SYLAQ'S POV

ONE MONTH LATER

DAMMIT! Ariella was not giving me any chance at all to come close to her. I stood up and paced around my huge office. Well, it was meant to be small but I made sure to get a huge one. The plan was to get close to hazelnut, have enough of her and get rid of her. But she wasn't even giving me the chance to come close to her. I could obviously just use my powers to get her but for some reason, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Getting rid of her didn't sit right with me. Seeing her get hurt caused me a kind of pain that I can't explain.

Unfortunately, I witnessed how she cried for Julie's and Kate's deaths and bloody fuck, that hurt the freaking hell out of me. It hurt more to know that I was responsible for her pain.

Yet, I wasn't going to give into these unknown feelings.

No matter what, I still had to be done with Project Ariella ASAP.

But first, she has to fall for me.

Whenever I flashed her smiles, she'd return them with deadly frowns and whenever I tried to get close to her, she'd totally ignore me like I didn't exist.

The real problem was Steve Willows. She felt obligated to him even though he wasn't worth it. I was wasting too much time on project Ariella and I needed to speed up things. Should I just get rid of Steve? I guess it's bye-bye, Steve fucking Willows. I left my simply decorated office and went to the basketball court.

ARIELLA'S POV

Rachel and I were sitting among the spectators cheering for our boyfriends.

I had to stay away from MR. Wrong because I couldn't risk cheating on my boyfriend. Seeing as MR. Steel was wrong for me In every way, I decided to be calling him MR. Wrong. Besides, he was my teacher and he was also very mysterious. Ugh, Dad would for sure kill him if he found out that MR. Wrong had been making moves on his daughter. It was kind of creepy to see him everywhere, he was always just around. The only place he dared not to show up was at my house and for his good, he had better not come.

"I still can't believe that we lost Kate and Julie due to what we don't know of," I expressed, feeling dazed and sad.

"Yeah, Austin is badly affected by Kate. He's playing basketball in hopes that it will reduce his pain," Rachel told me.

"Only God knows the kind of animal that might have killed them," I voiced out my thought.

"It's obviously a vampire," Rachel rolled her eyes. It's not possible cause those creatures don't exist.

"I don't think so," I sighed.

I spotted MR. Wrong walking in like a prince. I was so sure he was gonna come to me like he always did. He didn't get that I was dating Steve and that he was my teacher. When he came, I'd give him a fitting reply just wait and see.

Ouch!

He just passed my seat and he didn't even say hello.

Shouldn't you be happy that he didn't flirt with you? My subconscious attacked me but I wasn't happy, I was disappointed and I was more disappointed with myself that I felt that way.

"I need to go to the bathroom," I told Rachel and then left the court angrily.

SYLAQ'S POV

"Hey! Wait up," I said to Paul, a random History Student of mine. He was on his way to the court so this was my opportunity to execute my plan.

"MR. Steel, can't this wait 'cause I'll be late for my game," the tall black-haired Paul who's on his basketball jersey said hurriedly.

"I just need you to seriously injure Steve Willows in the game. Make sure that the injury is so bad that they take him to the hospital," I compelled him to do that.

***

I deliberately ignored Ariella who looked hot in a yellow sweatshirt on a black tiger skin skirt cause she needed to feel the pain of rejection.

From her expression, it was obvious that she was angry with me causing me to feel satisfied. Did she think I was gonna go after her forever? Well, she was clearly deceiving herself.

My eyes were focused on the game cause I need to watch how Steve will be injured. Steve took the ball from Paul and then he fired a victorious shot. The people cheered for him. Then I saw that Paul pushed Steve slightly which almost made him fall. Thanks to my super hearing, I could hear Steve say to Paul, "dude, why are you playing so violently?"

However, Steve continued playing but Paul who was now with the ball threw the heavy ball directly at Steve's face and immediately, the fool fell flat to the ground. His massive fall was followed by gasps and screams from the audience, the poor thing began to gosh out blood from his upper nose and his already ugly face instantly become more hideous. However, Paul tried to run away but he was swiftly caught by the coach and other team players. "I really don't know why I did that. Steve, I'm truly sorry," Paul wailed, remorse and confusion spread across his features.

Steve's injury would be temporary, it wasn't the right time to permanently kill the idiot.

Perhaps, I was investing too much time in Project Ariella, and maybe, Ariella was somewhat cheating her way into my head but that wouldn't be for long. It couldn't and wouldn't last for long. Ariella Reas would be mine but I'd never be hers.

ARIELLA'S POV

Dread washed over me when I saw the school paramedics taking Steve away. His face was plastered  inwith a huge bruise and he was bleeding. Oh no, this was just bad. Steve had very sensitive skin so he might have a hard time recovering. I was alarmed to see that it was actually Paul who injured Steve, Paul was a very good friend of Steve's and it just felt very odd that he would harm him.

Paul was being dragged by other team players and the coach to the Principal's office while Austin, Rachel, and I obviously followed the Paramedics to the hospital.

Right now, I just hope that I don't lose him cause he's been a great and supportive boyfriend even though I've been a very bad girlfriend lately.
