Where I Belong #Wattys2021

Chapter 20

"What going on here?" Adrien asked his voice full of skepticism. I should be annoyed that he was glaring at me with such doubtful eyes, rather I was more afraid of facing him.

"It's not what you think Adrien." I mutter which earned me a stronger stare.

"Majority of people who say it's not what you think is precisely what we ought to think Mia"

Okay, I'm mad.

I'm offended, bitch!

"Are you saying you're doubting me?" I snap. He didn't feel guilty. More like he was pressing me to reveal the truth.

"I have no idea who the hell this guy even is!"

"That's rude. You do know who I am. I'm Shyne"

Yeah. That helps a lot kid.

"No one cares what your name is kid."

Adrien took a couple of steps towards us. My feet were about to take steps back. But I forced myself to stay still. It'll just make things worse if I stepped back. And why should I? I did nothing wrong.

"So you don't know who the guy is yet you allow him to touch you?" His gaze was now pressed on Shyne's hands on my waist.

"Look," I start sighing "I tripped okay? And the kid helped me from falling on my butt."

"And he just so happened to be there to rescue you?"

"No, he fucking superman'd himself here to save a freaking girl who was, oh! Trying to run away from a guy who bloody confused her!" I didn't mean to yell but fuck you all. I'm mad and beyond pissed.

"So that's why you were running like a roadrunner? From him?" Shyne asked. He doesn't look bothered more like excited as if he'd received some wonderful juicy news.

Sigh.

And I thought girls were drama.

"Why?" Adrien's voice cut through my thoughts. "Why did you run away?"

Seriously? Did he actually ask me such an obvious question?

"Maybe you did something naughty while she was asleep? Hey is it true that the two of you live in the same house?" The guy behind me said wiggling his chocolate brown eyes at me and Adrien.

"Which class are you in?" Adrien asked ignoring his statement while my face was beetroot red.

I'm like a freaking virgin!

Uh, Amelia? You are a virgin.

Okay okay, conscience, I know.

"First year, class four." Shyne replied nonchalantly. Most of the time the guys of this school hate to confront Adrien. And if they did, they wouldn't talk in such a manner. This Shyne guy was something else I tell yah. He oozed funny business.

"Your Shyne Fendis aren't you?"

Shyne's eyes lit up at once when Adrien recognized him.

"How'd you guess so correctly?"

"Mia," he cleared his throat, "Amelia, mentioned your name. You're the only Shyne in the first year. Apart from that, I've got complaints about you."

"From girls?" The weird kid asked his eyes twinkling

"Guys," Adrien said with a rough tone. "Guys complaining you stealing their girlfriends and then breaking off with them"

No shit. I knew this guy was funny business. But he's more than a Playboy
