" I swear if that bastard crosses out path again, I'll end him" Chloe growled her eyes blazing with fury. Sierra breathless but still moving, glanced over her shoulder
" Forget him for now, we'll deal with that jerk later. Right now we need to make it to class before Mrs Hart. she picked up speed , shoes slapping against the hallway tiles like warning shots. Chloe hesitated rage still crackling under her skin then she took off.
" Chloe, Sierra— you guys are late " Frasphita called from his sit with a smug grin. Though luck for you Mrs Hart is not here yet . Chloe raised an eyebrow, " Yeah we know, what's with the smirk?".
"Oh that?" He leans casually against the sit. Just thinking about how Alivan and I wrecked a couple of cocky boys at the club last night" Sierra let out a sharp yet short hiss through her teeth. Frasphita noticed " What was that" he asked arching a brow." Jealous".
Sierra crossed her arms, " No, I just hate that jerk " Frasphita tilted his head intrigued.
"Really, and what exactly did Alivan do to earn this hatred?" ". Sierra lips tighten something sharp and unreadable crossed her face like a storm behind her calm eyes. "Well we all know the answer, he's one rude brat, so full of himself". Sierra said packing her books getting ready to move towards the lecture hall, Chloe nodding in a mix of exasperation and amusement. Just as they were about to leave they heard noise from outside . Sierra rolled her eyes muttering under breath "Of course, he's here to make and entrance" Chloe let out a small chuckle. Not long long noises were heard outside , Frasphita knew right then that the man had arrived,the devil they had been talking about.
Back in the hallway, it buzzed with excitement, students gathered whispering and giggling about his looks.
"God he's cute"
" His beauty never fades"
"I love his lips "
"Just date me once"
"Kiss me"
Mostly girls as they stared at him coming out from his car l, the comment flew around like confetti each feeding his massive ego . And then he walked pass them not caring , obviously basking in the attention. Till she walked pass him. She didn't speak, she didn't turn, she didn't react. And that—that silence echoed louder than the cheers .
Amongst the crowd he craved her attention,her acknowledgement that he was cute and rich, it was deniable. And he knew it too .He carried himself like someone who heard it a thousand time. But still he needed to hear it again, not from the crowd,not from the noise but from her. He hates to admit it, but it was true. Hearing her say he was cute mattered more than he'd ever confess.
Don't get it twisted this wasn't one of those cheesy romance novel where the arrogant guy falls in love with the girl, just because this girl won't feed his ego .Nope Alivan had made this clear 'this is totally different, it's not about love. It's about control,power, validation. And maybe she was right . Everytime someone gushed over him, it fueled his ego he had carefully built. Yet she gave him nothing. Chloe nudged her "He hates that you know" she whispered " when someone doesn't give in to him.
She stopped and glanced at him and he turned his his head slightly as if expecting her to give in . She paused but didn't turn right away no smile or anything, still she said nothing.
Then without a word, she walked away, straight backed, calm and unbothered. Like he was just another face in the crowd. And then it strucked him, she wasn't just different, she was the only one he couldn't figure out.
"Hey you,the blonde " Alivan said indirectly calling trouble to himself. "Oh he's calling you" Chloe said. She finally turned to him fully raising an eyebrow like she was bored. " I have a name " gasped filled the hallway.
"Didn't know, you know not all animals have names. He smirked, students brought out their phones recording. This was about to be huge.
"Like you right" she shot back without missing a beat . He stiffened " Who said I was an animal" he asked voice dropping low with irritation.
"Oh is the animal getting angry" she mocked, "wait he even barked" Another gasps, some students laughed, others just stared wide eyed. " Oh what a nice name"
"Wow nice one, Alivan the dog "
" Imagine that being one of the title of those kindergarten story book. Such a nice name" Sierra continued with mock sweetness.
"Let's head out first before the dog joins us". Sierra turned to Chloe who was trying not to laugh too hard . Sierra casually took her hand ."let's go" she said brushing past him .
" Ladies first". The hallway erupted. No one saw that coming not even him.

12:45 pm
" Wow, who knew Sierra had such guts , yeah don't get me wrong, you and I know that she loves hiding in that little shell of hers." I told Hailey a friend of mine who had seen the video.
"Is that Hailey? let me speak to her ". Sierra said pulling the phone from my hand .
* * * * *
" Hailey's crazy, how could she tell me to fight with dog Alivan" Sierra said irritation clear in her voice.
"But seriously I was shocked. I mean you've never done that before like standing up to any guy before. It's like the first time and your first time made him speechless. Damn girl. I think the after school military training is affecting you, and I think I love it .Yeah" I said with smiles all over my face obviously proud.
" Yeah, me too though I got shocked for a while, but damn I'm in fuck'en shit right now" Sierra said staring at her phone horror evident in her pale blue eyes.
"What type of shit" I asked
" Well, Alivan said I should stay off his sight tomorrow both in school and..."
"So" I cut her off
" I'm not afraid though that doesn't scare me" she said, the phone pinged again and I took it from her...
