Chapter 6
One Month Earlier
“You must want your ass kicked, huh? Who told you to bring your ass into OUR room?!” Stone says, fists clenched ready to swing on my signal.
“Um, this is my room. The staff let me know during the tour.” He stands there with an annoyed yet scared look on his face.
“Name?” I ask, about to find out what the fuck is going on.
“Atticus. You?” He looks over at me.
“Cade.” I respond, smiling at the look of realization on his face.
“Oh, um, I really was assigned to this room.” He shifts on his feet.
“STAFF!” I yell, removing my jacket. It”s been a long day and I just want to relax.
I hear the staff coming up the stairs. I can see the panicked look on their faces as they stand at the door.
“Cade.” He stands there with his hands in his pocket.
“Before you ask, yes he is assigned here.”
“Is that so?” Staring him down with narrowed eyes.
He turns and heads back down the stairs. Turning my attention back to Atticus.
“I’m gonna call you At. Looks like they threw you into the lion”s den.” I smirk.
“Let’s go over a few things, shall we?” I raise a brow.
One Month Later
Knock… Knock… Knock…
We all turn our heads towards the door seeing Micheal standing there. All the guys know not to enter our room without permission. Atticus almost got his ass kicked when we came home to find him in there.
“Thought you guys might want to know there was a fight over at the girls’ place.” He leans on the frame.
“Any specifics?” Stone asks, leaning on his pillow.
“Word going around is Mika beat Chelsey’s ass. No one is sure what it was about or what happened.” He turns heading down the hallway.
“Interesting. I wonder what happened.” At says, going back to his book.
I don’t even care enough to know what happened. I can’t stand that bitch anyways. I know she has a thing for me. When I told her I don’t do anything serious she huffed saying, ‘Are you sure?’ You can put it anywhere you want.”
“Depends on if my brothers are joining in on the fun.” Hoping it will scare her ass off. “Okay, I’m down with that. Anything for you, hun.” I cringe.
I fucking hate being called hun. Between her pet name and her all too eager attitude I’m completely turned off. That’s why I knew telling her that Lux had sucked my dick would set her off.
Word is she’s been telling the girls to stay away from me, jumps them or worse if they don’t listen. She thinks it”s her way of staking some claim over me. I know it was her who fucked up Lux. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking loathe her.
I know all about her and her family. Her father had made a deal with my uncle. He thought he could just take his family and run. We fixed that.
I remember my uncle saying they were going to take her and give her to me. That she would be mine. Her life was to replace the one stolen from my family. She doesn’t know it but she belongs to me.
Walking down the steps to meet up with the guys in the kitchen. I really want to grab a couple of those strawberry and cheese danishes before they are all gone. I can’t wait to get to the school and see her.
I won’t say I feel bad about her getting hurt because I don’t. But I want to be the one to do it, not that cunt Chelsey. I just want to break her, push her past her limits and when she thinks she has had enough, I want to destroy her. “Yo! You good? You looked deep in thought bro.” Stone says, handing me a danish.
“Yeah, I’m alright.” Unwrapping the danish, taking a bite.
“Just ready to get the fuck outta here.” I say, savoring the warm soft danish.
“Fuck yeah, bro. We have a few days until we touch down on the outside.” He claps me on the back.
We head over to the table and sit down. I won’t lie, I”m excited about going home. I wasn’t supposed to be here but when they couldn’t find her that night, we knew this was the only way.
I don’t want to leave her behind. She is mine and I don’t need anyone touching what’s mine. That is why I have someone on the inside to keep an eye on her. It won’t be too much longer until she is right where I want her.
“Do you have everything set and ready for when we leave?” He says, keeping his head down.
“Yeah, everything is in place.” I respond.
“Tyler, man. Come here.” I command.
“Yeah, dude. What’s up?” He asks, taking a bite from his apple.
“Everything set?” I ask, narrowing my eyes at him.
“Yeah, all good dude.” Responding with that scared look on his face.
“Good. You know what to do.” I say, sitting back in my seat, dismissing him.
“Boys. Time to roll!”
“Showtime.” I look at the boys, who all have smirks on their faces.
Walking into the school, I see the girls standing there, turning our way with smiles plastered across their faces. The moment I lock eyes with Lux, I give her my best devilish smile. I see the shocked look in her eyes until she narrows them at me.
You have no idea what I have planned for you, Little Poison.
Walking up to my locker, I open it and take out what I need. It”s easy to get shit in here. Especially when you have the right connections. The girls are told to get in class and my heart rate picks up at what I’m about to do. She will break before I leave. Facing the guys, I nod and see all their faces with a look of excitement.
Walking into class, I see her sitting at her desk next to Jo. I head towards the back of the class where we hang. We are supposed to have a movie day about plant evolution. Ms. Maks rolls the projector into the class and gets it all setup, pressing play. We are ten minutes into this boring as hell movie when we hear the fire alarm sound off.
“Okay, class. Everyone knows the drill. Line up, stay close, and wait in the destination spot.” Ms. Maks says, with a look of concern and fear.
After getting to the assigned spot, we wait fifteen minutes before we are allowed back in. We get back into our seats, but as the teacher presses play on the movie again, the video cuts out to a dark screen. You can hear movements and whispers.
I see it, the moment it registers with her. Her body goes ramrod straight and her skin turns as pale as a ghost. A nasally voice says, “Kill them all. I’ll make an example of him for trying to fuck me over.”
Lux bends over in her chair and starts vomiting as tears flow from her eyes. The video begins to show her mother running and calling out to her. She covers her ears screaming to turn it off. The teacher is trying but it won’t power off. JoJo runs over and unplugs it from the wall.
“Who did this?! This isn’t fucking funny! What the fuck is wrong with you?” She walks over to a curled up Lux on the floor.
She gets her up and they head toward the classroom door, opening it and walking out. I turn my head in Tyler’s direction and give him a nod.
Game on, Little Poison.
