Chapter 15: The Contract.

Lex's POV.

I've spent almost the entire time since I returned from that chaotic conversation with Lisa trying to convince Nick and Landon that she'll come and apologise to me in the classroom.

They both doubted me, but I was confident as I argued about how I made her beg me. The only part of our conversation that I didn't mention was the cheek-burning slap she gave me, but it wasn't necessary.

"You're really trying to make me believe that the very angry girl we saw up there at the balcony is going to come to this classroom and apologise to you?"

Nick was sarcastic, and after that question, I did not care about explaining to them; I just wanted to prove to them that it was true and that it was only going to be a matter of time.

"To be honest, Lex, I do not think that girl is going to do anything like that. I mean did you really see the way she spoke to you up there, she's fire, and now she'll apologise to you" landon added.

I kept my convictions strong because I was ready to prove to them that they were both wrong about her. She was not as tough as she seemed. They should have seen the way she pleaded with me to let everything go after trying to act tough which was an epic fail for her.

" How about we place a bet, if she doesn't show up you both win and I get to pay up and if she does I win and you both would pay me"

My voice was filled with confidence and no trace of doubts at all as I spoke to them, placing a bet on whether Lisa would show up or not.

" it had been a long time I took your money Lex, this is going to be a failure, so how about you give us the pay already?"

Nick had an annoying way of making everything seem like a joke but I was going to pull him along this time.

" i guarantee you guys, she is going to show up and if she doesn't, I'll give double of the prices you demand. "

I was not sure exactly why I made that bet but i just wanted to prove to them that I was not joking.

Over 2 hours later, it was almost 1:00 p.m., and we were all on edge. Maybe it's just me, but as I sat there on the couch, I was constantly glancing at the door for the moment she would walk in.

I kept moving my gaze from the door to the wall clock as it began to count in minutes. Just when it was about 3 minutes to 1:00 p.m. Nick began his mockery.

When the clock struck 1:00 p.m. I bite my lower leap in Anger. I should have known not to trust her; she was like a snake. One moment she acted like she was really going to comply, and the next moment she was walking on her own free will, which disgusted me at that moment.

" i told you she would not show, I could see the anger in that girls eyes she's never going to let this go easily let alone coming in here to beg you come on Lex, you need to snap out of that"

"She said she would, and I believed her; maybe I was wrong. This is never going to end."

The defeat in my voice was obvious, but just before Nick could respond, she opened it, and she was standing right in front of us.

"You're 5 minutes late," I said without checking the time.

" 5 minutes? "Come on, Lex, it's barely 3 minutes past 1."

She sounded out of breath as she responded to me glancing at the watch on her wrist before looking back to me.

"Still, you're late."

" i know, I couldn't find your class. You should have told me you had a suite in here and not a classroom like every other student."

As she spoke I moved my gaze to Nick and Landon who sat on the same couch right behind me and the shock on their face said it all. They look like they had seen a ghost.

" that is not an excuse Lisa but hey I'm going to let it slide"

Her expression tightened like an angry cat when I said that, but I didn't care.

"I have told you not to call me Lisa." She spatted, her voice strangely calm yet unfriendly.

" you don't tell me what to call you. Now are you going to apologise or not?"

My tone was harsh but I wasn't going to play petty with her either.

"Yes, I'm going to apologise to you, and I'm going to promise to not tell anyone, but before I do so, I need you to sign this."

She handed me a sheet of paper with a contract on it, handwritten in black ink.

"What is this?" I asked after giving it a glance.

"Read it?"

It sounded almost like a command, yet I couldn't help but turn my gaze to paper.

"It's a simple agreement that you're going to sign the contract stating that we are going to be complete strangers to each other and you will not go back on this agreement to stay completely away from me."

She said even though I was reading the same thing on the paper.

"And what if I go back on the agreement?" I asked without thinking.

" i will have a signed copy Lex and even though I did not have the resources to sue you or get you legally punished, I'll have a very solid evidence against you but I hope we wouldn't have to do any of that after this is signed "

Before I could say a word, she went on her knees and placed her hands like she was in the mood for prayer.

"I'm sorry for everything I've done to offend you, Alexander. I promise to stay hidden and never let my presence bother you anymore. Please forgive me"

I was staring at her in complete surprise. I hesitated for a second before walking past Nick and Landon to the table in the middle of the room. I picked up a pen, signed the contract and threw the paper at her.

I felt proud and excited that it was going my way but instead of leaving when she picked up the paper, she folded it, tucked it into her skirt and began approaching me.

I stared in confusion, glancing at Nick and Landon, who both seemed as surprised as me.

When she came close enough, about three steps away from me, I was about to ask her what she was doing, but she punched me so hard on the nose that I lost my balance and went crashing to the couch behind me.

"That's for my virginity, which you made me lose so cheaply."

"What?"
