Seriously?
I stared at the letters in my hand. I couldn't believe how far this had gone. Death Letters?.
As if the occasional shoulder bump in the hallways were not enough threats, now they're declaring their murderous intentions through pen and paper?.
There was even one from the slimy little girl called Kienna. Kienna and I go way back to middle school where she had persistently made my life miserable, she made sure I also had a terrible time here in school. It was her life ambition, to follow me everywhere and make my life unbearable.
These kids have lost their minds, they were threatening me to stay away from Ren. He was the one messing up the peace and balance of my life, couldn't they see that?. I would be glad if he suddenly vacated his seat and never talked to me again for the rest of my lonely life but who were we kidding?, the guy was not only nosy, but as stubborn as a mule.
Taking a deep breath, I decided that it was best if I stayed away from Ren. Afterall, it wasn't like I would risk my life for him when I've only known him for the whole of 2 days.
A sarcastic chuckle left my lips at the thought and I headed to class with my books. As soon as I sat down, I saw Kienna walk to my desk, twisting and turning her legs and body in a cringey attempt to catwalk.
I couldn't help the frown that crept onto my face as I stared at her.
"Hi Meredith", she said in a venomous voice, while I stared up at her small face. When did we start talking on casual terms?. How did she make a sudden 360 in attitudinal change from wanting me out of the picture to trying to be friendly?.
I was about to reply with a snide comment when my eyes caught something.
It was Ren and he was in a baggy cut out jeans paired with a red crop top. As usual, his beautiful hard abs were on full display. I meant hard-looking and well toned abs. I had never touched them before so I wouldn't know how they felt.
Wait a minute, its not like I want to touch them, I'm just saying...His eyes caught and held mine for a second as he walked to his seat and he gave a subtle wink. I quickly averted my eyes and cleared my throat.
I was too deep into my thoughts that I had forgotten that Kienna was still standing infront of my desk and you guessed right, she was shamelessly ogling him.
Shaking my head slightly, I watched as Ren sat down beside me, chewing on his gum like he didn't have a care in the world. I'm not kidding, the guy was the definition of carefree.
"Good morning pretty doll", he greeted. Kienna immediately did a quick turn around, now completely facing him and bent over his desk like a hen about to lay an egg.
Her breasts were literally spilling through the first open button of her shirt as she gave Ren a seductive look. Lord help me, his eyes were glued to her chest as he slowly licked his lips. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my biology text book. I mean, why were they sizing each other up like famished wolves when they could just get the hell out of the class, find a janitor's closet and ease their sexual frustrations. It actually surprised me that Ren had a lot of pent up sexual frustrations, not that he told me...but I could feel it right through his stare at Kienna.
I made a show of rudely banging the book on the table in an attempt to break their heated stare and fake coughed before I opened the book to the first chapter, the science of DNA coding.
Glancing sideways, I caught Kienna as she gave me the death glare.
I internally rolled my eyes as my lips formed a thin line. A random idea suddenly popping into my ardled brain made me feel suddenly mischievious.
"Hey Ren....so while I was on my way to class...I may have bumped into someone earlier when I was passing by the infirmary and they said they were looking for you. It completely slipped my mind so you may want to go to the infirmary"
After my long speech, Ren glanced at me with doubtful eyes. His eyes bore deeply into mine and for a moment, I was sure that he could read through my lie.
He sighed and grumbled
"I told her that she didn't need to come", he groaned.
I hid a smile when he reluctantly asked Kienna to excuse him as he made his way out. Now that he was out of the class and the sexual tension had been diffused....I breathed out a sigh of relief, happy to have broken up the pair.
Kienna turned to me with a death glare.
"I hope for your own sake that you were telling the truth, because God help you if you just lied to mess up with my desperate efforts to flirt with Renny"
Renny? Did she just call him Renny?
Eww, that was so not a cool name. I felt disgusted to say the least but I didn't utter a word because I was too happy about my small victory from earlier.
The class began shortly after and I didn't see Ren until it was over. The bell rang for lunch and we all skipped to the cafeteria.
My eyes scanned the place for an empty seat to accommodate my diabolical self and I found one, right in the centre of the cafeteria. I made my way over and sat down comfortably, feeling like I just fought and won a historical battle.
Until I felt a hot gaze burn into the back of my head. I turned back slightly and my eyes caught with Ren's dark ones. He looked insanely angry.
Oh crap, I'm screwed.
