2 . Worst First Day

Amelia’s POV

It was the first day of school and even though I was not expecting to turn heads at school, I at least hoped that my first day would go well.

After yesterday’s incident with Zane I couldn’t sleep the entire night. Each and every second he was on my mind. I was constantly wondering why he stood up for me? Why did he get angry when someone else touched me without consent? 

I really wish to have my best friend back, yesterday’s incident made me realize one thing that I still have some unresolved feelings for Zane. I mean who wouldn’t have feelings for him, he is the epitome of perfection. At least for me.

I got ready for the school when my brother Archer knocked on the door and asked, “ Are you ready, Amelia?”

“Yes, I am coming,” I replied as I grabbed my bag pack and left for school with my brother.

School was going well until Mila and Lucy approached me with an evil glint in their eyes. I knew that they meant nothing but trouble so I tried my best to ignore them. They are like the mean girls of our school and Zane is also dating Mila, even though they both sleep around with other people as well. Mila looked at me like I was a piece of trash. She has always hated me, and I didnt even know it beofre. But, now I do.

Before they could approach me I got up and went to the cafeteria looking for my best friend, Tessa Hawthorne. She is my only friend in the entire school, we have been friends for over a decade now and she didn’t leave me stranded like other people when I needed her.

“ Hi, Tess,” I greeted her as I hugged her from behind. She smiled widely at me and we hugged again.

“Why are you wearing the hoodie inside school?” I asked her with a confusing laugh.

She took a contemplating breath before answering, “Because I don’t want anyone to notice me, especially Ronan. You know how they are right?” she said with a look of horror on her face. I hate seeing her like this. She is terrified of that vile person. Ronan Pierce, is Zane’s best friend and he torments my best friend for his own sick kick. He is a complete psychopath and most of the students stay away from him in the school.

“Ugh, don’t remind me of that psycho. I swear he is the first person I am going to kill to crack up my wolf side,” I promised her in all seriousness but she laughed it off as if I were joking.

“You know what I think? I think that he is not that bad, he is just misunderstood,” she said and I looked at her doubtfully.

“What has gotten into you? You are siding with a guy who pushed you in a pool in front of the entire school, when we went partying last time?” I asked her ridiculously. Because that is what the crack head Ronan did, he pushed Tess in the pool and her dress went see through due to the pool water and everyone made fun of her. Later he rejoiced over my best friend’s humiliation. Fucking prick!

She looked at me with a slightly humiliated blush on her face as she recalled the past event, so to save her any embarrassment I asked her, “Would you like to attend tonight’s party? Someone invited Archer so we both are going you can join us,” I invited her warmly.

“Sure, just stay by my side the entire time, okay?” she asked as if that was a question. Of course I would be with her the entire time.

“By the way, I will have to borrow a dress from you, since I don’t have any that I could wear to the party,” I told her and she promised to give me one after school.

“Aww, look at these poor sluts, Lucy. They don’t even own a dress for the party,” Mila commented from the table beside ours all of a sudden. God! Don’t they have any manners?

“We might not have a party dress but we have much better manners, to know that one should not eavesdrop,” I retorted back and then added, “Your daddy’s money can buy you a dress, but he cannot buy you some decent manners,” I said and then smirked because I was so done sitting in the back and letting them humiliate me.

“How dare you?! You fucking bitch!” she fumed at me angrily and attempted to lunge at me.

But Tessa stood between and held her hand before she could land and said, “Look, Mila, we don’t want to deal with you. You are welcome to leave us alone, after all you are doing is proving Amelia right by behaving like a crabby child.”

Ouch!

Even though Tessa said it in a calm voice, her words were enough to make grown men cry and I wanted to laugh out loud at the face Mila made after hearing those words. She looked like she was constipated.

But our victory didn’t last as Zane and Ronan entered the cafeteria with the rest of their friends. Zane looked absolutely dashing in his black leather jacket and white t-shirt. I forgot for a moment that he is here for his girlfriend.

He walked towards us with an aloof expression on his face as Mila jumped on him and buried her face in his chest, in front of everyone as she told him about the argument between us.

Zane stood face to face with me after pushing Mila aside as he uttered a single word, “Apologize!” he ordered and I glared at him with contempt. All his hotness went out the window. Who does he think he is?

I straightened my back pridefully as I replied, “I will NOT!” His eyes flared with anger as he heard my defiance.

He grabbed my by my arm as he pulled me closer to him, our face nearly inches apart as he repeated, “I said apologize to her and I will let you go,”

“Or else what? Will you kill me? Just like you killed your ex-girlfriend?” I voiced before I could stop myself and immediately I wanted to slap myself for saying that because everyone stared at us with wide eyes and I heard multiple gasps as well.

Fuck! Did I just bade the beast?

Zane’s eyes turned to an impossibly dark color as he grabbed my neck forcefully and put extreme pressure to choke it.

I realized nobody except for me knew about his ex-girlfriend and now I have invited the devil to kill me openly and he surely is going to.
