Chapter Six

"Argh, why does boys have to be so disgusting and irritating"I scowled as i approached my friends.

"What's wrong babe? what did Alex do this time?"Jane asked.

"It isn't Alex, it's that stupid cade"I grimaced as i sat down beside them on the chair not even paying attention to our teacher who was busy lecturing the class.

"Cade?what did he do?"Zoey asked.

"The idiot was all over me and even attempted to rape me"I scoffed.

"What?how dare he?"Jane exclaimed.

"This is definitely not acceptable"Zoey added.

"Boys are so stupid and useless,i hate them all"I said.

"So what did you do to him?"Jane asked curiously.

"I put him in his place, I dealt with him in such a manner that he'd have a rethink before trying to mess with any girl ever again"I said.

"Great,these boys always tend to think that they could have their way with us girls"Zoey said.

"And I'll keep dealing with them and knacking sense into their dumb empty heads"I said.

"What even made Cade to do such a thing,what did you do to warrant him attempting to rape you?"Jane asked.

"Just because of that silly agreement we had during the time of Alex's last basketball game,he thought he could then have his way with me, he's really stupid to have thought that i Olivia Henderson would lay down my body for his stupid self"I said.

"But babe, it's still your fault in a way, knowing the type of guy Cade is,you shouldn't have made such a deal with him"Zoey said.

"What could i do? at that time the only thing on my mind was getting revenge on Alex and besides i knew i could handle Cade, it's not like the plan even came through"I said.

"But still he kept his part of the agreement so it's wrong of you to play him like that"Jane said and then Zoey admitted with a nod.

"Hey,why does it sound like you want me to have sex with that scoundrel,you expect me to sleep with him?"I asked.

"No but still if i should judge this matter fairly then it's his right to sleep with you because you both had a agreement"Jane said.

"Well... I don't know,i guess you're right"I had to admit.

"It's not a matter of guessing,you know she's right"Zoey said.

"Fine,so what do you expect me to do now?"I asked.

"Apologize to him"Jane said.

"No way! that would only make him think I'm scared of him or something"I protested.

"But it's the right thing to do"Jane said.

"Nah, I'm not doing it, it's past already, let's just forget about it"I said.

"But babe, you have to...you were wrong and you know it"Jane nagged.

"And what makes you think he'll just simply accept my apology?"I asked.

"I know he will"Zoey said and i gave her an unsure look.

"Come on babe"Jane said.

"Fine but you know....."

"Ms Henderson,Ms White and Ms Roberts,may i know why you're disrupting my class?"Our teacher,Mrs Evelyn's voice rang from behind us and we turned our heads to face an unamused looking Mrs Evelyn.

"Um... ma'am,we were just...."

"Immediately after this class,i want to see all three of you in detention"She yelled.

"Hey that's not fair,we were just randomly talking and we weren't even loud!"I protested.

"That's it,two days more detention for you Ms Henderson"She said and i furrowed my eyebrow at her as she walked back to her desk attending to the class.

"If not for you both stupid lectures we wouldn't have gotten ourselves in this mess"I said angrily turning to my friends.

"Hey don't blame us, we're all in this together,we were only advising you as good friends who care"Zoey said.

"And now look where the goodness has landed us"I said,my temper already rising.

"If you had just kept your damn ass mouth shut then we'd probably not have been given detention,but no,as always you had to butt in when the teacher was still annoyed"Zoey said,her voice slightly raised.

"Oh so now you're blaming me, watch your tong-"

"Will you guys keep quiet already and stop fighting like kids, we've just been given detention, it's not like it's the first time so why make a big deal out of nothing?and besides,you both argument is irrelevant because we all got ourselves in this mess so keep your damn mouth to your selves and-"

"Ms Henderson,Ms White and Ms Roberts,out of my class now!"Mrs Evelyn Yelled, startling us.

***

I finally got home by 6pm after three hours of detention. I was already so angry and tired and i was still mad at so Zoey for talking to me so rudely.

I skidded the car, pulling over at my driveway. I turned off the engine and took out my backpack from the backseat as i got out of the car, slamming it shut and then locked it with my remote control.

I hurtled into the house, scurrying up the stairs but then stopped on my tracks as i could hear moans coming from Alex's room. I snuck my head closer to his door and heard the voice of a girl moaning and screaming on top of her lungs.

I creased my eyebrows in disgust as thoughts of what they were doing made me almost puke on the spot.

I withheld my self from the door and crept away to my room,making sure to slam the door to the hearing.

I flung my backpack across the room and went into the bathroom undressing to take a quick shower.

Ten minutes later i got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped loosely around my waist. I went into my walk-in closet to change into a grey polo shirt and black shorts.

I ruffled my hair gently as i blow-dried it with my hand drier after which i combed it as it fell loosely on my back.

I stormed out of the room and i could still hear voices of moans coming from Alex's room which made my stomach rumble.

I went down to the kitchen to make myself a pie.

I sat down on the sofa with my plate of pie in hand as i stared at the Tv screen where Keeping up with the kardashians was playing.

After about 20 minutes i heard voices coming from upstairs,not bothering to even take a peep i kept my eyes trailed on the Tv as i heard footsteps coming my way with a girls voice which was filled with laughter and giggles and then i heard kissing sounds.

Seriously can't people be less disgusting?

I cocked my head slightly to see Alex with a brunette walking hand in hand as they approached me. I averted my attention back to the Tv and pretended not to notice their presence as they scrambled down towards me.

"Who's she?"The girl asked and i turned my head facing them as they way standing few inches away from me.

I recognized the girl to be Chloe Thompson,team cheerleader at Mabel's highschool which was few yards away from ours.

"The annoying cousin i told you about"He said and then faced me "Hey couz"He said and i didn't bother to reply.

"Hi"Chloe said and i tilted my head, rolling my eyes at her as i stared her up to toes and then turned back to fix my eyes on the Tv, completely ignoring them.

"Hey don't mind her,she always have mood swings,i assure you she likes you"He said.

"Hey Alex, doesn't your cousin seem familiar?"Chloe asked.

"Of course, she's my cousin right?"He said like it was no big deal.

"I know but why does she seem so familiar,like I've seen her before"She said taking a closer look at me and i shot her a glare.

"You could have seen her anywhere,maybe the ma, coffee shop,club or somewhere,you know she's a socialite"He bluffed.

"Yeah but she seems way too familiar,like I've seen her somewhere close by before"She said with her finger on her chin as if she was thinking.

"Aha!Now i remember, I've seen her at your school,you both attend the same high school right?"She said like she had just won a lottery.

"Yes,of course, aren't we cousins?we attend the same school obviously"He shrugged.

"But why haven't i seen you guys together before like normal cousins,you guys don't hang out and I've never seen her at your house before"She interrogated.

"Yeah she doesn't like coming to my house, I'm the one who comes over to hers,just like now I'm staying at her place for the main time"He said.

I was already getting pissed and fed up with their silly drama,it would only require a little more provocation and I'll pounce on them.

"Well you're right anyway, but why isn't she saying anything, since we've been talking she hasn't said anything,is she mute?"She asked.

"Yeah she's kinda mute though it's not critical"He said and i shot him a glare instantly as he mouthed 'Please'

"Come on Catherine, stop thus interrogation, you're making my cousin nervous, let's go, I'll drop you off at home"He said.

"Hey my name is Chloe not Catherine!"She yelled and i stifled a laugh.

"Chloe, Catherine, they're both the dame,does it matter?"He asked.

"No, my name is Chloe and not Catherine Alex, I can't believe we've been dating for two good months and you still don't know my name"She yelled angrily, hitting his chest as she walked past him, slamming the door on her way out.

I burst out laughing as Alex ran after her.

"That was some drama"I muttered and fixed my eyes back at the Tv screen.

It wasn't up to thirty minutes when Alex came barging into the house like a wild animal who had lost it's way.

I glared at him furiously as he made his way over to where i was now standing with folded arms.

"Hey Liv,thanks a lot for not blowing my cover, I'm really sor-"

"Are you mad Alex?How dare you bring some random slut into my house,does this place look like a whore house of some sort,you were even busy on a make out section with her in my house!If the thing in your pant was itching you so much to have a girl banged then why didn't you do it elsewhere or better still lodged in a hotel!Cousin? seriously?"I yelled humorously.

"Look Liv,i can-"

"I don't want to hear it Alex,I only let you bring your friends over yesterday because you pleaded,what gave you the damn right to bring a girl into my house without my consent!"I yelled angrily.

"Ok calm down Liv,she was insisting that we do it at my house as usual but you know i don't have the access to my house,i would have called you if i had your number and also you were no where to be seen so i couldn't reach out to you"He said.

"I don't care whatever excuse you have Alex,you should have waited for my permission,i hope you haven't forgotten this is my house and we go by my rules!"I yelled furiously.

"And who said we'll go by your rules?i was even trying to reason with you but seems like you just won't listen,you always want everything to go according to you,you always want to have your way in everything,you want things to always be done by you,for you and as you say,which is very selfish of you, someone needs to tell you off for your obnoxious and pesky behavior, I'm done with your nonsense"He yelled back in rage and i clapped my hands in humour.

"Wow Alex,wow,great speech,i think you deserve the award for the best spoken idiot of the year, I'm sure if you run for the election of the most stupid being on earth you'll win,you say I'm always bossy and wanting things to go my way, really? You're the selfish and greedy one here who always want to have your way with girls, it's just my bad luck that I'm stuck here living with you in my damn house but i won't tolerate any nonsense from you,the next time you bring someone to my house without my consent I'll-"

"You'll what?what will you do Olivia?"He dared.

"Are you daring me right now?"I glared at me.

"What if i am? what are you gonna do about it?"He asked.

"Oh you're asking for it right now Alex and I'll give it to you" I threatened.

"Just get lost Olivia"He said pushing past me as he headed upstairs.

No Alex, I'm not done with you just yet!.

I trailed after him, pulling him back by his collar but he was fast to swift motion and i was now the one being trapped in between his arms,pinned against my room door.

"Let go of me Alex!"I screamed.

"Why?but it seems you enjoy  being around me,infact i think you want me so close that our souls begin to touch"He smirked stupidly and i tried pushing his hard rock body off me but he wasn't bulging.

"You're highly mistaking Alex,what makes you think that I'll ever wanna get close to you,even the sight of you disgusts me"I said.

"Oh really?"He smirked.

"Yeah?"I said in a duh tone.

"Sweetheart,all you need to do is just say the words and we can do it,just once and i promise to go easy on you"He winked and i snorted in an unladylike manner.

"Ew?"He said unsurely.

"You know what else you're gonna be ewing at?"I started "When i get my knees up your-"

"Okay calm down babygirl,why the rush? I know you girls by now and given by the amount of relationship I've been in-"

"Still in"I corrected.

"Whatever, it's not nice to interrupt when your elders are talking"He said.

"And who's my elder?"I asked.

"As far as I'm concerned,your birthday is in two months from now which makes me three months older than you,so I'm your elder and stop interrupting me when I'm talking!"He barked "Now as i was saying,i know you girls by now given by the amount of relationships I've been in,i know that you girls like playing hard to get and always say the opposite of what you mean"He smirked and drew his face closer to mine, beaming at me,he smirked at me to which i simpered back and then i did the most obvious and stupid thing, i twisted the door knob behind me without Alex noticing.

Totally a wrong decision because the door flung open and we both fell down backwards with me landing on the floor with Alex untop of me.

I winced in pain as i pushed Alex off me.

"Ouch!"I cried.

"Psycho!why did you do that?"He asked as he got up.

"Because that was the only thing to do in order to keep your stupid self away from me,now help me up"I yelled angrily glaring at him.

"I won't"He smirked.

"Hey Alex! I'm not joking,get me up!"I yelled.

"Why would i?you were the one that put yourself in that situation so get yourself out"He said,turning to leave but then stopped on his track.

"I think i like the pink bra"He smirked, walking off and then i averted my eyes down to my boobs already shot out revealing my pink bra. I immediately covered up and dragged myself up to my feet hesitantly.

***

"Hey Zoe"I said approaching her but she shut her locker on me and walked away.

"Hey why are you ignoring me!"I yelled, running after her.

"Because i no longer wanna be friends with self obsessed and selfish people like you who always makes themselves the center of attention all the time,you always complain about Alex being full of himself but guess what? you're both alike in every way possible and you're both self obsessed and greedy, you don't ever care about what others think,all you care about is yourself!"She said.

"Hey Zoe,why are you talking to me in this manner?"I asked calmly.

"Because that's exactly what you are but i don't think you'll ever understand that fact"She said, walking away.

Great!now even my friend has turned up against me.

"Hey Liv,what happened,why did Zoe walk away like that?"Jane asked, running up to catch up with me.

"I don't know, she's probably still angry with me about yesterday"I said.

"Oh that, don't worry I'll talk to her, I know her anger is just temporary,just let her be for the time being"She said.

"I guess you're right"I smiled weakly.

"Come on, let's go to class"She said, pulling me along with her as we went over to our classroom.

For the first time since the past one year I've known Zoey,i saw hee sitting across the classroom with Sabrina and some other girls.

"Don't worry about it Liv, she's probably just acting in accordance to her anger, it'll subside soon okay?"Jane assured but i wasn't satisfied with what she said.

Something about Zoey's behavior was off and i wasn't about to loose my closest friend because of some dumb pointless argument, we've had our issues in the past but it never got this ugly to an extent that she doesn't wanna sit with me anymore.

I stood up and marched over to hee new seat,i pulled her up and dragging her out of the classroom with her screaming loudly for me to let her gom She struggled against my grip but i wasn't listening to her screams as i took her to our usual hangout,Jane came running behind us and then i shut the door close facing Zoey.

"What the actual hell?"She yelled, folding her arms

"Look Zoe,i know you're still angry at me for yesterday and I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you,i know i can be annoying and authoritative most of the time but i wouldn't ever wanna loose my best friend over such a trivial matter"I said.

"Trivial?you call it trivial?look Liv, I've had just about enough of your nonsense,you always keep blaming things on others and you keep acting like your opinion is the only thing that should ever matter,i always keep quiet because i don't wanna ruin our friendship but it's high time i let you know that this behavior of yours is intolerable and unacceptable"She yelled.

"I said I'm sorry"I said.

"No you're not sorry, you always do this, you'll keep doing it because it's in your nature to feel untop" She yelled.

"Hey come on babe,she said she's sorry already,why do you have to prolong the issue?"Jane cut in.

"Prolong the issue? I'm only stating the obvious here,she has to know that i strongly disagree with her behavior and i honestly don't accept it anymore"Zoey said.

"But she's already apologized hasn't she? what's wrong with you Zoe?"Jane asked.

"You know what?fine then,do as you please,i don't care"I said, leaving the room making sure to slam the door shut behind me.

As i was on my way down the hall i bumped into Cade who was glaring at me.

"What?"I asked furiously, pushing him away from my way as i walked past him but he yanked me back to face him.

"Not so fast"He said.

"Haven't you learned already to stop disturbing me? seems like the beating i gave you last time wasn't enough,you want more right?"I said angrily.

"Hey hey hey,calm down, I'm not here to batter words with you,i only wanted to apologize"He said.

"Apologize?"I asked.

"Yeah,i guess i was wrong to have forced myself on you, I'm not that kind of a guy and I'm sorry"He said to my surprise.

"Whoa,i didn't expect this"I said surprisedly.

"I know, I'm sorry okay?"He said.

"It's alright, I'm also sorry for not keeping my part of the deal,all i wanted at that time was to get back at Alex for what he did, I'm sorry for fooling you"I said.

"It's okay,so.....friends?"He stretched forth his arms and i stared at it blankly, eyeing him wearily and unsurely.

"Um...."I started.

"Common Liv,just friends,i promise i won't do anything stupid again,and if i do i know you'll put me back in my place"He teased.

"Fine,friends we are"I said.

"So...my new friend,can i know what's bothering you?Why did you look so furious a while ago?"He asked.

"Just some issues with my friend"I said as we walked down the hall.

"Let me guess,you guys had a fight"He said.

"Yeah and it wasn't funny this time"I said.

"Mind telling me the problem?i might be of some help you know"He shrugged.

"No don't bother yourself, I'm cool"I said.

"Come on Olivia, don't be so stubborn,just tell me what happened"He said.

"I said it's nothing, I'm good, don't worry yourself"I said, walking further away from him but he caught up with me just in time.

"Fine then,if you say so,i hope that whatever it is,you solve it soon, it's not nice to have issues with your friends, I've seen you guys friendship and i know you guys can't do without each other so try to apologize whether or not you're the one at fault"He said.

"I tried that already but it was of no use"I sighed.

"Then try again,i have a suggestion"He winked.

"What?"I asked, staring blankly at him.

***

I pulled over at Zoey's driveway, turning off my ignition,i got out of the car and walked majestically towards hee front door. I pressed the door bell and within few minutes her nanny came opening the door, smiling sweetly at me.

"Hey Matilda"I greeted.

"Hey Sweetie,Zoe is not at home"She said and i could see the hesitation in her voice.

"Sure" I smirked and walked past her into the big mansion,i walked up to Zoey's room with Matilda following behind me.

"I said she isn't at home"Matilda said running after me.

"And i heard you"I said as i arrived at Zoey's room,i knocked on the door and Zoey's voice came responding from the other side of the door.

"I'm not home!"She yelled and i chuckled, pulling the door open as i went in to see Zoey curled up on her bed with her pillow.

I heard Matilda mouth 'I tried my best' and then i smiled at her,waving her off.

I walked over to Zoey who was still on her bed staring at me void of emotion.

"Hey Zoey,stop being pathetic already"I said as i sat down beside her.

"Go away, I don't wanna talk to you"She pouted like a 2 year old and i chuckled slightly.

"Are you still angry with me?"I asked.

"Yes" She said and i smiled at her.

"Well i don't think you'll still be angry when you see what i got for you" I said, pulling out a paper bag from my backpack as i handed it over to her.

"What's this?" She asked as she took a peep into the bag and then gasped in shock.

It was a glass shoe she has always wanted,I had ordered it and payed three times the price to get it delivered all the way from germany.

"OMG Liv,you got it for me"She squealed excitedly hugging me.

"Does that mean I'm forgiven?"I winked.

"2%"She giggled.

"2%?why two percent?" I pouted.

"Because you took so long to come to me,i was waiting all day for you to come and apologize but you didn't come" She whined.

"Oh so this was your plan?what if i hadn't come?" I asked.

"I knew you would,you love me that much"She teased.

"Okay yeah yeah,you should actually give all credits to Cade, he's the one that brought up the idea,he said i should get you something i knew you wouldn't resist so i ordered this shoe all the way from germany, paying triple the price and shipping fee to get it delivered today" I said.

"Awwn, you're such a darling,but wait,Cade?"She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yep,long story"I said.

"Tell me all about it"She said "In detail"She added and i told her everything as she kept laughing.

I knew i had my best friend back,just few hours of not talking to her got me so worked up.

"I missed you"She pouted.

"I missed you more"I said and she hugged me.

"Hey don't ever do this again or else I'll break your Jaw"I warned teasingly and we both laughed.
