I'm so pissed. Literally. Pissed.
What was that? I didn't know they can do that to other people, especially that they are just our visitors, we should be at least thankful because the practice match turned well and because of that, I felt, embarassed, probably too embarass to face them.
I was raise by my family by respect and human equality, not because we have different status in life or such and what they did back there was totally not fine with me they still have feelings and I feel a lot more embarassed because those people might think that I'm abusing my power as 'his' girlfriend.
I frowned when I remember what happened earlier, I feel so sick. My phone keeps ringing but I didn't bother answering it.
"Sure you don't wanna answer that?" Annie asked.
"Why bother, he can live without me" I rolled my eyes and fixed my uniform.
We just finished our dinner and now it's time for our extra classes, base on our schedule, we are about to dismiss around 9, so I think I can rest early after it.
"Yeah sure, you should go now then, class is starting" she said while fixing her self to bed.
"Okay, good night Annie" I said and grabbed my bag.
"Good night, and good luck!" she replied then I stepped out the room and closing the door, locking it.
A frown escaped my lips when I met his burning gaze at me, why is he- nevermind probably for not answering his calls the entire day.
"Cursetine..." he called softly but I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Leave me alone" I said bluntly making him sigh.
I was about to walk away but he held my arm to prevent me from doing so, I shook my arm to remove his hold but it just got more tighter causing me to whine in pain.
"Let me at least explain" his voice is calm but I can sense that his patience is running thin and I don't want to get in trouble so I stopped fighting back.
He slowly let go of my hand and stepped forward to me, I lifted my head to stare at his unreadable dark eyes with my arms crossed in front of my chest.
"What?" I demanded, he shook his head before turning to the railings and leaned over there, watching a few ladies walking up and down the stairways with their busy actions.
"It wasn't my doing, I didn't even know what happened ealier, it was Sofia who reported the matter" he said.
"And you didn't bother stopping them? Even tho you knew that I'll be upset by this?" I questioned.
"It was too late, what do you want me to do? It's the first Card we're talking about here, do you think I have enough power to oppose his orders?" He complied.
"D*mn your excuses" I irritately stomped my feet.
"Cursetine..." he warned.
"No! What they did to those girls are unexceptable, what do you think the others will say? That I'm abusing the power of my boyfriend for being on the 4th Cards?!" I arugued.
"They harmed you, you and Loraine" he insisted.
"By words Ace, the punishment that was given to them was to have them electricute ten times- that's too much, I can't accept that" I coldly said and walked away.
"Tine..." he softly called but I didn't turn back until I entered the elevator.
I sighed and lean against the elevator wall, just seeing how those four girls looked like earlier really makes my blood boil and Ace didn't even think twice to help Joseph's group to do the punishment for them.
~Earlier after Louanne called~
"Well, do you know some girls from the other academy? They seem to be in trouble because the Core are giving them punishments" she looked around to see if someone is spying on her as she fiddled with her fingers cautiously.
"What? Where are they?" I asked immediately, I happened to remember what happened back in the hallway of the gym earlier, is she reffering to them?
"They're on the agony jail" she answered, I thanked her before running off to the said location.
I haven't been in the Agony Jail and today is my first time going there, I turn to the hallway that led to the Conference room of the Core society and knocked before opening the door.
"Yes dear?" One of the lower ranked teachers from the 9th Cards asked me.
"Good morning ma'am, can I go to the Agony Jail?" I asked.
"Wait, you're familiar- oh wait the first lady! Ha, finally!" she exclaimed.
My eyebrows raised on confusion, 'the first what now?'.
"Oh dear, the 1st Card was delighted upon knowing that mr. Salazar is finally dating someone" she giggled.
"Ah, first lady?" I asked.
"Oh, you don't know?" She asked softly and I shook my head in response, she smiled and swiftly stir her coffee.
"Well you are the 1st Lady so far, anyways, these only happens when someone from the Card Organization gets into a relationship with someone outside the Core, and that makes you the 1st ever Lady" she explained.
"But I-"
"Whether you like it or not, you'll be crowned as one, now you don't have to ask permission to go anywhere because you are free to do so" she finished her coffee in one go before standing up.
"If there's nothing else then I shall take my leave, excuse me" she smiles and walked past me.
Questions flooded my mind but I shook it off for a second and walked out the room, heading straight off to the Jail.
When I got there, I heard screams and pleads, my body went frozen, flashbacks from my traumatic summer vacation flooded my vision making my head dizzy as I held onto the wall.
'Come on Tine, that won't happened again, your mom said that she already eleminated her right? Get yourself together and see what is happening behind the door!'.
I took a deep breath and pushed the door open, my eyes widened when I saw the four girls sitting on the chair, their hands and feet tied on the metalic chair and Joseph's group are having fun electricuting them.
Metals are great attractions to electricity, just like water, it's voltage are increased once these things are released on those attraction and I can't imagine what pain does it effect the girls.
"T-tine..."
My eyes dropped down my feet and I felt something heavy crept behind me, he's also here, he knew that I have a trauma about violence and this action of his really disappointed me, he abused my trust on him.
"Let them go" I muttered, it was all silent, I look up and eyed them one by one, coldly and emotionless.
"Let. them. go." I repeated, they looked at each other before turning to Ace, he simply nod and they did release the four girls.
"Cursetine-" Pierce started.
"Leave" I said calmly.
"But-"
"Just fxcking leave!" I bursted out, startling everyone and they hurriedly assisted the injured girls out the room, leaving me with Ace.
"Babe-"
"I am so disappointed" I said, his eyes widen and I chuckled bitterly.
"You, you disappoint me Death" I sarcasly said with a mocking tone before turning my back to him and left.
But my eyes didn't miss the pain that crossed his face when I called him with his first name.
~end~
I blinked my eyes when the elevator opened, my sight was blurry to I rubbed my eyes when I felt something wet.
"Why am I crying?" I asked myself.
I quickly wiped it off, I hold on to my sling bag and left the building, it's already dark but there are lamp shades to give light on my way.
It feels so cold but the wind isn't blowing that hard, it felt different unlike the other times I went out.
I deep sigh left my lips as I fasten my pace up the main building until I reach our classroom, most of my classmates are already there, so are Sam and Liz, we greeted each other first before I settled down on my seat.
We're having math and history tonight and I need to put all my focus on the discussion. I tried my best to focus it seems like the words that came out of the teachers' mouth came in my right ear and exited on my left ear, I sighed harshly and just decided to copy what's written on the board.
Our class ended by 11, I weakly packed my things and went out with Sam and Liz, I guess they already knew what happened earlier because there's no Icer and Zen here with us.
"You seem off, still don't wanna talk to him?" Sam rubbed my back, I shook my head.
I rememver seeing the pain in his eyes earlier, I held my chest where my heart is located when I felt it clenched, what's happening to me?
"It's obvious that you guys need to talk about it, it can't go on like this" Liz said, I sighed.
"I know, just not now, I don't want to add more arguments, I think it's best to cool down for a moment" I frowned and they both smiled at me.
"Sure, take your time, we're here for you" Sam smiled at me and I nod.
I laid on my bed, wide awake, it's already 1 in the morning that means that it's already Sunday today, I messed my hair irritately and sat up, Annie is sleeping so deeply.
I stood up and walked towards my desk to get my headset and plugged it on my phone, I sat on my swivel chair and my mind started to wonder off.
It reminds me of my cousins, I checked my gallery and looked at our pictures, we may have different personalities and appearances, but our bloodline has a really strong bond just like how the color of our eyes glowed.
I scrolled to a couple more pictures and my eyes widened when his face suddenly popped out the screen, it was just a stolen shot I took last week, it was inside the classroom and he's talking to James and Icer.
He really is good looking at any angles. I bit my lower lip, maybe I was a little harsh earlier, I should consider his point and understand the situation, I let my anger consumed me so I yelled at him.
Something dropped on my lap as I look down, my eyes got blurry and I realized that I was crying once again, I quuckly wiped it off and sighed.
I stared at the ceiling for a while until I felt my eyes getting heavy and finally, I fell asleep.
~
"Come on Tine, it's not like you two broke up or what" Sam chuckled, I frowned at her and finished my breakfast.
Ace stopped messaging and calling me since our argument last night and it's kinda bothering me, well it was my fault to yell at him.
"Maybe he's just cooling down as well, so calm down" Loraine said and the other two nodded their heads.
A sigh left my lips as I took my hot cocoa and took a careful sip on the cup, infairness, we are conplete today. Even though I'm in a bad mood these girls really did their best to cheer me up.
The whole day, there was no sign of everyone from the Core Society, not even Ace, it was an unusual scenario for me because I'm use to see him almost everywhere even just from a far.
I blinked twice when I heard the bell rang, I sat up straight and look over the board just in time when the teacher came in.
Did I just survive a day without seeing him? Well that's a miracle, I look over my peripheral vision to get a little glance at him, he look so fine, he may not be in the best mood but it's good to see that he's taking care of him self.
I look back at the board and paid attention to our lesson.
The bell rang, indicating that it was already lunch time, I tiredly fix my things when my notebook suddenly fell, I frowned and sat down to pick it up, when I was about to stand, I accidentally hit my head on the desk.
I hissed and held the left side of my head, this is really furstrating. I felt my friends looking at me worriedly but I ignored them and finsihed fixinf my things.
"You two go ahead, I don't have any apettite to have my lunch" I told them.
"Okay, do you want me to bring you some milk and cheese bread then?" Sam asked, she really don't want me to skip meals huh?
To avoid more questions, I simply nod my head and give them a little smile before leaving the room. I walked towards the library and walked over to the math section, I still have to review the topics we had tackled last Saturday but sad to say, I didn't understand anything!
I sat on the floor and opened the my notebook, I scrolled to the book I picked a while ago to find some solution to the problems written on it, my furstration built up when the problem seemed to be complicated to answer and for the first time in my entire life, I found it...
Difficult...
I closed my eyes tightly and ran my hand over my hair harshly, why is this happening to me?
"It can't be that hard if you relax first"
My eyes shot open, that voice, I slowly lifted my gaze and eventually met his dark eyes staring softly at me, I suddenly threw myself at him startling him obviously cause he lost his balance and fell back but he instantly wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you" I softly sob and burried my face more into his chest, he simply chuckled and rubbed my back, he then planted a kiss on top of my head and his other hand brushed my hair.
"Hush now, it was my fault okay? I should be the one apologizing" He softly said but I didn't reply to him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings that time, I promise not to do that again, ever. I'm sorry, my love" he said, I sobbed more.
He just let me cry until my sobs subsided, I gently pushed him away and sat back down the floor while wiping my tears, he sat back up and shifted in front of me.
"Are you okay now?" He asked and I nodded.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean everything I said back then" I looked down and played with the hem of my skirt.
He didn't say a thing but instead, he lifted my chin so I can stare at his dark orbs and in an instant, I found his lips on mine, I closed my eyes and let myself drown on the kiss that lasted for a few second before he pulled away.
"I told you, it wasn't your fault" he smiled geniunely making me smile as well.
"So we're good now?" I asked, he chuckled and nod his head.
"Gosh you don't know how I missed you so much" he squeezed my hands that was on my lap.
I grinned and pulled my hands away from him and hugged him.
"Me too" I replied.
He hugged me back and we both fell silent for a while, he then start throwing some random jokes to make me laugh and the awkwardness disappeared in an instant.
"Stop, you're not a comedian" I retorted.
"Well you did laugh" he chuckled.
"Whatever Ace" I rolled my eyes at him and moved back to my bag to get my notebook and book.
"Come on, I'll teach you the solution, in a very easy method" he smirked and took my bag away from me, I look up seeing him offering his hand to me, I smiled and accepted it then he pulled me up.
We both walked towards the table and he wasted no time teaching me the whole thing, and it was really easy to understand, he even lend me his notes and it was perfectly arranged and explained.
"... and I guess that's it" he finished, I smiled while looking at my notebook before leaning back on the chair and looked at him.
"You're a fast learner, no doubt I can't beat you off the top spot- either way, I'm still proud of you" he grinned, I leaned over to give him a quick peck on the lips before standing up and fix my things.
"Either way, I'm the only person who is capable enough to kick you out the top spot" I smirked to myself.
"Such a devil" I heard him mutter but I ignored it.
"Let's head back to class" I told him and he nod.
The two of us walked back towards the classroom when he suddenly held my arm back and pinned me against the wall, my eyes widened when my back hit the wall, I was about to complain it was once again captured by his venomous lips.
I grip on his shirt tightly and heat once again scattered all over my body especially my face with my heart beat raising.
'This guy...' I hissed mentally but I, myself, can't even push him away, it was like I've been hypnotize by his lips not to push away.
His tongue brushed through my lower lip, asking for entrance and I gladly granted it, it immediately envaded my mouth and faught with my tongue for a bit then he pulled away.
"I love you" he muttered breathlessly, I blushed harder and my hand immediately covered the lower half of my face, unable to look at him straight on his eyes.
"Y-yeah, I love you too" I shyly uttered just enough for him to hear.
"Yes finally!" I flinched when I heard someone clapping from a distance.
I turn around to see our friends at the end of the hallway, my shy mode took place.
"Ish" I hissed and hid my face on his chest.
"You guys should stop doing that on public" Sam said and I blushed hard good thing my face is hiding now.
"Okay stop it you guys" he told them, I pouted and took my bag, which fell on the floor earlier before walking back to the room.
Sam smiled at me while handing over my lunch, I thanked her before she walk towards where Icer is, Liz is still on the doorway, chatting with Zen while Ace sat on the chair in front of me, watching me eat.
"Can you stop staring?" I asked my boyfriend.
"Sorry I can't, I haven't seen you for like 37 hours" he rolled his eyes and I chuckled before taking another bite on my cheese bread.
I just let him stare at me until I finish my food, not long the bell rang, Ace walked back to his seat and I hurriedly drank my milk, I manage to finish all of it in one go just in time when the teacher entered.
The teacher immediately began the discussion without further more introduction, I sighed and looked back to his seat, he is leaning over his desk and his chin resting over his balled palm looking interestly in front.
He seem to notice me when his eyes look over my direction without moving his posture, he gave me a teasing smile as if he's saying that I'm admiring him too much, I rolled my eyes and he simply responded with a wink.
"Mr. Salazar, please stop flirting ms. Belfour in the middle of my class" my gaze instantly flew outsude the window as I heard the rest of the class started teasing us.
I forgot that this teacher is part of the 3rd Cards, I mentally slapped myself and I covered my mouth to surpass my laughter when Ace started whinning.
"Oh come on, ms. Martin, ignore us" he said.
"I can't, respect your single classmates" she pointed out.
"Respect my classmates? They have their own love lives now, maybe you're reffering to yourself" Ace smirked.
"Do you want to get detention?" Ms. Martin glared at me.
"Try me" he cockily smiled at her.
"Ace" I called seriously, he scratch the back of his head before bowing.
"I'm sorry, you may continue with the duscussion" he muttered and ms. Martine turned to me suprisingly.
"You're a good influence ms. Belfour" she smiled widely.
"Will you stop using my girlfriend against me?" He frowned.
"Ace shut up" I groaned.
"Fine" he slumped back his chair and everyone laughed a his reaction when I scold him.
What a pain in the ass, I smiled apologetically to our teacher and we carried on with our class once again.
