Killer attitude//Ruel

Chapter 5: maybe

-Madi's POV-

"I'm being kinda nice- take it or leave it." I roll my eyes.

"Chill you two, we need to plan something for this weekend." Bianca scoffs.

"You can come to my place." Ruel shrugs.

"Sounds good." Kayla smiles.

I don't say anything instead I start eating my food.

Ruel Van Dijk I wouldn't know how to describe him. As much as I denied it but Ruel wasn't a bad guy actually besides sometimes he annoys me. He was funny and the days he's being here he brought so much happiness into our group. Kayla adores him after he became her wing man and helped her find a guy. Now she's going on a date with a decent guy and she was happy as ever- all because of Ruel.

Why do I act like I hate him? I wouldn't know, I'm confused and maybe jealous of him. He seemed to have everything, happiness, a great family after all his stories, he's talented- he can make people laugh easily even though I try hard to not laugh at his jokes, he a great singer, he could get any girl he wanted and he was perfect.

"Are you in princess?" He asks.

"I'll see if I can make it." I reply.

"Better than a no I guess." He smiles and continues being chatty as usual.

Why did he choose to sit with my friends and I, when you could have sat with the popular jocks. He got have any pretty girl in this class yet he compliments me everyday.

I try so hard to not let my heart melt whenever his beautiful spoke about me, oh god.

-afterschool-

Kayla left school early to get ready for her date, very typical of her but you can't help love her. Bianca got picked up which meant I was stuck walking home with Ruel.

I grab my backpack out of my locker and for some reason I waited there, I find myself waiting for Ruel. It's like I wanted to walk home with him, like I wanted to acknowledge him. What's happening?!!

"Hola princesa!" Ruel spoke in Spanish while walking over to me.

"Seriously using your Spanish lesson to learn that." I cross my arms.

"Isn't it cute?" He winks.

"More like cringe!" I blurt.

"You love it princesa." He smirks and chuckles while adjusting his belt.

My eyes trail down and back up to his grinning face.

"Let's go loser." I start walking ahead of him.

I hear him laugh behind me, his laugh was so pure, a pure blessing to the ears. A lot of people I know have ugly laughs but Ruel- his laugh was definitely not ugly, not even close. Maybe that's another reason I don't like him, because I'm jealous of his perfect laugh whereas I reframe from laughing because I hate my laugh.

We start walking home, we walk besides each other, his hand brushes against mine and my skin burns on that spot. He rumbles on about something but I wasn't focus- I was stuck on the thought of his soft hand against mine. Why do I feel like this? We arrive at Haven street and he stops, facing me.

"I'll see you tomorrow Mads!" He spoke so preciously.

"Not if I don't show up." I smirk.

"You better, I wanna show you my cute bedroom." He winks.

"You are disgusting, that would never happen!" I scoff.

"You dirty minded girl, my room is actually really cute because I have pictures of you printed and stuck on my walls." He laughs.

"You are so cringe." I hold back my laugh, it was pretty clever of him but he doesn't have to know that.

"I know you remind me quite often." He smirks.

"Maybe you should do something about it!" I reply.

"Maybe you should help me." He steps closer to me and looks down at me but I don't move.

I let his hot breath press against my lips and the tip of my nose.

"Maybe I- will!" I try not show him how much this was effecting me.

He smirks, gosh that smirk- I finally figured it out. I was in love with that smirk, my heart beats whenever I see it against his lips.

"Are you okay?" He chuckles, stepping closer. There was the tiniest space between us, his hand brushes against my cheek. Did I really hate someone that makes my heart race frantically and my skin burn like molting lava.

"I-I need to go." I turn around and speed walk away.

What going on Madi? You can't like him, you've never liked any guy and now I'm liking the guy I'm supposed to hate.

I rush home and run upstairs to my room.

"Buddy come here." I call him and he comes running into my room.

"Aw baby what's wrong with me buddy?" I talk to him, I knew he couldn't talk back but I just like spilling drama on him.

He couldn't have an opinion or a comeback, he just listened and I enjoyed that. He just barks at me and jumps on my bed.

"Mads you are home, you're going to see your dad tomorrow afternoon." Mum walks into my room and picks up my laundry basket.

"But I don't want to go- I didn't get a say in this." I groan.

"He wants to see his daughter Madi." She scoffs.

"You are comfortable of your daughter seeing the guy who almost killed her!" I yell.

I wasn't comfortable with this. I used to love my father but all I see him now is an asshole.

An asshole who cheated on my mum, almost had me killed, treated my brother, me and my mum like we were nothing to him and fucks any living thing. That's why I hated players, fuckboy and bad boys because they are exactly like my father, just messes with girls and only wants one thing.

"Madi it's been 2 years, he didn't mean it." She tries to reassure me but I wasn't having it.

"I told him to not do it but he did it. I hate him- it's pretty easy to understand." I scoff.

"You and Harrison will meet him at a diner tomorrow and that's final young lady." She walks out.

I wanted to cut him out of my life, but he always creeps back in somehow. He's probably going to be a drunken fool at the diner.

I used to be his princess, but I destroyed that name for me but now Ruel come into my life and princess is back.

I used to be really caring and show so much love but everything changed 2 years ago- I blame my father for everything. My mother say that when I love, I love hard. But when I hate, I hate even harder and maybe that's why it's so easy for me to hate Ruel for the slightest thing. To hate everyone.

Being a sarcastic bitch is a defence mechanism I found useful around people that I know could hurt me. Ruel already changed our group, I'm afraid what else he could do. I'm scared he'll hurt me in a way I never knew existed- it's sounds crazy but I had this feeling.

-the next day-

I walk to ruels house and knock on the door.

"Princess you showed up huh! Missed me too much?" He chuckles.

What will happen next?
