Chapter 21

I had been in the gym for about an hour now and let’s just say I’m sweating like I’d just ran a triathlon. I was still in my workout clothes though I had to change my WHITE shorts for my black ones because they were covered in blood. And I actually liked those shorts and now they were ruined, another reason to want to kill Whitney. Wow they just keep piling up now don’t they?
When i finally thought the punching bag had enough and my anger was gone I got my jacket from the floor and slung it over my shoulder and made my way to the kitchen.
Almost all the guys were there as I made my way to the refrigerator, getting a bottle of water and drinking almost all of it. I glanced back at the guys and saw them all staring. Then i realized i was glistening with sweat with nothing but shorts and a tank-top. I rolled my eyes. Wolves will be wolves.
“I see you’ve been in the gym” Dave said “for an hour” This update ıs available on.net
I smirked at him “Well it’s kind of hard to stop punching the dang thing when I keep imagining Whitney’s face on it” that made them laugh “Now at least I can not kill her. Although I still don’t see why you guys insisted on that”
You know the phrase ’Speak of the devil’? well I think it was made for Whitney cause seconds later she came in the kitchen. jason immediately threw me a warning look and I could tell everyone was watching my every move.
She shoved past me to get to the refrigerator Deep breaths Lily. Out with all the anger I told myself.
Whitney pulled back and stopped in front of me. She looked at my ’injury’ and back at me with a smirk.
oh screw it! Heloooo anger! I thought as I suddenly punched Whitney in the stomach so hard she hit the kitchen door.
“Lily, we had a deal” I heard Xavier say but when i turned to him I saw amusement in his eyes, that he was trying to hide. “Besides I thought working out helped?”
“guess it didn’t” I smirked “Besides I said I wouldn’t kill her. That” I pointed to Whitney who was on the floor clutching her stomach “Won’t kill her but it’ll hurt like a bitch”
The guys cracked up laughing. I went and sat next to Xavier who draped his arm around me.
“By the way I’m not going directly here after school okay?” I told him “Going job hunting”
Xavier rolled his eyes “How many times have I told you that you don’t need to get a job Lily” Xavier said.
“I want to” I said “Let’s not start this argument again” He nodded reluctantly. Xavier always tried to convince me that I didn’t have to work, but I wanted to be able to support myself, I never wanted to be a burden.
I went up to my room, took a shower and got ready to bed when I heard a knock on my door.
“come in” I said but the door didn’t open. I opened the door but no one was there, but in my peripheral vision I saw someone just around the corner of the hallway peeping at me. I looked at the floor and noticed a flower bouquet.
I picked up the lilies and suppressed a smile. I got out the card I saw and opened it
I remembered these were your favorites. Thought you’d like them
Ethan.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I didn’t expect Ethan to know what my favorite flowers were, hell I didn’t expect him to know anything. The gesture was sweet but…still.
Suddenly I had an idea. I took the flowers and went in my room, closing the door behind me. I sprayed some of my perfume on them and brought my lighter
I lit each lily and opened the door again, seeing the figure around the corner, which I was now sure was Ethan. I looked at the burning flowers and threw them on the floor, got back to my room, and closed my door.
I definitely heard the sound of Ethan stepping on the flowers to turn off the fire and laughed silently, did he really expect me to be so easy? I laid in bed for a while before falling asleep.
The next day school was as boring as ever I spent most of it with my boys. It wasn’t until I went to the bathroom during history that something caught my eye
“Well well well what do we have here?” I heard a guy’s voice say. I peaked around the corner to see two guys walking menacingly near a small frightened looking brunettewearing a hoody. “How’ve you been geek?”
“Excuse me” she mumbled trying to push past them
“Where do you think your going troll?” one guy said, I felt anger rising in me. Too many memories were rushing to me, bastards. I turned the corner but they didn’t notice me I leaned against a locker and put my foot up against it.
“Looking scared ugly” One guy told her. Okay time to show myself.
“Hello boys” I said calmly making both guys turn to me. They were obviously both jocks, they were wearing the school jersey.
“Hey there sexy” one of them said walking towards me “how you doing?” I fought the urge to roll my eyes.
“you know what they say about guys who pick on innocent people” I said ignoring him
“And what is that?” he asked eyeing my body. I looked at the girl who was standing away from them looking at the situation.
“That they’re so insecure of their manhood that they use bullying as a way to…uh” I glanced at his crotch and smirked “compensate”
