The fact that he will never look at her the same way she does had always eaten her soul away slowly when she grew into a fine youth. She still had to cover up her beauty and she became known as the school"s nerd. Although, no one bullied her again because of Chad"s protection, but after her mother"s death she became a sh.e.l.l of herself and kept the forbidden love buried deep in her heart and her beauty alongside her curves were kept with tattered looking clothes, a thick-rimmed gla.s.ses and the band that broke when Greer hit her now which was given by her mother.Greer grew silent for some time before the pain that came with her hands being held brought her back, staring at Alicia, she started screaming "You s.l.u.t, b.i.t.c.h, get away from me, release me okay, so this was how you got Chad to listen to you by seducing him with your looks, you witch" The more she stared at Alicia the angrier she got.
Alicia released her "I never seduced brother Chad and I definitely did not report you to him" Alicia replied gently, her beautiful voice sounding throughout the room which grew awfully quiet. Chad who was about to enter the room seeing the scene where Greer slapped Alicia earlier stood rooted to the ground. He stared at that beautiful face that was now red with palm imprints, even the tears that came from her eyes looked like dew. "How come I never noticed how beautiful she was before". He was still in a trance until he heard Greer"s scream.
He was so mad that he moved forward but instantly stood still again on hearing Alicia speak "That"s my Alice"s he said to himself half smiling. Chad decided to stay behind the curtain he has been hiding behind since earlier for some time now before he stepped forward, while still thinking of what to ask Alicia he heard Greer speak again
"Are you kidding me right now, you have always been in love with him, the way you smile when you think he is not looking, the food you cook for him and pretend his mother sent you to give to him. The way you look at him when you think n.o.body else sees you. Do you need me to go on with the list? You knew I wasn"t who I claimed I was for a long time but you never acted on it, but now you cannot bear to see him loving someone else that isn"t you. You know what you are, you are nothing but a s.l.u.t, a coward, a bas..."
PAK
This sound was clearly louder than the first "You... You hit me, you s.l.u.t, wh.o.r.e. You actually dare to hit me" Greer had grown hysterical by now. Alicia looked at her and laughed, her laughter filling the room like crystal bells.
Chad felt his heart beating faster as she laughed and as he heard her beautiful voice. The voice he hadn"t heard for almost 12 years, wait he did hear it once, he just couldn"t remember where. He watched as Alicia moved gracefully and delivered another sound slap to Greer who was just getting up "Sl....." and yet another one till Greer"s face was swollen after how many he couldn"t even count.
Alicia moved backward after she was satisfied and as if proud of her "hand work" on the shocked Greer who couldn"t even make a sound she grinned. In her shocked state, Greer heard Alicia"s words "Yes, I hit you and I think I have proven that I will do it again and again and again until you learn some manners. Brother Chad loved you with everything he had, did you think I was happy seeing you two all lovey-dovey in front of me? No, but at least I was happy for him cause he stopped sleeping around which meant he was serious about you"
