▪︎ Chapter Twenty-Two ▪︎

As I played the video, my mouth literally dropped to the ground.

I watched as I embarrassed myself on the dance floor thinking I was dancing. I looked like a squid! I cannot believe he shot this video of me and he still had it. I decided to text him back.

Me: What the heck, Blake! Delete that video now 😩😩😩

Me: Pleaseeee 😭😭😭

Me: How could you do this to me?

Me: You're the worst!

Me: I hate you.

Me: I am so going to get you for this.

The worst part about everything is that he wasn't even replying, but I bet my favourite sneakers that he was reading it and he was laughing. I angrily put off my phone and went to bed, thinking of ways to get away with murder.

*  *  *  *  *

I got to school the next day with only one thing in mind, skin Blake alive. Yes, I was that aggressive especially when it had to do with me embarrassing myself.

"Please can I watch it?" Clover asked. We were sat in our Calculus class and I had just finished telling her about the video and how I was going to kill Blake when I set eyes on him but here she was asking to watch that embarrassing video. The teacher barely noticed us or maybe he just didn't care.

"No, Clover, you cannot see that video. I just can't believe you!" I exclaimed, turning to face the teacher.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really just want to see a drunk Dani" she said, laughing.

"Well you're not going to" I retorted, turning back to her "Now, the goal is to get Blake to delete the video from his phone"

"Yeah fine, but if you could just let me see the video once, please" she started again, pleading this time.

"No, Clover" I said and gave up on her. I was going to have to do this myself.

The only time I could see him was third period because it was free for both of us, so I looked forward to that.

The second period passed by and soon we were in our free period. Clover, Thomas and I stood at mine and Clover's locker. They were talking, and Clover seemed to be excited about something. I wondered what they were talking about. I decided to call Blake to know where he was or where he was going to be and he picked up on the second ring.

"If it isn't my favourite dancer" he said into the phone, amusement evident in his voice.

"Blake how could you do this to me?" I started, glaring daggers into the wall in front of me.

"What did I do?" He feigned innocence "You were the one doing all the dancing and as a good friend, I decided to record that rare moment"

"A rare moment where I absolutely embarrass myself in front of people? Way to go bestie" I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Relax, the people there barely knew what was going on around them, they were wasted" he said, finding amusement at my expense. I was so going to kill him.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" I asked "Wasted or not, people saw and now I find out that there's a video! Why didn't you stop me?"

"You have no idea how stubborn you can be when you're drunk Dani" he scoffed "And trust me, I tried".

"Ugh! Where are you?" I asked.

"Why?" He teased.

"So I can come delete that video from your phone, or better still throw the whole phone down the toilet just to be on the safe side" I replied, not even hiding my intentions.

At that, he burst out laughing.

"There's no way I'm letting you do that, that video is priceless and I'm going to keep it forever" he said as his laughter died down "And besides, it's safe on my phone, I promise not to show anyone"

"No, it's not safe on your phone and you had better not show anyone" I threatened "What if Steve or someone from the cheerleading team happen to go through your phone and boom, they come across that video?"

At the thought of that, I cringed. I know you think I'm exaggerating but on my hate list, right after the Vipers, which is number one, is embarrassment. I know it's something we can't escape, but I try my possible best to, hence the stage fright.

"Nothing like that can happen. Steve is never allowed to go through my phone and neither are those cheerleaders" he tried again but I wasn't having it.

"Fine, but where are you?" I asked again.

"I'm not telling" he replied in a sing song manner. Why was he acting like such a baby?! I was getting frustrated now.

"I swear I'm going to kill you Blake" I said and then hung up, but not before catching the sound of his laughter through the phone.

I then thought to ask Thomas, maybe he knew where Blake was.

"Sorry to interrupt" I said, going over to them "But do you know where Blake is?" I asked.

"Yeah, I saw him heading towards the gym some minutes ago" he replied innocently. He had no idea what he had just done but he just made my work easier.

"Thanks a lot. I gotta go now, see you guys later" I waved to them, a smile on my face and left.

I got to the gym some minutes later and walked in. I looked around but he wasn't there. I started to walk back, my eyes scanning the scanty hallway for him, when I spotted him heading towards the boy's locker room.

"Blake!" I called, just as he got to the door. At first he stopped and turned to face me, but then he smirked, pushed open the door and went in.

"Son of a gun" I muttered as I ran up to the door. He knew I couldn't enter the boy's locker room because, well, it's called the boy's locker room for a reason, so he definitely did that on purpose. I looked through the glass to see it was empty and he was the only one there.

Most people had class so the hallway was almost empty, else, I wouldn't have been caught dead looking into the boy's locker room.

I decided to wait. I waited out there for some minutes for him to freshen up, but he still didn't show. I then looked through the glass again to see that he was just sitting there and going through his phone. Ugh! I brought out my phone and decided to text him.

Me: Come out and face me like a man, you big baby.

Blaky: No 😂😂, this is my safe place, you can't get me in here.

And then a thought crossed my mind.

Me: Oh yeah?

Blaky: Yep😌

And then I did the stupidest thing I had ever done in my entire life. I entered into the boy's locker room. Blake looked up at the sound of the door opening and his expression morphed from a cheeky grin into that of someone who had just seen a ghost.

"Oh my God Dani, this is the boy's locker room, you can't be in here, leave now before someone sees you" he warned, standing up.

"You thought I couldn't get you in here, didn't you? Well I proved you wrong now delete that video off your phone" I replied, crossing my arms across my chest and walked towards him.

"No way, I recorded that video fair and square" he said, mirroring my stance.

"I'm the one in the video so I ask you to delete it" I tried again.

"Nuh-uh, video stays" he said again. With that, I lunged towards him and started trying to get the phone but he placed it so high above his head, I could barely reach it.

"Come on Blake, please" I pleaded as I kept jumping.

"No" he said again, seemingly enjoying this.

I tried dragging his arm down with all my strength and then he lost his balance. Before I knew what was happening, he fell backwards, carrying me along with him. We landed in such an awkward position with me lying on top of him and his hand around my waist.

He seemed to be in a dazed state as he stared at me, I stared back in shock, but then I remembered why I was there and I took that opportunity to grab his phone, snapping him out of his daze.

Just as I was about to get up, a group of boys walked in. Shit.
