Book:His Burning Obsession Published:2024-8-26

Every glint of hope I had drained off my face when my eyes came in contact with the real owner.
This has to be a dream!
Oh God!…
I must be dreaming… God, please let me be dreaming!
I’m so fucking dead today…
Maybe I forgot to pray to God! That’s why I got unlucky and fell into the trap of my tormentor.
Standing in my front was Lucas who was completely drenched.
The strawberry milkshake had poured on his face and designer top as it dripped on the floor, staining his trousers a bit.
His menacing gaze lingered on me, finding every way to devour me as his green eyes became a bit darker.
If there’s anything I yearned for at this moment, it would be anything but to disappear from this situation I got in.
I would gladly bury myself if the grounds open its mouth freely to swallow me.
No wonder everywhere became mute after the incident.
Imagine being in this kind of situation with the dangerous and popular guy in school.
I laid still on the floor as my body quivered with fear, I didn’t want to stand up at all.
“Woah! Just wow!! This is incredible!!!” Beatrice laughed crazily breaking the silence as people began to whisper.
Now, this is the part I hate having a best friend, they never get to know when one’s supposed to be serious in a dead situation.
Was she supposed to fucking laugh?
Why can’t she sense the hot tension surrounding us at the moment?
“Would you shut up, bitch? I heard Jenny’s voice becoming irritated.
Jenny’s here?
Now, I finally find a way to get myself into much bigger trouble.
Why hadn’t I noticed her sooner, I must have been so stupid staring at Lucas alone and not glancing around too.
It would have been relieving if the milkshake had poured on Jenny and not Lucas.
“Camilla! Are you okay?” Beatrice finally asked as she bent to my level staring at me worriedly.
I stood up from the floor immediately and my stupid self moved closer to Lucas, whose gaze was fixed on me.
He must be boiling with anger…
“I-I’m so s-sorry, I-I di-didn’t mean to pour you the drink!” I stuttered feeling so scared.
His jaw just clenched tightly, and I brought out the handkerchief in my pocket and cleaned his face with it.
‘Now, you’re finally crazy?’ My mind screamed at me.
Lucas looked amused and I was surprised he let me cleaned his face.
I felt so nervous and avoided his gaze.
“Awwwn!” Everyone in the canteen cooed.
“What did you think you’re doing?” Jenny growled behind me as she pushed me away forcefully making me lose my balance.
Lucas’s strong-arm caught my wrist as he pulled me back making me crash into his strong chest.
Everyone gasped again looking at us.
What’s wrong with me?
Have I lost my senses due to the slight fall?
And what’s wrong with Lucas, he should have just let me fall instead.
“Don’t you get it? Stay away from my boyfriend!” Jenny screamed pulling me forcefully from Lucas’s body, now her face was red which was caused by the anger of course.
“Do you know how much his clothes cost, I bet you can’t even make up to that in a year if you work as a hoe,” She threw daggers at me as she glared with all the hate radiating her body.
Ouch! That hurts!
“What do you want, huh?” She asked eyeing me from head to toe.
“And what does it looks like she wants?” Beatrice asked in an annoyed tone behind me.
Ben walked into the canteen as he stared amusingly from Lucas, then to me.
He felt like laughing but decided against it.
“What going on here?” Bella walked in.
“Oh my God!” Susan gasp holding her chocolate milkshake and hamburger aside as they all stared at Lucas.
“You did this because you wanted his attention!” Jenny accused.
“No, I didn’t, it was a mistake,” I said trying to be firm.
Jenny had snatched the drink Susan was holding in a swift move and I wasn’t too fast to move away as I became drenched too as I gasp not expecting that from her.
“Are you crazy?” Beatrice roared ready to charge at Jenny but was held back by Ben.
I was so shocked, my loose pink blouse and faded jeans were completely ruined now.
I removed my glasses cause the thick liquid on them was blocking my view.
Tears were beginning to well up in my eyes.
“Stop bothering yourself bitch, cause he will never have anything to do with a poor slut like you,” Jenny smirked and I glanced at Lucas as a tear dropped from my face.
His face was flushed with hurt but he masked it away quickly.
“Shut your fucking mouth! She’s not anything you said!” Beatrice shouted as she tried to free herself from Ben, who was blocking her path by holding her back.
“Get away from me Ben!” She warned dangerously.
“Loser!” Susan pouted as she threw her hamburger directly to my face.
The slimy meat and veggies stuck on my face.
I’m not supposed to be here, I need to run away.
I came here because I was hungry, even the hunger had scooted somewhere to hide due to the mess I’m in.
I don’t think I can hold this any longer.
Lucas seems to be enjoying the scene than getting worried about himself stained.
“I said, I’m sorry!” I said in a low shaky voice as my tears decided to fall freely and I decided to run away.
This was the worst embarrassment ever.
A strong arm stopped me as I turned slowly looking at who it was.
It was Lucas…
Why did he stop me?
What does he want from me?
He enjoyed all the mock and embarrassment, I was receiving because of him, was that why he stopped me?
So I could get more and satisfy him.
“Leave me alone!” I said in a weak voice.
Beatrice was still struggling with Ben, I don’t know why he’s stopping her from saving me.
Without saying anything, Lucas began to draw me along with him as he came out of the canteen.
**Ppphhaaattt!!**
We heard a loud slap and I glanced over my shoulder with curiosity.
I can’t believe this!
Beatrice had fucking slap Ben, who just got the greatest shock of his life.
I bet he wasn’t expecting that…
“I told you to stay away from me?” I heard her shouting.
She’s so fierce…
I wish I could be bold as her, but here I am like a weakling as I let Lucas drag me away.
Fear crept over me as I concluded that Lucas wanted to give me my punishment.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to cause what happened back there,” I pleaded but he didn’t reply to me.
“Just let me go,” I cried as I tried to free my hand.
His grip tightened on my wrist firmly but not in a painful way.
Students passing by us gave us curious looks as they whispered among themselves.
I was hating this attention we were getting from them.
“Please stop!” I begged again.
His inarticulateness just made me scared the more.
I cringe at the thought, of every of his unidentified evil plans for me.
I became puzzled when we got to the school park.
We got to a black Ferrari sports car, which I think was his.
This is so damn!
I didn’t even realize when he dragged me to the other side of the car as I was already lost in it.
“Get in!” His voice snapped me out of my daze.
“What?” I asked dumbfounded, gazing at him stupidly
He can’t be serious!
Is he inviting me into his car?
This must be a joke!
“No Lucas, I said I’m sorry, what more do you want from me?” I declined to stare intensely into his eyes.
“I said get i–”
“Camilla!” Someone called interrupting his order, I suppose.
I looked back to see Beatrice running worriedly to where I was.
