Chapter 19- The Punishment
~Gill's POV~
She stood me up. Me. Bad choice on her part. Being on the future mayor's bad side is not a good place to be.
I chose not to go to the festival when I saw Coryn run off with that bull-headed cook, Chase. I didn't completely understand it at the time, but I think I felt…a bit jealous. I have never known that feeling before.
'She's gorgeous' was the first thought that entered my mind when I saw her standing on my doorstep. I had lied to her, saying, "Well, you aren't the most gorgeous girl I've seen, but I guess you're okay."
She got so pissed off that she had snatched her dainty hand away from mine and began yelling in my face like a mad woman.
I said I'd pick her up around ten, and I completely ignored her protestations. I really didn't care whatsoever. I just wanted to make her mine; the gorgeous auburn haired, emerald eyed woman.
I stormed back to my house, ignoring the festival and trying my best to avoid everyone. I slammed the door in rage, then went into my bedroom and slammed that door too. I sat on my wooden chair next to my desk and groaned, my head in my hands as I leaned on the desk.
"Why am I not good enough? I thought aloud. "What makes her like that rude cook more than me?" I scowled.
I came up with a plan as I sat there. I would confront Coryn tomorrow.
I headed to Coryn's house at about eight the next morning. I knew Chase wouldn't be with her yet.
Her door was right in front of me, and I suddenly got nervous. I pushed the feeling away quickly, disregarding it completely. I was being ridiculous. I reached my knuckles towards the door. I knocked softly. I immediately heard some shuffling inside the house, and the door opened slowly.
Coryn stood there in the doorway with a small smile on her face that only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The moment she realized it was me at the door, her smiled dropped into a slightly worried frown. She wouldn't look me in the eyes. I glared at her.
"Well, if it isn't little miss sneaky." I smirked angrily. Coryn sighed and refused to respond.
"We need to talk." I ordered, gesturing for her to come outside. She grunted unpleasantly and opened the door a bit more, allowing her body to squeeze out before she closed it behind her. Then she leaned against it, still refusing to meet my eyes.
"What do you want, Gill?" she asked, feigning ignorance.
"You know." I said.
"Nope. Enlighten me."
"Well, basically you stood me up." I deadpanned, trying to stay calm.
"Did I? I don't recall. I don't remember having a rendezvous with you." She said, shrugging.
"Oh, I'm sorry! You don't recall that I was going to be your date for the festival?" I yelled sarcastically. Coryn's eyes finally looked up into my icy blue ones. I thought I saw a flash of…guilt? Was she feeling guilty about what she did?
"I-I'm sorry, but…" she began to make excuses. I could feel the anger building up inside of me. I felt like I would explode. I grabbed her shoulders firmly and pinned her against the door as I quickly leaned in to kiss her. Her lips felt so soft against mine. She was in complete and utter shock, and was seemingly frozen. I lowered my hands to her small waist, but her arms remained plastered to her sides. She then finally regained her composure and lifted her hand. I felt a sharp pain on my cheek and my head was jerked to the left. She had slapped me. I turned my head back to Coryn, ready to scream at her, but I stopped abruptly when I saw tears welling up in her eyes. Shit. I made her cry. I bit my lip.
"What the HELL is your problem?" she screamed, her tears spilling over her cheeks.
"I have no problem. That was your punishment." I said, crossing my arms, looking away and trying my best to remain nonchalant. Coryn gawked at me, and then frowned deeply.
"Just go away. Get away from me. I already had a boyfriend when you forced me to go with you to the festival! You're such a stubborn, self-centered, pompous, over-confident, bullheaded ass!" she shrieked. And with that string of insults said and done, she jerked her door open and rushed into her house, slamming the door as hard as possible behind her.
I swear I could hear her sobbing inside.
The only thing that made me feel a bit better was that I probably just ruined Coryn and Chase's relationship. I felt accomplished. How do I know I did?
I saw Chase when my head was jerked to the left. And he did not look happy.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN~
uh oh. What will happen next? Will Coryn and Chase's relationship survive? Will it end? Will Gill ever stop being an #$# * ? hahaha:) Love you guys! Please review! More reviews=more motivation for Sherman=more chapters! Yay math!
