"Gosh, have you seen him? He's got the looks, those hazel eyes. Can you imagine, he smiled at me today in the hallway!"

I heard another girl squeal like an animal. And I knew she was talking about Dylan. Everyone is talking about his good boy looks and it's annoying me. There's absolutely nothing good about him.

"You seem lost in your thoughts."

Mensia said standing behind me in the queue.

"Not really. How are you?".

I replied with a smile.

"I'm good. Can I join you for breakfast?"

She asked.

"Ofcourse. I was going to eat alone anyways since Carol and Gail are busy with an assignment or something like that."

I said taking my tray of food while Mensia followed me to our table. We settled down.

"That your favourite meal?"

I asked motioning at her macaroni cheese.

"Not really. But it isn't bad."

Mensia replied as we both started eating. Dylan and Austin walked into the cafeteria and all the attention was on them.

"If only Dylan had that bad boy look, then maybe he can be compared to Austin."

One girl at the table across ours said.

"But you can't deny Dylan's still good looking. He's no comparison to the bad boy though."

Another one added. Didn't this people have anything better to talk about then talk about the two? I saw Ashley walking to my table and I hoped she wasn't going to cause a scandal. I was in no mood for her.

"Bitch, I've heard you begged Mrs Finn so you tutor Austin. Not good."

I chose to ignore her. I really don't want to deal with her bitchy talk right now.

"I'm talking to you dammit. Why the heck are you chasing my guy around when he's not into you?"

She shouted again slamming her fist onto our table.

"Don't be such an asshole right now and get on my nerves because I'm not in my best moods."

I said calmly. I didn't even spare her a glance because I might just want to smash that makeup off her face. I don't even know why I'm so angry. Who am I fooling? Seeing Dylan a while ago just brought back the hatred I have for him and right now I feel like venting out my anger on someone.

"I've watched you for too long Alice. You've gotten way too close to my bad boy."

She said grabbing my wrist tightly that i felt my wrist sting as her nails dug into my skin. Without thinking, I slapped her hard with the back of my hand and I'm sure it hurt because she let go of my wrist to rub where I had hit her.

People were staring now. Some whistling and some shouting things I couldn't catch up.

"Why do you always act this bitchy? What are you so scared of? If you're so sure he belongs to you then what do you still keep blabbering about?"

I asked looking at her with distaste.

"Are you scared that one day your bad boy will choose me over you? Or maybe he has already fallen for me. Who knows?"

I said with a smirk as her face grew red from anger. I picked up my plate and threw the food in her face. The whole cafeteria burst out laughing. She looked miserable with the soup dripping on her face and if I was in a good mood, I would've laughed at her.

"You ruined my breakfast so I thought, 'why not put the food to some good use'?"

I winked at her before walking out of the cafeteria. I sighed as soon as I stepped out. Some people never learn do they? Acting strong when they know they are not. I shook my head at the thought as I made my way to the bathrooms. I don't know what got into me but my mom's picture came in mind. I hope she's alright. I really hope she is.

"I'm impressed."

A voice said from behind me and I didn't have to look to know who it was. I knew that voice too well. Dylan came in front of me blocking my way to go to the bathroom.

"What do you want?"

I asked rudely.

"My girl has changed pretty much I must say. I like the attitude."

He said moving closer to me.

"Yes I have changed. I'm no longer the fool you knew me to be. So you should know better, not to mess with me."

I said staring him straight in the eyes. He didn't seem moved by my words since he just moved closer and closer.

"Ou really sweet cheeks? Well I'm still the same guy you knew back then you know. The same Dylan whom you fell for in a matter of seconds."

He said placing a hand around my waist which I tried so hard to push away but to no avail. He's such a jerk if he thinks I'm still the stupid girl I was back then. He hadn't changed but I surely did.

He let go of my waist and got hold of my wrist instead. I tried to free my hand but he wouldn't budge. I tried again but he just watched me with a smile.

"To me. You are still the same girl. My very own Alice and that's what you'll always be. Or do I have to remind you of that nickname that you loved so much. Sweet cheeks."

He smirked.

"You're mistaken. You killed that good innocent girl inside of me Dylan. She no longer exists and it's all because of you. And just so you know, I dispise you. Very much."

I said distastefully and he let me go. He just kept staring at me with a smile. This guy is impossible.

"And you think I believe you. Even you know that that, is not true. We have a past together. A very good and memorable one actually. And that will always keep us together. Even if you say you hate me, our past will clearly be there to make you keep loving me."

He said and I didn't even know what to say. He was too full of himself and I just didn't know what to tell him.

"Am I interrupting?"

Someone asked from behind me and I turned to face Austin. There he was, staring at me and at Dylan. I glared at Dylan who was smirking and motioning me to answer Austin. By the look on Austin's face, he surely heard what we talked about. Just what I needed.
