Hateful Heart

They say that hate is almost as powerful as love.

Almost.

They also say that Hades is someone you don't want to mess with. Well, that's what they told me. But how can you avoid someone when he is looking for revenge and you don't let anyone walk over you. It's simple, you can't. So I might as well play his game with him. And I definitely play to win.

''Ever heard of personal space?'' I say while I try to push him backward.

He grabbed my wrists and pushes them beside me against the lockers. He still didn't say a word.

''Ah, I guess you liked my gift,'' I said with an evil smile.

''You did a very stupid thing yesterday. I don't know if you're brave or just stupid'' His eyes are never leaving mine.

''Well, I think we're even now,'' I said with a fake sweet smile.

His face comes closer to mine till I can feel his breath on my skin.

''I can ruin your life and I will if I want to. So a smart girl would know to back off.''

''But who says I'm smart?''

''Then you will have to deal with the consequences.''
