Chapter 23 - Chapter twenty three: Fiery...Rage, Pain!

💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

🖤 Aiden's p.o.v 🖤

She's mine.....

Mine alone....

Wow, think I've said too much.

"Whoa! bro.." Jerry gasped out.

I felt the surprised gaze from the students on me.

The kitten stiffened at my words and I felt her hand become sweaty.

Didn't know i had such effect on her.

Now, the one that got me satisfied, was the look on his face....the so called Adams Everett.

So.... he's the kitten's ex huh? The one i heard so much of...from Raven.

Looks like what i said affected him though. His facial expression was priceless.. can't wait to rub defeat on his face.

If she can really affect him this way, it'll be fun using her as a weapon against him. *Smirks*.

"So that's it huh?" He spoke up finally from his trance and faced the kitten.

"You dumped me for him?".

"Um..I..I..I..uh...". She stuttered, still in shock.

"Yeah, she knew I'm way better than you". I smirked at him, gaining a glare in return.

"My team ain't called the crimson lions for nothing, we'll take home the trophy". He snarled.

"Sure". I smiled, sarcastically.

"And I'll get my girl back you two faced jerk!" He snapped, turning more heads to our direction.

"Try it.." I muttered..

He turned away from me, fuming as he walked off with his gang.

"Why does he disgust me this much?!". Raven hissed.

"Stupid delinquent".

"Let's go". I pulled the kitten with me as i walked away from the scene where curious students had gathered.

"Let...go". She murmured.

"What?" I asked..

"I said...let go!". She growled at me.

"Easy tiger... what's up with you?". I released my grip on her.

"How could you hold me so tight? My wrist hurts". She hissed at me, pain visible on her face.

Then she began hitting me...

"Don't play with me like that... stop playing games with me".

What has gotten into her?

"Hey, hey, what's your problem?" I scowled at her.

Then she began to tear up...

Are you kidding me?

"Stop...hurting...me". She sniffed in

I grabbed her wrist, between her effortless struggle and pulled her forcefully to the Janitor's closet, then closed the door.

"What's your problem?" I asked her..

"I should be the one asking you that...we both know you only said what you said back there because you wanted to enrage Adams. I belong to no one, you understand?" She said with a scowl...

So that's what it's about?

"Why are you acting up because of that?" I asked.

"Seriously?" She asked in return, then grabbed me by the collar of my shirt.

"You shouldn't play with someone's heart...I know what you said, meant nothing to you...but it did...to me. You're hurting others to please yourself, it's not right!".

I stared down into her teary eyes and saw she was hurt.

So she figured it out...why do i feel bad now.

"Get your hands off me". I muttered in a calm way...

Why is she so angry about it

Does it mean she likes me? It'll only hurt if she likes me.

"Do you like me?" I asked and she released her grip on my shirt, slowly.

She looked away, wiping her tears...

"You...wish..". She murmured.

"I can't like a jerk like you". The words felt like they were forced from her mouth.

"So why are you acting up and why does what i said affect you?" I asked again.

She bit her quivering lip and turned to face me.

"I don't know, I really don't know". I saw the sincerity in her eyes and i felt my heart throb for putting her in this situation.

"He really has the nerve to say he'll get me back....that Adams jerk! How dare he? I belong to nobody...not him...not even you! You both have no idea how I felt while you guys were busy spitting nonsense earlier, you think it's okay to play with a girl's feelings... it's so not okay...it hurts like hell!" She snapped all of a sudden, clenching her fists.

I didn't know what to say, so i just watched her outburst... partially feeling guilty about causing it.

"Don't say things like that again if you don't mean it". She said and wiped her tears again, then left the closet.

💝 Third person's p.o.v 💝

"What? They're a couple?!". Courtney gasped.

"That's what I heard", Chloe replied, brushing her hair.

"It's impossible, it can't be".

"They quite displayed a loveydovey scene at the lockers room". Chloe said, then rolled her eyes. "Even the other team's guy you're crushing on, was fighting for her.... special.. isn't she?"

"Both Aiden and Adams? Nooo! what does she have that i don't? And point of correction I'm not crushing on the hot stuff". Courtney said.

"Your words says the opposite, you just called him hot...."

"Yeah whatever, he's hot... I'm not crushing on him!". Courtney snapped, interrupting her friend.

"Whatever you say".

"Aiden's my only crush".

"Liar...liar vampire" Claudia sang.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?" Courtney whipped her head to look at her.

"Not at all". Claudia shook her head negatively then joined her lips together.

"My Aiden and the other hot stuff are fighting for that bulldog? What about me? I'm the prettiest yunno". Courtney began to sob into her palms.

"Not again". Chloe groaned in frustration.

"What...do...they...see...in..her? And now she's Aiden's girl? Noooo...it won't happen while I'm still alive. Aiden and I are meant for each other... I'm his best friend, I'm his girlfriend, I'm his only choice...he loves me...I love him". She sobbed.

"I'll make that brat pay...I can't lose to her... she's a nobody...I'll make sure she doesn't get my Aiden. Only God knows what she has done to him. I knew she had eyes on him right from the beginning. Poor Aiden, she has gotten him in her claws".

"I'll free you honey don't worry, even if it means killing the bulldog." She gritted her teeth.

"She humiliated me at the Cafeteria that day...I won't let it pass like that... I'll teach her an unforgettable lesson".

"That's my girl", Claudia said, clapping excitedly.

😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

💝 Bella's p.o.v. 💝

She's mine

Aiden's words rang like a bell in my head.

She's mine.

Argh! Damn it! Why does it keep repeating in my head?!

How could he say something serious in an unserious manner yet it seemed serious but unserious at the same time.

I ran my fingers in my hair, sweeping my hair backwards as i sighed.

I know he didn't mean it coz he clearly told me one day that I wasn't his type.

He was still much of a jerk then than now though.

I wonder what i mean to him now, I mean considering that we shared a room together and all...I just hope i don't mean nothing to him...even if he could just consider me a...a..fr..iend.

He wasn't bad afterall...i got to see his other side too and I know he isn't just a cold hearted monster...or a complete jerk. He has feelings too...and is scared of cockroaches.

I giggled at the thought and shook it off...

Then i remembered what he had asked me at the Janitor's closet.

Do you like me?

My heart began to beat fast...at the thought... Do i like him??

I can't say yes...heck yeah i would never say that....I won't lose to Mia..I told her i would never be attracted to him.

But....I...I... can't say no either...for reasons I'm not sure about. I just felt like i couldn't say no...ugh! I don't know!!

I don't know if I like him or not...final!

Where's Mia by the way?

I looked round the class, it was almost empty with six students inside including me.

Where's Raven too?

Whoa...I can't believe I'm saying that...not in a million years I'd think Raven and i would become friends. It was such an odd thought.

Even the students were surprised at our friendship and the way we interacted with each other.

She was mean to everyone else apart from me and treated me like i was her daughter....more like.. sister.  *Blush*

"Please... I'm sorry". I heard Mia's timid voice and looked up from my desk to the direction it came from...

Just outside the class.

"Go on, bend down...pick it up". I also heard Dennis's annoying, naughty voice.

What is it, this time.

I stood in aid of her and went out to see the trouble she had caused for herself.

She was bent over, picking up some books while Dennis moved closer to her and held her butt, then pulled it closer to his groin area...

Eish! This bastard!

He teased her and his friends laughed at what he was doing to her....

I walked up to him..."You bloody pervert!" I swung my hand to slap him, but he dodged and my fingernails grazed him instead.

He hissed in pain and touched his face...

"Why you little bitch!" He cussed at me, while i pulled Mia to my side.

"Pick on someone your size asshole!" I spat. "You're disgusting".

"How dare you raise your hand at me?" He growled, still touching where I had grazed him and i saw that he had bruises.

That serves him right!

"You think you have the right to talk back at me because of Aiden? Bad news for you...I am not afraid of him you hear me?" With that said, he landed a slap on my cheek.

I winced, holding my cheek as i stared at him...a tear escaped my left eye.

"Aw.. what's wrong? You thought I wouldn't hit you back?" He joshed and his friends snickered.

"Dennis..you bastard!!" Mia gasped out.

"It's fine". I said to her, then turned back to Dennis. I smiled at him, still holding my cheek. He was quite surprised.

"You can hit me all you want, i know I can't fight you back but don't you ever touch Mia..". I mumbled and walked back to the class with Mia running after me.

"Not so tough...are you?" Dennis joshed again and snickered.

*

"Your cheek is red... I'm so sorry about what happened". Mia murmured, lowering her head.

"Stop worrying about me, I'm fine" I said, faking a smile.

I'm so not fine! My cheek hurt and i hear a very terrible, continuous ringing in my ear, due to the slap. Dennis..curse you!!

I sighed and buried my face in my hands wishing for the sounds in my ear to go away.

Students began to troop into the class, filling in the spaces.

Our maths class was about to start.

I put my hands down from my face and Aiden and his friends entered the class..

They attracted almost everyone's attention as they strolled to their seats, hands in pockets.

Carlos and Lucas passed by me, Jerry also and then Aiden stopped beside me.

I felt him place his index finger  under my cheek and raised my face to look at his.

A glint of anger flashed through his eyes as he scanned my face.

"What happened to your face?" He asked.

"N-nothing" I replied, quickly, turning away from him....is that how noticable my cheek is?

He placed his hand on my cheek again and caressed the spot where i was slapped and i winced.

"This looks like fingers.." he said, out loud.

"Who did this to you?" He asked, with a low-key growl.

"Wh-what are you talking about? Nothing ha-happened to me". I stammered and took his hand off my face... "I-i am fine".

Why am i stammering? I'm so bad at lying.

"Answer me!". He ordered, with a menacing glare.

I shook my head and turned away from him.

He stifled a laughter and sat on my desk, then faced the whole class.

"Somehow, someone seem to have touched my kitten and I'm not happy, who did it?" The class went dead quiet.

"So, no one is going to talk huh?". He scoffed and cracked his knuckle bones, lowering his head...

A smile formed on his lips.... something about the smile made chills run down my spine. He turned to look at me, still wearing the creepy smile.

"You won't talk either...what should i do to you to make you talk?".

I swallowed hard...

"For the last time, who touched you?" He growled.

"It's Dennis!" Mia suddenly blurted from my side, she was clearly shivering.

"Dennis...ha?!" He muttered, then stretched his hand and patted Mia's head..."good girl".

He moved from my side, heading towards Dennis seat, colour seemed to have drained from the latter's face.

He grabbed Dennis by his neck and pulled him up, then landed a punch on his face which sent him sprawling to the floor, scattering few desks and chairs in his way.

The students gasped and i covered my mouth...

Pulling him up again, he pushed him roughly to a wall where he pressed him hard against it, still holding his neck, with his left hand.

"I fucking warned you not to touch her again, didn't i?" He growled, menacingly at the latter...who tried to push him away but failed.

"Let go of me bruh!" Dennis muttered.

Aiden balled up his fist again and punched him, this time, aiming for his nose and he began to bleed.

"That bitch deserved it!!" Dennis snapped suddenly.

He received a slap in return and then he was flung to the floor, Aiden kicked him continuously, then stepped on his face.

"No one messes with me". He growled.

Then got on top Dennis and began to hit his face with series of blows.

The latter let out a blood curling scream and I covered my ears.

Why isn't anyone stopping them?

Why isn't anyone interfering right now and trying to stop him? He'll kill Dennis for crying out loud.

I know Dennis is a prick! But that was already too much for him. Hell! He was screaming in pain.

I looked at my classmates and i saw fear written in their eyes.

Even Dennis so called friends, Scott and Trent were moving further backwards in fear. They gazed in horror as their friend was being beaten to a pulp.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry". Dennis cried out....but Aiden wasn't listening to him, he continued hitting the latter, enraged.

"Jerry?" I called out to Jerry questionably as I gestured to him to stop the fight.

"I can't... I'm sorry". He muttered, sadly.

"Lucas?".

Lucas shook his head...

"Carlos...please". My voice broke...

"Don't feel sorry for him..". He murmured back.

Ugh!

I stood up and rushed to the scene...

"Aiden...please...stop". I tried grabbing his hand but he pushed me away, sending me crashing to the ground.

"Don't!".. he growled at me and continued.

I got back on my feet and ran to him....he grabbed my neck with his left hand and glared at me.

"I said.... don't interfere!!" He yelled and threw me aside.

He picked Dennis up and flung him across the class... The latter hit the wall and fell back down, covered in blood.

I shut my eyes tight at the sight as tears streamed down my face.

This beast isn't Aiden.... Dennis seemed to have awoken a demon.

"Aiden, please...for crying out loud... you'll kill him!" I screamed, but he didn't even mind me.

It didn't matter what he'll do to me...I ran back to him and embraced him from behind, making it impossible for him to lift his hands.

"Please...listen to me.... I'm fine". I sobbed.

He breathe heavily, still fuming...but I felt his muscles were relaxing as i held him.

"I'm...fine". My voice cracked.

He unwrapped my hands that were wrapped round him and turned around to face me....

I saw the rage in his eyes but then it began to clear and i saw pain fill in.

He was hurt...

Coz i was....hurt??

He left me, and went out of the class.

I looked down and saw Dennis on the floor, rolling and groaning in pain.

I turned to Scott...."What are you doing there?! Take him to the infirmary, you coward!"

He and Trent quickly rushed to his side and helped him to his feet, then led him out of the class.

I can't believe that had to happen, because of me...

The class returned to normal as everybody returned to their seats but still murmuring about the fight.

I sighed and buried my head on the table.

Raven, Courtney and her crew weren't in class...

If only they had witnessed the fight, i wondered what would've happened.

"What's the fuss about, cheesecake?" I heard Raven's voice and i raised up my head.. She stood, towering over me.

When did she enter?

"Shit! What happened to your face?!" She gasped out.

"Dennis slapped her". Mia murmured and i whipped my head to face her...

"Since when did you become my mouth piece?"

"I'm sorry, i couldn't help it". She said.

"Dennis did what? Where's the bastard?" Raven clenched her fist, looking at me.

Oh no!

"He's at the infirmary". Mia chipped in, yet again.

Ughhhh!!!

"I'll kill him". Raven said under her breath as she stormed out of the class.

"Wait!!!". I called out....but she was far off....

I turned to face Mia and she shrugged..

"He deserves it!" She smirked.

I didn't know, she can be this evil...
