Lexa

LEXA

I walked down that hallway full of kids, not wanting to bump into them. I just kept my books on my chest, as my steps became faster. 

Fuck, I had woken up late that morning, my alarm hadn't gone off and I would eventually be late for class. I quickly turned into the hallway of my classroom and sighed nervously. The teacher had given me one last chance to revise one of my last papers.

If I didn't pass, my holiday would be completely ruined. Thinking about it, I quickly crossed to get to the classroom door, but at that moment my body collided with something completely hard and muscular. 

"What the fuck?" I grunted before looking up shakily. 

As soon as I saw the face of the figure in front of me, my stomach began to turn. Morgan Walter, the high school bastard who only spent his days making me unhappy. 

Morgan was the brother of my older brother's best friend, so all my life I've had to deal with Morgan. He and his brother are the sons of Garret Walker, the wealthiest and most powerful man in the country.

They even say that the man is in the habit of wiping out anyone who would challenge him, his sons being idiots who spend their days annoying others. 

I still didn't understand what the hell Morgan was doing at my high school, being a fucking rich man of the country. Before that my brother and I knew something was wrong, but we never looked into it. 

However, ever since Morgan came to school everyone seemed to have gone crazy, he was the captain of the football and basketball team but if that wasn't enough all the girls saw him as the hottest guy because of his big stature and muscular body.

His muscular arms had several tattoos that went all the way down his back, but none of that mattered to me. It's not like I wanted to see him anyway. 

Previously Morgan was attentive, and he used to play with me, and I even grew to like him a lot. Maybe I felt completely in love with him, enough to fantasise about a wedding and children together. But since he turned 18, he started to be a self-centred jerk. He was everything I hated in a boy and I couldn't wait for summer to come so I wouldn't see him.

I thought high school would be better this year, but Morgan didn't miss a chance to ruin every damn day of my life. 

"Fuck Lexa... Are you stupid and blind?" He said making everyone around me turn to sneer at me.

I clenched my fists and looked down in shame. I took a step to pick up the books I had dropped, but he stopped in front of me and leaned towards me.

"How can you smell so disgusting?" He insinuated mockingly.

I didn't even look up to see him, I just frowned and picked up my books. 

"You should be careful when you walk, Lexa?" He added rudely.

I straightened up and tried to continue my way, but before I took a step he stopped in front of me with his hands in his pockets "What? Is little Lexa going to cry? Fuck, I love when you cry, you're so sensitive..." He insinuated.

My eyes redden with anger, I never understood why he was teasing me like this. 

"Are you going to cry?" He whispered making a shiver start to run down my spine. 

"Please Morgan... I need to go..." I said cursing my own polite words. 

"What? I didn't hear you right, say that again" He said with a cynical smile on his face. 

I didn't even have a chance to speak when one of his hands was on my chin. He pressed it hard and forced me to look at his face. 

Fuck, Morgan could be the world's biggest idiot, but I couldn't help but get lost in his grey eyes with some blue in them. He had something mesmerizing about his gaze. He was an attractive fucking Adonis!

"Morgan... please... can you give me a leave? I have to get to class" I said with a difficult tone. 

However, in response I got his typical smirk "Fuck Lexa, I don't understand why you're still attending this school. You don't have any friends, and I'm sure no one will notice you're not in class. Besides, if you leave you'll save me from seeing your ugly face every day" He said with an evil laugh. 

His words made me frown as I struggled to contain my anger. "What the hell? why? Why do you hate me so much? What the fuck did I ever do to you?" I spat, unable to take it anymore. 

"Why? Isn't your existence enough?" He said with a bright smile before letting go of my chin and pushing me back. 

When those words entered my ears, I felt a sharp pain in my senses. I wasn't interested in Morgan, but I was obviously sore from his rejection.  I felt how my chest tightened and quickly ran to the bathroom as I pushed him away. 

My eyes were red and tears were streaming down my cheeks. He was treating me even worse, why did it hurt so much? I went into a cubicle and locked myself in with my hands covering my face. 

They weren't the worst things Morgan had ever said to me, but they did hurt me to the bottom of my heart. 

I was so numb to my thoughts, I didn't notice that some girls had gone into the bathroom.

"Fuck, did you see how Morgan was dressed today? He's a fucking god! Geez Layla, you're so lucky" One of the girls said suddenly. 

"I think he came more handsome than the rest of the days, for fuck's sake," added another of the girls. 

"Yeah, and he's totally mine" Said Layla, the most popular and apparently the most attractive girl in the school, who is also Morgan's girlfriend and another one who made my days a living hell. 

"Are you sure?’ asked another girl. 

"What are you talking about?" Layla's voice sounded a little angry. 

"What about that girl in ordinary clothes? She seems to be very interested in Morgan" added her friend with an intrigued tone. 

When I heard her words, my heart almost sank nervously. In fact, I always had a jumper with me that my father had given me before he disappeared. 

"That dumb girl? Oh my gosh, she's just an idiot that Morgan hates. I think she's obsessed with Morgan and wants to be around him all the time. Besides, Morgan said she's horrible in bed, and everyone at school already knows that" Layla said with a smirk. 

My fists clenched, and I felt anger consume me. In fact, that wasn't true! I never slept with Morgan, let alone was obsessed with him. Maybe I liked him, but who didn't like Morgan back then?

"Oh god, that's so sick. why is she obsessed with him? Fuck, she's unhinged" Layla's friend said.

"Yeah, Morgan said they had sex once, and she's been freaking out ever since" Layla added again.

I couldn't even stand what those girls were saying. So without thinking, I just kicked the cubicle door hard and heard the girls let out a loud panicked scream. 

"What the hell!" Layla shouted, raising her hands in the air.

"Everything... Everything they say is a lie! I never slept with Morgan!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. 

At my scream the girls exchanged glances before turning to me and laughing with laughter.

"Lie? Why would he lie? Besides, he looks pretty embarrassed to have slept with a..." Layla didn't even have to finish her sentence to know what she was referring to as she looked me up and down. 

"And I don't blame him..." Said another of the girls with laughter. 

"Shame on him... What a shame it would be for me to be with a bastard like Morgan!" I shouted gritting my teeth. 

The girls' eyes widened like two saucers as I continued in exasperation with a shout. 

"Morgan is just the most disgusting, immature, self-centred, self-absorbed, idiotic boy I've ever met and I'm sure his haughty ways are just to make up for something that clearly doesn't live up to his expectations, isn't it Layla?" I said looking dangerously at Layla. 

However, just as I was about to add something else, a voice boomed from behind me "What the hell did you just say?". 

At that moment my whole body began to tremble. I quickly looked around and saw Morgan standing there in the doorway, his breath hitching and his angry eyes straight at me. 

Morgan had his teeth clenched and his eyes fixed on my face. The dangerous gleam in his eyes made my whole body freeze as I looked up and took in his handsome, angry face. 

How could he be so handsome and so damn annoying at the same time? 

"Mor... Morgan..." I said without even stopping my shaking. 

Before I could defend myself, however, Morgan raised his hand and grabbed my arm forcefully. I had never seen him so angry.

"So you're talking shit about me right now? " He growled angrily. 

His fingers squeezed my arm causing a wave of panic to attack me "No...I don't..." I shook my head. 

"Stop lying Lexa!" Morgan exclaimed before turning to Layla "Layla? Tell me, was she talking shit about me?"" He asked.

Fuck, when I heard that, I knew that that oxygenated bimbo would throw me into the lion's den without hesitation. 

"Yeah, baby... She's been talking shit about you. She even tried to hit me... I... I was scared to death sweetie" Layla said faking a nervous sob. 

I couldn't believe what that girl had said, was Morgan really going to believe her? Thinking about it I turned my gaze towards Layla to glare at her with my expression, but at that moment Morgan grabbed my chin with her free hand and forced me to look at it. 

"Damn it, don't look at her! Lexa Riddik, you have no idea what hell you've unleashed!" Morgan shouted, making the bathroom walls rumble. 

A cynical and wicked smile came from his lips making my whole body shudder. I had never seen him smile so wickedly.

My legs were immobilized in the face of Morgan's anger. However, the anger was consuming me. 

But who the hell did Margan think he was? Why could he say anything and expect me to just nod and forget it? 

"Fuck Lexa, I want to hear a fucking apology from you!" He said coldly. 

I opened my eyes like two saucers when I heard him say that "Apologize?" I repeated. 

Did he want me to apologize for telling the truth? What the fuck! 

"Yes, I want you to take your dirty knees to the floor and apologize?" Morgan ordered in a tone that made my stomach churn. 

"What?" I mumbled making Morgan let out a smirk. 

In the blink of an eye, Morgan squeezed my arm and leaned his lips to my ear as his imposing muscular chest stood in front of me. 

He was so fucking tall and muscular that my body looked so tiny in front of him. 

Yes, I want you to be a good girl and kneel for my forgiveness" Morgan whispered softly in my ear. 

His warm breath hit my skin making my heart race. I had never been this close to Morgan before, I might have even given anything for this before. 

In front of the towering man, I could hear the murmurs and mocking laughter of Layla and her friends in the distance. 

Until an act of bravery took over all my senses. 

"No!" I shouted noticing how Morgan's expression became even more tense. 

The bathroom was completely silent for a couple of seconds, until Morgan's piercing voice was heard again.

"What the fuck did you say?" He hissed. 

"I said no, Morgan. Why the hell do you think you can control me? I've had it with your abuse and your foul language. Now get out of my way, I've got to go" I shouted, clenching my fists. 

My cold stare was on Morgan, though his expression was even darker and funereal.
