Chapter 8

Rebecca looks from the Bugatti to me, smirking in amused disdain.

“You couldn’t get Draven,” She snarks, mockingly loud enough for everyone to hear, “so you seduced Adrian, wow you really are some piece of low class trash.”

God she's such a bitch.

I can’t believe I have to deal with her first thing today, after my already sucky morning.

I glance over at Draven but he just stands there, indifferent like a damn statue.

I know I said that we should pretend nothing ever happened but does he have to treat me like air when I’m right in front of him?

But then again what more should I expect from someone like him.

I saw that a crowd had started to gather, everyone talking about me jumping from brother to brother.

I felt judged, without any way to defend myself from the torment about to ensue.

My head felt like it was going to explode from everything. I just wanted to get away from everyone as fast as possible.

This messed up relationship with these two brothers, has now become the bane of my existence.

I didn’t want to think about it anymore.

So, I endured the talking, quickly bypassing Draven and Rebecca, desperate to get to my first class and lose myself in today's lesson.

To get lost in studying and finally be able to think about something other than my mom being married or the two guys who seem to be hell bent on making me miserable.

Heading toward the school, I lowered my head trying to ignore the world.

When I heard Adrian’s voice behind me calling my name.

I tried to move quicker as he was the last voice I wanted to hear right now.

After taking another step I froze, I’d be so like him to chase after me, making a huge scene if I dared to ignore him.

I really didn’t want him to play one of his jokes on me again and make the situation a million times worse because that is exactly what would happen.

“Hi Adrian,” Rebecca greets warmly, her arm raised in greeting, trying and failing to pull Adrian’s attention.

But he just ignores her, passing her by without a glance, before walking up to me.

Rebecca lowered her hand, embarrassed, glaring at me more intensely now, when Adrian stopped in front of me.

“You dropped your phone in the car,” Adrian said, handing over my phone.

“Thanks,” I said, grabbing it, hoping to make a quick escape.

I turned to leave but Adrian grabbed my arm.

“Oh, you forgot one more thing,” he added.

There was something in his tone that set off alarm bells for me right away.

I turned around, uneasy, only for Adrian to pull me tightly against him.

Oh hell no, I pushed against him to try and break free immediately, but It’s no use, the next second his lips were on mine.

I really hate him, I swear to god I do.

His lips pressed against mine in an instant, kissing me with a passion that reminded me of that drunken night, no matter how much I try to forget it.

I was shocked, frozen in place, as stunned as everyone was, noises of surprise, and shock coming from the crowd.

A moment later Adrian was yanked away quickly by Draven.

“Stay away from her,” Draven whispered to Adrian, pushing him away.

“That’s the last thing I plan on doing,” Adrian smirks, licking his lips as if savoring my taste.

Draven quickly lunges for Adrian, enraged.

More and more people begin to gather as their fight heats up. I grew even more nervous when it seemed about to escalate, only for the class bell to ring.

A sound that in that moment I gladly welcomed.

“Quit messing around,” Draven said, roughly releasing Adrian.

His face looked angered and it matched the tone in his voice.

Adrian only sneered back as the crowd broke up, everyone hurrying to class.

I sighed in relief, rushing off to class myself, trying to avoid everyone that just saw the fight.

After class, the one thing I was trying to avoid happened.

Rebecca and her little click of followers cornered me with looks of disgust on their faces.

“Well if it isn’t the slutty bitch,” She said, mocking me.

“Do you enjoy trying to seduce two guys so clearly out of your league, there's no way in hell they’d ever screw you?”

I try to keep a straight face and not show weakness, to not engage with her juvenile antics.

This was just adding to more emotions piling up inside me that was waiting to explode.

“I didn’t seduce them,” I said, annoyed, trying to not to give them another reason to bully me more.

“I need to get to the library to review, so stop disturbing me with this pointless crap.”

Rebecca ignored me, even more determined to teach me a lesson.

Seriously, I thought I’d be done with all this high school bullying crap after I graduated. But life lately seems to have a way to make everything harder for me.

“Stef, drag her over here,” Rebecca ordered one of her little minions.

The sharp pain radiates throughout my head as I’m pulled by my hair, once again, to kneel in front of Rebecca, by her little minion.

“Grab that garbage over there,” Rebecca orders another of her little followers.

“We’re going to fill up this trash by feeding her some real garbage.”

“This time she will really know just how low class she is,” Rebecca continued, really pissed off.

It was almost like how pissed she was when I said I was dating Draven.

Hold on a second.

“That must have been a fluke and will never happen again,” Rebecca said, seeming so sure that her words would hurt me.

But they were only the tiniest of cuts I have received lately.

What surprised me more was that it seemed like Rebecca had a thing for Adrian too.

Was she projecting?

The thought alone is laughable at how ridiculous Rebecca is.

She says this bullcrap about me liking them both, when she seems like the one caring a torch for both brothers.

I might be on my knees right now, with my hair being pulled again, but to me Rebecca is the pathetic one.

Even funnier yet is I did sleep with them both.

Not that I’ll ever tell anyone but she said there was no chance in hell, god she was so wrong.

But regardless of all that I still had to focus on getting out of this witch's grasp right now.

I struggle against the hold they have on me but it was futile.

They outnumbered me four to one and they were stronger somehow.

No one was nearby to help me, I was all alone.

It felt just like that day when I was looking for Draven all over again, All I could do was wish it was all over already.

I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, from behind Rebecca, it was Adrian walking nearby.

Our eyes met but he just ignored me, turning away.

Both of these brothers know how to stab me right in the heart. It’s a sting that I feel I should start to get used to.

What the hell was that?
