His eyes dart between Michael and me, trying to work out what is going on between us. Kai eventually rests his eyes on me but remains confused. They silently plead with me to tell him what's going on--to explain the situation.

I can't though. I'm completely frozen.

Michael is stood not too far in front of me with some blonde hanging onto his arm for dear life. She could be a cardboard cut out of me, with her golden blonde hair, sea-blue eyes, and 5"6 height. She is gorgeous though, more so than me.

She is like a better version of me.

The thought makes me want to barf.

Michael smirks at my reaction, pleased he managed to get a reaction out of me.

I honestly can't believe his behavior. When I first met him, he was shy and sweet but now he's like this completely different person. He's cruel, mean and manipulative. He's not the guy I thought he was, not by a mile.

He used me, I realize suddenly.

Michael used me to...god knows what. For sex? For status? I'm not sure.

That angers me so much. I'm kicked out of my startled state, now replaced with anger. Furious anger towards him. I want to smack him, punch him or yell at him for what he did to me. He broke me, made me wary of me. I was terrified of relationships--such as one with Kai. Hell, I nearly lost my chance with Kai because of Michael.

I want him to pay for that.

Without another thought, I'm standing up and lunging for Michael.

Everything happens so quickly. The girl beside Michael shrieks like a banshee and flinches back. Michael's eyes widen and Kai lunges for me whilst the others all remain still.

I manage to swing my fist at Michael and knock his cheek. The sound of a painful yelp coming from him satisfies me.

This time, I smirk. Before I can throw another punch at him, arms wrap around my waist, preventing me from doing so. I struggle in the persons hold, my focus on Michael and getting revenge.

After some time, my struggles die down and I eventually go limp in the person's arms.

It's then that I realize I'm in Kai's arms.

"Blondie, are you okay?" He whispers into my ear, breathing heavily. Monotonously, I nod my head. "What on earth came over you? Who is that man?"

Kai knows everything about Michael but he has never seen a picture of him so he doesn't know this is Michael. If he did, I have a feeling he would attack Michael. I would be the one trying to stop him.
