NEVER WALK BACKWARDS

CHAPTER 1: BEGINNING

VAUGHN'S P.O.V

I am what my life made me. My experience formed and changed me and I don't know if I can escape.

"It's done­­­­."

"It's done?" she wondered aloud not believing of what I've said.

I rolled my eyes at her before answering.

"Don't," I said stopping her from talking. I fished out the white folder from my bag and give it to her. She accepted it and starts examining the content of each paper before putting it down to her armchair.

"Wow! This is"— she rubbed her hands together while looking at me—" not what I'm expecting."

I just stared at her in complete silence. She's about to open her mouth when I gave her a bored look. When she saw how I looked at her, her eyes widen.

"Oh! Right I... I —" she stuttered. She looked away and gets some bills in her wallet.

Good. She's not dumb as I thought.

Even before she can lend it to me I snatched the bills away from her trembling hands and walked away leaving her dumbfounded.

What's the use of waiting if I will have that money in the end? And why she's trembling?

As I marched towards the door I felt her penetrating gaze on my back.

No. She's dumb.

Did she expect me to be nice to her?

Geez...

Not going to happen.

"She's such an ass," I heard someone said in a lowly but irritated voice. I stopped, and scan my surrounding to find who said that and my eyes landed at the girl who is unfamiliar to me who's sitting with the four spice girls: Jella, Mekka, Anna, and Fionna.

Mekka nervously whispered, "Don't you dare say that again especially if she can hear you."

"Why?" she asked knowing nothing of what she just said.

"If you don't want to have a broken nose you better know when to shut up," her friend, Fionna responded.

"What? Why?"— her face paled while looking at her friends—" Is s...he going to beat me?"

"Yes and you really shouldn't have said that," Jella murmured while pleadingly looking at me in the eyes. "That will get you into trouble."

She looks like she's going to piss in her pants because of her friend's doing.

Poor girl.

Eunice is not aware that I approached their seats, she's not even aware that I'm just inches away from her. Just inches away from pulling her beautiful braided hair off.

I bend my body a little bit and put my arms in her table to support myself. I looked down to see her name on her I.D before speaking in her ear.

"Eunice."
