Page 59 of Hate Like Ours

“Why do you have to be such a bitch? Everyone else hates you and here I am, being nice to you. You’re acting like a stuck-up fat bitch who is too good for me when you’re nothing!” he snaps at me with venom in his voice. Yeah, he definitely doesn’t want me for me. My life is just one big game to all of them.

“I didn’t ask you to come over here, asshole!” I snap right back at him.

“You think because Knox said you’re off-limits until he’s done playing games with you that no one else can touch you? Think again, bitch. You’ll get what’s coming to you soon enough,” he says, smirking evilly at me.

A shiver runs down my spine. I don’t like the tone of his voice or the way he’s speaking to me right now. It’s like a promise of bad things to come and I instantly feel scared.

I don’t have the time to decipher everything he just said. I need to get out of here. I move to stand but he grips my wrist tightly. I try not to wince because he just grabbed a spot where the fresh cuts are.

“Let go of me, asshole!” I snap.

“You think your pussy is made of gold or something? Newsflash, it’s not. You’re just another whore here!” he snaps.

This guy really is delusional.

Before I know what he’s doing, he grabs my cup of drink and dumps it on my head. I let out a scream and he laughs. I lift my head up to look at him and my eyes just with Ivy’s. She’s standing at the edge of the food court and she has her phone out, probably taking a video. I stand to my feet but he’s still holding onto my wrist tightly.

“Let go of me!” I snap through clenched teeth. A fist sails past me and lands right into Trent’s face. He lets go of me instantly.

“I believe the young lady said to leave her alone, asshole!” the guy who punched Trent growls at him.

Trent hops up from his seat and throws a punch at the guy but misses. The new guy clocks him another one and Trent goes sprawling to the ground, knocked out cold.

I turn to look at the guy who helped me with wide eyes. I notice his knuckles are bleeding and I quickly grab some paper towels and give them to him, Trent already forgotten on the floor.

“Tha-thanks,” I stammer out. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Thanks. I thought I’d step in because a beautiful girl like yourself should not be talked down to like that,” he says. My cheeks turn red at the compliment and at the fact that he heard that.

“Um, thanks, I think,” I mumble.

“What’s your name, beautiful? Mine is Aiden,” he tells me.

“Mine is Raine,” I say.

“Let’s get out of here before security shows up,” he tells me and I nod in agreement. “Want to have a seat and just talk for a while? You look like you need company and we can chat while I wait for my girlfriend,” he says, giving me a smile.

I go to turn him down but then figure why the hell not. It’s not like I have that many friends to begin with. A new one won’t hurt.

“Sure,” I answer him and we walk over to one of the cafés that’s on the other side of the mall. We both take a seat. “So, do you live around here?”

“I actually live in Fairview, which is two towns over. I’m guessing you live in Riverside?” he asks and I shake my head. He gives me a boyish smile and I can’t help but smile too. I haven’t had someone be this nice to me for weeks and it feels good. It makes me realize what a cruel bitch life is. We get some drinks and talk for half an hour before his girlfriend shows up.

“Hi, baby,” she says as she walks over to our table. He gets up and gives her a hug before pulling her chair out for her. Aww, that’s so sweet. He’s such a gentleman.

“Hey, babe. Meet my new friend, Raine,” he tells her with a smile. “I saved her from that asshole Trent.”

“Ugh, that guy is such a creep!” she mutters.

“Right! I say, smiling at her.

“Oh I know who you are. I’m Saylor,” she says with a smile. Mine drops from my face.

“Oh,” I say.

“Don’t worry. I just meant I go to Riverside as well. I’m the year below you,” she says politely.

“Do you hate me too then?” I ask, wanting to know. It would suck to have made a friend and then couldn’t be friends anymore because his girlfriend hated me.
