Ch20: If Revenge Darkens My Heart, Then Call Me Rumpelstiltskin

"Let me write an article on you guys," Taylor insists and I shake my head.

"We just started dating," I say as I open my computer.

"Everyone is talking about it," she continues. "It'll make the school newspaper go crazy."

"I bet," I chuckle "but I'd rather you didn't write about my life."

"You ready to present kitten," Vincent says as he comes towards us.

"Call me Elliana," I turn to face him "but yes the presentation is ready."

"Princess," A voice calls and I scan the room. At the door I see Josh peeking his head inside and I smile. "Come here really quick?"

I quickly take my phone out and begin typing him a text.

I can't. I'm presenting today. Afterwards I'll leave for a few minutes.

A few seconds later he answers.

Okay, I'll be waiting ;)

"Are you two ready?" Ms. Edwards glares at us. Me and Vincent turn to look at each other before nodding. "Off you go then."

"Good job you two," Ms. Edwards claps and I smile.

We did do a good job.

"We're finally done with this," Vincent comments as he helps me take down everything we used for the presentation.

"Yes we are," I nod. "You did a really great job."

"I know," he smirks. "I'm good."

"Shut up," I roll my eyes. "This is why I don't complement you."

"I don't need your compliments," he shrugs. "I get many from other different places."

"Dillweed," I turn my computer off and take it with me towards my desk.

"Good job Bair," Pipper smiles and I smile back.

"I'm gonna go with Josh right now," I whisper. "Can you guys take the notes for me?"

"I got you," Taylor nods. "If you let me take a picture of you two for the newspaper. Just a picture."

"Fine," I roll my eyes. "One picture."

"Deal," she nods.

"Ms. Edwards," I raise my hand. "May go to the restroom?"

"Yes Ms. Bair," she nods "but do not take too long."

"Sure," I say under breath before walking out the classroom.

"Josh," I call out and he walks out from behind a wall.

"Good job at your presentation," he grins. "I saw it through the window on the door."

"Thanks," I smile and he comes towards me taking a hold of my hand.

"You have to go back inside?" He ask and I nod.

"In a little while," I say. "I don't want Edwards to hate me anymore than she already does. "

"Why does she hate you?"

"Because of Vincent," I chuckle. "He's always getting me in trouble."
