The Girl Who Never Smiles | ✔️

Chapter 15

Right now, I am walking to my locker to get my stuff before heading to my next class. My eyebrows furrow together when I see a large crowd of people around my locker area. People have their phone out taking pictures and I hurry over to my locker. I elbow through people and my heart drops when I see what's on my locker. My vision becomes blurred by the tears threatening to fall from my eyes, but I quickly mask it knowing the amount of people around me.

On my locker is the peonies Issac got me drenched in black paint and the peonies have lost it's vibrant pink color. The black paint has dripped all over the floor and is on my locker. In red paint, it says, 'I always win.'

Victoria

This was a message.

I rip the flowers off my locker and dump it in a trash can and open my locker. Maybe they just bought peonies and drenched it in paint. Maybe they didn't break into my locker and steal my flowers. When I open my locker not only are the peonies gone, but my locker has been trashed and it's filled with toilet paper.

Stay calm

I can feel my anger flare and for once, I want to be reckless and just punch something, punch her but I can't.

I turn around and look at everyone in the crowd. I give them my most deadliest look and they scurry away. I see Issac walking with Armani over here and I just want to hide away and not face Issac.

Ever since I have befriended Issac, these things are happening to me. And I want to blame him. I want to hate him.

But I can't. And it's frustrating.

Issac looks at me and realizes my stressed state and quickens his steps to reach me. When he looks at me, his eyebrows crease together.

"What happened?"

"Someone broke into my lockers, took the flowers you gave me and drenched it in black paint messing up my locker and the floor. Then they trashed my locker. And filled it with toilet paper. Then they wrote this on it."

"Victoria" Issac seethes and his jaw locks in anger. His grey eyes have turned to a dark storm and I have never seen Issac this mad.

Armani looks at the scene in utter shock. He walks away and comes back about a minute or so with paper towels, cleaner, a bucket of water, and rags.

"I'm so sorry Bay. This is all my fault." Issac says feeling guilty and his head drops. I walk over to him and lay my hands on each side of his face and bring his head up so he can look at me.

"It's fine. Go to class. I am going to clean this up."

"You actually thought I would go to class and let you clean this up alone."

"I don't want you getting in trouble because of me."

"But you are in this mess" he says and gestures to the locker and the mess. "Because of me."

"Issac-"

"I'm staying Bay." he says and walks over to the garbage can and roll it over to my locker.

"Thanks Armani for the rags and cleaner." I say to him with a smile.

"Yeah. Sorry about all of this." he says and walks away.

I start taking up the loads of toilet paper in my locker and throwing them out while Issac cleans the paint off the floor that has unfortunately dried. I take a rag and help Issac scrub the paint off the floor.

"I really am sorry Bay. Maybe we should stop being fr-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence Issac Evans because if you do I will punch you in the face and kick you in the crotch."

Issac eyes widen in shock and then he returns to scrubbing.

"I know being your friend comes with...issues because of your psycho ex, your status and reputation. I know that. And i have thought about it. You know ending this. But I never could. You have gotten underneath my skin Issac Evans and I don't know how to shake you off and I'm not sure I actually want to."

"Well I'll be damned. Is Bay Stewart professing her love to me?" Issac says with a smirk on his face.

"I can still punch you in the face you know."

He laughs and continues scrubbing the paint off the floor.

I realized that I can be friends with Issac Evans. I just can't fall for him. That's an easy goal for me to achieve.

Don't fall for Issac Evans.

Simple.

Author's Note:

Hi Everyone! I hoped you liked the chapter.

I will be making character aesthetic collages and I will upload them in a chapter soon. Most books include their character aesthetics in the beginning, but I didn't know I was going to actually do it, but I said why not? So, they will be uploaded after chapter 19, but before chapter 20. Sorry you have to wait so long, but I already wrote chapters 16-19, so I will just have to upload it right after 19.

Any questions?

Anyway, thank you for reading!
