“You’re not allowed to bother me while I’m using the bathroom,” I said.
“Oh, what are you going to do, then?” Amada’s laughter was patronizing. “Are you going to go tell on me to your boyfriend?”
My jaw stiffened. I finished doing what I had to do, cleaned myself up, pulled up my pants, flushed, and stood there on the other side of the door, debating whether to come out or not.
“Are you finished?” Amada sneered on the other side of the door.
My cheeks burned red-hot. “You are crossing an uncrossable line,” I warned. “You need to watch yourself.”
Amada’s laughter echoed through the bathroom. “Is the wimpy little humanreallytrying to threatenme?”
That was the last straw for me. I unlatched the lock and burst through the stall door, fuming. I was rigid. My posture was defensive. If I had to fight her in this bathroom, I would. I was desperate to get her to leave me alone. I wasn’t going to put up with Amada’s shit any longer. This ended today.
I was ready to resist her no matter what and stick up for myself.
“Howdareyou ambush me when I’m vulnerable and in a private situation,” I hissed through clenched teeth.
Amada sized me up, her eyes roaming over me with contempt. “Do youreallythink you are scaring me?” Her chortle was wicked. “It’s pitiful and pathetic, really.”
“Leave me alone,” I snarled.
Amada’s eyes narrowed, the blackness in them a void of hate. “Stay away from him.”
“He loves me.”
“He doesn’tloveyou. You are delusional,” she retorted snidely.
“Give up. He is withmenow, notyou.”
I sounded like I was trying to convince both of us, and I hated it, but I was upset, and my insecurities were coming out.
Amada pursed her lips and crossed her arms tightly across her chest. Her expression was diabolical, as if she were plotting my downfall and watching it play out in her imagination.
“Fornow.”
I didn’t know what the ‘for now’ comment meant, but I chose to ignore it.
“Why would he want to be with someone likeyouanyway?” I asked with a bout of comical laughter. “It’s hilarious that you would evenassumethat Cyburn would want to go anywherenearyou. You are so angry at the world. You hate everyone. You want everyone to be as miserable asyoubecause you don’t get your way.”
Amada’s glare was glacial. She stepped forward. She was much taller than me, but more petite than other Alesian women.
Her fantastic jewelry flashed in the fluorescent light above the bathroom mirrors. She poised herself, straightened her posture and loomed over me as if she wanted to tear me apart.
“Oh, don’t you worry. Ialwaysget my way.”
“Not this time.” I matched her chilly, aggressive glower.
“Stay away from him or you’ll regret it,” Amada warned.
“Your threats are empty. I’ve already learned that much,” I said. “You can’t do anything to hurt me.”
“You can’t hide behind him forever,” Amada threatened again.
“I’m nothiding,” I fired back through clenched teeth. “Youare the one who keeps pursuingme.”
Amada’s upper lip twitched, and her jaw tightened. She stared at me so viciously that it sent a chill trembling through my bones.
“He doesn’t love you.”
