Chapter 4: Kill Me Now

Joanna's POV

*Thump, thump*

Did you hear that? I think that was the sound of my heart as it tried to beat out of my chest.

I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I swear I saw Tony coming in slow mode, you heard me right, in slow motion like a lion quietly walking to its prey because it was sure they couldn't escape, and guess what? I was that prey with no possible means of escape, Yay! you feel my sarcasm?

"Well, well well." He smirked, "who's this cutie here?"

"Oh shit." I swallowed and felt my heart, beat faster in fear.

He kept coming closer, while I tried to move back, at the same time placing a palm on my chest, in a bid to stop the drumming of my heart, and the bad news, my back hit the fucking wall. "Shit, shit, shit," I muttered.

"What's your name beautiful." He winked, and placed his arm on the wall behind me, and brought his face to the same level as mine, where I could see every line on his face and perceive his intoxicating scent.

When I thought things couldn't get worse, it so damn did, how you may ask. Well, my nose got tickled by his perfume again, which meant, I sneezed, again, and this time it was directly in his face, I fucking sneezed on his damn face!

"Shit." I groaned. "Kill me now, heavens please take me, I've embarrassed myself enough to die, so please do the honor and save me from this humiliation."

"What the fuck!" He yelled as he stared at me in shock.

"Am sorry, am so so sorry," I begged, and did my best not to faint from the amount of embarrassment I had brought upon myself.

"Sorry can't fix this." He growled and wiped his face with his hands before he sent me a glare.

"I'm so sorry once more, please I am. I think am kind of allergic to your perfume or cologne, whatever am sorry." I sighed.

"How is that my business, you fvcking sneezed in my damn face." He grumbled while he pressed me to the wall, and that was when something in me snapped as I'd had enough of his bullshit.

"Jeez dude, I've said sorry like a thousand times already, or are you deaf?" I asked, with a challenging look.

< Oh no >

< Did she just >

< Did she call him deaf >

< Oh, She's so dead >

< Rip new girl >

I heard people muttering, including Harmony my so-called rib crusher, and yes I called him that because his hugs could kill a person, hope you saw what happened earlier when he hugged me, I nearly passed out.

"What did you say?" Tony questioned loudly, which snapped me out of my silly thoughts.

Focus Joanna focus, I silently willed myself.

"Dude chill, I said I was sorry, okay? Stop yelling." I groaned, fed up with all the drama. I mean, it was my first day at school and I'd already stirred up enough drama to last me a lifetime.

"Who are you to tell me what to do!" He roared, yeah he literally roared.

"I ain't telling you what to do, I'm just saying sorry okay, chill a bit." I forced a smile, despite my fear.

I noticed him shaking, his nose flared, his muscles tightened, ready to attack, but luckily for me, the bell rang for the next period.

"Thank God." I sighed in gratitude, letting out the breath I didn't know I was holding. "Oh thank you heavens."

"This isn't over." He smirked before he stormed off, his two friends behind him.

I then turned to Harmony in anger after they had left. "You," I voiced out and pulled him by the ear while I trudged down the hall, pissed.

"What the hell, did I do?" He whined. "Ouch, ouch that hurts, shit, just tell me what I did already."

"You could have at least stopped me from sneezing," I whisper yelled.

"How the heck was I supposed to know you were allergic to his cologne. It wasn't my fault you couldn't hold it in till he passed." He scoffed.

"Alright," I blurted after which I released his ear from my grip in a sigh. "Only because I think you are right."

"You think? bitch am 100% right." He winked.

"Yeah yeah, nada nada, you are buying me lunch." I smiled.

"How, when, what___, Oh Dang it, Okay." He groaned as he gave in to my puppy dog look.

"Well thank you." I grinned and planted a chaste kiss on his cheek, don't judge me I love my food.

"Great, now that's settled, let's get back to class." He smiled.

"Nerdy," I muttered under my breath.

"What did you say?" He asked with a weird stare.

"Nothing." I laughed, knowing he heard me. "What's our next class."

"Chemistry." He smiled after he had checked his timetable.

Harmony and I were both offering science courses, so we basically had the same classes, except when he had Agriculture and I had Animal husbandry.

"Uggh, I hate Chemistry," I grunted.

"You hate every subject except Animal Husbandry and English." He rolled his eyes.

"That, my friend, is so true." I nodded, after which I intertwined my arm with his, as we walked to class.

Reaching class, Harmony immediately left me to get a seat, so I searched around for the next empty one.

My eyes scanned the area till I spotted a vacant one. "Thank God." I breathed in relief, but I guess I spoke too soon because the person sat beside it was none other than, Mr bad boy, Aka Tony.

"Shit," I muttered and slowly dragged my legs to the said seat, beside the devil.

"Well hello there sneezer," His annoying voice whispered.

"Ignore him, Ignore him," I willed myself as I got settled.

"Psst, Psst," He hissed.

"Ignore him, he's just the devil reincarnate, don't let him get to you," I chanted, as I took deep breathes, to keep calm until I felt something sting my skin,

"What!" I hissed and whirled to see him smirk at me with a sharp pencil in his grip.

"Ooh, so you heard me, I was starting to think you were deaf," He replied, a challenging expression on his face.

I chuckled, "Nah, you are the deaf one, remember when I called you that, in the hallway?"

"Nope," he responded with a shake of his head. "I couldn't forget the girl who sneezed in my face so easily like that."

"Hmmmmm," I grinned. "Well, come to think of it, I don't regret it at all."

"Joanna, Tony, is there something you would like to share with the class?" Our chemistry teacher called, as she gave us pointed looks.

"Nope!" We both replied at the same time, which sounded weird.

Tony and I then glanced at each other with freaked out expressions, that we burst out laughing afterward.

What a turn of events, I thought feeling weird.
