Asshole.

Jadyn Wills is an asshole. I repeat.

I pushed the door of my assigned class wide open. Forgetting how loud it hit against the wall when I pushed it open. While the loud echo in ten early morning and the silence. But I didn't care. Basically I didn't cared because no one was there to witness it. Not a single soul to complain how hard I pushed the door that I fright I might have broke something.

My head burning with rage slowly taking over to the vary part of my body.

" It was a mistake. It was a mistake to think that he and I could get together " I snarled feeling the emotions inside me get the worst. I was furious. I was angry.

I knew we both had somehow grown to hate each other and by the time I could sense, not anything could help us bind together and even if I would try to be good and put my hand forward he would just ignore it like I was junk and he being the blockhead imbecile. Since forever in this seven years.

He was someway had the favor of being the good and the bad in front of everyone. Mostly his family. And the way he changes his character every time he be near me erects the worst of me. And I hate it.

" Calm down Brenna " I heard the soft voice of Neressa's echo in the empty class.

Yeah, yeah. I should probably.

I wish i could calm my nerves down right know but she won't understand the way his attitude stirs me.

Today is our first paper we have to attend and for which I had waked my ass up all night and ruined my sleep. And to say I was already in the irritated mood. Thanks to Jadyn and his stupid mouth to be exact. We were early. Early for the assessment time which would be starting after an hour at 9am as scheduled.

Spare me some more time. I wanted to look through the book a little.

I was devastated. I had one more chapter to go and I was running late to go through it.

But all thanks to Neressa, plan a sudden meet with her boyfriend, Adren Scott. A senior class representative. He wasn't the type I would invest my time into and though I didn't really much liked his display. Not that I hated the guy. Adren was good but his habit of smiling all time. Its as if we're to force out a smile even if we didn't want to. His appearance didn't really matched with his character to be honest. He was the guy with perfect dress code following the rules of the academy but the small cut on his left brow said the other. Piercings on his ears and a hard look unreal when he smiles.

Gangster. I had thought of him.

Or a rich kid doing his mind and money to spend on as his father gave him all freedom.

It was a small fight. He had said when we asked out of curiosity.

But that, wasn't the problem of my sudden burning anger.

Jadyn Wills. His best friend. The boy I wanted to punch so bad. He was the epitome of what I could a douchebag. I hate him from the bottom of my heart. He loved to pick a fight. Prank students. Did the best to be called by the teachers. The much I heard by the pears around me and also Neressa from Adren. The type of boy no one ever wanted to mess with. Forget about to be friends.

But I tried. Even though not very seriously or from the heart to be friends with him. But hey, I still did.

I tried to be friends with him. But he did nothing rather insult me. Pulled some shitty pranks that almost made me cut my hair.

" Ben " Neressa called out making me hum in anger.

" I said are you okay " No I wasn't. And I wanted nothing but to be leaved alone.

" Can you give me some time I am not the mood to talk. Right now" I look at her seeing the glint of hurt in her eyes.

I wish she could stop looking at me like that.

" I am sorry Ben " she said. Grabbing a hold of my arms to halt me on my way while I pulled back with force not wanting to hear anything.

Her eyes showed sincerity but I wanted to ignore it. Ignore the sudden feel of guilt which had evolved inside me for a second to watch her feeling useless right now.

" Don't. You apologize. " I growled with anger.

" I know he is a little badmouthed guy but- "

" Inept. He called me inept " I said with a harsh tone, cutting her words before she could complete.

Neressa sighed out a heavy breath before stepping towards me. I glared at her with a warning. If she thinks I would forgive her so called, cousin.

Then sorry I won't.

That wasn't the first time I had to take an insult like this. I wouldn't even consider it as an insult but the way he said those words in my face made me angry.

" He didn't mean it, Ben. He was just teasing you " Neressa point out before taking a seat near the edge of the first bench near me. Her head tilted towards the door, gaze shifted before they met mine.

Probably looking for him.

" Yeah sure. As if i didn't know your cousin was such a tease " I said sarcastically. Neressa rolled her eyes at my reply before letting out a small chuckle.

" He is just messing around and your outcomes are too .. adorable " she said. I glared at her.

" Should I kill you? "

" I would be pleased if its you " she said, laughing.

I couldn't help but laugh with her. Neressa was my best friend since sixth grade. She was a newly transferred student with beautiful cream smooth skin, gorgeous green hazel eyes and a figure to die for.

She was probably the girl every boy in our class was determined to have as a girlfriend but then little did anyone knew she was already taken.

I sighed moving near her taking a seat beside her. While her gaze shift towards the front of the broad.

" Are you done with all the chapters " she said staring at me with an inquisitive gaze. Today was the start of the exam and the examination date was enough of the tension and here my mood was already ruined by a certain shithead.

" What do you think? "

" Probably all clear " Neressa huffed before leaning forwards her hands over the bench resting her head on the top of her arms as a pillow.

I laughed. She is over dramatic.

" No I didn't. I think Ms. Stone would probably goanna fail me this time. She already had that dark eyes on me from the start of this semester " I said.

Economics wasn't my thing and to say I was taking any serious hearing wasn't true when she tell about how the economics system work around us. The demand curve and what so nonsense. It never goes to my head. I wasn't the type to take her class seriously and to say our first exam was have to be hers. I was already doomed.

I look around the class observing how dark the room was and that I definitely forgot to switch on the light switch out of rage.

" Hey, What if the class door get shut all of a sudden and then we hear someone cry "

" Shut up Ben! " she shout. I laughed.

" Try to imagine " I said.

" No. I won't. Stop with this scary imaginations " she said with fearfulness making me laugh even more at her horrified reaction and before I could head near the switch board and turn on the lights. The door gets shut and the gleam of light early morning disappear.

Shit.

Neressa scream running towards me before her gaze dread with terror and fright while she clutch my arm tight. Her nails almost digging into my skin making me hiss out of pain.

" Nes. Calm down " I said.

" The d-door " before she could utter any words the loud chuckle of the boys erupt outside the door and I felt my blood boil. This was too much.

The door get opened and Aden face pop out. His apologetic gaze turned towards Neressa who was now ready to hit him with anger but her small fist didn't looked could harm the six foot guy in any way.

Aden hold Neressa apologizing her while holding her wrist to stop her from hitting against his chest.

" I am sorry " he said. Placing a small kiss on her cheeks. Neressa melting at the small affection but it made me cringe.

" Wow. Stop it guys. Your making me jealous " Jadyn said out of no where. His hands dig inside his jeans pocket while he looks at the couple with a lazy glint.

Sure did he look jealous.

I roll my eyes at his statement before fixing the bag over my shoulder walking past them. Enough of the drama already.

"Where are you going? " Neressa said with a brittle voice. Her crying didn't help much the way she sound right now. If I wasn't be angry at the moment I would have pulled a joke to ease her. But I wasn't.

Was she about to cry again? I thought.

"Washroom? " I said. She give a small nod. I sighed watching her attention move to Adren while the boy was busy wiping her cheeks. I could have left just then but my gaze move towards the presence beside the couple.

Jadyn cold gaze was already on me. Watching me with the same board expression he had always thrown this past years. He seemed to be lost in thinking. But I cared less about the way his brows grew closer watching me.

If just we weren't in bad terms then I might have agreed that he was someway, gorgeous. His tan skin. Messed auburn hair fit him perfect. Beautiful light sea green eyes with brown lining on the edges of his pupils. It give a beautiful shade when comes in contact with sunlight. His button shaped nose. Full lips. He was... beautiful. I had ever thought of from the very first time I had saw him. He was cute back then. Seriously adorable. But damn his mouth did bad to his looks.

Cute? I snapped. I realized what I said and feeling the hair of my neck stand feeling cold and cringe.

Jadyn is not, cute.

No not in a million year.

He is just a piece of idiocy. And I regret to meet him.

My hands rolled into a tight fist when he smirked finding my gaze at him. More than a second. Good now he got one more thing to make me feel more embarrassed than I already was.

Turning away to head out from them was what running in my mind.

And I feel like to slap myself a thousand times to find him cute. He's cute?

" No way was he in anyway. " I utter low.

" Not in what? " he added " Crashy " his deep voice made me halt. But the nickname. I rolled my hand into a fist ready to strike at his jaw or anywhere he could feel pain.

" Get lost "

" Why? " he said " It's fun to be with you "

I know. He sure had his famous grin plastered across his lips. While his presence behind me made me think of the right time to jab at his chest or stomach.

" You—" before he could speak anymore. I raised my fist landing on his hardened stomach while he bends down with pain.

" Don't talk to me or I would kill you next time " I deadpanned. Jadyn eyes watching me with a slight burn of anger and pain. His lips lift up with an amused chuckle before he stood straight as if I didn't just hit him hard.

" That's all. You got " he said stepping close to my face. His tall height didn't intimidate me but I won't say that I was not scared of him. He was built up.. One hit and he could knock the life out of me. But I stood still. Glaring at him.

" What. Want to fight? " If I wasn't in the mood to watch him bleed then I won't be saying such nerve-racking things. Especially to him.

" Don't flatter yourself " he said. The side of his lips crooked up into a smirk as if finding my words funny.

It was true, though. I wasn't his match.

" Maybe next time " he added " I would expect more "

" Fuck you," I said with gritted teeth.

" Gladly " He whispered inching close to my ear.
