Chapter. 25

Catherine walked into the courtyard with her lunch in her hands. A wooden container wrapped in a purple cloth "Finally, Vinny is coming over to my side." Catherine almost skipped as she went through the courtyard. Looking around for a spot she saw Levi sitting in the grass with a few other people. Feeling smug Catherine strolled over to her.

"Hello there Levi. I see you have found some friends."

Levi stood up and dusted off her coat. "Hello Catherine. What brings you here?"

"Lunch with my boyfriend."

"I don't see anyone. Are you so lonely you're started dating the demons in you mind?"

Catherine inhaled then smiled. "We'll see see how smug you are when all you have is your jabs to hold you in the night. I am having lunch with Vinny, who asked, again asked me to do so with me. I told you no one will take him away from me."

"Then where is he?"

"Getting his lunch from his bike. Knowing him its properly something prepackaged he bought on the way to school." Catherine then winked to Levi then holds up her food. "But once he has my food he'll love me, and only me. What do you say to that ice queen?"

"Burst link." Levi smiled as she looked at Catherine. "You sure? Maybe you should to take a look." Levi pointed to the rooftop.

Catherine waved Levi off. "Burst link." The world turned blue and she spun around to find Vincent. On the roof she found two brain burst players. Eminence Tyrant and Prism Rose. The world returned to normal and Catherine threw her lunch on the ground. "Fucking bastard! Fucking whore!" Catherine stomped on her lunch. "That fucking asshole left me for her?! Some shrinking violet?"

Levi couldn't hold her snickering back and started to laugh. "What!?" Catherine turned to Levi then to her friends, then slowly turned to see everyone in the courtyard looking at her, some even laughing. Catherine spun back to Levi and grabbed her by the collar.

"Careful Catherine, There are cameras here." Catherine's hands were shacking. She glared at Levi who wore a smug smile. "Do it. I dare you."

"Fine." Catherine shoved Levi away, she picked up her destroyed lunch and stormed off. Once she was back indoors Catherine wore a wicked smile. "Alright Vinny. you like submissive girls? I can play submissive."

Levi shook her head and raised a finger to press a button. "Recording complete. Oh Catherine, if only you knew how much fun you bring me." Levi went back to friends.

...

Vincent and Rebecca walked down the school hall as the lunch break was almost over. They reach her class and Vincent opened the door. "Here we are. See you after school?"

"Yes. Thank you V. I really had fun."

"Glad you liked it. We can make it an everyday thing if you're up for it."

"I'd like that."

"Say cheese!" The two turned to see Corina run up to them. "You two are so, so cute together!"

"Coco?" Vincent asked with a hint of wonder.

"You didn't know we went to the same school? Reby didn't tell you? We're in the same class!"

"I... uh." Rebecca covered her eyes with her hair.

Corina brushed Rebecca;'s hair back. "I get it. You forgot when you're with you boyfriend. I do that too."

"Would you stop with that?" Vincent crossed his arms.

Corina leans closer to Vincent. "It's true, isn't it?"

Vincent relaxed and sighed. "Then I'll be leaving her in your care for now."

"You got it! As long as you look after Lyle for me."

"Lyle?"

Corina stood back and gave Vincent a side glance. "He's in you class. Lyle said you didn't notice but... You really didn't?"

"Catherine was in my class."

"You were focused on her?"

"More like how much I want to tear her throat out."

"Well now you know."

"Thank you Coco. I'll see you in a bit Reby."

"Me too V."

Vincent nods with a grin as he walks to his own class.

Reaching his classroom Vincent opened the door to find Catherine standing by his deck with a crushed box on it. "I waited for you..." Catherine hung her head when Vincent got closer. "I made you a lunch..."

Vincent picked up the ruined box and tossed it across the room into the trash. "Knowing you its poisoned."

"I'm sorry..."

"No you're not." Vincent sat at his desk While Catherine went to hers.

"I just wanted to be with you Vinny."

"I don't."

Catherine clinched her fists. "I don't like being ignored, but I can't stand being stood up." Catherine turned to Vincent. "This will have consequences Vinny. BIG Consequences." Vincent didn't look at her. Catherine's body was shacking, she grabbed Vincent's shirt collar. "Look at me when I'm talking to you, you fucking ungrateful asshole!"

"There it is." Vincent tilts his head. "What's wrong? Don't like it when someone lies to you? Makes you look like an idiot?" Vincent smirked. "Doesn't feel good, does it?" He then grabbed Catherine's hands and pulled them off of him. "Now get the hint and get lost, I got no time for thots."

Catherine sat at her desk and went back to watching the door. After a while it opened again as the other students came in. One of them was Lyle. The two locked eyes and nodded before Lyle took a seat in the front.

"Lyle, Coco, Rebecca, and... Catherine. If Levi is here that would be perfect." Vincent received a message from Rebecca.

Hello V. Thank you the lunch. I promise I'll make you proud this a lunch you'll never forget! xoxo

Vincent smiled as he wrote a reply and sent it. "I've known her since summer started. We get alone great. She's someone who made me smile. Someone I want to protect. Maybe Coco is right"

Catherine tightened her fist as she watched Vincent's reactions. "You belong to me Vinny. you're MY child. Looks like it's time for mommy to deal some harsh discipline."
