Amelia’s POV
It was the first day of school and even though I was not expecting to turn heads at school, I at least hoped that my first day would go well.
After yesterday’s incident with Zane I couldn’t sleep the entire night. Each and every second he was on my mind. I was constantly wondering why he stood up for me? Why did he get angry when someone else touched me without consent?
I really wish to have my best friend back, yesterday’s incident made me realize one thing that I still have some unresolved feelings for Zane. I mean who wouldn’t have feelings for him, he is the epitome of perfection. At least for me.
I got ready for the school when my brother Archer knocked on the door and asked, “ Are you ready, Amelia?”
“Yes, I am coming,” I replied as I grabbed my bag pack and left for school with my brother.
School was going well until Mila and Lucy approached me with an evil glint in their eyes. I knew that they meant nothing but trouble so I tried my best to ignore them. They are like the mean girls of our school and Zane is also dating Mila, even though they both sleep around with other people as well. Mila looked at me like I was a piece of trash. She has always hated me, and I didnt even know it beofre. But, now I do.
Before they could approach me I got up and went to the cafeteria looking for my best friend, Tessa Hawthorne. She is my only friend in the entire school, we have been friends for over a decade now and she didn’t leave me stranded like other people when I needed her.
“ Hi, Tess,” I greeted her as I hugged her from behind. She smiled widely at me and we hugged again.
“Why are you wearing the hoodie inside school?” I asked her with a confusing laugh.
She took a contemplating breath before answering, “Because I don’t want anyone to notice me, especially Ronan. You know how they are right?” she said with a look of horror on her face. I hate seeing her like this. She is terrified of that vile person. Ronan Pierce, is Zane’s best friend and he torments my best friend for his own sick kick. He is a complete psychopath and most of the students stay away from him in the school.
“Ugh, don’t remind me of that psycho. I swear he is the first person I am going to kill to crack up my wolf side,” I promised her in all seriousness but she laughed it off as if I were joking.
“You know what I think? I think that he is not that bad, he is just misunderstood,” she said and I looked at her doubtfully.
“What has gotten into you? You are siding with a guy who pushed you in a pool in front of the entire school, when we went partying last time?” I asked her ridiculously. Because that is what the crack head Ronan did, he pushed Tess in the pool and her dress went see through due to the pool water and everyone made fun of her. Later he rejoiced over my best friend’s humiliation. Fucking prick!
She looked at me with a slightly humiliated blush on her face as she recalled the past event, so to save her any embarrassment I asked her, “Would you like to attend tonight’s party? Someone invited Archer so we both are going you can join us,” I invited her warmly.
“Sure, just stay by my side the entire time, okay?” she asked as if that was a question. Of course I would be with her the entire time.
“By the way, I will have to borrow a dress from you, since I don’t have any that I could wear to the party,” I told her and she promised to give me one after school.
“Aww, look at these poor sluts, Lucy. They don’t even own a dress for the party,” Mila commented from the table beside ours all of a sudden. God! Don’t they have any manners?
“We might not have a party dress but we have much better manners, to know that one should not eavesdrop,” I retorted back and then added, “Your daddy’s money can buy you a dress, but he cannot buy you some decent manners,” I said and then smirked because I was so done sitting in the back and letting them humiliate me.
“How dare you?! You fucking bitch!” she fumed at me angrily and attempted to lunge at me.
But Tessa stood between and held her hand before she could land and said, “Look, Mila, we don’t want to deal with you. You are welcome to leave us alone, after all you are doing is proving Amelia right by behaving like a crabby child.”
Ouch!
Even though Tessa said it in a calm voice, her words were enough to make grown men cry and I wanted to laugh out loud at the face Mila made after hearing those words. She looked like she was constipated.
But our victory didn’t last as Zane and Ronan entered the cafeteria with the rest of their friends. Zane looked absolutely dashing in his black leather jacket and white t-shirt. I forgot for a moment that he is here for his girlfriend.
He walked towards us with an aloof expression on his face as Mila jumped on him and buried her face in his chest, in front of everyone as she told him about the argument between us.
Zane stood face to face with me after pushing Mila aside as he uttered a single word, “Apologize!” he ordered and I glared at him with contempt. All his hotness went out the window. Who does he think he is?
I straightened my back pridefully as I replied, “I will NOT!” His eyes flared with anger as he heard my defiance.
He grabbed my by my arm as he pulled me closer to him, our face nearly inches apart as he repeated, “I said apologize to her and I will let you go,”
“Or else what? Will you kill me? Just like you killed your ex-girlfriend?” I voiced before I could stop myself and immediately I wanted to slap myself for saying that because everyone stared at us with wide eyes and I heard multiple gasps as well.
Fuck! Did I just bade the beast?
Zane’s eyes turned to an impossibly dark color as he grabbed my neck forcefully and put extreme pressure to choke it.
I realized nobody except for me knew about his ex-girlfriend and now I have invited the devil to kill me openly and he surely is going to.
Zane’s POV What is this stupid girl trying to do? How dare she bring up my ex-girlfriend Katherine like that? I am the only person who knows the real reason for her death and here is this stupid girl accusing me of shit. Her idea is not bad actually. I should really kill her too because she is a pain in my ass. She has been for over 10 years now. I have tried my best to maintain a distance from her but she always comes around. She is literally a beauty with no brains. Even yesterday she let that old hag harass her. And instead of taking a stand for herself she fought with me and slapped me! There is literally no reason I should not kill her. Except for one. A voice in my head noted. I still remember the day I first saw her, I was around 10 years old and she was probably 8. But even then she was a burst of absolute sunshine. Gliding down the stairs gracefully, just like a sunrise on top of a vast ocean. Amelia Ford, that name was a form of worship for me but now it leaves noth
Amelia’s POV I thought I would utilize my suspension as an advantage to work at Joy’s and earn more income for the week. But the moment I saw Zane and his entire group of friends enter through the door, my enthusiasm was lost. I knew he would create some trouble for me for sure, so I ran in the kitchen to hello with the meal prep instead of taking orders. Some minutes passed and my co-worker came searching for me as she said, “Hey girlie, can you take the new orders? I am taking a breather for 10 minutes since I am very tired.” Ugh! How can I say no to her when she is asking me so nicely. Nodding slightly with my head down I went to take the orders. Thankfully, I didn’t have to take Zane's order first; there were 2 tables before theirs. Just as I started to note the order of the lady in front of me, I heard someone call. “Waiter! Could you take our order first?” Mila shouted in her annoyingly high pitched voice. I immediately knew that Mila was just doing this to make me feel
Zane's POVWho the hell does she think she is? And who the fuck is this chummy guy who came here to rescue her?Are they together? Why did they look so cozy together?Thousands of questions ran through my head as I tried to get over the fact that she is trying to get close to other guys.I gritted my teeth as I glared at the guy who went behind Amelia as soon as he finished cleaning the spilled drink.I admit, these people were treating her poorly but why did the guy intrude? Does he know her well? Are they friends? Are they dating? God! I am losing my mind thinking about him.* * * * * * * * * Three days went by on a whim, I hate to admit it but I missed seeing Amelia, I missed how we bickered even though we were despising each other. I admit it is fun to drive her mad.Today, she will finally come to the school as her suspension will be over.“Oh look who graced us with her presence today?” I drawled when she walked inside the classroom.“I don’t have time for your shit, Zane. You
Amelia's POV I received a call from Garret asking me to come to work early today, hearing his voice I realized something was not well.So, as soon as I finished school I went to work, and I was shocked to see him.“Oh my God! What happened to your face?” I exclaimed as I walked inside. His nose was puffy and his lip had a deep cut.“Well, apparently we had a date together and I’m supposed to cancel it according to your boyfriend's orders,” he replied dryly as I inspected his wounds.“Wait what?” I asked him confused and worried at the same time.“Yeah even I am confused as fuck! This Zane guy, he came up here and punched me without any reason. And he was asking me to stay away from you!” Garret cried out loudly and my over sensitive ears were pained by the voice. But what shocked me the most was the fact that Zane came here to threaten him.He looked at my baffled expression and added, “I wonder what is wrong with him? Is he mentally ill or something because looked like a lunatic wh
Amelia's POV I could feel Zane’s eyes on me as I tried to focus on what our teacher was explaining. Ever since our interaction in the changing room, I could feel something has changed between us. Zane no longer looks at me like I am a disgusting piece of trash. In fact, I have noticed him looking at me several times, with interest. I don’t know what is happening between us, but not being hated by Zane is getting quite addictive to me. I turned my head slightly and glanced back and I caught him looking at me again. But this time I didn’t look away. I stared right at him as our eyes battled, and it was like a loving war between us. I could feel him challenging me to look away, but I didn’t. However, when the teacher started to explain to us about the importance of politics I had to look away and focus on the lecture. “Guys, you have an assignment to complete for your internal assessments. So we will make two groups here,” as soon as Mrs. Gomez, our teacher, said that; the Blood Shi
Amelia’s POVI looked at him with a lost look o n my face. After a beat he asked me, “Amelia?”But I could not form any words. What was left to say? I was barely standing because this guy had some serious effect on me.“Let’s at least go to the cafeteria to discuss it?” he asked when I didn’t say anything.I nodded at that and mumbled, “Okay…”I literally tried to attack him, but he let it go as if it were nothing. I am really starting to worry now.I don’t know what is happening between us, but I could feel the pull. There is something between us, unspoken and unimaginable. I could not put my fingers on it but it made me restless.After bringing me a coffee despite my reluctance, we sat at one of the tables together.I took out my notepad and pen as I stared at him blankly. Gosh! Why does this feel so difficult?We were friends once so technically I should know some things about him already. But I still feel extremely nervous.Fumbling with my pen as I asked him the first question, a
Amelia’s POVAfter hearing those horrid things that Zane said about me, I couldn't say a single more word. I returned back to the cafeteria on our seat as humiliation overwhelmed me.My hands were shaking with rage as they turned cold and I was on the verge of crying, but then I saw from the corner of my eyes that Zane was returning to the table so out of contempt I took out the wolfsbane out of my bag, which I kept just in case someone tried to attack me and added in his cup of coffee.I wiped my eyes so I didn't look like I was just about to cry my eyes off.When he came back there was a charming smile on his face, which I returned and he looked a bit shocked by the flirtatious smile on my face.Didn’t expect that, did you? Fucking arsehole.“What was that about? It took you a long time to come back,” I commented as if I were clueless.“It was just a friend, nothing you have to worry your pretty little head about,” he winked and I giggled in that cute, I have seen most girls do.I b
Amelia’s POVI stood there motionless as Garret turned around and looked at me. I was scared shitless by the look in his eyes, he wasn’t human for sure; but what is he? He looks like a bloody creature with his mouth covered in the blood of my co-worker. She lays motionless on the cold floor and I wondered what she did, to deserve a death like this?“Oh my god!” I whispered in a shaky breath as my body collided with a table behind me, I didn’t even realize I moved from my spot. My heart was beating wildly in my chest as I could barely register anything going around me.“Ah… the inquisitive Amelia. You truly have the worst timing ever,” he growled in his thunderous voice, and I saw his bloody teeth peeking out slightly.Is he a vampire? Or is he something else?“I wasn’t trying to pry on you, I was just here for my shift, but I promise I wouldn’t tell anyone about this,” I gasped out trying to make my breath even so that I don’t die due to poor ventilation.He smiled at my words as he w
