Chapter 10
I hear the clacking of her heels nearing and I couldn’t prevent myself from lifting my head. Her eyes are a stormy blue. Rage. Rage poured in the depths of her eyes, eyes Blake seemed to like.
“You’re boring.” Her red lips curl into a sneer, the white pearly teeth now visible. I feel the invisible blow and stagger back as she advances.
“You’re not even pretty.” She continues, her eyes racking over my form in displeasure. Her blue eyes settle on my leggings and she snorts. “And for F*ck sake you can’t even dress right.” She laughs but it’s void of humor.
By now we were inches apart with me having to crane my neck to look at her. It was no secret that I was short. I blamed my mom for this stupid height. I always seemed to look like a little kid compared to everyone else. It’s no wonder Blake doesn’t see me as anything more than a friend.

What’s wrong with me? Why was I provoking her? And why do I love it?
I could see the gears shifting in her head, see her contemplate if to knock me. I wasn’t one for altercations and hated the thought of being in one. But I couldn’t promise to stay still if she decided to punch me in the face.
Before I could think or have time to move out of her way, her hand was already gripping around the bone of my wrist. Her nails are pointy and scratches the surface of my skin with the sudden pressure she added.
