I leaned into her so only she could hear me. “You haven’t even begun to see a tantrum, White,” I warned her. “Now, if you ever ignore me again like you did this weekend, I will show up at your motherfucking house and cause a scene.”
Kenzlee’s eyes widened at the threat. “Talon, you cannot be serious!”
“Try me, White,” I challenged. “Now, like a good boyfriend, I gave you time to get ahold of yourself and come to terms with our relationship, but I won’t be doing that a second time, so I suggest you give in gracefully and save us both the headache.”
Kenzlee straightened to her full height, and swear to God, looked me in the eye as she said, “Friday night didn’t mean-”
I had my hand around her throat with her body pressed harder into the metal behind her and almost lost my motherfucking mind. “I swear to God, Kenzlee…if you tell me Friday night didn’t mean anything, I will fuckingkillyou, right here in front of everyone.”
“Talon,” she whispered sadly, “I wasn’t going to say that.”
I immediately let go of her neck and crossed my arms over my chest. “Then what the fuck were you going to say?”See?Driving me goddamn crazy.
Then she had me ready to give up the fight and just hand over my sanity to her on a silver fucking platter when she placed a hand on my chest and said, “I was going to say that Friday night didn’t mean that suddenly I was going to start doing everything you say.”
“Kenzlee, you need to give me something before I lose my goddamn mind,” I warned her. “You need to give mesomething.”
I could tell from the expression on her face that she knew I was serious. This goddamn girl held my sanity in her hands. “Talon, I-” The first warning bell rang cutting her off. She shook her head. “Look, we’re going to be late for class…”
“Talon,what?” I prompted, but then I knew I must have been at my wit’s end because that’s the only excuse I have for the words I said next. “Oh, I see. My dick was good enough to make you cum, but my bank account is still lacking too many commas for you to pick up the phone, is that it?”
The slap echoed throughout the entire hallway.
You could feel everyone within witnessing distance freeze in shock at Kenzlee’s attack. It was like even the dust particles in the air froze in anticipation of what was going to happen next.
My face burned like a sonofabitch, but Kenzlee’s face was red with fury.“You bastard!”she raged. “Youfuckingbastard!” Her hands hit my chest in a weak attempt to push me back. “You sorry sonofabitch!”
I dropped my arms and grabbed her by her arms. “The truth hurt?”
“You don’t know anything about me,” she yelled. “After all the time you’ve put into…intostalkingme, you still don’t knowanythingabout me!”
“Is that right?” I growled, pushing back up against the lockers. “Because I can tell you what I do know about you. I know that boyfriend of yours was wearing a watch that costs just as much as a car.”
Kenzlee got right back in my face, all her polite breeding upbringing gone. “You know what else myboyfriendhas? He’s got a nice house, a great car, limitless credit cards, and myvirginity,” she spewed as she turned to walk away from me, forgetting all about her book.
I reached for her, but she evaded my grasp, and I didn’t care who was watching. “Don’t fucking walking away from me, Kenzlee!” I roared down the hallway.
All pretenses gone, Kenzlee turned around and yelled back, “You don’t get to tell me what to do, Talon! Friday night didn’t make you special,” she taunted, outing us. “All it did was make yousecondin a long list of many to come!”
I took off after her, and her eyes widened a split second before she turned around and started running herself. I chased Kenzlee with every muscle in my body working together to get my hands on her, because I was fucking. Going. To. Kill. Her.
Unfortunately, she made it into the school office before I could catch up with her, and the little sanity I still possessed kept me from rushing in there and just fucking her up.
But there was always lunchtime.

Kenzlee~
I hid in the nurse’s station all first period like a coward.
Alexandria had texted me with a demand to know what the hell was going on because my run in with Talon had been recorded and already making the rounds throughout campus. I texted back that I was okay and that I was taking a breather in the nurse’s station, but I assured her I’d tell her all about it during lunch.
If I survived that long.
Turns out, life went from high school teenage drama to Mafia style threats of terror. I had managed to get through second and third period without seeing Talon, and to my surprise, he wasn’t in fourth period. I figured he was so livid he must have gone home.
I was wrong.
