My Roommate, My worst Nightmare

Chapter 8....*Speak of the Devil*

 ||*ALEXIA*||

The week went by slowly and I was glad I was able to avoid Tobias that Thursday and Friday. I saw him on Friday though but it was from a long distance and he didn't seem to be interested in bothering me. I guess maybe because pipsqueak has been a lot more clingy than usual, as a matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised if she wakes up tomorrow and tell me she is into girls, because she is way too clingy.

She has tried convincing me to come visit me at my apartment but, hell no, I am not letting that freak near my house. What if she tries something funny? I'm not homophobic but I am not letting her closer than she is at the moment.

I woke up this morning with a nerve-racking migraine. I was so busy cleaning and doing my assignments during the weekend that I had little time to rest, to make it worst Pipsqueak had to drag me with her on Sunday for shopping.

I asked her what connection she had with the daredevil and she shrugged it off saying; it was nothing important. I did not believe her but just went with the flow, as long as it will keep daredevil from bullying me often then I'm in.

I bounced into the bathroom, did my business, my morning exercise, got dressed and ran out, hoping to catch the bus. That's what I get for waking up late. I’ve been waking up late since I smashed my alarm clock on the wall last Monday.

Stupid temper.

I got to school right on time and as usual the infamous Pipsqueak was leaning on the wall waiting for me, sometimes I wish I could avoid her. I walked up to her and see she was, on the phone with someone.

I caught on to some of the conversation, like she was yelling at someone to stay away from a certain person. Well, none of my business.

She hurriedly ended the call the moment she noticed me. Okay, that's weird, what's she hiding? I shrugged it off and went to say hi.

"Hey morning, pip," I greeted as I got to her.

“Yo, beautiful, how are you doing?"

"Who were you yelling at on the phone?" I asked, testing the waters 

"Oh, that was no, one, just some family issue, my brother being a jerk as usual." She said.

 I know she has a twin brother, but according to what she's told me about him, he is more of a troublemaker and they don't get along that well. I don't know how it feels to have siblings though, so I don't understand why they don't get along. Just as she was about to leave, the bell rang for first period and I hurried off to my class.

I haven't seen Daredevil so far and I'm pleased. First period went by slowly and so was my second class AP biology, I had a free period after biology, so I used that time to study in the library ahead of my next class, which is statistics.

Walking down the hallway, I made a sharp turn to my left and headed down the corridor towards the library. It was deserted, mainly because everyone was in class, and that was exactly what I needed. I hate the attention and stares I get from the other students.

I walked further down the corridor and got to the library entrance, swiped my library card on the card reader and I pushed my way in. To my utter surprise, no one was in the library. Oh, what a perfect day!

I made my way to my usual hideout spot in the library, which was at the far end behind the huge, big shelves. This place is always secluded because no one bothers to come this far to the library and I love it since I don't have to deal with some random students. I went to the bookshelf and took out two textbooks I think will be perfect for my studying and went to my desk, placed the books on it and my backpack resting on the armchair next to me.

After about an hour of studying, I took a break and eat lunch. I had lunch packed in, so I wouldn't have to go out to eat at the cafeteria or in one of the locker rooms. I brought out my lunch, which was hamburger and sprite, and slowly munched on it, a few minutes later I was done.

My aunt hasn't called me for a while now, not that we talk that much on phone but she has been kinda busy these, even when I try to call her, she always says she is busy and will call back but never does. 

 I was so lost in my thoughts that I had noticed no one coming into the library until someone slammed their fist on my desk, which had me jumping up in fright.

I was hyperventilating and looked like a scared kitten; the intruder looked at me in amusement and smirked like he just accomplished a lifetime mission. It was the devil himself.

"What got you so lost that you didn't notice me coming in?" He asked, as if he cared. 

"I-I-I was thinking about my aunt and why....." I trailed off.

"Save it, I don't care to know"

"Oh okay, sorry for telling you." I whispered, casting my head down.

"I see you made a new friend, I don't remember permitting you to have any other friends other than me"

"I..she..she isn't my friend, she just enjoys stalking me and talking to me and I can't just flip her off, but wait, are we friends?" I dared to ask, staring at him in surprise. When did we become friends?

"yes, what are we if not friends?"

"You bullying me at all times, how can I be friends with my bully, friends don't bully." I countered in annoyance.

 He laughed and scoffs

"Oh dear, I love your reaction every time I bully you, it's so entertaining, we're more like 'frenemies'. How about that?" He asked.

This guy is a psychopath. How can you enjoy hurting others?

"I don't want to be friends or frenemies, or anything with you, I just want to be free from you." I half yelled in his face.

 I think, I pissed him off as he slowly walked to me, and I kept retreating backwards. He suddenly slammed my head into the wall before pulling me up by my collar, saying.

"You'll be anything I want you to be. You like it or not, you have no choice to be otherwise. The earlier you get that stuck into your tiny brain, the easier it will be for you. Seeing as you've got enough guts to yell at me, you've grown within the few days I was away, I will be a pleasure to break you all over again and watch in amusement"

 I was whimpering and shaking. Can my day be any worse? Few hours ago I was having the moments of my life and within a few minutes, I got stuck in this awkward situation. 

How did he even know I would be here? Is he also stalking me? Oh, my goodness, I'm so done for. I don't know where I got the courage from, but I found my voice and spoke even if I was barely above a whisper.

"You can hit me as much as you want, you can try hard to break me, but there is nothing you can do to me that will ever break me. Nothing you do will break me, because you're just a spoiled little brat seeking attention. I bet your family members are sick and tired of your antsy patsy. That's why you're taking out all the aggression on me. Newsflash it won't and will never break me, it will only strengthen me, so get that stuck into your leaking brain and shove a stick up your ass for all I care. "  

By the time I was done, I was panting for breath and couldn’t believe what I just said. I smiled mentally. At least, I got to tell him a piece of my mind.

He smiled at me, though I saw confusion and utter surprise on his face. I guess he didn't see that coming. He pulled me closer with his left arm wrapped around my waist, and nibbled on my ears.

I wiggled,  trying to get out of his grasp, but it was all futile. He slapped my ass cheek and squeezed it a little, immediately my whole body tensed up and I stiffened. He smirked and whispered in my ear.

"Well, well, well, let's see how long and what it'll take to break you, seeing as you now have the guts to talk back at me, this will be so much fun and interesting."

He pushed hard against the wall, slapped my cheek so hard that I banged my head against the wall, he kicked my side, and I felt something break. He then squatted down where I had slumped and raised my chin up with his hand.

"Now that's for talking back at me b***h, next time you keep your thoughts to yourself," He spat angrily.

He laughed so loud and kicked me once more. I felt blood running out my nose, my vision became blurry as I raised my head and saw his retreating figure. It felt like my entire world was on fire.

I heard someone scream before darkness enveloped me and I blacked out.
