Avery P. O. V
I knew Hehe. I giggled under my breath. What I did to the guys was wrong. But look what they did to me. I could count and name on my fingers what they did to me. Okay. They were so awful to me. I didn’t want to think about it now. Or I would cry. I didn’t want them to see my tears and I promise myself I would try not to cry over them anymore.
They were so cruel at times they would trip me and threw food at me. They would call me Miss Piggy. I just run away and cry from being embarrassed because of their cruel jokes and hateful words in front of the whole student body.
That’s what they get for treating me like shit when I was nothing to them before they find out I was their mate.
After I left them all hard and piss off. I went back to my locker and got my fifth-period Math class textbooks. Once I grab them and shut my locker. I started to turn around when I ran into Duke Conaway.
Why God! This is not my day. I thought in my head.
That was when I heard him speak.
“Hello, Avery, did you get my message on your lock and the red rose.” He said with an overconfident cocky grin on his face.
I wanted to smack that cocky grin off his handsome- I mean ugly face. He thought he was all that and a bag of chips.
When I said a bag of chips. I heard my stomach growling and I felt my mouth watering when I thought about food. I was not eaten yet. Also, lunchtime already went by, and I missed it.
I saw his overconfident sinister grin. He heard my stomach growl. That’s just great!
“Shows like someone hungry? Because I know I am.” I heard him say and he licked his lips. He was staring at me like I was something on the McDonald’s menu.
Shoot! I groaned. I was so hungry. I forgot to eat.
Damn it! I can be stupid sometimes.
“Oh, don’t beat yourself up Avery,” I heard Angelstar in the back of my mind.
“So, yea, it’s okay you forgot to eat. Let’s leave now and go eat.” I heard Angelstar say. I sighed and I didn’t want the girls to feel I still felt like shit and stupid for not eating.
If I wasn’t too busy hiding out in the bathroom. Crying and hiding like a coward. If just standing up with the awful people is rude and cruel to me. Maybe I wouldn’t be so scared to speak up. Then I won’t be taking Camellia and her bimbo friends’ shit right now.
Then Emilia came into the bathroom and said a couple of words and the last thing made me think. I was still confused. What she means by that.
So, here we are back for the present.
“Yes, I did,” I told him with a forced smile on my face. I didn’t want to show him I was faking a smile.
“Thank you.” I forced it out of my mouth. He knew I didn’t like him, and it was so hard to say thank you.
“You’re welcome, sweetheart.” He said with an arrogant grin and a wink.
I wanted to roll my eyes. He is unbelievable sometimes just like the other male population in this school. Especially the four horsemen. I thought with a huff.
I started thinking about them. I was sad and happy at the same time.
Oh, God, my emotions are everywhere inside me. That was when I wanted to get out of here. So, I took a step, but I was stopped by someone’s arm around my elbow. That was when I forgot I was still at my locker with Duke right behind me.
“Hey! not so fast darling. Where do you think you’re going? I am still speaking to you.” I heard his sinister voice when he spoke behind me. It sounded with demand and order at the same time. What does he think he is doing? Oh, hell no he not going to tell me what to do. I am never going to let anymore tell me what to do and hurt me. No way, not this girl. Not anymore.
“Excuse me. Duke, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” I told him in an annoyed voice. I wanted to ripe his dirty hand under my elbow. I didn’t like him near me or touching me.
He was giving me mixed emotions. I needed to get out of here and get fresh air before I do something I will regret. I could feel my body tingling where he has his hand wrapped around my elbow. When he lifted my chin up. I saw his fangs showing inside his mouth. I licked my lips. I wondered what it is like to trace my tongue across his fangs. I didn’t know why I felt hot all over my body.
“Oh, sweetheart,” I heard a chuckle in his voice. “I will never let you go. We are bonded and you’re the queen of my kingdom. So, you see kitten, we belong together.” He said into my ear, and I gasped and jumped because I felt his fangs scape my neck. That was when I snapped out of his hold and turn around with a quick slap on his cheek.
“You. Don’t. Get. To. Touch. Me.” I said with a growl back of my throat. I was so angry he tried to touch and seductive me. He could try all he wanted. I was not going to give in. I got my heart with for the four horsemen.
“No! I will never be yours! I am not a toy you can take and play with.” I told him with a serious expression on my face.
Ahh, I was so tired of everyone trying to boss me around and treat me like a fucking ragdoll. I was not their pretty doll to dress up and then never play with again.
I was sick in tired of these men! Think you can play around with a girl’s feelings and then throw them away like a broken used toy.
“That’s what you think pet. You see kitten. I will have you and you will be my queen.” He told me with a smug smirk on his handsome face with a wink and started walking away.
I didn’t have time to speak because he started walking away with a whistle on his lips.
All I could do was stare at him with my mouth wide open.
“What in the world just happened?” I thought with a shocked look on my face.
