23: Bully
I glanced at the other students but they seemed oblivious on what these guys are up to. Those who noticed were just laughing. None of them paid attention that I am close to being bullied here. They didn't care. I was never been bullied even during grade school. And I'm receiving this kind of treatment now that I'm in college? This is too childish.
"Hmm. Want to spend the night with me later? Though your boobs are not that big, I think you'd pass. Wanna try? I am a good in making women scream in pleasure," he said with low voice but I'm sure the students around two meter radius heard it.
I clenched my teeth as my cheeks flushed in anger. I was never been insulted that way. That was the fucking first time.
"Really?" I asked through gritted teeth and scanned his body for a brief moment. "You think you can make me scream? With that simple body? I don't think so. My standards are quite high for you to reach."
His friends' laughters echoed in the room. The near

The boys in front of me were suddenly standing erect, lips are tightly pursed with obvious nervousness etched in their faces. I could hear the footsteps approaching at my back. As I sensed him nearing, I smelled a very pleasant scent, awakening all my senses. It was like a combination of fresh mint, freesia, chocolate goo or something sweet, strong and appealing like an expensive alcohol."W-we were just talking with Everleigh, Carter. Nothing really serious, you know." Clarkson chuckled nervously.His friends stood still like statues, as if they wanted to run but they were trapped. But that did not surprised me. What stunned me was the fact that Carter was here, behind me. Though at the same time, I was relieved."Really?" I could almost taste the sarcasm in Carter's voice, as if he knew better than anyone of us. Like there is nothing in this world that we could hide from him. It was as if he have the means of knowing every
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 25: Not a Freak
Later that night, Mom, Felix and I had dinner together. I was silent the whole time they talked about some things related to government and technical things. Though at the middle of the conversation, Mom found a way to ask me about school. It felt odd that she was the one asking me that now. I told her some things, but not all the details including the weird treatment of the students.But I think it's possible that she has something to do with it. I remembered Clarkson calling her some ill names like he holds a grudge against her, against me — which is probably because I am her daughter. That reason seems more logical. But what did Mom actually has done? Have she done something unlawful in the eyes of her people?That night, I slept late thinking about the possible reasons. I didn't find a convincing reason, though.The following Monday, I was five minutes late on my first class with Carter as the teacher. He gave us a
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 26: His Eyes
"You're not a freak, Eve. You will never be.""I know." I chuckled. "I am glad I have you to remind me that. Thank you, Mr. Rellis.""I thought you don't like formalities?""I don't, usually. But sometimes, I do. When I feel like addressing someone in a formal way."He opened the cafeteria's door for me. I mumbled a quick "thank you" before I entered the place. He led me to the table near the wall and pulled me a chair. That certain moment, I felt like I am a lucky commoner being served by a royalty. I can't help but smile while thinking of it."What do you want?" he asked, looking at me."Burger, the regular size. Orange juice or iced tea and green salad." I was about to get some cash on my wallet but he stopped me."I'll pay it, Eve. Don't bother."He didn't give me a chance to protest because he already turned his back on me and walked away. And all I did was to stare
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 27: Over Speeding Truck
Students around glanced at me like I did something wrong again. They surely didn't overheard our conversation but I'm sure they saw Carter's hard expression when he walked out. Even the Rellis glanced at me. But it was only very quick. I silently thank God for that. I just can't take the eyes of those intimidating people. It's too much.I sighed and stood up. I don't know why Carter acted that way. His actions are really unpredictable. But what really shocked me was what happened earlier. First, how come he answered a question I only asked on my mind? I'm sure I didn't say it aloud. And he didn't even answer me.Second, the strange change of his eyes. From bright sea green to dark. I know I have the strangest mind. But I just really can't ignore it. Was my imagination too wild? But Carter's reaction was too weird. Or maybe I just don't know him well.The next day, I skipped two classes in the morning because I wasn't feeling
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 28: I'm Sorry
"A-Are you okay, Ma'am? I'm really sorry! I didn't know how it happened but I just felt the car moving towards another direction like it was controlled by some unknown force ..." the driver said with confusion. We're stuck at the side of intersection with a lot of different noises outside.I didn't listen to what he had to say and immediately offered the fare to get out.My heart leaped when I saw Carter outside, standing right before me with his big bike behind him. He examined me with a look as if he was looking for me wrong. I gripped at the hem of my jacket's oversized sleeve when he lifted his head back to meet my gaze."Are you hurt?" the gentleness of his voice was like a sweet melody in my ears.I shook my head quickly, glancing at the truck again, checking if there was any casualties. But because of the crowd of people around I could no longer see what was going on there. Thinking of the possible damages and injuries the people inside the restaur
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 29: Bold Stares
I didn't talk and continued walking. His reaction is still a big puzzle to me. Or maybe he just grew tired of my nonsense observations that he thought it was sickening. Or maybe he's thinking that I'm going crazy."If you would give me a ride, then you can't attend the ball. I think that's unfair in your part.""How would that be unfair? I offered, Eve. I wasn't forced. It's my own will.""But I'd feel guilty for it.""Why would you? As what I've said, it's my own will. Besides, I had plans on buying some stuffs too."I turned to him, giving him a smug look."And you would make me ride that big bike of yours? You saw what happened yesterday. I was almost smashed by a huge truck while I was on a cab. The percentage of risk is far greater when riding a motorcycle. Don't you know that?"He smirked like what I'm worrying about was very laughable. He even bit his lower lip to suppress a
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 30: Nothing Bad
The next moment, I became oblivious on what Irish was talking about. Strange but I can feel his gaze on me. I don't want to assume but I just can feel it. I feel like he is watching my back. And it's damn making me tense for some unfathomable reason."Do you already have a dress for the ball? How about your date?"I shook my head. "I won't go."Her smile faded. "Why? That's one of the most awaited events every year! You should come, Eve. It's awesome. You can go without a date but it would be better if you have one. Jason already asked me." She giggled and her cheeks flushed."Good for you. I'm sure Jason would be a great partner," I glanced slightly at the west, heading to Carter's table. I found him staring at me. Right away, I knew he was staring at me for too long now. I raised a brow, silently mocking him. I was surprised he didn't bother to look away. In fact, he smirked at me."I wonder. Is it tr
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 31: Bad Taste
I have heard those words in a movie, but the man wasn't any other ordinary being. He was more than that. That is why I think it's ridiculous."How can you be so certain? Are you a supernatural being with inhuman abilities?" I chuckled to mock him. But he didn't speak. He was facing front, static for several seconds. And I didn't have enough courage to interfere on his sudden silence."Are... you mad with me again?" I asked carefully. I didn't mean any offense. It was supposed to be a joke."No," he finally answered. I was relieved."Hold on to me now, Eve. Make sure it's tight enough."He made the engine roar again. I immediately wrapped my arms around his waist, afraid that I might fall if I won't hold tight enough. It would be a terrible fall, I'm sure. It earned a chuckle from him."Not too tight, please.""Oh! I'm sorry..." My cheeks burned and quickly loosened my arms on him.
