I'm walking as fast as I can through the cafeteria searching for Ashley. I've been ignoring every single thing she's been doing since the day we met, but no, not this time. She went too far with this one.

"What the hell were you thinking?" I shout as I grab Ashley from the arm, making her stand up. She's sitting with the same people she sits with every day. The populars. The people I used to hang out with before everyone started thinking I'm a 'gang hoe'.

"You have to be more clear, Alice." she chuckles as she yanks her arm away.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. You do know that you would have put him in freaking jail right?" I shout even louder, gaining the attention of more students around me.

"Well, sleeping with Mr. Scott in the first place was the bigger risk." she says, loud and clear, so everyone can hear her and gossip about me.

"Not that its anyone's business, but we did not sleep together!" I scream as I realize a lot of students whispering. I heard some 'I knew it' and 'I see the way they always look at each other' which is making me on full rage right now. "But, yeah, Ashley, sleeping with a teacher is still better than sleeping with Principal Brown so he can make you pass the semester!" I shout and truly regret what I say. Surely, everyone knows about this, but I'm not like this.

Ashley gasps, "What?! Of course not!"

"Oh, please, everyone knows." I say.

"You bitch!" she shouts and pushes me. I slightly lean back.

"You didn't just push me!"

"I sure fucking did. What the hell are you going to do about it?" she crosses her arms and now I'm only seeing red.

I push her back and she falls on the cafeteria table, her back now covered in food.

"Ugh! You're paying for this!" she shouts and rushes towards me, but before she can even lay a hand on me, a figure comes between us.

"Girls! You stop this right this instant!" Collin shouts as he holds us both steady, each one with one hand.

"Oh, just perfect, your second boyfriend is here for your rescue!" Ashley shouts and I'm just looking at Collin's hand that is grabbing my shoulder.

"Ashley! I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS CHILDLY BEHAVIOR!" Collin screams and both Ashley and I flinch at his sound. This is the first time I see him this angry, and the first time I realize how loud of a voice he has.

The bell rings, "EVERYONE TO CLASS. NOW." he screams again and everyone takes their stuff and leaves.

After the cafeteria becomes empty, "Alice, wait for me outside. I need to have a word with Ashley." Collin says.

"But-" I start.

"I said wait for me outside. I am your teacher, thus you do what I say. Go." he says and I do as told. He's so mad I don't want to make him angrier. And maybe he'll release most of his rage on Ashley right now. She deserves it.

I walk outside the cafeteria and stand beside the open doors.

"...Why the fuck did you do that?" I hear him say as I eavesdrop on them. Wow, for a student and teacher he sure is comfortable with his vocabulary around her.

"...she...and you...Stone!" is what I manage to hear from Ashley. Stone? What does Stone have to do with this?

"...pull something like that again and I'll fucking... got that?" is he threatening her?

The sound of her heels clicking on the floor becomes closer and closer and I make myself look busy.

Ashley walks past me, giving me an evil glare, earning an eye-roll from me.

Not seconds later Collin comes out, looking furious.

"I don't think I should be yelled at. You know what she did! I just-"

"Shh" he says, "I know, I know. Thank you for defending us." Us? "Me. Thank you for defending me and my reputation as a teacher."

"You're welcome, I guess." I say.

After a few seconds of silence, "I miss you, Alice."

"Collin-"

"No, don't say anything. Because I know what you're going to say." he says and I look at the floor. Poor Collin. I wish I never had feelings for him. Him hurting right now is all my fault.

"Alice I... I love you."

My eyes widen at his words, "Y-You what?"

"I love you, Alice Wilson. I really do." he says as grabs my face so quick before slamming his lips onto mine.

As soon as our lips connect, I place my hands on Collin's chest and push him away. "Collin! What the hell?!" I shout.

"I'm sorry-"

"No! No, you're not sorry! Not that we'd be in huge trouble if anyone saw us but I have a boyfriend! You can't just go around kissing me like that!"

"I know, I-I just-"

"No! Stop! You know what? I'm just gonna go to class." I say and march away. I cannot believe what he just did. Now I need to tell Stone and try to convince him not to go and murder Collin. Again.

"Stone, if you love me one bit, you won't get out of this car!" I shout at Stone as he's trying to keep it together. We're sitting in the school parking lot, surrounded by students, and I just told him about what happened today.

"Fuck! I'm sorry, Alice, but I'm can't control myself this time. He took it too fucking far!" He shouts too.

"Stone, I pushed him away, I swear. I don't need you defending me every time someone-"

"HEY." he shouts before grabbing my chin with a hard grip and bringing my face closer to his. "Yes, you do need me. I won't let anyone touch whats mine again." he says through gritted teeth as he looks deep into my eyes, and I his. "You are mine, Alice. I'm gonna show that fucker what he's really dealing with." he says before letting me go and quickly places his hand on my thigh, grip harder than usual, I'm sure it's gonna leave a mark.

"Why... why are we here, S-Stone?" I ask as we park in front of Collin's house. Oh god, no.

"You'll see." he says before opening the glove compartment in front of me and reaching for the... for the gun.

"S-Stone?" I'm shaking right now. What the hell is he gonna do with that?

"Alice, do not speak one word. Clear?" he says.

"Stone, w-what are you g-going to do? Please d-don't-"

"I FUCKING SAID DO NOT SPEAK." he screams and I flinch.

After what felt like ten minutes of complete silence, me in my seat trembling with fear and Stone in his seat, gun in hand, shaking his leg, making the whole car tremble, Collin's car comes into sight and parks in front of us.

Stone quickly gets out of the car and toward's Collin's car. He opens the door and grabs Collin, aggressively, dragging him out of from car, and throwing him onto the floor, pointing the gun at him.

My heart is beating so fast. I open my door and manage to get out from the car, the struggle was real, due to my extremely shaking legs.

"Stone! No!" I shout and manage to run towards them.

I help Collin stand up. "Alice, behind me, now." Stone tells me. "I SAID NOW!" he screams and quickly run behind Stone.

"Please don't do this, please." I'm crying now, as Collin and I look at each other. He doesn't seem scared at all, he just looks... sad, disappointed, and courageous may I say.

"You know, I really fucking pity you." Collin tells Stone through gritted teeth.

"I'm the one with the fucking gun so I suggest you SHUT THE FUCK UP." Stone screams again and my cries get louder.

"Stone, Stone listen to me, please." I say as I rush and stand between Stone and Collin, facing Stone. "I-If you do this, I will never forgive nor love you. Ever. I promise you that." I manage to tell him with tears streaming down my face. "Come on, l-lets just... go home. To your house. Forget today, we'll spend the rest of the day together, okay? P-please."

"Alice, get this through your fucking head. He's messing with whats mine. You're ONLY MINE."

"I-I know I am. Thats why you shouldn't care about him. I-I'm with you, aren't I?" I look back at Collin who looks like someone who just got his heart broken.

I jump as I hear the shot of the gun.

No.
