Chapter 50 - 50

It was lunchtime and the cafeteria was already full with students trying to get their food. Others who were already eating their food were making small talk as they ate. I made my way to our table with Zane and Kye, I was in a terrible mood and the last thing I wanted was to endure any teases from them.

"Say, Zane, don't you think our baby is being a little overdramatic. Brandon was just being friendly with Scar and he is acting like he found his wife cheating on him with the next-door neighbor," Kye stated.

"I don't think he overreacting, Brandon had no right to fraternize with the enemy like that. Reiner has every right to be jealous," Zane said. It might sound like he is on my side but believes me he isn't. He is mocking me just like his boyfriend.

I know that I don't have the right to be jealous but I can't help it. I just can't stand seeing Brandon be so friendly with those girls.

"Can I sit here," I heard and looked up? Brandon and some nerd kid whose name I don't remember were standing with their trays at our table asking for permission to sit with us.

"Sure, it will be our honor to have you with us," Zane said.

They sat down. Everyone ate their food while making conversation, I concentrated on my food and ignored having him sitting so close to me.

"Hey Brandon," we all had again. She doesn't even wait to be invited to sit down and sits right next to Brandon. " I was wondering if I could borrow your notes since you are so ahead in everything," she says putting her hand around Brandon's hand.

"Sure, I can give it to you after lunch."

"Can't you do your work?" I blurted out. Everyone at the table stopped eating and stared at me. "What are you looking at, I was just asking."

"That wasn't very polite Reiner," she said and I scoffed.

"If you want polite then why don't you attend an etiquette school," I fired back.

"How dare you."

"Yo..." I began to say but stopped when I felt a hand on mine under the table. My heart thumped in my chest, his hand electrified me. I looked down to see whose hand it was and realized that it was Brandon holding my hand.

His hand was so warm and soft, I brushed his hand away and got up and left the cafeteria. Even after walking away, my heart was still beating very fast in my chest. I head over to the washroom and look at myself in the mirror, my face was so red.

I poured water on my face and took deep breaths to calm my heart. I got a napkin and dried my face, the water helped me return to my normal. I turned around to leave the washroom.

"Ahh," I screamed as someone pushed me against the wall. I heard the door being locked and looked up, my breath hitched when I saw Brandon standing so close to me. Holding me up against the wall.

"Who gave you the right to walk away from me?" he asked me seeming angry. I was too dazed looking at him that I didn't find the voice to answer him. "What gave you the right to remove my hand like that?" he asked again.

His hand brushed the hair that was on my face away bringing me out of my trance. "Let me go," I said trying to get away from him.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave?"

"I don't want to see your face," I replied. He tightened his hold on me and pinned me to the wall.

"Is that so," he said. I opened my mouth to respond and froze when I felt his lips on mine. He kissed me. My mind went blank and I think I saw fireworks above his head. His lips felt so warm against mine and for some reason, the kiss felt right like we belonged together.

"You are mine, the sooner that you accept that. The better it will be for the both of us," he whispered in my ear. I frowned at his words.

"And if I refuse?" I asked him daringly.

"Then I will kiss you in front of the whole school," he said giving me a sinister smile. "Will you be my boyfriend?" he asked.

"No," I replied.

"Okay," he said and let me. I opened the door and walked away. He grabbed my hand and pulled me with him in the direction of the cafeteria.

"Hey, where are taking me?" I asked him trying to get my hand from his hold but he was holding me too tightly.

"Everyone is in the cafeteria right now so I am going to kiss you there," he said.

I shuddered with fear at the thought of what he was suggesting. My whole body trembling at what will happen if he does kiss me in front of the whole school like that.

"Please don't," I pleaded in a shaky emotional voice. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to face me with a worried look in his eyes. "I will be your boyfriend so please don't do that."

"Rein, are you okay?"

"Please don't do it," I begged him.

He let go of my hand and I ran off, I left the school ground, got in my car, and drove off. Tears of despondency slowly cascaded down my cheeks, leaving me so weak. My shaking hands tighten around the steering wheel and I increase the speed of the car.

I stop the car and get down. I stop a taxi and get, I throw all the money in my pocket at him. "Drive me around until all the money is used up," I said to him and closed my eyes in the backseat. My heart still won't calm down from the incident earlier.

I kept my hand over my heart, I thought of a happy thought to relax. My mind took me back to that night in the woods with the fireflies and the kiss. I opened my eyes as my hands stopped shaking.
