Hogworths high...friday morning,

"Students, listen up!" Mr Gretonia, our History teacher ordered, clapping his hands to gain our attention.

When the class became less noisy, he spoke up...."we're going on a field trip".

The students cheered in sheer excitement while i was drowned in my own world as i was staring at the demon king.

He didn't care about what was going on in the class, he was just pressing his phone.

He looked up, almost meeting my gaze....but i quickly looked away.

Only God knows what he'll think if he catches me staring at him.

I stole a glance again and he was back at tip tapping his phone.

I subconsciously touched my lip....

He really kissed me last night...it wasn't like any of the kisses i've had. Somehow, the kiss soothed my anger and it was doing things to my body. Even as i hadn't kissed him back, he just went on, doing his stuff with my lips. It wasn't rough and demanding as the first kiss we had at the club on our first encounter. It was a slow, gentle kiss....so slow i thought i was gonna lose my mind.

What are you doing to me Mr demon?

Now, two questions were still disturbing me....

1. Why did he kiss me?

2. Why did i let him kiss me?

Suddenly, i felt a blush rise to my cheeks and i quickly fought to suppress it.

Stupid cheeks, don't buy me the teacher's attention and gosh! What is wrong with me?!

I sat upright with a jerk as i looked away from the demon king when a hand suddenly slammed my desk.

"And what would the answer be, Miss Flynn?" The history teacher gazed at me, asking.

Uh...what was the question?

"Um?" I casted him a questionable look. "I - i- didn't quite get the question sir".

"A good example of one of the pre-eminent existing examples of Mayan architecture in Mexico?" He asked.

"Uh...." I racked my brain but couldn't find any answer..

"See? If you had paid attention to me rather than ogle at a certain somebody, you would've known the answer". He said.

The students snickered at his remark and i lowered my head.

Aw!

"As i was saying," Mr Gretonia started again, leaving my side. "We'll go on a grand tour to Los Angeles county museum of art where you can see the pre-eminent existing examples of Mayan architecture as drawn. And the field trip will last for a week".

"Yayyyy! Field trip!" The students cheered.

"We'll also take part in the Glucksman's hashtag creativity at home challenge, and we expect each and every one of you to return with an excellent feedback via essay, on your trip to the museum".

"Yes sir". The students chorused.

"We have one of our honorable CEOs sponsoring our trip and we booked ten rooms which means y'all are going to work in pairs as you"re twenty in number, don't worry about your needs, it'll be taken care of...thanks to the CEO. But he strictly warned not to reveal his identity".

"God bless you Mr anonymous CEO". Dennis said and a couple of snickers reached my ears.

"The school bus will convey the students to the hotel they'll be staying for the meantime, tomorrow and your guides for the trip are Miss Becca Hale and I".

"Aw! Not Miss Becca". The students whined.

Seriously she shouldn't come. Mrs Joan was there, she should be our guide.

"No changes will be made, 7:30, don't be late or you'll miss the school bus tomorrow". He said and left the classroom.

"I'll pair up with you". Mia beamed as she grabbed my arm and hugged it.

"Who were you staring at by the way? that you lost focus in class". She narrowed her eyes, looking at me.

"Nobody". I muttered, touching the nape of my neck.

"Was it Aiden?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"No" I said, curtly.

"Uh-huh?" She smiled naughtily. "You're blushing y'know".

Huh?!

I adjusted myself quickly and slapped my cheeks.

"I knew you like him". She teased

"What? Who said anything about liking him? No! I don't like him". I replied quickly.

"Stop lying to yourself... You can't beat Cupid". She said.

"I said I don't like him, now you're talking about love?" I scoffed.

"Yeah...You two make such a perfect Cupid's pair". She squealed, then blushed...."just like Carlos and I, don't ya think?"

"Carlos is way out of your league, no offense but you're totally different from him, you're the opposite of him!".

"That's my point...law of magnetic force states that...unlike forces attracts, while like forces repel...see? I and Carlos are unlike...we're perfect for each other....you and Aiden are also unlike...he's a bad boy....you're a..i wouldn't say good girl tho buh you're his opposite, thus you're perfect for each other". She said with much confidence as she smiled.

She's totally lost It..

I stared at her, my left eyebrow, twitching.... "Did you hit your head?" I asked...

"No..c'mon!" She groaned.

"You're saying nonsense....I can never be attracted to an obnoxious, pompous brat like him". I scoffed.

"Keep lying to yourself". She sighed. "Just wait till you guys fall in love and i remind you of this day...meanwhile, i'll post something on my blog, tagging you guys 'Cupid's couple, pair, match...no Twain...yeah Twain, not much people use the word Twain like the word couple...so it'll be hashtag 'Cupid's Twain". She winked at me

"I'll kill you" I told her...

"You won't....you know you love me". She pouted.

"You like my brother huh?" Raven said and i choked on my lunch...

"Have some water", she laughed, passing me a glass of water.

"What? No!". I retorted.

"What's going on between the both of you?" She asked...as usual, she was busy with her phone rather than eating lunch.

"Uh....what are you talking about?" I asked in return.

She stifled a laughter...."you're so cute you know? You can't fool me cheesecake".

"There's nothing going on between us". I defended, then started snarfing up my meal.

"Aw! Why do i feel disappointed? I really hope you both become a couple rather than cockbitch!". She spat out.

"Courtney?" I asked...

"Cockbitch!" She replied... "She wants to go back to my brother". Then she sighed and looked at my face...

"I won't let that happen...not after how she broke him".

"He really loved her huh?" I asked...because he could only be broken if he had really cherished and loved her with all his heart.

"Yeah...yeah...he was a fool in love". She sneered. "They were so close and i never thought they would fall apart...he was so inlove with her that he overlooked her flaws".

I sighed...."yeah, i know that feeling, i've also been broken". I said, sadly.

She stared at me in pity, then muttered..."I'm so sorry".

"I'm fine". I said quickly and faked a smile.

How can i be fine? Adams was my first love and i was so inlove with him that it was so hard to get over him.

So, Courtney must be the reason why the demon king was who he is...how obnoxious he became. He became an assh*le because of her.

All of a sudden, i heard a piercing scream and i quickly shot my head to the direction it came from...

Mia was dripping wet from...was thatΒ  milk? I saw Courtney and her crew beside her as they mocked her, with Courtney fondling a condensed milk can.

"You absolutely loser....oops! The can slipped from my hand". Courtney sneered at her.. A couple of laughters followed as the students in the cafeteria bursted out.

Some of them brought out their phones and began to take pictures of Mia as they mocked her...

That does it....

I stood up from my seat and walked up to the scene, fuming.

"Heartless witch! I'll show you..." I grabbed Courtney's hair and pulled it hard, while she winced in pain...

Loud gasps filled the cafeteria...

"You find joy in hurting people? Let me teach you how its done". I landed a slap on her cheek and pushed her to the floor, snatched the can from her and spilled the remaining contents on her, then mounted her and began hitting her on the floor. She tried to fight back but was no match for my burning rage.

"Get off me, bitch!" She yelled.

I slapped her again, shutting her...

"Hey! Move it..." Chloe snapped at me as she tried pushing me off Courtney but i pushed her away and she sprawled to the floor.

"Get off her!" Claudia yelled, staying far back as possible. If she had neared me, I would've poked out her eyes.

Some students tried to separate me from Courtney....

"Touch her and i'll turn you to an unrecognizable corpse". Raven's stern voice scared them off.

When i made sure i had beaten the daylight out of her, i stood up, panting heavily.

"Next time you hurt anybody dear to me, i'll freaking k!ll you, you understand?". I was enraged.

I don't know if it was because she hurt Mia or because she was the cause of making Aiden the demon he is or because she was just an absolute bitch!

I was just so provoked!!

I turned to look at Mia who appeared shocked on seeing my outburst...and then i noticed the satisfying smile that flickered across Raven's face.

Next day...Saturday.

We arrived at the hotel, sooner than we expected...and we began to pick our rooms.

I opened the door to one and saw that it was satisfying and i dashed to notify Mia.

She hung her head low and muttered..."Raven said we'll pair".

"Really? Okay, i'll look for another partner.." I sighed and began to look for a girl to pair up with....but it turned out, they were already paired up with someone else.

I gave up and went back to the room I found and got in...then stopped in my tracks.

"What are you doing here?" The demon king asked, as he kept his luggage, beside the bed.

"I'm supposed to ask you that...I mean, i was here first". I replied.

He scoffed...."I didn't see anybody here, when i arrived".

I mentally slapped myself for leaving, the first place.

Now i have to find another room.

I went to Mr Gretonia and complained to him and he told me, that was the last room and i'd have to pair it with the demon king.

Maybe he's also lost it...

"Um sir, isn't it inappropriate to share a room with a boy?" I asked.

"Don't worry, there are two separate beds in every room, or is something going on between you and the principal's son?" He asked, staring at me suspiciously.

"No...no...absolutely no!" I replied quickly.

"Then, there's no problem, I trust the principal's son, he wouldn't do anything funny". He assured.

Yeah right!

I chuckled nervously....."yeah you're right". I faked a smile and dashed off...

"Hi..." I grinned at Raven...

"What do you want?" She asked folding her arms.

"Uh...you know, you and Aiden are related so...can you please switch places with me? I'll stay with Mia...you stay with him?".

"And have him annoying me for the rest of the stay? No thanks". She replied.

"But i can't pair with him..." I pouted.

"I can't also pair with your pet, but I'll deal with...also deal with your problem...besides, your pet is the real problem here, she hid herself in the toilet when we got here...I have no idea why..this means I have a huge problem to take care of...so bye...i'll meet you at lunch...and also, don't worry, my brother isn't a creep...bye!" She shut the door at my face.

Really? Ugh!

I dragged myself to the last room and opened the door...

"Hey!" The demon king snapped.

"What? I'll have to pair with you, deal with it". I hissed and dropped my luggage beside the bed also.

Wait! There's only one bed here?!

"Where's the other bed?". I asked, alarmed.

"I sold it!" He scoffed, with heavy sarcasm.

"There's only one bed here? Ugh! What could go wrong again? Ughhh!! I and badluck are really tied" I groaned out loud.

"I'm taking the bed, you should use the couch or the floor, your choice". He said and plopped on to the bed, lying down.

Asshole!!
