and making his way towards the filing cabinet. He brought out a file that seemed to be overflowing with papers, he then went back and got another file.

"What on earth is that?" I wondered aloud.

"That Miss Clair is two of Mr. Storm's files, everything from kindergarten until now."

I looked at Gavin who seemed proud of his overflowing files, "Shall we take a look?" Mr. Chubby asked.

He cleared his throat. "December 5, 2007 Mr. Storm released frogs from the since lab into his sixth grade classroom. January 11, 2005, Mr. Storm loosened the bolts of his teachers chair causing her to fall down and break her neck. March 12, 2002 Mr. Storm glued one of his classmates onto his seat. Now that is only a few of the things Mr. Storm has done, I doubt you want me to go on. Because frankly, it would take a good year to get through all this." He said, putting the papers he was reading off, back into the files. "But to add to his record, January 31 2013, Mr. Storm and Miss Clair." Mr. Chubby said turning to me, "Started a food fight, on Miss Clair's first day of school."

"Were you raised with wolves as a child? What on earth is wrong with you?" I exclaimed.

Gavin shrugged in response, "You learn to try new things."

Mr. Chubby put both files back into the filing cabinets and took a seat down on his desk. "And that is some of the things we know about. Since there is less than two hours of school left, you two can go ahead and get started on your cafeteria duties." Mr. Chubby said, dismissing us.

We got up and headed towards the door. As soon as I closed the door behind me, we walked out of the office and Gavin suddenly turned to me and pinned me against the wall. "You will regret ever stepping foot in to this school," His dark brown eyes piercing into my brown ones.

"The only thing I regret is allowing you to come to close to me, I can smell your nasty breath." I said, trying to push him off me. "Did your mom ever raise you with manners? Get off me!" I told him fiercely.

He smirked, a dark look flashing through his eyes. "Awe, does this make you uncomfortable, nerd?"

"Actually it does, now I am giving you three seconds to get off me." I said, angrily.

It only made him push himself even closer to me, I was frankly getting annoyed by his close proximity. Then remembered what Holly told me. 'If there is anyone who could tame Gavin and his player ways it would be you.'

I smirked thinking of a devious plan, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he seemed surprised with my action but went along with it by putting his hands on my waist.

If only he knew.

I tugged on his neck bringing his lips closer to mine. When his lips were inches away from mine, I whipped my head towards his ear. "Never mess with a girl's hair," I whispered. 

When I pulled away, he looked confused by my message. I smirked raising my knee up and kneed him where the sun don't shine. He took a sharp intake of breath and went down clutching his family jewels.

I smiled at my work. My dad always told me 'always kick a man where the sun don't shine, and next time he'll think twice.'

I squatted and went next to Gavin who was now curled up in a ball swearing like a sailor. "Let this be a lesson to you I heard what you do, and let us get it straight now, I am not or ever will be one of your girls, and don't even think of trying to get me, because I doubt you want to be in the same position." I said patting his head and leaving the scene. I knew the bell would ring any moment and people will start pouring out of their classrooms and if one of Gavin's worshipers saw this I doubt all they would do was glare at me.

Before I left, I heard Gavin say one thing that I would forever regret. "You never kick a man in the balls, because nerd you just started war and I don't play to get even I play to win and I never lose."

For the second time today I thought.

What have I just done? Chapter Five: A Day with Sarah

"Ow!" I said for the hundredth time today. "Ow! Mother would you tell her to stop poking me?"

"After almost getting suspended on your first day?" She asked in disbelief, "You’re very lucky that it was me who answered that call instead of your father or else he would have pulled you out of school faster than you could blink."

I rolled eyes. It's been a week since I got stuck with cafeteria duty and during that week Gavin didn't bother to show up. "Ow!" I looked at Sonya who was just poking me for fun now. "I swear poke me one more time and I'll take those sowing needles and poke your eyes out." I said quietly so my mother wouldn't hear, "Am I understood?" I looked at a now pale Sonya who seemed frightened by my threat, "Good."

Apparently my mother’s stay in Russia inspired her to create a new clothing line, and instead of using a mannequin to make her dress she was using me as my punishment. "Okay I think we are done for today," My mother said looking up from her phone. "You are free to go now, Alice."

"Thank the Lord." I muttered. There was nothing I hated more than helping my mother with her clothing line.

"Well, next time try not to start a food fight." She told me seriously.

I nodded. "Trust me it wasn't as much fun for me either," I mumbled walking out of the room.

"Um, nice dress." Someone said behind me.

I turned around to see Ben looking at my unfinished dress in amusement. "Oh shut up!" I said, turning around and walking away from him.

"So what exactly are you doing?" He said, catching up to me.

"It's my punishment because my mom knows I hate it." I said, my mind somewhere else. We made it to my room I didn't miss the weird glances the guards gave me when I pass them. I went into my closet to change out of this unfinished dress, while Ben took a seat on my bed. 

I stripped out of the blue dress and put on a skirt and blouse my usual evening wear. Running my fingers through my knotted hair I turned back towards Ben. "So what exactly are you doing here?"

"Boredom." He said, getting comfortable on my bed.

"It's Saturday and you have nothing to do?" I asked, curious. He nodded, "Wow someone doesn't have many friends." I told him.

"I have friends I just can't stand them." He said, honesty.

"So you can't stand me?" I said, joking.

He looked me dead in the eye. "Who said we were friends?"

"If we aren't friends, then why don't have a stranger in my room, you could be rapist for all I care."

He smirked at me, "So what does the calendar have planned for us today?"

"What do you mean us?"

"Well I am your bodyguard after all." He said amused, by my discomfort.

"Um, what do you want to do?"

"Doesn't matter." He said, shrugging. It was quiet for a couple of minutes when Ben spoke up. "I could give you a tour around DC, if you want cause I doubt you really know your way around the city let alone your own house."

"I so do," I argued back. He raised his eyebrows at me, "At least I know it better than you." I muttered.

He rolled his eyes. He then opened his mouth to say a comeback but my phone ringing cut him off.

I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Sarah. I mouthed sorry to Ben and answer the phone.

"Hey Sarah!" I chirped, over the last week, Sarah and I have gotten really close she even started sitting with Holly, Ben and I at lunch.

"Hey, Ali I was wondering if you wanted to come over today, that is if you’re not under house arrest." She said, jokingly.

I let out a laugh. "Sure I'll be over in ten," We then said our goodbyes, hanging up.

"So, that's a no for today isn't it?" I heard Ben say.

"Oh," I said totally forgetting about our plans we made just a couple of minutes ago. "I'll call her back and cancel," I told him honestly and was about to start dialing Sarah's number.

He grabbed the phone away from my hands I looked at him confused. "Nah its fine, we'll get lost in DC another time."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "I thought you said you know your way around?"

"I lied." He said, bluntly. "Just like how I lied and said that was a nice dress."

My jaw dropped and I smacked him on the chest, "You fat liar."

He shrugged getting up from my bed. "It wasn't really a lie when you think of it. It was more of a feeling savor," He replied, grabbing my arm and dragging me out of my room.

I snorted. "Feeling savor? The dress wasn't even finished yet and you’re calling it ugly."

He just gave me a look that said really? As we made our way out the front door. "So you’re going to drop me at Sarah's house?" I asked him.

He nodded getting into his truck. "Yeah, I got nothing to do and I am your driver." He muttered.

I strapped my seat-belt in and turned to Ben as we started driving towards the gates. "Being my driver isn't that bad," I told him.

"Really?" He said shocked. "We were late twice last week, because someone forgot to set her alarm, then you demanded I take you to the local bakery so you can grab your so called 'precious coffee' cause you forgot to eat breakfast." He said, as we waited for the gates to open.

I huffed as Ben waved to one of the guards who opened the gate as we passed through. "You should have offered like a gentlemen, plus have you tried there coffee? I swear it is like heaven in a cup, I say they just turn that place into a coffee store."

"Offered? We were running late!" He exclaimed, ignoring everything I said about the bakery store.

I ignored him and turned up the radio. One direction 'kiss you' was playing. Normally I didn't really listen to boy bands or the music today cause it was all garbage. But, I saw how Ben winced as he heard the song playing, making me turn it up.

"Oh I just wanna take you anywhere that you like, we can go out any day any night, Baby I'll take you there take you there, Baby I'll take you there, there." I sang along out of tune to annoy Ben even more.

He then started to grip the steering wheel causing his knuckles to turn white.
