Chapter 2

"What exactly do you want Lilah?" Kelvin asked, pissing me off. What was his problem exactly? Why was he so protective of her all of a sudden? Why was he acting like he cared so much about her? But before I could say anything Kimberly spoke, "L..l..l..Lilah, yo..you ca ... .can si ... .sit be ... .beside me," she stuttered, it never occurred to me that she stuttered or was she just afraid? Either way I still took the seat she offered. Soon I saw Kate running towards us like a tigress.

"Hello! You guys are occupying my place!" She said, I pretend not to notice why Kelvin offered to sit with him.

"Kim, can I take you home after school?" Kelvin asked which surprised both Kate and I. Why did he offer to drop her off? Were they in any form of relationship? Did anything happen during the school break? So many questions I can keep asking myself and they would go unanswered if I don't ask her since clearly Kelvin won't answer my questions. "Kimberly, why don't you go with me?" I couldn't let Kelvin go with her.

"What do the both of you want from her?" Kate asked. "Enough of these games, first Lilah bullies her now you suddenly care about her. Kimberly is coming with me and that is final!" Mother hen came to the rescue. I wasn't going to let Kimberly go with her, not today, so I turned to Kimberly, "Kimberly, who would you want to go with?" I stared directly into her eyes, I could feel she was shaking under my gaze that was the effect I had on her. 

"Hmm, Kate don't worry about me I'll go with Lilah….."She said, surprising both Kelvin and Kate.

"Kim, what the hell is wrong with you!" Kate was almost yelling. Kimberly on the other hand stood up and left which made Kate follow her behind. I just sat back and smirked at Kelvin, I won after all, she chose me. I couldn't explain my joy at this point.

Kimberly's POV

Immediately I went out of the cafeteria, Kate followed me out, "Kimberly Philomena Wilson!" she yelled my name across the hall.

"You didn't just yell my middle name, Kate?" I could take anything but that!

"What were you thinking about making that decision, choosing to go with Lilah? If you had chosen Kelvin I would not have bothered but you just had chosen Lilah, do you want to be reported dead tomorrow!?" Kate was furious, I could feel it.

"Kate, trust me I can handle myself well….."

"Like you did this morning when you fell on your face!" With that I turned my face aside, I knew I did a shitty job in taking care of myself but I was terrified of Lilah and there was no way I would get away with turning her down, so I had no choice but to accept.

"I will take care of myself, I promise," With that I left to get some things done before school closed for the day.

Later I made up my mind to sneak away from school cause I knew I wouldn't be safe riding with  her. Immediately after school I found my way out of the school building only to find Lilah standing by the door waiting for me.

"Don't tell me you were planning on running away?" She asked. 

"No I was just waiting for you," afraid that she caught me. She walked me to her car.

"What do you like to do after school?" She asked immediately if she started the engine of the car.

"Nothing, I just head home," I told her as I couldn't sit peacefully in the car, I was at alert at every sound that was made in the car.

"No friends, No gaming site?" She asked which was very awkward. Why was she interested in what I was doing after school?

I shaked my head in a negative way, "What about Kate, I mean you guys are friends so it is normal that you two visits each other,"

"Nope, we live in different places, so it is hard for us to meet ourselves frequently," I told her.

"So you are a lone girl after school?" She asked and I didn't reply, the car fell silent afterwards I only smoke occasionally when I was showing her directions.

Soon we got to my house, surprisingly she walked me to the door and boom my opened the door. "Kim, you didn't tell me you were bringing a friend that isn't Kate home," my mom flashed a smile at Lilah.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Wilson," Lilah said before I could say something.

"Oh please call me Olivia," why was my mom acting so nice? Watching my mom act like this made me want to puke. 

"Olivia, I'm Lilah Stone, Kim's friend," Friend? Since when were we friends! "Wow, Kim has never mentioned you before, please come in," my offer and I prayed to the heavens that she doesn't take the invite.

"Hmm, Olivia maybe some other time, I have somewhere to be and Kim has a forgetful brain she must have forgotten to mention me." With that she kissed me on the cheek and left. I stood there rigid to the ground. She kissed me, Lilah Stone kissed me on the cheek!
