EPISODE 33

Catherine's POV:

I dropped my plate on the table and sat down. My encounter with Ace has spoiled my mood and I'm pissed off with myself.

Why do I always remain mute whenever he is bullying me? Why can't I talk back to him the same way I do for Anitra?

Could it be because of my stupid feelings?

I hate this.

I want to stop feeling this way so badly.

I want to hate him but the more I try, the more I get attracted to him.

What is fucking wrong with me?

Someone dropped their food on the table beside mine and I looked up.

"Kisa." I whispered.

She looked at me and smiled.

"It has been a long time, Catherine." She said,

What is she doing here? Why can't I just eat my lunch in peace? Why do I have to worry about the school's Queen Bee? why?

Several questions went through my head but I had no legitimate answer for it.

I hate this shit.

"Hi Kisa." I greeted too.

Every student's eyes were on us.

I know what must be going through their heads. They might be wondering why Kisa, who obviously doesn't like me, would choose to sit with me during lunchtime.

She dug into her plate of spaghetti with her fork and brought the fork up to her mouth and ate the spaghetti.

I was surprised and nervous, I didn't know what to do or what to say. I just sat there looking at her.

"Why are you not eating? Don't mind me and eat your food. " She told me.

I don't believe that she would willingly come to me and sit down with me without having something to say.

Why do I feel like whatever it is won't be good at all?

I hate my weak self a lot.

"What do you want?" I asked her calmly.

She dropped her fork and glanced around the hall.

"Nothing much, I just want to know what your relationship is with Ace, I don't understand what is going on between the both of you." She said,

Why does everybody keep asking me the same questions over and over again? I don't know what they want me to say but I'll keep answering the same answer, I'll keep giving them the same answer.

"I don't have anything to do with Ace, I don't know him pro my coming here so I don't know what you want to hear from me, I know nothing." I retorted.

The questions were getting too much and it has become irritating. I don't like it when people pester me over something that I keep on giving the same answers to.

She raised her eyebrows at me and supported her cheek with her hand.

"There is something strange about you, I don't know what it is but I'm definitely going to find out, I'm going to know what it is that is going on between you and Ace, I must find out and when I do, you will regret ever lying to me, witch." She said, I quickly got up from the chair and pushed my chair back.

"Good luck to you." I said and carried my tray of food then walked away.

I carried my food to and walked out of the hall.

I went to the back of the school and sat down on the bench there.

I brought out my phone and saw a message from Anitra.

'Saw you and Ace, are you okay?'

What does he mean by 'are you okay'? What sort of stupid nonsensical question is that?

I hate all this.

I just want to live a normal life.

I want to go to school, graduate and find a job, get married and have children.

That's literally everything I've ever wanted but it suddenly seems as if my life was taking another huge direction.

I put the phone back inside my Blazer's pocket and started eating my food.

****

I carried my backpack and walked out of the classroom.

It was late in the evening when my practical exam ended.

Not a lot of people were in school. I was the last to leave the class.

I went downstairs to get a physics textbook from the library when I saw Anitra arguing with Kisa.

I hid myself behind a bookshelf while trying to listen to their conversation.

"What were you saying to her?" Anitra asked her, his hand wrapped around her wrist tightly.

Kisa swung her hand and stepped back from him.

"I can do what the hell I want, talk to whomever I want and you have no right to question me." Kisa blurted out.

What could they be arguing about?

Anitra looked calm but Kisa looked like she was ready to kill him.

"What are you planning?" Anitra asked her.

Her voice suddenly became small, I couldn't hear what she said to him.

I sighed softly and turned around to leave but my head came in contact with a hard chest.

"Ouch." I cried out, I looked up at the person I ran into and it was one other than Liam Wesley.

Gosh.

"Sorry." I whispered and tried to walk past him but he blocked my way.

"Were you eavesdropping on those two?" He asked me.

I shook my head and glanced back but they already left.

Liam smirked proudly. I know that smirk.

That mischievous smirk.

What does he want to do?

Liam grabbed my hand and started dragging me out of the library.

"Where are you taking me to?" I asked in alarm.

There was nobody in school, I could get hurt. Get raped or get beaten up.

I've heard a lot of stories about school violence to take it lightly.

Even though Ace has never raised his hand on me, that doesn't mean others won't.

Liam turned around and pushed a strand of hair away from my face. "You will see." He whispered.

Is he flirting with me?

He dragged me down the hallway and towards a corner that I've never visited before.

My eyes widened.

A huge swimming pool was here but I had no idea.

"Ace, look who I found out there." Liam said and my eyes widened.

Wait, what did I expect?

Of course he was here with Ace.

Ace was swimming.

He swam towards where Liam and I were standing and raised his head out of the water.

He removed his eyeglasses and wiped his face with a clean towel.

Water was dripping down his body.

He looked sexy as fuck.

Oh my goodness. I am really hopeless.

He climbed out of the swimming pool and looked at me.

"Meeting you twice today was something I never expected." He said and took my hand from Liam.

Goosebumps filled my body, my eyes darting from Liam to him.

I was scared.

As much as I have feelings for him, Ace shows traits of a psycho.

I don't trust him at all.

"What are you doing?" I whispered.

He smirked and nodded at Liam.

Liam sat down on the chair and place a book on his lap.

"While the both of you handle your business, I'll be here reading." He said and winked at me.

What is going on? What..... Before I could think more, Ace removed my backpack from my shoulder and pulled me into the water with him.

"Jesus!" I shouted, I was frightened. I wasn't expecting what he did.

I raised my head out of the water and wiped my face.

"What is wrong with you!" I shouted at him. He searched my eyes for a while and shrugged. He pulled me towards him and slammed his lips on mine.

He....... He was kissing me.

Truly kissing me.

I didn't know when I closed my eyes and wrapped my hands around his neck.

It was the heat of the moment.

He sucked on my bottom lips and tongue kissed me.

We were really kissing!

Sharing the same breath and saliva.

That's very much unexpected.

"So this was the reason." A voice said, I was startled, I pushed Ace away from me and turned to look at the speaker.

This is bad.

So freaking bad.
