Stuck between two bad boys

You bet I would not be able help myself but almost explode in anger, suffocating in my own sweat. Heated from rage and disgust I clenched my fist and screamed inwardly.

“Like seriously?”, I said out of deep frustration, referring to no one in particular.

Well, who would I be talking to?

Xavier only looked at me from the car’s inner mirror of the car with an emotionless glare. His face went back to his phone and for a moment I can’t help but think he is probably watching naked girl twerk.

Looking at my father who has a big grin on his face as he stared at Devin through the front mirror. His eyes moved to me for a few seconds and I can bet I saw him smirk.

“Oh son, you were really wonderful” he started “like .. I am saying you were super strong handling those kids last I saw you”, James said in a praise Worthy manner to Devin who replied with silence.

What the heck are they trying to do? Make me piss? Perfect!

“I would like to alight now pls!”, I said interrupting them in a likely rude manner and looking at the door handle.

“Really?”.

Oh! Did Xavier just talk?

“Would you want to show off now that we are cool already?”, Xavier announced referring to me.

Hearing Xavier’s voice made me feel like smashing his face on the phone he was holding, but, I just had to smile to myself looking straight into his eyes through the mirror.

‘Fuck you’ i mouthed.

I could literally see his face, but his tension made it clear he was becoming pissed off already due to the behavior he had noticed.

I should be the one pissed. Devin and Xavier are always, devils, and seeing them cool, like can stay in the same car makes this want to look like a suicide mission.

If they are, I am not. I was never ready to spend any more seconds seating uncomfortably in a car I don’t want to share with some people at this very moment. Rather, Walking to school won’t kill me, would it?

Devin wasn’t even concerned about anything going on in the car, and neither did dad wants to act as though he noticed.

” I will jump out of this car” I snapped “I swear!”.

Oops!

That was the moment I knew I fucked up as they all turn to look at me in silence. Even Devin looked at me for the second time since he had entered the car. Although I could see so many unspoken things in his eyes but he just sighed and continued with the nothing he was doing.

Really?

That wasn’t what I was expecting! A little argument would have been fine and that is what I want. I was about to scream my lungs out if the door would not be open in a few seconds time but I was scared to even rest well on the door.

Like, who is not scared to die?

“I’m gonna throw myself out of this freaking car if you don’t stop now… and you gonna pay for that!”, I sounded making the last few words more loud and understandable.

Blah-blah-blah.

No one said a word or acted as though I had said something not even thinking about my presence in the car with them, which made me feel like smacking them all.

For more than three minutes, silence took its place right in our midst sending everyone to a longer length of quietness.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Xavier couldn’t and wouldn’t just help but glare at Devin and then at me, making the silence even louder. If he wants to punch someone in the guts he should do it now and I will appreciate it.

” I wasn’t really expecting any normal kid these days,” James said “Am talking to you…”.

“Devin”.

“Sounds like the devil” James chuckled.

He looked deep into Devin’s eyes who just shrug and looked away.

“Amma call you Devil” James Blurted out “You know what kid, I guess you made a good expression keeping my car safe dear… I own you one”.

I bet James would be having his head bigger than the car door as I hate that look on his face. Surely that older asshole is feeling like a king been his favorite knight smiling from ear to ear.

He looked at Devin and then back to me. I don’t know what he might have in mind but, that isn’t what I am expecting.

“That isn’t more like sir, I’m not exactly what people may have in mind about me.. but..” Devin said been interrupted by James’s new comment.

“Emma you-”

“It’s Emilia” I snapped.

He doesn’t even know the name! Who the heck is Emma? My step-sister?

“Okay. Emmie, you wouldn’t want to believe this but the kid that was punched on by this cool little man over here initially fainted?” James exclaimed with an annoying surprised expression on his face.

Who doesn’t know? Devin is the killer.

“He was super cool you know? I couldn’t let that talent go to waste, so, I had to tell the school authority that the kid was at the back of my car and I hit him!”.

The way James yelled the last part made me want to remind him that we are in the car, not a warehouse.

I only made a facial gesture to help him feel better.

“I didn’t see the boy after then so I paid the principal 1000$ and the boys around then 250$$ each to stay quiet and stay clear with the case”.

Is James really serious?

I can just decide to tell someone about it and boom James will be off my life good. Moreover, The story was just becoming too annoying and boring for me to keep listening to instead of having a smooth day.

Even as I was walking down the hall, I feel like my ears still have some of James’s stories but good things, I am at school and no longer in his car. I was heading for my school locker and about to get ready for the day when I saw Nigel descending the stairs case.

Dear lord!

“Hey Emmy, I was thinking you weren’t coming to school today”, Nigel yelled.

Did I tell you Nigel seems extra loud and suspicious today. Why the hell is he looking like he just…

Fine! I have a bad mind but his hair seems rough, his shirt rough, his lips look swollen and his eyes…. a bit black.

I hope he is not the kid Devin punched.

” I wasn’t gonna miss out on school on a day like this”, I decided to play along.

Normally I would sub him but with the look on his face, he seems like he wasn’t expecting it.

“That was weird” he muttered “But, I was thinking about telling you something before you left the cafe yesterday and…”. He trailed off.

Impatiently, I twisted my lips as I slowly brought out the last book I would need. Even after locking it, I still haven’t gotten a reply from Nigel.

“On with it, Boy”, I half yelled

“What’s it?”.

Nigel seems taken back. His eyes popped open as he licked his lower lips and rubbed his palms together.

“Was just wondering if you would like to come with me for a party this evening at…” He trailed off “Somewhere, I mean a place you wouldn’t want to miss out on”, he said in a shaky tone this time trying to smile as I was just looking at him with a straight face.

Someone shot me!

“Thats a NO”, I blurted out boringly “Shush away, Now!” I growled.

I didn’t feel pity for him or had any sign of remorse cause that was always what I had been waiting for, to make him feel stupid as he always is.

Walking away I smirked and clear my throat.

“You have to find better half to fill in with you ok? not me”, I half-shouted.

And I am still mad!

You know I can’t tell him I am made because of my ride to school making him pay for it isn’t the best way either.

“Freaking tuat!” I muttered.

I haven’t even taken the next turn to my class before I noticed something. Those evil eyes. Devin.

He would stare at me then Nigel, dame I know how evil he can be but with that look on his face as he smirked at the sad Nigel, I just can’t let him have that victorious look.

Dang, it!

I turn back to see Niger standing on the same spot and this should be my moment. I walked to him and gave him the biggest smile I have ever made.

Without thinking twice, I pulled Nigel into a hug. Although I felt irritated but with the new facial reaction of Devin, I felt fulfilled. My lips curved into a sly smile as I whispered.

“What time will you come to pick me up?”

Although the last word I heard was pm, I still don’t get why my heart is beating this loud especially as I can’t stand the people I am staring at.

Why are Xavier and Devin glaring at me?

Where the hell did Xavier even come from?
