SAGE

Sage Miller

"You've lost your mind completely. Why would you do such a stupid thing? What the fuck Sage?" I rolled my eyes.

They've been at it since Wednesday since they 'heard' the rumors. Sebastian was particularly pissed that I didn't tell them myself, or maybe it's the whole concept of me dating Kate and taking her to New York.

I couldn't really tell.

They details didn't matter anymore. I was doing this. They make it seem like I'm going on a suicidal mission.

Talk about drama. Then I'm the dramatic one.

But they wouldn't understand. I wasn't doing this on a damn whim. I didn't invite Kate to New York just because. She is my girlfriend and I should take my girlfriend put, right.

I refuse to look like a fool licking my wounds. I'm not wounded. I won't let Alora think I am.

Kate is the perfect candidate for it.

I truly am obsessed with her.

"I bet she used some voodoo stuff on him." Sebastian and I snapped our heads to Connor.

We gave him a weird look. I raised my brow and stared at him.

"What?" He looked at us like he just didn't say some shit out of the world this. He then shrugged his shoulders. "I wouldn't put anything past her. That woman is evil."

"What is so wrong with her?" I asked them. Lately it's like our conversation revolve around Kate and I.

Can't we talk about something else except my relationship with Kate. It gets so exhausting.

"See, a week ago that sentence wouldn't even crossed your mind much less made it to your lips." He pointed it out. "Voodoo. I'm telling you. She did some weird shit on you."

I rolled my eyes at Connor. Sure, a week ago. Kate didn't as so much crossed my mind but that doesn't mean she used some voodoo shit on me.

"I don't agree with the voodoo shit." Sebastian said. "But you have to understand this from our side. That chick is crazy. As in cocky crazy. Fucking crazy like lock you in her basement so you'll never leave her."

"That's crazy. You're just talking crazy. She's nothing like that and it's like you haven't been listening to me for the past two days." I heaved a defeated sigh.

It's like the two of them aren't hearing one word I'm saying. I've told them over and over again why I'm doing what I'm doing.

"Do you wanna know how I see this?" Sebastian asked. He didn't even wait for my response. "This is some petty fucked revenge because she left you. Because she choose that red head over you."

His words were far from the truth but somehow they found themself a way to the back of chest and pressed hard there.

It pissed me that his words hit a nerve. It pissed me that they pain.

"How could she have fucken left me if we never fucking dated?" I snarled at him. "And what do you fucking know. It's not like you have great advice for me. You don't think I don't know what you've been doing with fucking Chloe."

He tried to defeat himself but I blocked him out. Connor gaped. He wasn't expecting that but Kate told me that Sebastian is sleeping around with Chloe.

After that I stormed off. The bell rang just after I entered the halls and students filled every corner.

I was pissed. The hallways were fucking full and they wouldn't fucking clear.

Lucky I had time to cool off before I had to see either Sebastian and Connor.

I was tired of them thinking they were fucking expects of my life. They irritated me.

"Baby." A sweet sickening voice called. It was way too sweet and I was pissed.

I hesitated for a moment, I wanted to continue walking or stop.

I might as well stop because I had a lapse of judgement at one point and ask her to be my girlfriend.

I had a brain seizure for sure.

She stopped right in front of me and hugged me but didn't forget a kiss on the cheek.

I hugged her back.

"I haven't seen you since classes started today." She whined leaning into me.

I didn't miss the show she displayed to anyone who was watching which was everyone in the damn corridor.

She made sure to remind everyone that she is my girlfriend.

"That was an hour ago." I fought the urge to roll my eyes to the back of my head.

"That's too long." She pouted and part of me had to admit how cute she looked doing that.

Only if cute could do it for me. I found myself thinking it.

This time I rolled my eyes at her.

"What did you need Kate?" I finally asked her.

"Stop being rude to me." She smiled to push her charade of happy couples but I could feel the anger pouring out of her smile.

I use to think she was insane to never show her anger in public. I never noticed it until Connor pointed it out one day.

"Do you remember what I told you when I asked you to be my girlfriend?" I asked her with the same smile but I'm sure she heard the venom under the words.

I saw it when her smile almost fell but she's good at keeping up charades. She's very good. I'll give her that.

"Yes I do." She answered sweetly but her voice wobbled just a bit.

I knew she knew what I meant but I carried on anyway.

"No you don't." I mused with a smile. I'm sure to everyone in the corridors, I looked very much loving but to the specimen in front if me, I looked frightening.
