Don't Mess With Her

c h a p t e r • 15

I bury my face in the book and pretend to be deep in it but I'm just thinking on what to eat for lunch and also how to avoid Ryder.

"Stop avoiding me." A voice says from out of nowhere and I was about to shriek but he covered my mouth and traps me in the corner.

How cliché can this get?

I was about to kick his balls but he pushes my leg back down and pins it.

Oh yay.

Then, an idea pops itself in my head and it's like a miracle.

I lean closer to him and make him think I'm gonna kiss him but I kiss his cheek.

This took him by surprise and I took that as an advantage to escape him and run away.

I hear him calling out my name but I just kept running. A lot like this morning, except I wasn't dragged into an empty room this morning.

I tried screaming but it came out muffled because the unknown douchebag was covering my mouth.

Why do I always find myself in this situation?

"What do you want from me? I'm in the middle of running from a really hot guy because I told him something I shouldn't have and kissed him on his cheek and probably gave him a boner." I say.

He looks at me confused.

"Who the hell are you?" I look at him like he's crazy and he smirks.

"Your worst nightmare, baby." He says.

"Hey, your worst nightmare. I'm Lili." I hold my hand out for him to shake but when he was about to take my hand I pull it back.

"So, is there any particular explanation or reason as to why I'm here?" I say looking around.

"You know, you're the one who's supposed to be confused and quiet and I'm supposed to be the one that has the upper hand." He says.

"And why is that?" I say raising an eyebrow.

"'Cause I'm a guy and you're a girl. End of story." He says.

"You know jerkface, a girl can do much more than look pretty. A girl can also be much stronger than you." I give him a dead serious look.

I could've sworn I saw him gulp.

"Anyways, it was nice meeting you, your worst nightmare, but I need to go before he finds me." I say saluting him and head to the door.

Just as I was about to, your worst nightmare calls out for me and I froze.

But it wasn't him who made me stop in my tracks.

It was the Giraffe himself standing in front of me.

"Heyyy, you. Oh would you look at the time, I need to go...volunteer at the...giraffe shelter...yeah that. Bye! It was nice meeting you your worst nightmare!" I say and just when I was this close to be able to escape, Mr, Giraffe pulls me back and I stumble into the room.

He walks in and closes the door. I look at the closed door and pouted.

Dang it!

He puts me behind him and that's when I realised he had that same murderous look on his face.

Your worst nightmare smirks at Ryder and he gave him a glare instead.

"Oh, would you look at that. Little miss Lili moved on pretty quick from Caleb didn't she." He smirks.

My mood fell instantly.

How dare he!?

"I guess this is better than the last one. He was such a weakling." He mocks.

All I saw was red by now.

Without even thinking I march in front of him and punch him square in his face.

"Don't. Fucking. Talk. About. Him. Ever. Again. In. That. Nasty. Mouth. Of. Yours." I say hitting him wherever I can in between each word I say and I kept hitting him until I was lifted up my waist.

"Let go of me!" I say. "Let me mess up his face even more! God didn't mess it up enough!"

He chuckles. "That's enough, Shortcake."

I turn to him.

"No! It's not. Look at him! I'm just doing justice to his face! Maybe, if I just-"

"Shortcake."

"Let me finish. If I just-"

"Shortcake."

"No! If I just-"

"Lili, he ran off." He says and I look at him, then turn around only to find him gone.

"This is all your fault! I could've sent him back to wherever the hell he came from to help him but no, you just had to-" He cuts me off again.

"Lili, I know there's something you're not telling me." He says and it took me by surprise.

So, I did what I always do.

I run.

Which is something I should receive an award for. Just saying.
