**beep beep be-*
I fluttered my eyes open and looked around my room. *sigh* another day in school. How is it only Tuesday?
I got ready and headed to school. I saw Tom standing outside once again so I walked over to him. "Hey,"
He glanced at me and turned back to the group of people he was talking to. Weird, he just ignored me. "Tom, hi,"
This time he didn't even glance at me, he just walked over to his locker, grabbed his books and went to his class. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Diablo staring at me with a curios expression on his face. I shook it off and walked to my next class-- without my books.
Lunch
I walked over to our usual table and tapped Tom on the shoulder. "Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked quietly. He stared at me for a second then turned back to Logan. "Tom, will you please just speak to me?" I huffed.
"What did I even do?"
This time he turned around and stood up. "What did you do? You were with Diablo! For fuck sake! You could have chosen anyone else to be best buddies with, but you just had to chops my enemy!" He shouted.
"What!? I hate Diablo and I don't doubt he hates me! What the fuck is your problem!? I spoke to him once and all we were doing was fighting!"
"Don't yell at me!"
"I will do whatever the fuck I want!"
Before I knew it, I felt a stinging sensation in my cheek. I stared at Tom in horror as what he did finally registered in his brain. "Angel I-"
"Save it," I snapped. I ran out of the cafeteria, tears brimming my eyes. Not before I saw Diablo staring at me. I glared at him, hoping he wouldn't hold this against me.
Diablo
I was busy teasing one of my friends when I heard a feminine voice yelling. I looked over and saw Angel shouting at Tom.
"Don't yell at me!" Tom yelled. I watched in amusement at the show unfolding before me.
"I will do whatever the fuck I want!" Angel snapped back.
Next, the horrible sound of skin hitting something echoed through the room. I smirked, thinking it was Angel who had hit Tom, until I noticed toms hand raised and angels horrified face.
"Angel I-" he tried to say, but she cut him off. "Save it." Then she ran out of the cafeteria. Not before her eyes found mine and she gave me a nasty glare.
I stormed over to Tom and grabbed his collar. "What the fuck was that!?" I yelled in his face.
"Nah dude, you know about the bet, I'm leaving her soon anyway, why do you care?"
"Just because I hate her it doesn't mean she fucking deserves this, you are gonna stay the hell away from her, understood,"
He stared at me and I threw a punch to his face. "Am I understood!?" I growled. He nodded and I dropped him to the ground.
"Nothing to see here!" I yelled at everyone. They all immediately found something to be doing and one of my friends gestured to the window, where Angel was sitting at a tree, looking at something on her wrist.
I walked out of the cafeteria and quietly went over to where she was sitting.
Angel
I heard a slight crunch, I looked up and saw Diablo leaning against the tree I was currently sitting at.
I quickly pulled down my sleeve, hoping he hadn't seen any of my old scars. "If your gonna make fun of me, do it another time. I'm not in the mood for you and your shit right now," I sobbed, trying to sound strong.
He put his hand over his heart, feigning hurt. "Ouch, actually I came to see if you were okay."
I furrowed my eyebrows and stared at the boy who was now sitting beside me. "Why would you care?"
"Because, believe it or not, I actually have a heart. And that slap looked pretty bad, plus you have a mark forming on your cheek." He pointed out.
"Don't worry about me,"
I bit my lip from breaking into sobs again and he game a forced smile. "I'm taking you to my house, I doubt you want your dad to see that mark,"
"I'm not skipping school,"
"You don't have to, I'll meet you in the parking lot after school.
I looked at him in disbelief. "Really? Why would you do that for me, you hate me?"
"You know what? Forget it. I'm leaving, bye," he snapped.
He got up and walked to class. I hadn't even noticed the late bell had rung. I quickly hurried to my locker and got my books for AP calculus.
"Your late," mr Andrews snapped, a plump old man who always wore a suit.
"Really, I hadn't noticed," I said sarcastically.
"Two days detection for talking back to a teacher and being late to class."
I groaned and walked to my seat, waiting for this horrible day to end. My mind drifted off to Tom.
Why had he seemed so distant? He seemed really bothered about me talking to Diablo even though he knows I hate him. And that slap-- it didn't even seem like him. He just got so angry. I was snapped out of my thoughts by someone calling my name.
I looked up and saw the whole class staring at me. "What!" I shouted.
"Damn, someones in a bad mood," Cole, one of my best-friends chuckled.
"So you weren't at the cafeteria?"
"No, what happened? I was at the bar with Dylan."
"Tom hit me,"
He growled lowly and his jaw clenched. "What do you mean he hit you?"
"We were fighting and he slapped me,"
"That's how you got that mark? I thought you ran into a pole or something."
Suddenly the bell rang and me and Cole made our way out of class. "Wanna come to mine? I got pizza!" He stated excitedly.
"Can't, I have detention," I said flatly.
"Oh yeah, poor you,"
"Bye,"
I walked to the detention room and shoved the door open, not caring who I was with. Right now all I wanted was to be at home. I looked around and noticed there was no teacher. Great, now I can leave when I want.
I sat down in the back and mindlessly started playing candy crush. I heard the chair beside me screech and I saw Tom sitting there. "Angel, about earlier--"
"No Tom, we're over,"
"Your dumping me because I hit you?"
"No, I'm dumping you because you promised you'd never hurt me and you broke that promise."
He laughed darkly and moved closer to me. "You can't leave me that easily."
"What happened to you? Why are you being so mean all of a sudden,"
"Because your a worthless piece of trash and I'm the best thing that'll ever happen to you."
I felt tears brim my eyes. He was the first person to call me trash. I've been called worthless, but not trash.
"W-what?"
"You can't break up with me, I'm leaving you, it was all a bet. We made a bet to break you and I finally did. You should have known, nobody actually likes you. We used you, we hate you."
I ran out and left the school-- not caring that I was skipping detention, and would probably recurve another one because of it.
I got in my car and huffed when it had no gas in it. Did I mention it was raining? That's right, I was gonna have to walk home in the rain!
I stomped out of my car and immediately got wet.
By the time I was half way down the road a black mustang started slowly driving beside me. The owner rolled down the window and I saw Diablo sitting in the drivers seat. "What are you doing!?" He yelled, trying to be heard over the rain. "I'm walking home!" He sighed and gestured for me to get into the car. I shook my head frantically. "No way!" I had seen Diablo driving and trust me when I say this, he drives like a maniac.
"Get in the car!"
"No!"
He groaned and stepped out of the car. "What are you doing?" I asked cautiously.
He didn't answer, he just threw me over his shoulder and dropped me into his car. "Now, I'm taking you home, when you get there, I want you to get changed into warm and fluffy pyjamas, because it's not a nice day today in Ireland."
I nodded slowly. "What's it to you?"
"I don't want you to get sick, is that such a bad thing?"
"I guess not."
We pulled up outside his house, and I quickly slammed the car door and went into my house, to get ready for a nice warm bath, with Netflix on in the background.
Did I forget to tell you I had a tv in My bathroom? Well I do.
And that's how I spent my Tuesday night... Watching Netflix in a warm bath.
