Claimed novel Chapter 9

Ophelia

The next morning I get to school around the same time as Katherine and I witness the thing that I was scared of seeing. She saunters over to Cole and I can already see by the look on his face that he got what he wanted and he is done. I shut my locker just as Pearce and Dominic walk up and we all turn to watch what will be a show for the ages.

"Hey, baby. Did you miss me?" Katherine purrs and flutters her eyelashes at Cole. She is rubbing her hands up and down his arms and I see the irritation flowing off him in waves. Katherine is oblivious to all this.

"Who told you that you could call me that? Better yet what the hell do you think you're doing? I just slept with you once that doesn't mean that we are a couple or that I even care about you. You were just an easy lay. No one claimed you so I just took what I thought might be a good time. Turns out I was wrong." He turns and walks away leaving Katherine standing in front of most of the school with her mouth opening and closing like a fish.

She turns around and I can see the embarrassment on her face. When she looks in my direction I know that I am in for it. She marches over to me and I notice Pearce stand in front of me as if he is going to protect me from her attack.

"You bitch! I know you did something to make him turn on me. Are you trying to get me back for that little dork I stole from you? God, you're pathetic. So I slept with the boy you liked on the day of your first date. That doesn't mean that you have to steal what I want." She raises her hand and before anyone can stop it she slaps me.

Gasps are heard all around the hallway as people are shocked at what they saw. I just turn my face back to her and look her dead in the eye. She has a fire in her eyes that makes me tremble with fear of what she will do once we get home. Then again she may be biding her time and planning on doing something way worse after a while.

"I did nothing. I was at work all night until I came home. I have no interest in taking something that you think belongs to you." I walk off towards my first class knowing that everyone is watching and that I will be the talk of the school for the day.
