I don't know how to feel.
A part of me feels anxious because if it hadn't been for James, I would've been alone with David. But another part of me feels safe, knowing that he's with me.
David glanced at us when we arrive, and he and James started glaring at each other like they were having a staring contest.
The teacher was too lazy to sit here for an hour, so he told us he'd be back in a 'minute', which probably means that he's not coming back.
I felt a bit uneasy sitting here, at the back of an empty classroom, while two other guys are ready to murder each other.
Suddenly, David stood up and started walking our way. Alarms went on in my head. This can't be good. James just broke the guy's nose. Of course, he was angry.
But instead of looking at James, he looked at me.
"So, what? You got yourself three bodyguards now? If James wasn't with us now, you wouldn't imagine what I would've done to you." he chuckled.
I try to stay calm. I have to relax.
James is here.
James is here.
James is here.
And then, James stood up angrily, ready to throw a punch, but he knew better than to lower himself at his level. James and I both knew he was just saying that to get on his nerves. He didn't mean any of it, right? He's just mad James broke his nose.
"Don't you fucking get it yet Sommers? Leave her the fuck alone or it won't only be your nose that's broken next."
David was genuinely scared, but still, he tried to look like he didn't care.
"You're not even dating her, so why is it bad that I want her?"
"We both know why you deserved that broken arm, David."
Arm? What am I missing? His arm looks fine. But for some reason, David understood what James meant and started laughing hysterically.
"Lilah wanted it, she just couldn't bring herself to accept it. And I made it easier for her. And one day, I'll make it easier for Olivia, too."
I didn't want to understand what they were talking about, but my mind had its ideas. I just wanted this moment to end, I wanted to go to Alex's home and have fun and forget about today.
James lost it then. He threw a punch at David, making his nose bleed once again. And after it came to another punch, straight in Davids's jaw.
David was defenceless. David was pretty strong, but he couldn't fight back James.
People started heading to the classroom after hearing David's cries, but I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I hated violence.
As much as I was grateful for James to stand up to me, I don't want his solution to be a fight. Everyone around me was chanting James' name.
Just then, Alex came into view and pulled me out of the way.
When we were out of the classroom, I saw the twins there too, and just a few seconds later, Alex came out with a blood-covered James. Not his blood though, it was David's.
We saw that the principal was close to the fight scene, so we all ran away in the opposite hallway like our lives depends on it.
I was just in detention, and I don't want to have to go there just because I witnessed an almost murder scene.
Plus, no one would dare say that James was involved, even David. They all knew better than to get on his nerves.
When we all entered Alexandre's car and he started driving away, Thea spoke.
"Ok, I need full details on what the actual flip was happening there."
"I was beating the shit out of Sommers."
Theo spoke then, "Yeah, no shit. But why though?"
"He mentioned Lilah."
Silence filled the car. It was one of those silences that you thought would never end. The ones where it's not even silent anymore since thoughts seemed to echo everywhere.
I wanted to break the silence, not just for that, but I wanted to be sure of what I'm thinking.
"Who is Lilah?"
Everyone hesitated at first, but Thea began to speak.
"She's the girl he assaulted last year."
I didn't want to believe this. I knew it, I just didn't want to think it was true. And the fact that he-
"He said he would do the same thing to Olivia."
James angered voice added.
That is exactly what I'm dreading.
I felt panic almost swallow me whole until Alex's soft voice said,
"Hey, nothing is gonna happen to you. He's a coward. He did it once yes, but Lilah didn't have amazing friends that have her back forever. You do. He can't get to you. If he wants to, he has to fave us first. And knowing him, he'll run to his mommy immediately."
I manage to smile a genuine smile. Everyone nodded at what Alex's said, encouraging his words.
I can't believe I have such amazing and supportive friends. I thought that I had to put up with the toxic friendships I had, and thought I should be grateful for them. But now, I see how true friends are.
And so we head to Alex's house which turned out to be a massive mansion, with large white gayer at the front of a garden.
It makes you feel like you're entering a royal palace.
Today's events weren't anything important. I just need to relax. And now I'm going to have the best Friday night ever with the best people ever. Nothing to worry about.
