Micah's POV I ground my jaw painfully. It was quite grueling, given how hardly Daniel had punched me in the face. I was sure the fuckwit had been itching to get his hands on me for quite a while. And then, I had taunted and given him the perfect opportunity. If only Maya hadn’t gotten injured in the process.I winced as I remembered the callous way in which she had spoken to me when I had gone to see her in the nurse’s office. She had been livid with rage and didn’t want to talk to me. She asked me to leave and even though I didn’t want to, I obliged. It was better I gave her a while to cool off before I approached her again.I got home and headed straight for the kitchen. I got out a bag of peas and held it up to my jaw, letting the coolness numb my flesh. It felt fucking good.Again, I thought about Maya. Before the fight, she had looked between Daniel and me, torn between who to submit too. I had seen it in her eyes. She may hate my guts but she was attracted to me. She felt the p

Daniel's pov"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I yelled at the crazy dude with a knife."Neill!" I heard Maya yell from behind her big sister, her voice filled with hope. I didn't have time to say hi as I was dragging her sister's boyfriend away from her."Who the fuck are you?"The guy managed to get away from my hold, glaring at me in spite."Maya's friend. Who the fuck are you and why are you holding a knife towards her sister.""None of your fucking business, man. This is a quarrel between couples. Now why don't you scurry out of here."He glared, his face red as a tomato. He was bigger than I thought. Two inches taller than me but with way more fat to him."Oh, I'm not going anywhere. Not until I make sure you are at least three hundred yards away from Maya and her sister." I seethed."Oh, I see what's going on here," he said with a slight chuckle. "This is him, isn't it? The one you've been spreading your legs open for behind my back?" He directed his question to Maya'

Lydia's POV "One bottle of water please!" I yelled for the bartender but he was busy attending to a few guys at the other end of the bar. I glanced over at where Maya was supposed to be sitting and found that she was talking to some random guy that looked too old to be at a bar. I groaned and yelled at the bartender to give me two bottles of water. "Any fucking day now!" I yelled once more and the bartender quickly scurried to the refrigerator and handed two bottles of water to me. "Damn girl, you are impatient." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him and slapped a 2 dollar bill on the table before turning around and walking off dramatically with my bottle of water. I was almost at the table when I realized Maya wasn't there. "Maya!" I called, looking around even though I knew she wouldn't be able to hear me over the loud music but I still tried. I scanned the bar and found Maya sitting on another table with the same creepy dude, smiling up at him as if ready to kiss

Maya's povAs I walked away from Micah about to turn to my next class. I felt Micah's hands on mine and he spun me back."Why are you doing this, Maya?" He asked.His amused expression just a minute again morphing into a painful expression."Because you are a terrible person, Micah, that's why." I said deadpanned"No, I am not!" He argued, his eyes widening in protest."Yes you are. You literally got Daniel suspended from school and got him in trouble with his parents!" I said in frustration."No, he got himself suspended from school. He was the one who pounced on me," he gesticulated."And you fought with him and almost broke my neck but here you are, very much unsuspended while Daniel is both suspended.""Oh, come on, that's not my fault.""Yes, it's the fault of you being a privileged brat, do better, Micah. Maybe I'd look your way then but with the way you are acting now? I want nothing to do with you."With that, I pulled my hands away from him and walked out on him. I didn't wan

Maya's POV I blinked at Micah's proximity to me. He was too close to me and I didn't like it. Without thinking about it, I pushed his face away and he chuckled."That's not funny." I glared at him."I'm sorry," he apologized, a smirk stretching his lips."No you aren't." I stood up from the bed, giving my safe enough space from his taunts."Yeah, I am sorry. I promise," he said, this time some honesty in his eyes."Fine, I forgive you." I said with a sigh."Come back then," he pouted."Come back where?" I asked in confusion. I was still close to him, I just was no longer sitting."Sit back down." He patted the space I had just left."Only if you don't try anything silly.""I promise, I won't."Rolling my eyes at him, I plopped down back on his bed and he beamed at me."You are such a spoilt kid sometimes, you know that,*"Really? I don't think so. Spoilt kids usually get what they want but here I am begging for to look in my direction."I narrowed my eyes at his smirking face."What?
