I pushed open the classroom door with much force, causing it to slam against the wall hard, and make a loud booming sound that immediately echoed around the hallway. I angrily walked out of the classroom with the piece of paper in my hand, my mind replaying the teachers words again and again over in my head like a spoiled record player. The piece of paper that had my grade written clearly and boldly in red at the front only made my crumble it further into a crinkled mess as I marched down the hallway and towards my lockers. From the corner of my eye, I could see students turning their heads towards my direction to see what was causing all of this loud, noisy wreckage but at that moment, I didn’t care about their opinions. I was beyond fuming, feeling like the flames of hell were being burnt in me. And every time the imagine of his cocky arrogant smirk flashed before my eyes, it only caused the flames to burn brighter and higher like a chemical reaction. Moreover, it only ignited the urge in me to punch his face even more hoping that it would cause a huge bruise which would last for days. Just so that he would get a taste of the bitter medicine I tasted, the sense of failure after all the hard work that I have done over the months.
The sounds of my heels clicking against the tile floor reverberated around the air and my entire composure was bouncing up and down from the way I was walking quickly towards my small innocent locker. I could hear the murmurs of students from the same class as me whispering about what had happened and the grade that I had gotten and it only made me open my locker with a louder slam. I arrogantly shoved my books and notes into the small closed space that the locker offered, forcing all of my anger and irritation onto what I was doing. When the stupid thing didn’t fit in, I let out a loud frustrated groan that almost sounded like a growl and slammed my palm against the metal door. I couldn’t believe it, after the past few years of being the top student in class, my crown was finally overthrown. For once, I wasn’t first as I always would and I absolutely detested it.
“ And the student with the highest grade for this year’s over finals is Issac Newton. Congratulations Issac.”
The words echoed in my mind over and over again, and I could feel myself burning inside out as I stood there, staring at nothing in particular. How many times was this stupid bloody British boy going to take my crown away from me, the crown that I had worn after all these years. Was he going going to take over my spot for valedictorian, the spot that I had been working my arse off for years after everything?
I gritted my teeth in irritation as the thought floated around my mind, like a cloud in the clear blue sky. No fucking way. No way in hell was I going to let this freaking guy take over me spot after everything I have done. If he wanted a war against me, he would be getting it and if working hard every hour of every day was going to get me there to win, then I would be fucking doing it without any hesitations. I wanted that position badly, and nothing, I repeat nothing, was going to get in my way.
“You seem a little frustrated, (Y/N). You should really calm down, high blood pressure isn’t good for you, love. ” The familiar British voice snapped me out of my trance and I immediately glared in the direction of the voice, slamming my locker door shut as I turned to the side to face him. And there he was, leaning against the lockers with his arms crossed against his chest, with a smile on his face with his hair in its usual disheveled mess. Whether his smile was a sincere one or a smile that was meant to mock me, I had no fucking clue but neither did I care.
“Oh I wonder why I am in a state like this Newt, funny how you seemed to be so oblivious to the reason of it. ” I hissed at him, venom clear in my voice, but no matter what my tone of voice was or how hard I was glaring at him, his expression still remained the same. The smirk that was planted on his face only grew wider as he shifted his position.
“ You know second place isn’t really a bad place, I mean yeah it isn’t first but at least its still behind me. Judging from your behavior, you don’t seem to be the kind who likes to not be first very much.” This time, there was definitely a mocking tone behind his words and my fists that were by my side clenched together even harder, ignoring the sharp pain that followed. But somewhere in my mind, there was a voice whispering to me, that this was all a way to taunt me and make me loose my mind even more. He wanted to see me mad, he wanted to see me go insane over him for taking away my crown.
I relaxed the tightly clenched fists that hung by my side before plastering on the mask I wore on so well everyday, the mask of sweetness but with a hidden amount of sass laid underneath it. I took a step forward towards Newt, leaving barely an inch between both of our faces, and immediately, I could see his attention diverted from my eyes to my lips. I smiled sweetly at him, a killer like venom smile with the look of innocent daisies covering it.
“ You have always been second place before this, Newt, surely you must know the true feelings and meaning behind the title of second place. It’s merely a sugarcoated name for first loser.” I bit back the sly smirk that threatened to invade my lips at the sight of anger filling up in Newt’s brown eyes but it was soon gone, like it never happened at all. I crossed my arms in front of my chest as I stood there, relishing the moment of my satisfying glory, till the parade was immediately rained down on the moment an arrogant smirk was plastered across his face.
Newt held his stare with mine for what felt like minutes even though it was actually seconds before he finally moved forward, his mouth now near my ear. The speed of my heart was instantly increased by a tenfold as I felt my strong composure begin to weaken. Even though he hadn’t even spoken a word, the act was still intimate which only caused the surroundings around me to grow hotter.
“ That beautiful mouth of yours (Y/N) can speak many things which may be irritating at times, but I am sure that mouth could be put to good use if provided with the proper guidance. And, darling love,” Newt pulled away and placed his fingers underneath my chin, forcing me to have my eyes meet his that were sparkling with the usual cockiness. “ It is you who is in second place now, not me. Don’t forget, I am not the first loser here but you are.”
And with that, Newt gently released his grip on my chin before giving me a wink, stalking off after that with pride written all over his body figure. As I watch the back of his head move down the school hallway quickly, with him giving the usual winks at girls along the way, I couldn’t help but bite my bottom lip down in anger probably causing blood to draw.
That fucking British boy.
I could feel everyone’s on me as I turned around ready to head in the other direction. It didn’t take me long to know that what had just happened was in front of at least half of the students in our school and that it was going to be the next hot gossip news which was going to be traveling around. But neither did i care about their stupid gossips nor want to be add more mess to the trouble I already have. None of those mattered to me because all that I could think of right then and there as I stalked down the hallway, my hips swaying left to right, was how I was going to destroy Issac Newton piece by piece. Bit. By. Bit.
I ignored the curious, intrigued stares that were cast in my direction and continued walking forward with my head held high. I felt someone join me by my side and from the corner of my eye, I recognized the familiar black hair and blue eyes of my friend, Teresa. Her medium length hair that ended at her shoulders bobbed up and down as she kept up with the pace I was going, showing no difficulty at all.
“ Not sure about you, but the sexual tension between Newt and you just now was just freaking hot and thick. I am pretty sure I wasn’t the only one in the hallway who got turned on by it just now too just by watching you two argue. ” From the corner of my eye, I could see Teresa fanning herself with her hands probably lost in thought about it and I merely rolled my eyes, groaning inwardly.
Teresa wasn’t the only one though.
Three fourth of the entire school were convinced that they stupid theory of sexual tension between Newt and I was true. But just like all misunderstandings and misconceptions that happen usually, this was no different. It was simple, just like a mathematical theory that everyone seems to find hard mainly because of one component they had misunderstood. And, its safe to say with much confidence, that mainly everyone here mistaken my long heart filling hatred for Newt as a sexual tension between us which to me is completely, fucking, bullshit.
“ Don’t be silly, Teresa, you can call it whether the hell you want but at the end of the day, the truth is the truth. I hate him, he hates me, its simple. And this dangerous and reckless game Newt is playing with me will soon be over once he realises what a huge mistake it was. Because when I am done playing checkmate, I will make sure he will be down on his knees with all of his achievements turned into nothing but a piece of his past. Mark my words, Teresa, there can only be one winner within two players on this battlefield, and I am going to make sure its me and me only.”
