“Haha, shut up, you’re so ridiculous.” I laugh at her.
“Hey, that means move dumbass!” She yells to some of the kids in the hallway. I burst out laughing before running into a solid wall of muscle.
Looking up I see it’s time to have it out with the mini mob wannabe’s playing royals. Matteo looks flat out pissed, whereas the other two look mildly amused. Whether that’s at SB’s antics or the fact that their leader is fuming is beyond me.
“What the fuck is going on? Why does this whole school seem to think you are no longer mine?” He booms.
Everyone stops to stare before he turns his glare on them and then they scatter like mice. He turns his icy glare back to me and his low growl breaks my skin out in goosebumps.
“Why in the actual fuck couldn’t I reach you over the break? My dad says that you are playing hard to get just like your mother did. He says you’ll need to be broken in before you whore yourself out like your mother did. I’ll gladly help you realize just how much you are meant to be mine. No one else is to touch you without my permission. Do. You. Understand?” He spews his venom all over me.,
Oh fuck no, he didn’t.
“I belong to no one you stupid fuck. Your dad is a psychopath and my mother is better off for never having to marry him. She never whored herself out, but you’re so wrapped up in daddy’s web you wouldn’t have the first clue of what actually happened. Wake the fuck up! Or, you know what, just keep listening to the fake ass bullshit your dad throws your way and just stay away from me. You won’t claim my position in my family’s companies and you sure as shit won’t claim any positions in my bed. Must suck for you that you can’t use me to gain any power now, huh? I’ll be the one making the decisions around here going forward,Your Majesty.I told you I’d be coming for you. Best watch out before I decide it’s off with your head. Don’t touch me without my permission again. Doyouunderstand?” I throw it all right back at him, scoffing and then turning to walk away.
I catch the eyes of Noah and Cohen and give them a mocking bow.
“That goes for the two of you as well. Stay the fuck away from me and figure out who the real bad guy is. I’m done with the lot of you.”
I give one last glance over my shoulder.
“Oh and stop sending me flowers.”

Gym is exactlywhat I’ve been waiting for to see my plans for Avery through. I needed a little extra time in the locker room so I told the coach that I’ll be a few minutes late due to speaking with a teacher about an essay coming due.
Luckily, I had talked her into a field hockey lesson prior to the break, showing my interest in learning the sport for the upcoming season come senior year. She was more than happy to dedicate the last half of the semester to the sport, high off of the winning season that just ended.
Being highly competitive and driven to learn new things is going to make beating Avery at her own game fun as shit. I can’t wait.
After taking my time getting ready in the locker room, I head out to the field and see that the girls are already picking teams. Avery is obviously the captain of one team while SB is the captain of the other.
She gives me a weird look, I determine to mean “where in the hell have you been?” and I give her a smirk and a shake of my head to say, “none of your business, bitch”. She laughs out loud before calling my name and recruiting me for her team.
Once the teams are built and the goalkeepers chosen, we start the game. The ball gets pitched and SB dribbles it down the field, moving to score a goal when I see Avery come up on her left side. She’s going to play dirty; I can see it written all over her face so I swoop in, calling to SB to pass the ball and strike the ball into the goal just as Avery takes her out.
SB saw Avery and moves with her to keep her fall light but the game continues that way until the end. We are all covered in mud, thanks to the sprinklers that went off, but thanks to our teamwork SB and I secured the win. Avery is pissed and stomps off to the showers before I can make any sort of snarky remark.
“Bitch! How did I not know that you are ahh-mazing at field hockey?! I would’ve made you join the team when you started here. That was so much fun. Next year we are going to be unstoppable.” She laughs my way.
“Honestly, I had no idea. I’ve never played before. I just let the coach know that I may be interested in learning and she set up the lesson plan to make it happen.” I shrug.
Looking over at her I smile
“Maybe next year we could-”
“AAAHHHHHHH!!! MYYYYYYYY HAAAAAIIIIIIRRRRRR!!!” Avery is screaming at the top of her lungs so we pick up our pace and jog into the locker room to see what’s going on. SB takes one look at her and falls to the floor laughing.
“You- You- You’rebald!!! Hahahahaha.”
She barely makes out what she’s saying between trying to breathe and wiping tears from her face. Just looking at her laughing is enough to make me giggle.
“You! You evil man stealing little cunt! You did this! What, it wasn’t enough to steal my man, my grades and my spot as Queen of this school?! You had to steal myhairtoo!!?”
I laugh but it isn’t one of joy, it comes from a dark place, deep in my sinister soul. I look her dead in the eye, lower my voice and say,
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. I would never chemically alter your shampoo to ruin your hair after you attempted to ruin mine. I clearly don’t need to do anything of the sort, since you’re making it so easy to beat you in literally everything you’ve ever attempted to do in your entire life. Maybe you should think about the way you treat everyone here. It seems as though you have quite the enemies. Watch your back princess. You never know what one has up their sleeve.” I give her a smirk, grab my shit and my best friend, then walk out of the locker room covered in mud.
