-Reagan-
I liked the new school. It's big than my previous school in Los Angeles. The only thing I hate was Riverwoods. Back in Los Angeles, I was bullied I don't know here. But I won't let that happen.
However, there is something about him. I don't know but right away I smelled his perfume when I entered the classroom. It was a strong and addicting smell of newly cut trees. I was surprised because I did not expect that that kind of smell was addicting.
Not only that, I could hear what he was saying in his mind. I knew right away that he wanted to flirt with me, so, I did not care that I was rude to him. I did not like what was in his mind about me. It was a good thing that he stopped talking when I became quiet. And after that class, I was lucky that I did not bump into him.
At lunchtime, I expect to eat alone. I am a loner, and I usually like to eat alone. The only exception is when my best friend, Colton, is with me. I immediately spotted a table in a corner away from most of the students.
Perfect!
I walked there, and just after I sat on the chair, Riverwoods appeared in front of me.
"Hello, new girl!" Brexon said and sat across me.
"It's Reagan! What do you want?" I replied.
"Obviously, to eat lunch with you?"
"Shouldn't you be eating with the popular girls or your friends if you have any?"
"If you haven't noticed, you are the popular girl right now. Nobody expects that Reagan was a female, even I didn't. Why the hell were you named like that?"
I rolled my eyes and said, "If you come here to insult my name, move your ass away from here! I don't have time to waste to a bully like you."
"Watch your mouth, baby girl! You don't know who are you talking to. And besides, I did not insult you because of your name. Your name is just unique and not usually given to a girl."
"Oh, Riverwoods, I know who and what you are. I still don't want to waste my time with you."
"Really? You can't even say my first name."
"I don't really care about your first name. Now, can you move and let me have lunch in peace."
Before he could even respond, a blonde girl approached him and said, "Brexon, why are you sitting there? Come join me at my table. You still have not answered my question earlier. Let's talk about it while having lunch."
"Sure, Kiara. I'm sorry we got distracted earlier," Riverwoods replied with a smile.
"Come on, then!"
Kiara continued walking to another empty table. While Riverwoods stood and said, "I am going to let you go, for now, new girl. But mark my words, I am a Riverwoods. I get what I want, and nobody says no to me."
"I guess I would be the first one."
Riverwoods smirked. "Let's see about that."
Then, he stood and went to sit with Kiara. Another girl came to approach me and said, "Is it okay to sit with you? I am sorry it's almost full, and I don't see any other better seat."
"That's okay. Please take a seat," I said with a smile.
"Thank you! My name is Christine, and you are Reagan, right? We were in the same class earlier with Mrs. Edwards."
I nodded my head and smile. "Nice to meet you, Christine!"
We both started eating and chatting a bit. Then, I suddenly glanced towards the direction where Riverwoods was sitting. I caught him looking at me.
"Be careful with him," Christine suddenly said.
"You mean, Riverwoods?" I replied.
"Yes, Brexon Clement Riverwoods is his full name. You don't want to mess up with him. During your school tour, before your first day, didn't the representative from the student council tell you about him? It is a must for them to let every new student be aware and stay away from him."
"Why? What's with him?"
"Brexon is one of the billionaire bullies in this school. He picks on every student and beats them sometimes. He is scary when angry. Almost everyone is afraid of him except for Mrs. Edwards. But his parents own half of the shares on this school, so he always gets away from all the trouble he gets into."
"I thought almost all are afraid of him. Why is that girl flirting with him?"
"Oh, with girls, it's kind of tricky. He is known to be a player who only wants sex. But I don't know most of the girls tend to fall in love with him. I really don't know what they see in him."
"Me neither."
But my heart was racing after I said that. I turned my head and I could see how deep Riverwoods was looking at me. It made me feel uncomfortable. And then, there he was talking to me through our minds.
'New girl? Can you hear me? Why did you let that ugly bitch sit with you, and you send me away?'
'Go away! I don't want to talk to you.'
'Oh, it's working! Great! At first, I thought it was not. But going back, why are you eating with that ugly bitch?'
'I'd rather eat with her than with you.'
'Oh ho ho.. You are really testing my patience, new girl. I need to punish you for that later on. But what's this weird thing happening to us? Why I can speak to you through my mind? Are you doing voodoo, black magic, or what?'
'Punish me? For what, Riverwoods? And I don't know what are you talking about, voodoo and all. If I know you are the one crazy doing all this shit.'
'You are such a sassy girl. I really like you, so, new girl, watch out because you will be mine.'
'In your dreams, Riverwoods! Go away now!'
'Not a chance, new girl! I will have you whether you like it or not. But most of the time, girls just eventually fall for me. Though, you are the one that is a bit challenging.'
I quickly closed my eyes and went back to talking with Christine. I need some distraction. I can't keep talking to that idiot on my mind. But in the corner of my eye, I could see him grinning, and I heard him say, 'I don't give up that easy, new girl, even if you ignore me. I will have you eventually.'
