Chapter Four- First meeting

I scowl, walking out of the coffee shop; I stopped to take a moment to examine my surroundings. It looked like any regular street in any Major city in the USA. I look to the right hoping Luciano was in walking distance, relieved to find it right next door. Fist clenched and anger boiling, I prepared myself for the first contact with the enemy. Noah is the rich, perfect guy and Nigeria's worse nightmare. Well, that was until I took over this body; now I will pay back everything he has done to her two folds.

While I had no idea what the plot was beyond the first couple chapters, I know that the result was falling in love with Noah as long as I possessed this body that would never happen. Instead, I was planning an all-out assault; this book was no longer a romance novel. No, I would be plotting sweet revenge. Hopefully, kiss and few boys, this never been kiss virgin thing waiting for Noah to acknowledge her wasn’t doing it for me.

I straighten my shirt, brush the flyaway hair back into my bun, and reapplied my lipgloss. Note to self, buy makeup; I, a 21st-century beauty, could not live on lipgloss alone. I do not know why my book counterpart did not dress to impress and show that pompous punk her true beauty, but since I am here, I feel the need to show him that I am no ugly duckling. 

"Let's do this," I tell myself as I walk the short distance to Luciano. Pushing the door open, I hear the chime of the bell.

I scan the place; there were more than one group of teenagers, so I didn’t know which particular group the asshole belonged to, but I’m sure he would make himself known once he saw me. I walk up to the cashier order two slices of pizza and a tall sprite with a slice of chocolate cake. I was starving, having not eaten since dinner yesterday.

I grab the tray of food and make my way to an empty booth. Sat and dug into my pizza. I’m on my second slide when I hear a voice that gives me unwanted butterflies in my stomach.

"Hey, piggy!"From the way this body is reacting with the quicken heartbeat and goosebumps, this is Noah. I roll my eyes in disgust at book Nygeria; how can she be attracted to this asshole? So now I have to suffer while this body reacts to him.

"Nylon, don’t you hear me calling you?"My eyes shot up at him, anger flooding through my veins. Is he really calling me Nylon? Oh, he calls her everything but her name. My feelings are nothing but rage and disgust, but I can feel this body’s attraction to him coursing through me like a deadly disease. She loves him; that much is clear. But why did she leave her feelings with me? She should have taken her feelings with her when he disappeared. I scowl as I tried to focus on my pizza. Knowing he got angrier each second, I ignored him.

"Piggy," he calls again.

"Oink, oink!"

"Will you shut the fuck up!" I finally scream. "What is with you lot and you incessant talking? First, there was Stephanie, now you."

"What did you say?"I look up at him as he glares.

"I cursed; who are you? I’m trying to have lunch, and I only have…."I check my watch.

"17 minutes left."Rage fills his face as he glares at me.

"Is this a new coping method, pretending you don’t know me?" I can hear the disdain dripping in his voice.

"Why would I need to cope? Are you abusing me?"l question as shock registers on his face. I turn to ignore him; I take another bite of my pizza before I feel it being ripped from my hands.

"You’ve had enough food, pig." I’m pissed off; not only was I hunger but I can feel everything book Nygeria usually feels in moments like this. Anger, afraid, helpless but love. She loves this idiot. I stand up, annoyed with my new body again. I grab the pizza back, stuffing the entire thing in my mouth. He stares at me, mouth open. I chew slowly before swallowing, then take a long swig of my sprite.

"Ahh, that was good."

"Stuffing your face like the ugly pig you are."

"Ugly? You're calling me ugly?" I break out into fits of laughter. He stares at me as if he’s looking at an alien.

"Yes, fat and ugly and disgusting."My laughter stops as I look at him, dark brown hair, piercing brown eyes, pouty lips, and cheekbones that could cut steel. I can see why book Nygeria is attracted to him; I would have been too if he wasn’t a piece of shit.

"If I’m so fat bad ugly, why do you spend all your time thinking about me? Why do you imagine me in your arms, my lips on yours?" Surprise flashes across his face for a second before a cold glare replaces it.

"Who thinks about you? You’re just hard to ignore taking up so much space and wearing that mug you call a face everywhere you go."

"Try harder." I fold my arms and smile at him.

"What?" I groan at my quickened pulse from my smile, ignoring the stupid heart pounding in my chest. I replied.

"Try harder to ignore me or admit you want to f**k me."He stares at me in disbelief as I sip my drink. He grabs it from my hands, then grabs my shirt, pulling me an inch from his face.

"Who wants to f**k a fat slut?"My lips curl into a twisted smile.

"You do."

"You wish." He growls giving me death before he pushes me away, releasing my shirt. He walks off back to his table of friends whose eyes have been fixed on us since he announced his presence at my table.

I smile at him as he looks back, confused. I mentally give him the finger, sit back in my chair. I grabbed my fork and dug into my chocolate cake, savoring the sweet taste and small victory against Noah. While I had planned on giving a piece of my mind today, I realize I need to be more patient. After all, I’m in a new world with no friends and a whole lot of enemies. I would have to be more strategic if I wanted to be successful.

I finish the rest of my lunch, happy to find out Noah has already left. After heading back to work, the rest of my shift passes quickly as well. Off work, I grabbed my keys and purse and googled the nearest mall. While I had won the first battle with Noah, the war was far from over. Make-up and new clothes would be useful in all the battles to come.
