FOUR | HOTTER HELL

CHAPTER FOUR | HOTTER HELL

IVY KING

It wasn't a dream.

I am not kidding, it really was not a sweet dream.

I didn't accept the fact that I am and was wide awake when everything went down until someone hit me pretty hard on the head and said, “Sup, Poison. How many lives did you ruin over the weekend with your ugly face?"

I was so tempted to say that the only life I ruined is mine and it wasn't during the weekend but this fucking morning but I just kept shut and pulled my hood over my head.

I still haven't figured out who my mystery guy is. I have been thinking about him since the time I met him and I haven't been able to concentrate on anything being taught in class.

He looks too old to be a student but also looks way too young to be a teacher. I don't think he is more than 21 years of age.

I think he is likely going to be the elder brother of one of the students of this school. If there's anyone he could possibly be related to, it would definitely be Ava Walker. The girl is fucking gorgeous. She is hot enough to walk on a runway. Beautiful enough to contest for miss world and win the contest. But even at that, she still isn't good enough to be my mystery man's sister.

Maybe they are step siblings. Maybe Ava's mother, who is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen in my life, divorced Ava's father because she fell in love with a god and they gave birth to my mystery man, but that can't be possible since my mystery man is clearly older than Ava.

Maybe Ava's mother's first love was a god and they fucked a couple of times and she gave birth to my mystery man but couldn't have a happily ever after because the god had to go back to and it was an abomination for gods and goddesses to have any sexual relationship with humans. So, abandoning his one true love he went back to the sky.

Unknown to him, Ava's mother was already pregnant. When she gave birth to the child, she couldn't support the child as a single mother and had no choice but to marry Ava's father to support her. They gave birth to Ava and lived happily ever after but Ava's mother still longs for her first love.

Yes, I just made that all up…I just made up a whole story about Ava's family even though I know nothing about them while the teacher is in class teaching. And yes, I do this always and it's probably one of the main reasons I'm dumb. My fantasies are probably one of the side effects of reading too many fictional books.

Sometimes, it feels like my head is in a completely different world. I started using fantasies to drown out reality in my freshman year when I could no longer bear the pain of the real world. I soon became accustomed to it and sometimes, I can't differentiate between the world in my head and the world around me.

Like right now, I can hear someone repeatedly calling my name. That someone is Mrs Sanders and she keeps calling my names for a reason I can't fathom.

I can't tell if it's just a fragment of my imagination or if it is real because I am way too deep in my fantasy land. Also because Mrs Sanders has no business in our class as Mr Matthew should be teaching us right now.

I am stuck in my head until someone bangs my table. That someone happens to be Mrs Sanders and checking the wall clock in front of the class makes me realise that Mrs Sanders actually should be teaching us…is teaching us.

I am so fucking screwed.

“King, what was the last thing I said?" I asked sassily.

Shit! I don't know the answer. She knows I wasn't listening and she wants to embarrass me.

I don't even know what the hell she is teaching about.

Totally panicking, I say the first thing that comes to my head. “Ava's mother divorced Ava's father."

Unfortunately for me, Ava just happens to be in my class and it is safe to say that she isn't happy with my words…at all.

“My parents are very much married, you crazy fucking freak. You should be locked up in an asylum." Ava yells furiously.

Unfortunately…again, Ava just happens to also be the queen bee of my school. She is Channel crazy, Regina George mean. She is the perfect combination of the character of every mean girl in a mean girl movie. She is a walking perfectly sculpted gorgeous demonic bitch.

Somehow, I just know that this hell in the disguise of an educational institute is going to become way hotter than it was before. I would most likely burn to ashes before I graduate.

If an award is to be given to a person who digs up a big hole, adds ten thousand snakes and a million scorpions and also stupidly falls into the hole, I would be given it without being questioned.

I did not just fuck up my already fucked up life more, I think I also hurt Ava. I fucked up big time.

Mrs Sanders, like the kind soul she is, starts scolding me. “I am highly disappointed, Ivy. I thought…"

She is interrupted by the principal asking me to come to his office immediately through the intercom.

Could this day get any worse? What crime could I possibly have committed to be summoned to the principal's office?

My questions are answered immediately. I walk into the principal's office and see who is sitting on one of the chairs reserved for visitors.

It is none other than my mystery guy. The atom of doubt I had about today being real or not is finally cleared. I am not dreaming.

“Have a seat." The principal gestures to the seat directly beside the mystery man.

He probably told him that I made sexual advances by calling him Daddy in the morning. Curse you BDSM books, you caused this shit. I wouldn't be here if I simply read the Bible or any cute cliche books that are way too sweet, they threaten to give me diabetes.

“Say hello to your new tutor, Mr Valentino. Don't be deceived by his young look and tattooed body, he is a walking calculator. A breathing encyclopaedia. I am positive that with his help, you would graduate very easily. You need the help if you don't want to spend another extra year here."

The bomb that was dropped is way too much for me to handle.

If only the principal knows that one look at Mr Valentino's face is enough to make me hypnotised and deceived for the rest of my life.

Shit! This hell truly got a hundred times hotter.
