The Assassin's Cupid {Under Editing}

Island girl

A minute or two went by before he spoke up again.

"Are you worried about what Tevette thinks?"

I whipped my head up so fast, I think I heard a crack.

"What? No, no, no. Not at—"

"Because he probably also thinks you're awesome." He cut in.

Now it was my turn to give him a blank look.

"Kyan, we're talking about Lyrik here. He hates my guts. He can't ever think I'm awesome at anything." I stated, scoffing, because it was true.

A small smile played on his lips and he put his phone away.

"What makes you think he hates you?"

I rested my both legs on the left arm of the chair and folded my arms.

"Well, for starters, he wants me out of the team so bad, It's like I'm some evil energy he wants to get rid of." I said, actually wondering why I was telling kyan this.

At least, he was a good listener and I liked him for that.

"Do you think he may have a reason for not wanting you on the team?" He said, staring at me intently.

"Like what?"

He simply shrugged, "figure it out yourself."

I sighed at that but didn't say anything.

"Besides, Tevette doesn't hate you. If you've seen Tevette actually 'hate' someone..." he chuckled and shook his head "Trust me, you'd be happy you're not the one in their shoes."

And I rolled my eyes at that.

I didn't want to think too much about what kyan said. I mean,why the hell should I care if he hates me or not?

That should be his problem, not mine.

Just as we settled in a comfortable silence, Lyrik's voice rang out through the hallway.

"Way to go, Jaxon. Fuck you!"

*~*

Lyrik.

"What's up?" Doce asked for the nth time and I, for the nth time ignored her. I was too deep in my own thoughts to reply to whatever she had to say. Right now, we were strolling by the side of a river at the hidden parts of Nova Scotia. We were supposed to have underwater training.

Jaxon made her stay. He fucking made her stay.

That was my annoyance.

If there was anything she had to say, she could go right ahead. Because I wasn't replying didn't mean I wasn't listening.

Then she got pissed.

Like really pissed.

"What's your problem?" She said, pushing me. "You haven't said much since you left the conference with Jaxon."

I still didn't say anything and she literally turned into a bug, hitting and distracting me, most annoyingly, bugging me with her unending questions.

I got fed up and pushed her away but she fell into the river instantly with a scream.

God, this girl was lighter than air.

It wasn't my intention that she'd fall into the river but it stopped the questions so...

Win-win?

For a moment, I treasured the silence, continuing my walk waiting until she resurfaced

...only, she didn't resurface.

"Doce, you can come out now, and rain me with your childish insults." I said, rolling my eyes, knowing that was what she was going to do.

But she didn't come out. She didn't resurface.

"Doce, stop playing games." I said, coming to a halt.

I looked at the river, it was clear and still.

And it's pretty deep.

"Doce?"

There was no sign of her, no ripple or bubbles in the water. Everything was eerily still.

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated and without thinking, I took off my leather jacket and jumped into the river.

I went under the water and searched for her frantically. At every point when I turned and didn't see her, my pulse grew wilder.

I started getting scared for her life. I haven't been scared for anyone's life in a really long time.

Just as I thought my pulse was going to explode, I sighted her close to the bed of the river, kicking weakly and hopelessly.

I immediately swam towards her, carried her and swam back to the surface.

Momentarily, we reached the surface of the river and swam to shore.

I placed her on the sand and stepped out of the water as she coughed out all the sea water she had taken in.

I sat beside her and supported her as she kept on panting extremely.

I watched her breath heavily for seconds and when she was well oxygenated, you can guess what happened next.

She started raining me with her childish insults.

As expected.

"You, forsaken lickerish. You almost ended me!" She yelled, slapping my arm as she blinked water out of her eyes.

I stared at her hazel Green eyes and her wet hair. Her hair looked less full when it was wet but it was still pretty. The sun made the water droplets on her fairly light skin glisten.

I had never been so happy to see her, still alive.

"It's not my fault. I expected you to know how to swim as a Caribbean that you are. Aren't you like an island girl?" I stated, rolling my eyes.

What?

I'm happy to see her alive doesn't mean I have to show it.

"An island girl with a fear of drowning!" She fumed, got up and walked away.

Like she knew where she was going.
