Fortunately, I see him standing at the entrance with Lucas, Mateo, Levi and Mason. My legs drag me to their direction and he smiles as he sees me. His friends pushed him to me and he looks like he hesitates for a while before walking up to me. Without a word, he grabs my hand and pulled me away from the noise. Now we’re standing in the boys changing room. Before I speak, he gently cups my face. His forehead is touching mine as his eyes flash in the evening light.

Chapter 1 - Chapter One:

I leaned against my locker waiting for Kaylee to walk out of that classroom.

I don't know what keeping her because school ended five minutes ago.

I left immediately the bell rang because I had to put some stuff in my locker and she told she me she would join me immediately. Suddenly, I ran out of patience and just when I was about to enter the class, Kaylee zoomed pass me almost pushing me.

''Kaylee ! " I yelled running after her. She ignores me and quicken her pace. I run after her and soon caught up with her.

"Thanks for making me burn calories," I rolled my eyes, when I caught up with her but she ignored me and kept going.

'' I've been waiting ...." I trailed off when I saw the tears in her eyes. '' What is wrong with you?" I asked with a frown.

''Nothing....'' Kaylee sniffed, wiping her face.

''Are you telling me or you want me to go in there and find out?" I threatened and saw her shake her head.

"It's .... it's Beatrice," Kaylee sniffed and that was all I needed to hear. I grabbed her hand and dragged her back to the classroom ignoring her protest. Beatrice and her friends were sitting in the class, applying make-up and laughing to something I don't care about. "Beatrice!" I called out and she turned towards me. A frown appears on her face but I don't pay any attention to that.

"You owe my friend here an apology," I said pushing Kaylee forward. I didn't want to know whatever happened because I knew who I was dealing with here. She's Beatrice for goodness sake. Picking on the quiet innocent ones but not my bestie.

''Forget it Zara, let's just leave, "Kaylee whispered. I rolled my eyes at how weak she was behaving.

"You want me to apologize to her?'' Beatrice sneered.

''If you know what's good for you then yes.'' I said. I watched her get up from her seat and throwing her hair over her shoulders, she walked towards me. She is wearing a pink knee length dress and with all that makeup on, she looks like a that unicorn poop Awol had to eat in the alien's home from the latest danger force episode.

''It's not my fault your friend here is a loser, you know,'' she chuckled.

''I didn't come here for that . Just do what I asked you to do so that I can get out of here'' I rolled my eyes. I looked around and spotted one of her friends unwrapping a lollipop and I snatched it from her. I sat on the table and placed a foot on the chair. ''We're still waiting for you Miss Beatrice,'' I said casually.

''Seriously you don't.....''

''Shut up Kaylee!,'' I yelled shutting her up immediately. These rich spoilt brats always think they can bully anyone they wanted. well, not my friend. They messed with the wrong person this time.

''Apologize to her or I'll force you to do it,'' I said my gaze fixed on Beatrice.

''I don't think you know who you are dealing with,'' Beatrice laughed.

"Are you new here?" She asked with narrowed eyes. "Because I can just let this slide since....."

'' I honestly don't care about all that so just apologize and ...'' I cut her off, not interested in whatever she had to say.

''You know what ...'' Beatrice smirked walking up to me. ''Why don't you make me? She raised a brow. ''I would like to see you ...'' she pointed a finger at me which I grabbed and twisted immediately. She yelled in pains as she tried to free herself but I only tightened my grip and twisted it more.

"Will your apologize or not? "I asked bending the finger backwards.

"I'll kill you,'' she yelled through gritted teeth struggling to free herself.

"I'd like to see you try, "I chuckled. She kept struggling until she finally gave up.

"Fine, I'll apologize,'' she said and I chuckled, before releasing her. She composes herself and took in a deep breath. "I'm sorry" she rolled her eyes.

"Like you mean it,'' I yelled and she flinched. It took an amount of unknown strength not to laugh at how she looked like.

"I'm sorry Kaylee,'' she said more apologetically.

"Good, 'I smiled jumping of the table. I placed the lollipop I pulled out of my mouth in front of the girl I took it from before turning to Kaylee. I grabbed Kaylee's hand and then turned to walk away.

''I'll make you regret this,'' Beatrice swore angrily. I paused at the doorway and turned to her.

''I'll be looking forward to that,'' I smirked and turned to leave. Before I could take another step, I crushed into something hard or rather someone hard. I raised my head to see Liam Hunter standing at the door way with a basketball in her armpit.

''Don't you have eyes?'' his loud male voice boomed.

'' I do, they just aren't made to see trash,'' I smirked and walk away. The smirk I had on my face widened as I imagined the look Liam had on his face. Nobody has probably spoken to him this way and Kaylee confirmed it.

"You shouldn't have done that Zara. Now am worried about you,'' Kaylee sighed.

''Why?"

"Are you seriously asking me why?'' Kaylee paused, staring at me with her arms crossed on her chest.

'' Obviously...'' I rolled my eyes.

''I told you not to go in there but you did. And not only did you get into a fight with Beatrice, you also did with Liam,'' Kaylee scolded me like I was a five-year-old baby.

''And who are they?'' I raised a brow. Kaylee groaned and face-palmed, before shaking her head.

''Beatrice and Liam..."

''Are the most popular whatever in the school... BLAH BLAH BLAH..... I'm tired of hearing you say that.'' I rolled my eyes and resumed walking. I heard footsteps behind me and I assume Kaylee was following me until I get slammed against the wall. The impact makes my back hurt and I wince in pain. Seconds later Liam is standing in front of me staring coldly into my eyes. I let out a deep breath whiles throwing my head back. 'This guy is just looking for trouble but keep your cool and just walk away Zara 'I told myself and turned to leave but he trapped me between his arms.

''What do you want?'' I asked in annoyance.

''I think you know why we are here,'' he said, leaning forward his fresh breath fanning my face. His gorgeous face was just inches away from mine. Gosh he's so....' Focused Zara,'' I slapped myself mentally. ''done staring,'' he said with a smirk." At your ugly face? Yeah,'' I smiled, enjoying the shock on his face.

'Way to go Zara, that was quick thinking,' I high-fived

"And also, I wouldn't be asking what you wanted if I knew the reason. I shouldn't be saying this but I know how dumb you are so....you're welcome," I say, pissing him off even more.

"Are you talking to me or...."

"Geez, it's so difficult dealing with people like you," I face-palmed. " Of course, I'm referring to you, who else?" I roll my eyes.

" You do realize the mess you're getting yourself into, right? You know I can make your life miserable in this school, right? I'm sure you'veheard about the name Liam Hunter. I know your little friend told you all about me when you stepped foot here. She probably told you not to mess with me else you'll regret it. ''

I actually don't know why I was listening to him but I just wanted him to have the upper hand, to enjoy the dominance so that I could shatter it.

" It's only been a week since you came here so I'll assume you don't know the rules and let you go. We'll pretend all this never happened, if...and only if you apologize to Beatrice here and me." He finally ended his long speech. My ears were even bleeding.

Before I could speak, Kaylee rushed to my side and apologized to Liam.

"Please forgive her. She didn't mean anything she said at did back there," Kaylee said fear evident in her voice. Geez Kaylee, I really have to work on you.

"I want to hear her say it," Liam said looking at me again. Those beautiful blue eyes again, those beautiful blue eyes were staring at me. But I quickly snap out of it and laugh lightly.

"You want to hear it from me?" I ask and smile plastered on my lips. I stand on my toes and lean forward, my lips close to his ear as I whisper:

" In your wildest dream baby boy. Fuck you, fuck Beatrice, fuck everyone who wants an apology from me."

I shove him off me and walk away having a proud feeling in my chest.

When we got outside, Kaylee's driver was already waiting, which meant I was saved from lectured my Kaylee again. She waves at me before settling in the car. As I stare at the disappearing car, I groaned remembering I had forgotten my helmet. With no intention of going back in there, I throw my hoodie over my head and walk to my bike. I search my pockets and finally find my keys. Starting the bike, I drive out of the school, leaving a could of dust behind me.
