The Mean Duo ✔

2~ Xavier Russo

He didn't get out of my way like all the others, so here we are now standing in front of each other, neither willing to move and walk past.

"Move", I commanded him

"No", I heard Mia gasp at the deepness of his voice in that one word. It does do that to a person, I too initially had chills running down my spine at the coldness of his voice.

"You have pissed me enough for one day, so get out of my way!", I yelled at him

"Can say the same to you but unlike you, I tend to remove the obstacles in my way instead of just ranting about it", with that he pushed me aside and walked straight on.

By now I feel myself shake at his disrespect! But I didn't get to act on it as Josh walked out of the gym at that very moment.

"Josh! I'm having a bad day!" I whined as I hugged him.

"What's the matter Nat?" Josh wrapped his arm around me. Wolf whistles and cheers came from the other jocks in the gym at our interaction.

We are like the popular duo in school, some ship us together while some don't. Those that do are his jock friends because I always take them out for chicken wings on Friday evenings. Needless to say Josh is only this nice to me when his friends are around, so I don't mind spending whatever amount to keep it that way.

"Nat you okay?" Josh broke me out of my train of thoughts.

"Yeah no, it's a long day. Why don't we go have lunch?" I looked up at him

"Yeah I can't today Nat. Coach and I got into argument earlier and so now he wants me to run laps on the field"

"What! How could he!? You just wait I'll get him fired"

"No! Stay out of it! This is my thing I'll deal with it. Okay?"

"Fine. Whatever you want", I shrugged and went off to lunch with Karla and Mia

As we settled on the center table my eyes scanned for my arch enemy to sigh in relief at him not being here.

"Oof could've cut the sexual tension with a knife", Mia wiggled her eyebrows at me.

"What sexual tension? Josh was sweet."

"She doesn't mean Josh", Karla joined in.

"Who on earth would I have sexual tension with then?", I bit into a carrot in my bland salad.

"Well Xavier Russo of course", Mia winked or blinked I don't know.

"Who?", I looked at her confusedly.

"The hottie you spoke to earlier? The man with the Darth Vader voice?", Karla explained making me realize the asshole's name is Xavier.

"Why would I have sexual tension with him? You know I would never cheat on Josh"

"But Josh doesn't give a shi-", One look and Mia swallowed the words she was about to say.

Sure Josh did initially start dating me to secure a future college scholarship from my dad but he grew to love me, right? What the heck am I thinking? Of course he loves me, I'm fabulous. Why shouldn't he?

Cause you're a stuck-up bitch

Xavier's words rang in my head before I snapped the plastic fork I was holding in my hand.

"Let's just go to the grounds, Josh is running laps", I informed the girls as I trashed my half eaten salad.

After reaching the grounds, we sat ourselves on the benches and viewed a couple of guys, including Josh run laps below.

Once they stopped to take a break, I got my water bottle out and walked towards Josh, only for him to not notice me and run towards the other side of the ground where a certain someone was reading a book.

My blood boiled for the 100th time today when I saw him sit next to Leah under a tree.
"Girls. Let's go get my operation kit". At this Karla and Mia shot up and was by my side in an instant.

Instead of walking towards them and ripping her hair out, we walked towards Mia's locker and grabbed operation briefcase/kit from it.

After finishing with our mission we waited for the bell to ring. The bell rang right on time and students started flooding the hallway. Right when we saw Leah approach we took our positions at the best viewing spots available.

Right as Leah opened her locker, her face was spray painted black. Karla is very inventive when it comes to little pranks and gimmicks. Leah cried out as her face, hair and part of shirt was now all black, then her eyes moved to scan her completely trashed locker with confetti, glitter and glue. She was so horrified that she was about to cry, giving me the cue to make my presence known

"Looks like someone gave you a little welcome-to-school party", I smiled sickly at her.

"You! You did this didn't you?" She fumed

"Just wanted to welcome the new girl. Keep in mind I'll keep welcoming you when you're doing things, I specifically told you not to. Also know that this is just the beginning and things won't be so...nice the next time." My smile faded as I let my seriousness known.

"You think I'll just let this go! I'm going to report you to the principal!" She had tears in her eyes. Good.

"Go do it. I dare you", I folded my arms against my chest and leaned back with a smug smile

She glared at me before turning to stomp her way towards the principal's office.
"But..." I trailed off as she turned around to face me again.

"I'll also have you know...My dad's fucking the principal and basically funds this entire place. Therefore unless you want your scholarship withdrawn by all means go ahead." I smirked when her eyes widened. Karla and Mia and laughed behind me while the crowd that has gathered around had lock jaw.

I smiled as I strode past her into my biology class. But as soon as I entered my smile faded
