the alpha female and he's the alpha male. You're a piece of Irish trash who needs to learn her place, got it, Ginger?" she said. I smirked and walked up to Ben.
"Hey," I smiled, then leaning in so only he would hear, "I need to piss off a certain bitch; just go along with it," he looked at me with a knowing look and wrapped his arms around me. I pressed up closer to him, wrapped my arms around his neck and planted my lips on his. The class was in an uproar.
"Thanks," I murmured over the wolf-whistles and outbursts of pissed girls.
"Anytime," he said and softly kissed my cheek. The bell rang and I took my seat. A note landed on my desk.
*What the hell?*
I furiously scribbled *shove off, this doesn't concern you* and tossed it back to Mila. It landed on my desk again, but I completely ignored it. When the bell rang, I ran out of the classroom and went to my locker. I never learned the combination even though I had the same locker every year. It's not that I didn't want to, it's that I couldn't physically remember it.
"What the hell," Mila said, walking up right behind me.
"What the hell do you want?" I snapped, "It's my life and he's my boyfriend,"
"You've been with him less than a week!"
"Oh, so excuse me for calling him my boyfriend. Obviously I have to run this shit by you,"
"No, but do you remember what happened between me and Chas?"
"That was your deal! Not mine! Yeah, yeah, I should learn from your mistakes, but you know what? They're _your_ mistakes, not mine! I should learn from _my_ mistakes, so back off!"
"Do you ever think that maybe those mistakes were made so you could benefit from them?"
"Do you ever think that I don't really give a fuck because we are completely different people?" I retorted. This was getting out of hand.
"Do you even think? Do you even function like me and Lamai do?" That was my weakness. It's like she shot a magic arrow that was able to weave its way through my veins until it found my heart. I shut down and just stared at her blankly. I could see her mouth moving and the anger in her eyes, but it all meant nothing to me. Suddenly she lashed out and punched the locker right next to mine.
Josh came up and started talking to Mila. I was too stunned to hear anything. He kept looking from me back to Mila. He scratched his head and that was when I noticed some ink on his wrist; he had gotten the L4L tattoo. Mila let him get the L4L tattoo without telling any of us. And she was getting pissed at me for kissing a guy? Where was the justice in that?
I felt someone gently leading me away. Ben was looking at me with sad confused eyes. I opened my mouth to say something, but all that I could manage to do was cry. He hugged me and walked me towards my bus.
"I'll see you tonight at the library?" he asked.
"Hey," I smiled, then leaning in so only he would hear, "I need to piss off a certain bitch; just go along with it," he looked at me with a knowing look and wrapped his arms around me.
