21 Chapter 21 I had been in the gym for about an hour now and let's just say I'm sweating like I'd just ran a triathlon . I was still in my workout clothes though I had to change my WHITE shorts for my black ones because they were covered in blood . And I actually liked those shorts and now they were ruined , another reason to want to kill Whitney . Wow they just keep piling up now don't they ? When i finally thought the punching bag had enough and my anger was gone I got my jacket from the floor and slung it over my shoulder and made my way to the kitchen . Almost all the guys were there as I made my way to the refrigerator , getting a bottle of water and drinking almost all of it . I glanced back at the guys and saw them all staring . Then i realized i was glistening with sweat with nothing but shorts and a tank - top . I rolled my eyes . Wolves will be wolves . " I see you've been in the gym " Dave said " for an hour " 20:32 1/6 21 Chapter 21 I smirked at him " Well it's kind of hard to stop punching the dang thing when I keep imagining Whitney's face on it " that made them laugh " Now at least I can not kill her . Although I still don't see why you guys insisted on that " You know the phrase ' Speak of the devil ' ? well I think it was made for Whitney cause seconds later she came in the kitchen . jason immediately threw me a warning look and I could tell everyone was watching my every move . She shoved past me to get to the refrigerator Deep breaths Lily . Out with all the anger I told myself . Whitney pulled back and stopped in front of me . She looked at my ' injury ' and back at me with a smirk . oh screw it ! Heloooo anger ! I thought as I suddenly punched Whitney in the stomach so hard she hit the kitchen door . " Lily , we had a deal " I heard Xavier say but when i turned to him I saw amusement in his eyes , that he was trying to hide . " Besides I thought working out helped ? " 20:32 2/6 21 Chapter 21 " guess it didn't " I smirked " Besides I said I wouldn't kill her . That " I pointed to Whitney who was on the floor clutching her stomach " Won't kill her but it'll hurt like a bitch " The guys cracked up laughing . I went and sat next to Xavier who draped his arm around me . " By the way I'm not going directly here after school okay ? " I told him " Going job hunting " Xavier rolled his eyes " How many times have I told you that you don't need to get a job Lily " Xavier said . 2 " I want to " I said " Let's not start this argument again " He nodded reluctantly . Xavier always tried to convince me that I didn't have to work , but I wanted to be able to support myself , I never wanted to be a burden . I went up to my room , took a shower and got ready to bed when I heard a knock on my door . " come in " I said but the door didn't open . I opened the door but no one was there , but in my peripheral vision I saw someone just around the corner of the hallway peeping at me . I looked at the floor and noticed a flower bouquet . 20:32 3/6 21 Chapter 21 I picked up the lilies and suppressed a smile . I got out the card I saw and opened it I remembered these were your favorites . Thought you'd like them Ethan . To say I was shocked would be an understatement . I didn't expect Ethan to know what my favorite flowers were , hell I didn't expect him to know anything . The gesture was sweet but … still . Suddenly I had an idea . I took the flowers and went in my room , closing the door behind me . I sprayed some of my perfume on them and brought my lighter I lit each lily and opened the door again , seeing the figure around the corner , which I was now sure was Ethan . I looked at the burning flowers and threw them on the floor , got back to my room , and closed my door . I definitely heard the sound of Ethan stepping on the flowers to turn off the fire and laughed silently , did he really expect me to be so easy ? I laid in bed for a while before falling asleep . 20.33 4/6 21 Chapter 21 The next day school was as boring as ever I spent most of it with my boys . It wasn't until I went to the bathroom during history that something caught my eye " Well well well what do we have here ? " I heard a guy's voice say . I peaked around the corner to see two guys walking menacingly near a small frightened looking brunettewearing a hoody . " How've you been geek ? " " Excuse me " she mumbled trying to push past them " Where do you think your going troll ? " one guy said , felt anger rising in me . Too many memories were rushing to me , bastards . I turned the corner but they didn't notice me I leaned against a locker and put my foot up against it . " Looking scared ugly " One guy told her . Okay time to show myself . " Hello boys " I said calmly making both guys turn to me . They were obviously both jocks , they were wearing the school jersey . I " Hey there sexy " one of them said walking towards me " how you doing ? " I fought the urge to roll my eyes . 20:33 5/6 < 21 Chapter 21 " you know what they say about guys who pick on innocent people " I said ignoring him " And what is that ? " he asked eyeing my body . I looked at the girl who was standing away from them looking at the situation . " That they're so insecure of their manhood that they use bullying as a way to … uh " I glanced at his crotch and smirked " compensate " Comment 3
