CHAPTER 14

"Hold on!" Oliver stopped her. "I don't want things to be any more awkward than it already is" He continued.

"Oh really? Says the person who's making things awkward" Alice sarcastically replied.

"And that's why I said I don't want to make things more awkward" Oliver was bewildered by her behavior, but he liked it. Alice wasn't always like that and it was rare seeing her like that.

"Can we go now? Cause staying here isn't going to change anything" Alice actually wanted to leave, she didn't even notice how she was behaving.

"Okay! Lets go, I'll walk you home" With that, they left the class. While they were walking through the hallways, they came across Victor who obviously didn't plan on just passing by.

"Well well well. If it isn't Alice in wonderland and the tiny little wolf?" It was very obvious that Victor was trying to mess with Oliver using those annoying lines.

"And what is a lost lamb doing in front of a wolf?" Oliver wasn't ready to loose to him.

"So you are really gonna start exchanging words here?" Alice who was not ready to keep quiet this time butted in.

"Maybe" surprisingly both guys gave the same reply at the same time.

"What? Are you scared I am gonna beat his ass off?" Victor asked. He was starting to get a little too over confident.

"Says the person who couldn't even win in a fight against me yesterday." Oliver taunted. Alice laughed at his remark cause she noticed he was using her words.

"Oh you really think highly of yourself now because you were able to get a few hits on me by chance!" Hearing that, Oliver chuckled.

"Ohhh! So you think that beating your little puny ass was by chance." Oliver laughed again cause he found Victor's stupidity really funny. 'He couldn't even get a better excuse' Oliver thought. Victor was silent for a while, he didn't have anything to say but he was determined to not loose against Oliver.

"What? Cat caught your tongue?" Oliver asked clearly enjoying Victor's misery.

"Hahahahahahaha!!!" Victor laughed uncontrollably. This really got Alice thinking.

"What the fuck is wrong with this guy?" She asked Oliver.

"And you think I know..." Oliver replied. Soon, Victor stopped laughing.

"You wanna fight again? Maybe we'll find out if you won by chance or not" Victor offered.

"No way!" Alice spoke seeing as Oliver was actually dropping his bag and loosing the first two buttons on his black shirt.

"You want to fight? Here, fight me" Oliver taunted Victor.

Then, he threw a punch right to Victor's face but he dodged it. Seeing that, Alice decided to step aside. Oliver smiled again and threw another punch to Victor's face, but Victor dodged it yet again.

"That's all you've got? Dodging" Oliver taunted. But this got Victor angry, he threw a punch to Oliver's face which Oliver was not expecting so he was hit. When Oliver was trying to recover, Victor sent a kick right to Oliver's stomach.

"Arrgh!" Oliver groaned in pain. Alice was very worried about him but she chose to stay away. She knew Oliver would be mad at her if she interfered. Victor didn't give Oliver any time to recover and punched him in the stomach again.

"Arrgh!" Oliver groaned again. Victor did not care, it was very obvious that he was upset about what Oliver did to him the other day. So he kept on punching him in the face.

"Stop!" Alice yelled. She felt Victor was taking it too far. But Victor didn't listen, he kept on beating Oliver.

"It's enough Victor!" Alice yelled and this time she went closer and pushed him away from Oliver. Looking at Oliver's state, Victor was satisfied.

"Guess who was beaten up now?" Victor smiled and left.

"I'll take you home, okay?" Alice was very worried about him. He couldn't get up on his own and his stomach hurt pretty bad, his lips were busted and he got bruises on his face. Victor really damaged him. But stubborn Oliver said,

"I'll be fine, don't worry about me. It's just a few bruises anyways so go home."

Alice looked at him again clearly annoyed.

"You call this a few bruises? You are badly injured and you are calling it a few bruises. Am calling a cab anyways."

Oliver looked at her and smiled. She was worried about him and was even planning to goto his place with him. He wanted to laugh and he didn't know why. He just felt happy.

"But..." Before Oliver could say anything Alice shut him up." Shut up!"

Alice called a cab and assisted Oliver in getting up. She put his arm around her shoulders and her hand around his waist, then they both walked out and went straight to the school's gate. A few people saw Oliver's bad state, but they knew better and kept quiet.

When the cab arrived, Alice helped him get in the car and she got in too.
