Angry Liam

Meghan didn't allow Anastasia to breathe for even a second the moment they were in her apartment. She hadn't even gotten a glass of water since she arrived back as she was busy in nursing Trevor's wounds. “Let me breathe Meg.” Anastasia said as she went towards her counter to grab a glass and a jug of water. She poured herself a glass and gulped it whole and the thought of her not even offering Trevor a glass of water passed through her mind.

Meghan also tagged after her towards the counter and quickly drew one of the long stools and sat on it with her ears all stretched out for some gossip. Anastasia rolled her eyes and dropped her glass after she finished drinking her water. She turned to Meghan with a bore expression. “What would you like to know? The fact that he saved me from almost getting stabbed to death?” Ana asked and Meghan gasped in shock.

“What! I... didn't know! Why didn't you tell me earlier! Are you hurt anywhere! Are you fine?” Meghan quickly got down from the stool and rounded towards Anastasia and gave her a spin to check her body for any injuries. Anastasia chuckled and said, “Am fine Meg and it's all thanks to Trevor.”

“Trevor? That's his name? So freaking cute.” A wide and flustered smile spread across Meghan's face. Anastasia's phone beeped just then and she sprinted towards where she had placed her phone to charge. She turned it on and her heart ached when seventeen missed calls from Adam popped up on her phone screen. He must have been sick with worry for her after her phone abruptly turned off during their talk.

“Seventeen! He sure loves you a lot! I mean he even called me for the first time just to check up on you girl.” Meghan said from behind Anastasia's shoulders. Even Meghan was shocked when an unknown number repeatedly called her. She became frustrated and answered the call on the fourth ring and indeed was shocked to have Anastasia's boyfriend Adam on the phone with her.

“Now do you see why he's the best and why I love him so much.” Anastasia said and quickly dialled his number. It only rang once before the line connected and Adam's deep worried voice boomed into the speakers of her phone giving a little startle to both girls. “Ana! What happened?! Are you okay! I was worried sick!! Why did our video call get disconnected?”

Anastasia smiled. “Am sorry babe. My phone's battery died.” She said. “Am surprised you called Meg to enquire about me. I see how much you care about me.” A red tinted blush filled both her cheeks as she said. He cared so much about her. She recalled how once he had casually asked for a friend's contact. A friend that was closest to her. Anastasia didn't think of it as any big deal and gave him Meghan's number. But now saw the reason why. Her lips curled to form a silent smile. One that made Meghan hum out loud making her blink and thin her lips instantly.

Adam breath out a deep sigh of relief over the phone and Meghan quickly said to him. “It's a good thing you called Adam! You were right to worry about our dear Ana. She almost got robbed tonight.” And, Anastasia's eyes slowly widened as she turned her neck to glare at Meghan. Now Meghan realized what she had said and bit her tongue. “Sorry...sometimes my mouth runs faster than my brain.” She whispered in apology.

“What! Robbed! Ana! Am switching over to video call right away!” Adam said almost breathless and the call was switched. Anastasia saw Adam inviting her for a video call and she took deep breaths and answered. Adam's face popped up on the screen. His face stretched out with stress marks and worry. He didn't say a word and took his time in relishing Anastasia's whole face. There wasn't a single bruise on her face. “Your arms! I want to see your arms Ana.” Adam commanded. Anastasia raised both her arms over her phone screen and Adam only sighed once again in relief. “What of your legs! Your other parts....”

“Adam! Am fine. Nothing happened to me.” Anastasia was quick to say as to ease all of Adam's worries. For some reason she didn't want to bring up the topic of Trevor saving her from almost getting killed tonight. She contemplated. She had never hidden things from Adam before and she also knew Adam was the type of guy who understands.

“I'll leave you guys alone. I'll be in your room.” Meghan whispered and strolled away. Now Anastasia felt more comfortable in talking with Adam without Meghan hovering around her. “Thank goodness Ana. How did you manage to escape?” Adam asked. “Um...a guy in my class saved me.” Anastasia replied.

“Why are you talking like that? You sound reluctant.” Adam narrowed his brows. Anastasia gulped. “Is there something I don't know?” Adam asked further. “No... I just thought you would feel bad because of the subject of another guy.” Anastasia said. And Adam laughed over the phone. “And why will I be Ana? I completely trust you. Infact am indebted to that guy who saved you. I do feel bad that I couldn't be there to save you but I feel good that he was also there to save you.” Adam said and Anastasia wondered if this guy couldn't be more perfect. Could such a guy really exist in this world? He was perfect in all ways and was so very understanding. How lucky was she to have him as hers in this world. They talked for long hours before calling it a night for Anastasia.

The next day as always, Liam came up to Anastasia's locker to tease her once again. Anastasia was tired and at her wits end in tolerating him for this long. She had expected him to back off and chase after another girl in campus once she rejected him a few times but his insistence was becoming annoying. “Hey bella. What's popping?” He asked while leaning against the locker close to hers. Anastasia didn't reply this time and pretended he didn't even exist. Liam blinked in surprise and smirked. He liked her defiance. Her refusal was only prickling his interest in her even more and more.

“Your ignorance only makes me want you even more my dearest Anastasia. Do you know that?” Liam said eyeing her gorgeous curves with his eyes that now turn lustful. He licked his lips and saw she didn't respond for the second time. Anastasia dropped her textbooks and slammed her locker shut and turned away when Liam touched her shoulders. Anastasia stilled for a brief second before she immediately threw his hand off her and turned around with anger on her face.

“How dare you touch me!” Her voice was sharp and a bit loud that it gathered few attention from the students passing by the area. Liam blinked and gritted out. Even though her defiance sometimes entranced him, he also hated being yelled at no matter who that person was. He growled at Anastasia who also didn't back off from returning his glare with hers. “Did you just yell at me?” He asked as his left eye twitched not believing that Anastasia would ever shout at him. “Yes! Yes I did. And I will continue if you don't leave me alone Liam!” Anastasia replied sternly with a harsh tone added in her voice.

Some of the students awed out in surpise and mockery. This was the first time in campus that anyone let alone a girl had spoken to Liam in that harsh and high tone. It was a sight to see for the students. And more gathered in the hallway to witness the drama unfold. Liam was gritting his teeth in anger and fury having his whole crowd around him and Anastasia in witnessing his disgrace because of her. “How dare you Anastasia! I think I've been far too lenient with you so far and it seems you're taking advantage.” Liam growled and he changed completely into a mad bully. Even Anastasia felt some cold goosebumps form all over her body after witnessing his changed form. This was a first.

“What are you? Are you that pretty for you to dare talk to me in that tone! Not even my mother talks to me in that tone. She knows the consequences of that let alone some delusional bitch like you.” Liam charged at her and Anastasia unknowingly stepped back until her back crashed with her locker. “Liam. Stay away.” She said mastering up the courage. She didn't want to be afraid of this dumbhead. “Hey! Don't go near her.” Meghan yelled from behind but Zack, one of Liam's minons and a bully as well grabbed her and all the students watched the show. No one dared to mess with them or they would become their targets.

Liam was charging forward and grabbed a hold of Anastasia's arm shocking her. “Leave me.” Anastasia said still perplexed by his actions. He was looking at her with anger. “Applogize. I said apologize for yelling at me Anastasia. You don't want to see my side when am mad.” Liam warned and Anastasia only winced and struggled to get her wrist off his tight hold.

Just then Trevor came out of the blue and grabbed Liam's hand that held Anastasia's wrist tightly. Anastasia darted her large green eyes at him. Liam also turned his neck around to glare at the new guy. “Who are you? I haven't seen you here before? Are you new?” He asked. “He's a transfer student Liam.” Zack replied. Trevor looked at Liam with his same stoic expression. “Leave her arm right now.” He said calmly. Liam laughed at him. “You don't know me at all new guy. I run this school. No one dares to mess with me or they face the consequences. I've gotten many students expelled from this school. So there's my introduction new guy. Stay out of my affairs. It would be best for you.” Liam said and frowned once again as he turned his hard gaze back on Anastasia.

“Apologize to me Anastasia!” Liam shouted and Anastasia jumped a little at his loud tone and Trevor tightened his grip on Liam's hand. “Didn't you hear me before. Leave her.” Trevor said once more and Liam was more irked and turned his head while sucking in deep breaths towards Trevor. “I warned you before and now you'll pay for interfering.” He threatened.
