Death sentence

Have you ever been so attracted to someone that you can't seem to stop thinking about them?

You don't know why, but you just feel attracted to them.

Because that's how I'm feeling right now.

Matt slept through the whole class, or that's what I thought until when the bell rang.

I jumped a little because of the sudden sound.

"You okay?" Mia asks me with concern in her voice.

"Yeah I'm good." I pack my books and I look at Matt again but he had already left.

I sigh and I get up from my seat. Mia and I walk out of the class.

"What's got you so down? You were like a woman with a mission this morning." Mia teases me and I look down.

"Yeah. I was truly-" I don't say my words finish because I bump into someone and all my books fall.

"I'm sorry." I say.

I bend down to pick my books and I see the person's legs walk around me.

"The least you could do after bumping into me is to help me dickhead." Mia gasps beside me and the person stops.

"What did you say?" I stand up and I turn to him.

He wants a fight? He'll get-

Oh lord. What the heck did I just do.

I just called Matt Harper a dickhead.

I'm dead now for sure.

I gulp before I speak up.

"I said," I freaking hope it's worth it. "The least you could do after -"

"Not that." He interrupts me and he takes a step forward..

Oh lord.

Stand your ground Alexis.

"Dickhead." All eyes were now on us waiting to see what will happen.

"I'm a dickhead?" He asks and I nod.

He takes another step closer and I take one back. He keeps on moving close to me until my back hits a locker.

He hits his right hand just beside my head and he looks me in the eye.

Those icy blue eyes stared right into my soul.

"You know, for a small girl, you do have a sharp mouth."

I can be called anything else but not small.

Not

That

Word.

"I'm not small."

"Sure you aren't." He says and he turns to walk away. "I'll watch my mouth if I were you." He says and walks off.

"Oh my god Alex what were you thinking!" Mia comes to my side and hits me on my shoulder.

"Ow! Why's your hand so hard. I didn't know he was the one and now I'm glad I called him that." I say as look at where he disappeared to.

"You are glad you called him a dickhead?" She asks in disbelief. "Are you trying to die or something?!"

"That's what he gets for calling me small." She hits me again on the shoulder.

"Show's over everyone!" Mia shouts at everyone. "There will no blood today, thankfully." She eyes me as she says the last part.

Everyone continues what they are doing and some keep passing me glances.

This is surely going to be the talk of school.

I sigh and I walk to my locker to pick up my next class books.

.....

"And then he calls me small! I'm not small!" I say to Lola but she just smiles.

"He ticks you off doesn't he?" She asks.

"After he called me small, yes."

"Well, I don't know what to say but I do know you have a customer." She points and I could see Matt Harper coming close to my side of the counter.

"One cup of black coffee to go." He says and looks at me.

"That will be $2.87" I say as I place his coffee and he drops a five dollar bill.

"Keep the change smallie."

"I am not small." I grit my teeth and his lips curl up a little.

"Sure thing. Smallie." He smirks and walks off.

"Asshat." I whisper and he turns.

How the hell did he hear that?!

His icy blue eyes glares at me before he looks around and walks off.

"What was that about?" Lola asks but I'm frozen to the spot.

"I think I just signed my death sentence."
