The next day when I arrived at school, I came thankfully early this time round. Once again I had Mr Cooper, so that means that once again I had to deal with Mason. How perfect. He once again showed up late to the lesson but of course he didn't come 'clean looking'. A massive kiss was planted in the exact same place as you guessed it, the same place that that awful hickey was planted. What could I honestly expect? Of course the next day that he literally threatened to 'make me jealous' he shows up like this. What an inconsiderate monster!? He made his way over to my seat and Mr Cooper gave him detention for being late, my karma for him, the smirk on his face never left. He came and sat down next to me and once again began to talk.

"Morning, Ms Ash." He said. I gave him a middle finger under the table and his hands came over to mine and he folded it. I released my hands once again from his grip.

"Stop touching me with you're filthy hands, who knows where they've been."

"Is that...Is that slut shaming I hear? I thought we were just becoming friends Liana."

"Don't call me Liana we don't know each other like that so please stop pretending like we do, I truly have absolutely no idea how a girl would stoop that low and actually allow herself to touch you."

"You are a feisty one, Liana. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Julianna. That good? A beautiful name for a beautiful girl."

"Oh gosh please stop with these incredibly sad attempts at 'flirting'. Flattery will get you nowhere as many before me have said, so drop. the. act."

"I beg to differ. Flattery will get you to high high places if and only if you use it right. Trust me.I'd know." He said pointing to his ugly neck that was still marked with that kiss.

"Are you always this...self centred? How can anyone stand you? No wonder you've made 0 friends here, who could like such an ugly personality." I of course laughed at my slightly sad attempt at destroying his ego.

"Well, I've actually been clawed by a big scary monster you see so making friends has been, sorry for my language, a pain in the butt. But that adds mystery to you, Julianna Ash trust me when I say, I will break your character so I can see what you think is so 'ugly' about you."

"ASS!" I shouted out loud enough to get it echoed into the halls, well fuck. Sometimes inside voices can decide that they want to be evil and yes, they will humiliate you.

"Who said such a grotesque word!" My hand slowly crept up from under the table but quickly got dragged down by Mason.

"It was me sir, I said 'ass'. I apologise for that." I stood up after remembering how he'd already grabbed a detention partially because he wanted to make me 'jealous'.

"I did it sir, he's lying to...to...I actually don't know but it was me who said that absolutely unforgi-"

"SIR! She's lying!" I turned over and saw my sister standing up now. "She's my sister of course she'd do that to protect me, sisters before everything you know. I'm sor-"

"NO it wa-" More and more people stood up making a loud chain of 'it was me's'.

"STOP IT! This will be dismissed. We're moving on now people come on, sit and back to what I was talking about." Everyone managed to actually listen to that instruction and as we did, I mouthed a thank you to my sister for her Oscar worthy performance.

"You're so welcome." Mason said, I punched his leg and let just a mini smile escape onto my face.

"Thanks I guess this does not in any way shape or form say that me and you are 'ok'"

"Were we ever is the question."

"I said that because of you you know, you're a trouble maker who deserves his left hand cut off."

"Can it be right? My left 'produces' , if you get me, come on now, don't be completely heartless."

"Oh of course, I hope, truly that both get taken off and aw don't worry I'll film it so that you can watch it literally whenever you want, how amazing is that?"

"The best, goodness me sweetie, you spoil me far far too much, do you know that?" His smile grew wider as I just breathed in a sigh telling me to calm down.

"How about we enjoy the rest of the class? I'd like that very much."

"Now that's just cruel, I was starting to think that you were really nice."

"Miss Ash detention." Mr Copper said.

"Which one?" Me and Blair said in unison.

"Miss J Ash."

"But sir tell me what I did at least."

"Is it not obvious? You have been chatting to that boy this entire lesson, not taking any knowledge into your growing mind." Fuck Mason Gray. "And Mr Gray, you shall join her, in fact I have a very special event planned for you both. Here after school, NO LATES." F.U.C.K M.A.S.O.N G.R.A.Y
