Chapter 10

Alia’s p ova The rest of the week went by in a blur for me, I was mostly on my own, Tracy was always busy with Zion and Daniel with Pearl.

Whatever Zion was playing at was working, if he wanted to hurt me because of what I told his Mum on pearls birthday then he was doing a good job, he was slowly taking away the people that cared about me, he was taking the attention or would I say care away from me.

So that's how I was sitting alone in the canteen on a Thursday afternoon, Tracy sat with Zion with the excuse of class project, Derrick who was meant to be my partner was nowhere to be found so I studied alone.

The food in front of me didn't look appetizing to me, which was it's first, I loved food, food was my everything, but now look what Zion has done to me, you know that saying speak of the devil and he would appear? Well, it just came through as, as I looked up Zion was making his way to my table with a bold smirk on his face, I didn't want anything to do with him, I somehow hated him now even if I know it's wrong to hate your fellow human, but I guess anyone in my shoes would do the same, he proved to me that he could take everything from me if he wanted to and that is so sadden.

"Hey lovely “Zion said and too the seat next to me.

I turned to the other side as I didn't even want to look at his face. I didn't want the anger I had towards him to fade away because of how handsome he looked, stupid but through.

"Alia love “he said again this time he ran his hands in my hair which made me to finally look at him.

"How are you “he asked with concern, honest concern, which made me roll my eyes at how unbelievable he was.

"Hey lovely how about you go to hell “I said and picked up my bags and stood up.

"Heishe said and held my hands stopping me from leaving.

"Let me be Zion, please “I said the anger building up inside me.

"Nope" he said popping the P which was kind of cute, and the fact that I could find whatever he does now as cute made me face palmed myself mentally.

"Why? If I may ask? “I said trying my best to still stay mad at him because it wasn't really easy looking him in the eyes and still being mad at him.

"Am not done with you yet, you know I would like to end this torture for you, all you need to do is go on a date with me and my Mum “he said with a smile revealing his perfectly white teeth.

I rolled my eyes at him and yanked my hands away from him.

"Thanks for the offer but no, I would never go on a date with you, and I would never ever take back my words, so screw you Zion knight “I said and left him.

I walked as fast as I could out if the canteen and made my way to the library, I needed a quiet place to think, and the library was the best place to do so.

"Hey Alia wait please “I heard Tracy's voice calling out to me, I was mad at her, not because of she was Zions’s partner but because she couldn't even stay true to her own words, because she jumped at the opportunity of being Zions’s partner, and the fact that it affected our friendship hurts.

"What do you want? “I asked her immediately she caught up with me.

"Please let's talk please am so sorry really, I am, I....I....was so stupid in fact am still stupid, I shouldn't have eaten my own words and doing the exact thing I was warning you not to do.... please forgive me Alia please “she said.

"I don't have anything against you, I just left you to your conscience that's all and it did a good job “I said and continued walking.

"Okay, I deserve that please can I make it up to you please? “she said pleading.

"How? “I asked not really interested in whatever she had to say.

"Let's go out tonight, there's this place I and Zion are going to and Pearl and Daniel to are interested, can you come with us? “she said.

As she spoke those words the anger in me turned to rage and when she was done talking, I shook my head and left her cause if I didn't u would have slapped her so hard.

"Alia!” I heard her call to me, but I just quickened my steps anyways.

When I entered into the library, I got a seat at the far end of the library, I wasn't even interested in reading anymore, I felt alone again, and it hurt.

I rested my head on the desk and before I knew it, I began to cry, I didn't know why I was crying, maybe it was because I felt everyone in my life apart from Mum didn't really love me, they could leave me once they find or see someone better, my dad did, infect he hates me to the point that any day he lays his eyes on me he was going to kill me, Tracy and Daniel didn't think twice in leaving me for people they felt where better.

And it was all Zions fault, Zion Xavier knight I hate you. Where my final thoughts before sleep claimed me.

"Miss, you need to leave the library it's meant for reading and not sleeping “I heard a female voice say.

"Thanks, am Sorry, I didn't mean temporaries said as I picked up my things from the table and left the library.

When I came out to the car park it was almost empty apart from one or two cars that were still packed here and there, I sighed and brought out my phone to call my Mum to come pick me, hopefully, as I was about to dial Mum's number a Jeep pulled in front of me and when the glass was wind down, I saw Zion, he looked tired and not interested which made me wonder why he pulled over.

"Yes?" I said not interested.

"Get in I would drop you “he said tiredly.

"No thank you I would rather walk home than get into your car" I said and moved away from where I was standing.

He lined up his glass and drove off, which made me shake my head at how annoying he was, then why did he bother stopping.

I dialed Mum's number and it was switched off, I couldn't believe what was happening, I was officially stranded in school and I had no money on me, I was beginning to regret turning Zions offer down.

I made my way to the school gate and before I knew it the cloud began turning dark.

"Hell, no this can't be happening to me. No, no, no," I said to myself.

When I had walked five minutes away from the school, Ions black Jeep pulled over again, well this time I was willing to accept but I wasn't planning on giving him that impression the, so I waited for him to talk or ask.

"Would you get in now? Or do we wait until the rain starts “he said lazily.

I rolled my eyes and pulled open the door and got in, I heard him chuckle a little, but I didn't want to look his way to confirm so I looked out of the window.

We drove for like 5 minutes and then the car stopped, I turned to look at Zion and found him already looking at me, I frowned my brows in confusion, but he didn't say a word he just stared at me, making me a bit uncomfortable.

"Why are you stubborn and annoying and stupid and childish “Zion said making me regret taking his lift.

"Why are you stupid annoying and rude and full of yourself “I said.

"Please just shut up “he said raising his voice a little at me.

"Why would I....."I began to say but was cut short as Zions lips crashed on mine, pulling me into a very demanding kiss.

I didn't know how to respond or what to do, I just sat still as his lips ravaged mine, after a minute or two my lips started responding on their own and before I could help it, I was longing and asking for more, my own lips started demanding for more.

"God knows I've been stopping myself from doing this to you anytime I see you" Zion said.

"What’s happening to me “where my thoughts.
