Please don't.

Please don't.

Please don't.

And he did.

He just had to be cliche and sit on that seat right beside mine.

Dumb douche.

"So you school here?" He asked once he was finally seated.

Seriously? We've had mutual classes for like what? 5 years?

"No, I'm from outer space and just magically appeared here to spy on you" I said in a hushed tone, trying not to gain unnecessary attention as I turned to face him and saw a confused expression on his face which quickly turned to a grin after my statement.

"Still got that attitude I see" he spoke up in a tone, little bit louder than what I expected but luckily not enough to gain stares.

The minutes after that was smooth till he started calling out to me.

"Hey"

Silence.

"Hey"

Silence.

I snubbed him throughout all his hushed calls and was doing good at it till he decided to take it up a notch by using a pencil to poke me hard on my side.

He did that about 15 agonizing times, yes I was counting, before I had enough.

"What....?!" I hissed out as quiet as I can and turned to a triumphant smile on his face.

"Got extra? Mine is drained" he had a pen raised up for me to see.

I rolled my eyes but still passed him a spare pen of mine, not out of generosity, mainly just so I can have him off my back.

I gave all my attention to Mrs Williams, I tried to at least but with Alan sitting beside me it was basically impossible. Not because I couldn't help but fan girl over the fact that the most popular guy in my year is sitting right beside me of all people but because he started poking me again.

"What?!" I slapped my palms hard on the desk as I glared daggers at him, making heads turn in my direction.

"Miss Hills, would you mind?" Mrs Williams called out to me.

Deep breaths Raven, deep breaths.

Don't let this asshole get to you cos that's exactly what he's trying to do.

"Sorry" I muttered, still glaring at a smiling Alan before I closed my eyes and faced forward as I counted to ten.

"Someone's cranky" he teased after I relaxed a bit.

"And someone needs to shut up" I snapped back.

"Gee, who pissed on your hush puppies?"

"Who enrolled you in a school instead of a mental institution?"

"Oh this is a school?" He acted surprised, like he just found that out.

"Wow, you're even dumber than you look" I replied with a fake surprise of mine.

"I could say the same about you and considering I'm sitting beside a crazy person, I got a little confused" he smirked with an evil glint in his eye as we held our stares.

"Oh sorry, was I supposed to be offended?" I replied smartly with a smirk of my own, mentally accepting his challenge.

"Why would you pick offense when I'm simply complimenting you?"

"Then I'll assume you'll take being called dip shit as a compliment?" I smiled sweetly at him while he mirrored my smile, obviously enjoying our back and forths.

"Tsk tsk. You should really be glad a guy made an effort to even look at you for more than a second speak more of flattering you"

If other comments didn't rile me up, that sure did it.

"Spoiler alert, I have an ex. No wait, exes"

"Well, I see why they all dumped your sorry ass" he eyed me up, his face contorting as if I'm a piece of trash.

I felt like I've been sucker punched in the gut with that statement. It actually hurt me more than it supposed to as I felt memories flash before my eyes.

I don't know why that hurt me but it's as if he knew that's why he had to rub it in my face all over again.

I quickly faced forward as I didn't want him to see a soft side in me but he already did.

"Hey, I didn't mean to..." He started, worry and..... regret? evident in his tone as he tried to reach out to touch my shoulder.

"Don't you dare touch me" I said maybe a bit loudly as the class went quiet after that.

"You're nothing but a total asshole. So what maybe they ditched me but that doesn't mean to be cheap and bring it up in a stupid banter, you dick" his face contorted to a confused one but that made me snort and continue my rant.

"Wow, I've certainly seen what you're good at Mr Scott and that has to be acting, you'll sure as hell make it big in Hollywood, you prick"

"ENOUGH MISS HILLS!" Mrs Williams snapped at him. "I won't condone such barbaric and uncultured behavior in my class".

I stood up sharply, my anger getting the best of me as I replied with an equally as loud voice. "What? Me? Really? I didn't do anything and you're putting it all on me"

"Don't you raise your voice on me young lady, now get out of my class this instant since you abandoned your disciplined behavior at home"

My eyes widened as I stared at her in disbelief. She's kidding right?

"This is a joke right?" I asked, still trying to believe this is all not true, like how can she pin it all on me when it was both Alan and I causing the distraction.

The look on her face told me she's far from joking as she took an intimidating stance with her hands on her hips. Considering I'm an inch or two taller than her, she sure as hell seemed like the bigger one with that scary look on her face.

"I ... I mean it's not only me on it, Alan started it" call me a snitch or a freaking 5 year old but I'll sure as hell not go down alone.

She wasn't buying it. At least her expression said so with that unwavering stern look on her face.

"He kept poking me on my side and I just couldn't take it and...."

"GET OUT NOW MISS HILLS!" Her voice made me flinch as she yelled.

She really was pinning it on only me.

I glared at a smirking Alan as he looked like he was enjoying the show.

Of course he would, I'm paying for his stupidity.

I couldn't even put my things together very well as the anger was having the best of me right now.

"And detention after school today" that was definitely the icing on the cake.

With one flip of my middle finger at Alan I left the room with a slam of the door.

He's definitely going to pay for that.

Xoxo Ruth.
