All Chapters of Poison Magic: Fantasy Collection: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

All morning long, Knox had been pouty. I couldn't say it wasn't adorable, but I still didn't know what was going on! He sat next to me in every class and grumbled every time someone came up to talk to me... And he completely refused to let me talk to any boys!This really wasn't helping me get over this guy. Normally, he's not this grumpy... Or clingy! He's smooth and flirty. Right now he's moody and brooding. His beautiful lightning blue eyes seem to look right through me. They haven't left my face all morning. I don't know what he's thinking, only that he can't seem to leave me alone for one minute.I want to ask him what's going on, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough. He's acting like a jealous boyfriend, but he can't be. He isn't the type of guy to have a girlfriend. He just has flings. Is it because of the twins last night? Was he upset they took me home?Knox knows damn well I'm not a fling, and he'd better not think I'm having a fling with the twins or I will never talk to him a

He stops chewing and his eyes go obsidian again. His bird is watching me. It's the strangest feeling, like he's trying to provide for me, even though I'm not his."Thanks," I give him a small smile before taking a bite.Knox sighs in relief before he goes back to devouring his own sandwich. He hums in contentment, and I can't believe how cute it is. He looks so much like a little boy, carefree and happy.We are suddenly surrounded by our friends, joining us for lunch.The guys give Knox a look I don't understand. Especially Trey! It's like they all speak with their minds and I know for sure that is not a gift any of them have... so what was going on?Knox just ignores them and shoves another bite into his mouth.The girls start talking about my mission I'm supposed to be getting ready for."Are you almost ready to go, Dia? How long do you think you need to prepare for your mission?" Calliope asks.I'm glad for the distraction."I think I should be ready to leave by tomorrow morning. I

"How else am I supposed to see you? I've seen the girls you bring home. Phoebe tells me about everything. You will never be satisfied with a girlfriend. You need variety, I suppose. And when you get bored of one, you move on to the next, not even caring how the girl feels," I huff, trying not to look at him.What am I supposed to do with him? I've never seen him like this before. He looks completely wrecked. His beautiful lightning blue eyes flash to obsidian and are full of sorrow. Why is Storm so upset?"Don't you think I can change?" Knox finally asks."I really don't know. And I don't know why all of a sudden you've decided to change. Its none of my business. If you change, that's great. You can find a real girlfriend who can love you, and possibly forgive you for all the time you've wasted on all the other chicks... That would be really good for you. And I hope you do, I just don't know if you will," I finally say in defeat.I know for a fact it won't be me who ends up with him..

I get a few blocks away from the school before I slow down. Running in the rain isn't exactly fun. It's not a cold rain. It's still warm and technically summer. But it doesn't change the fact that my clothes are now see-through. I find this much more important to think about than what I just left behind.What the hell possessed Knox to start a thunderstorm in the middle of a nice day? He's been moody all day long, but did he really have to drench me? I thought he was too busy to be angry. And I don't know why he's taking it out on me!The air is crackling with electricity and it's all because of his mood. I can feel it. He's angry. Why is he throwing a tantrum when he's got Bianca in his arms right now? Shouldn't he be happy right now? Or at least satisfied... I never know if the guy is happy when he's screwing the girls or if it's all superficial.I don't want to think of the two of them together. It makes me sick. I could never do that. I wouldn't sleep with someone just for pleasur

"Doesn't matter. That's what happened. I was shocked to see him feeding you at lunch. I saw Bianca spill her lunch on you. I saw him defending you against her, and Callie pulling you away. But I also saw how angry Knox was with Bianca. I swear he wanted to fry her where she stood. He told her he never wanted to see her again and if she ever laid a finger on you again nothing was going to stop him from punishing her. I saw how miserable he was all day long and you basically blew him off..." Trey went on.Every word coming out of his mouth fills me with guilt. Is that really what happened today? I was so wrapped up in my own emotions I couldn't deal with his. I never asked him why he looked like he was going through hell. I was scared of the answer."I saw you bolt right for the twins the minute the bell rang, so he couldn't explain what was going on. I saw the twins teasing him, and while I gotta admit, it was kinda funny, they knew exactly what they were doing and it was setting the p
