Bring it on, Nasty!!

Chapter 8

Maira

As soon as I come home the first thing I do is let my blog followers know that my book slump is over.

I know I owe them an apology for not reviewing any books or not uploading any videos for as long as I had.

Given my technical skills which are no good my blog's appearance is not exactly stellar . It's pretty average though and I have decent number of followers .

As soon as I type the words :

I finally slayed the ugly book slump monster.

The comments start pouring in almost immediately :

So good to know that : )

What book will you be reading?

Been waiting to watch your videos

Can't wait for your review....

My time flies by in a pleasant manner.

I inform my followers that I'll soon start one of the latest books, That had apparently taken the book reading community worldwide by storm ( Which I also happen to have seen in the new arrivals in my school library ). Depending on the size of the book I will finish it within two or three days max.

No sooner do I close my laptop ,Rachel and Renee come into my room

" So , How was your first day ? " Rachel asks concerned

" You know how half of it was " I say with a sigh.

" What about the other half ?" Renee chimes in " We heard you had a brush with Celeste and it wasn't good "

" Some one needs to point that girl to the nearest mental asylum " I say angrily .

And tell them what happened.....

Soon after my cousins left after lunch I head to next class.

I was by the door when someone suddenly pushed me from behind so hard I would have cracked my head on the nearest desk if I hadn't put out my hands to stop the contact at the last moment " How dare you? " I hear a high pitched shriek

Turing around I see a gorgeous blonde with stunning curves and her long legs on full display in a mini- Miniskirt and her top has a neckline that I have no doubt violates the school's dress code. Not that I'm being judgey or anything , I'm just stating the obvious

What has she got against me of all the people ?

" How dare you " The girl shrieks again " How dare you try to get cozy with Ambrose "

I suppress a groan understanding now.This is his crazy ex .

It's just my luck to have my first day practically ruined by a guy and then be subjected to a fit of jealousy by his crazy ex .

" I have nothing to do with him" I say in a dismissive manner not wanting any more trouble I alrrady had, I had my fill of it in the first period itself " He was the one troubling me in the first place "

" Troubling you " The girl laughs sarcastically " Ambrose wouldn't even look twice at a girl like you ," She looks at me up and down with distaste " Seriously what are you even wearing? "

That's it ! I lose it!

How dare she talk to me like this?

" What are you wearing? " I say back equally venomous " Handkerchief ? " I ask " Oh !wait even my handkerchief is larger than what you are wearing " I say (though I don't have any handkerchief ) " And from what I heard Ambrose dumped you so obviously he isn't giving you any second looks, ,but other guys...." I say gesturing to the people beginning to fill in the class " They surely will give you more than second looks " I'm on a roll now letting out all my anger on the girl who deserves it

" What more will you do now to get his attention ? Wrap yourself in a tissue paper tomorrow? "

"You...You how dare you " The girl's voice shakes with anger and her lips tremble but apparently she is too shocked to retort back because she haughtily throws her hair back over her shoulder and walks away from me hiss a promise " I'll show you your place "

" Not before I show you yours " I angrily yell back at her.

" I blew away my chances of making any friends " I say putting my face between my hands . Rachel pats ,e sympathetically

" Thanks to all this everyone at school will think I'm a thug . I'll be a loner "

" You will have during lunch " Renee adds " But before and after that yes, you'll be a alone " She says I'm sure in her way to sympathize with me but Boy! truth really is a harsh pill to swallow

Rachel quickly tells her sister to shut up , " Things will change with time, Miara " she says to me wisely

And surprisingly they do the next day.

I don't see Ambrose in my first class which is reason enough for me to hope that my day will look up.

In his place today beside me sits a very pretty black girl with shiny black hair and a very sweet and gentle smile named Alicia

" Ms. Gracemer after seeing your previous school records I have found out that while your performance in other subjects is very good , It is not as satisfactory in Organic chemistry "

The teacher was sugar coating things . My performance in Organic chem was not ' Not satisfactory ' It was downright horrible .

"Ms. Bennett here is a very nice student and hope sure won't mind helping you "

Seeing the girls genuine warm smile I don't even feel embarrassed " I'll help you " She says readily taking the seat beside me and I can't shake away the feeling that I have found a new friend.

Though Alicia and me have to go to separate classes after first period we catch up with eachother again in the library. I get my library card made and with a crazily excited grin which is so wide I guess It's scares the people around me I pick up the book which has been on my mind since yesterday.

I wasn't wrong about today being a nice day .

My next class goes smoothly too until my bladder suddenly decides that it wants to use the loo, out of the blue and Urgently . Very urgently . I quickly stand up to leave

" Ms. Gracemer where do you think you are going " The teacher asks me glaring from behind his glasses

" I need to use the bathroom " I say miserably

Frowning he looks he looks down at his wrist watch " There are 15 minutes for lunch . You can go then . This lesson is very important ,you should....." 15 minutes ! 15 minutes !In my current situation it seems like an eternity !!

" It's girl's problem" I blurt out

A light flush creeps up the teachers face but before he can say anything I race out of the class with my bursting bladder .

In my hurry to reach the washroom I collide on the side with someone and would have face planted smack against the floor if not for a strong arm wrapping around my waist and stopping my fall.

With my heart hammering from the run and my near fall ,My eyes slowly follow up the strong arm , Then the muscular torso clad in black and then the face and that awfully familiar smirk

" Going somewhere princess ? "

Oh No! No! no !no !no !Not him !!

"None of your business " I manage to say

He quirks an eyebrow and before I can move away I realize he had me trapped .

My back is against the wall and he is right in front of me . His hands though not touching me are pressed against the wall on either sides of my shoulders

" I....I need to go " I stammer when he moves in further close ,so close , There is only a thin column of air separating us , I can sense the warmth coming off his body and his smell which is woody and at the same time the pleasant smell of wet earth when it has recently rained invades my senses .

My heart picks up a strange quick rhythm when he bends his face lower and our eyes connect and some sort of electricity that had been lying dominant in the air suddenly sparks to life as his brown ones meet with mine . There is something so intense in his eyes that when he looks at me it steals my breath away . His dark eyes drink in my face as if in a slow caress and slowly lands on my lips.As if on their own will my lips part in anticipation.

His eyes simmer like brown fire as he moves his face further close. My eyes flutter close and I sense him coming closer , closer and closer yet until I feel his lips against my ear, his warm breath sending shivers across my skin as he speaks ,"Take care of yourself, princess .Or there will be no fun in torturing you "

My eyes snap open and even before my strangely muddled brain can formulate a response he is already by the end of the hallway

" You jerk ! " I yell at him across the distance , he laughs as he walks away

" That's so unladylike ,Princess "

Princess ! Princess ! Princess ! I want to rip his tongue out. And now that I'm free of whatever stupor he had me in my body suddenly and with a vengeance decided to remind me that I have a bursting bladder to attend to . Fortunately I reach the girl's washroom before any embarrassing disaster can occur .

Lunch comes and goes . I catch up with Rachel and Renee and when the hour ends they head off to their class and I wearily drag my feet to the Astronomy class .

Knowing that a certain brown eyed hot jerk would be sitting right behind me.

I stiffen when he pokes me in the back with a pen and turn over my shoulder to glare at him the first time. But he smirks at me devilishly.

And I guess he had figured out very clearly that it is annoying me and now he is enjoying to do that to me repeatedly .

Damn him!

Gritting my teeth I try my best to ignore him, but that doesn't deter him in the least.

Ms. Riley starts speaking in front of the class " I expect you all to turn in your assignments by tomorrow...." Her eyes fall on me " You too Ms.Gracemer "

I blink confused. I joined this school just yesterday ,

I hardly open my mouth to tell her this fact but she launches into a lecture " This is your final year in high school . Despite your late admission I expect you to be serious "She says with her stern eyes on me " This assignment can help you gain marks .And good marks means good grades and good grades means a good college "

Wow! No pressure

" I urge you to turn in your assignment along with your classmates "

Everyone here had God knows how long of a deadline to turn in their assignments and here I was given barely few hours.

I open my mouth again to say how unfair this but Mrs.Riley shakes her head at me disapprovingly " I do not like it when my students make excuses "

Dammit ! This isn't an excuse.

I mentally yell at her while silently seething with rage

"Enjoy your assignment " I feel another poke from behind.

I grit my teeth harder.

No sooner did the guy turn up in school my perfectly nice day went to hell.

He was a Walking, talking ,breathing Bringer of bad luck
