He used to hate her

Chapter 7

" Shit, you did this on purpose bitch," I let out the words angrily.

" Mind your language. Everyone knows who's the bitch here," Xander defended her, grabbing other's attention. Does he have to trust Veronica so blindly? I don't want to curse him but he will be suffering for this. He will suffer because he chooses the wrong person and hated someone who loved him.

" Your girlfriend should atleast apologize to her," Henry asked Xander politely.

" Are you seriously helping her? She deserves this and much more." Xander said without thinking twice. The music in the hall has decreased and all eyes are on us. Probably everyone thinks I'm the bad person here. The girl who tried to steal her best friend's boyfriend. Only I knows the real truth.

" I don't need to ask sorry to her. First of all, why did you even invited here, Henry? So, she should try to steal any other's boyfriend here," Veronica said with a smirk. She doesn't have a heart at all. LIAR.

" Who's here trying to steal other's boyfriend? You know who it is, don't you, Veronica?" Sofia appeared from the crowd. Veronica's face gone pale but she's trying to keep herself calm.

There's no use in making a fight. It's embarrassing for me. I should have said 'okay' when Sofia wished to stay with me instead of coming here.

" It's Madison. Everyone knows it." Veronica said confidently looking at others faces. I would like to argue. But is someone gonna believe me? No one. Literally no one. So, why should I care what others think of me?

" So, what if Iam? Think of me like a bitch, maniac or whatever you want. I don't care." I said like agreeing to Veronica. I'm not in control of myself. I already feel so giddy.

" Are you out of your mind?' Sofia hissed, grabbing my elbow.

" I'm talking rightly once in my life. Let me talk, Sofia." I told her and jumped on a table next to us. " Attention please," I shouted as the remaining students who are minding their own business started looking at me.

" What are you doing, Madison? Get out. You are going to embarrass yourself. You are already drunk," Henry pleaded to give his hands to get me down from the table. I ignored him and continued.

"I really have to talk to you all. Everyone here is just pissing me off by talking behind my back. I don't know which one is stupid. The person who is gossiping, rumouring or the person who is listening. Can't you all mind your own business? I have kissed a boy who has a girlfriend. That's when you started talking nonsense about me. Did I kissed any of you that day?" I talked without fear of surrounded by everyone. But I need to say this now or I will be annoyed by them every day.

I know a guy who was with us when I played truth or dare. He took a picture when I kissed Xander for a dare. That photo spread among my class and now I got no control over deleting it all.

" So, I turned towards the same guy and asked him, " Did I kissed you?"

He stood like a statue for a minute and said 'No'. " Then why the hell do you even want to involve in my life? I'm telling you all one thing if I ever saw anyone talking about me again, I will reveal one of your ugliest secrets to our whole school. If you don't believe me, try it and see the consequences." I warned all of them in my drunken state. Some of them opened their mouth but no words are spoken.

" Everyone can get back to doing whatever the hell you are doing," I said and tried to get down carefully without stumbling. The music turned on the next minute and I almost skipped. Oh, god, if I fall now, there will nothing more embarrassing than this.

My eyes automatically closed, as I felt someone caught me.

" Are you okay, Madison?" I heard Henry's voice. I looked at his face, his blonde hair and the sharp jawline.

" Yeah, I'm good," I said, without taking my eyes off him. Am I admiring Henry. No, I shouldn't.

" You can drop me down,"

" Okay, but don't fall," He said making me stand on my feet. I looked back at the crowd of students. Still, some of the eyes are on me. Including Xander. I could see Xander's eyes straight in my direction in the dim light but I could figure out his expression.

" Come on, let's go upstairs," Henry got hold of my hands and we climbed the stairs. I didn't get time to search for Sofia but just followed Henry.

" Thanks for defending me. I thought you would be on Xander's side."

" I can't support the wrong side even if it's my close friend. Veronica clashed on you in purpose. I don't know why she's still mad at you even after getting back with Xander." Henry said as he went inside a room to get a new shirt for me.

If only I could tell him the truth. But I don't want to say it. What's done is done. Nothing's going to change it. I know why she's mad at me. She's afraid that I and Sofia might reveal that she's hanging out with other boys behind Xander. And she's creating a bad impression on me so no one would suspect her. Especially Xander.

" We don't have to talk about that. But I'm sure of one thing. She's gonna break Xander's heart." I told Henry.

" Sometimes, I also feel the same. So, is this shirt okay for you? You can give it back tomorrow." Henry said, giving his shirt to me.

" Um..yeah, thank you." I smiled at him and got inside his room to change it. He waited outside until I came back.

" So, what were we talking about?" I started trying to remember.

" Veronica's gonna break Xander's heart. I wish it should not happen. Xander only wants someone who could be true to him. A girl who doesn't want him for his money."

That's a nice wish, but he already recked it. Veronica's not the one he wished for. Right now, he's blind to see it.

" To be honest, I don't think that wish's possible. Do you ever have a wish like that?" I asked but I'm wishing he won't ask the same to me. Because my wish is to be with Xander. An impossible one. Now, I might move on.

" Yeah, I have. I wish you could kiss me," Henry said something that I didn't see it coming.
