The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 37 - Thirty - Seven : Creepy

"OK, Why is that handsome yet creepy dude staring at me like I\'m lunch ? " Lia asked Ben out of curiosity. It\'s being a while now since they grabbed their lunch yet the dude didn\'t take his eyes off them, well, she in particular.

After the super commotion caused by his presence, the girls didn\'t let him be. They surrounded his table like moths drawn to a flame and began chatting him up.

Strange enough, the guy seem not to be interested in whatever they were gossiping about and intently focused his gaze on her.

As much as lia appreciated being the centre of attention and all but his gaze was burning and unnerving.

"Oh " Ben answered, discovering her complain to be true. " Well, he doesn\'t exactly looks like he wants to eat you up , you know like physically? " He shrugged " I think he wants to eat you like ora -"

" Fine, I get it " Lia interrupted Ben, raising her hands up in surrender " I should\'ve known you\'re the last person on earth to answer this like a normal human being would "

Ben rolled his eyes towards heaven and dumped a handful of fries into his mouth " I\'m trying to be useful here "

" Yeah, I know " Lia sassed back " God knows if I listen to more of your incredible ideas, I\'ll need holy water to cleanse my ears "

"Fine, do whatever you want " he waved her off with his hand digging into his food.

Lia sighed , so much for having a bestie. well having male friends tend to be a challenge judging from her relationship with her brothers, girl friends should be more exciting and efficient, minus the fact they can be backstabbing b*itches.

Lia turned again, this time their eyes met and held. She felt like his eyes were telling her something but she couldn\'t understand, the only thing she understood was his charming beauty.

He had raven black hair with blazing hazel eyes, a very built body and plumb red lips which were too attractive and distracting. Infact, she was seriously considering Ben\'s offer.

Weirdly, his chalky pale skin stood out from the rest of the crowd . Though Lia wasn\'t a huge fan of \'twilight \' but she believed she was seeing Stephine Meyer\'s creation right now.

The guy was so chalky pale he might as well be suffering from anemia, not that she was complaining, it totally fits him anyway.

Strange enough, she didn\'t fall head over heels for him, contrary to what she thought cause she\'s always being a sucker for the handsome ones.

" Watch out ! " Someone screamed jerking her out of her daydream.

Almost immediately she felt something heading her way forcefully, she instinctively stretched out her hand and caught the ball before it hit her on the face.

"Wow ! " Ben exclaimed " Cool reflex you got there baby girl " he kept on gushing praises but the person in question was busy staring at the ball with complex emotions.

"Hand the ball over, Darlington " someone said.

Snap! Lia turned rigidly to see the fool that called her by her last name . She hated that name.

"The ball " He said, gesturing for her to hand it over.

Lia frowned . So, this was the dock practicing his dribbling skills in the cafeteria.

"What part of no playing balls in the cafeteria do you not understand? " Lia asked pointing to the rules and regulations posted on the cafeteria bulletin board.

The dock shrugged "Meh, who cares? now hand the ball over, Darlington " he said with no remorse. He didn\'t even apologise for almost hitting her on the face.

Unknown to them all, Dan was at the side watching the drama with keen interest. His features softened and his lips curled into a smile, not knowing the ladies beside him were totally smitten. He didn\'t intend intervening, that one\'s on the guy, he caused it all.

"fine then " Lia surrounded " The ball you shall have " She said, a malevolent smirk on her face " But first, catch "

Lia threw the ball with every ounce of strength she could assemble while the dock stood watching her with a mocking smile. what can she do anyway?

The boy tried to catch the ball but he missed, the ball hit him in the stomach, he stumbles, falling backward on the floor.

There was a shocked silence before a thunderous applause and cheers reverberated through the hall, stunning her once again. This time, she didn\'t stand shocked instead she basked in the glory

"You\'re welcome " she said, tossed her head and fluffed her hair, did a graceful bow and sat back on her seat.

"You\'re awe-"

"Don\'t say it " She warned pressing her finger against Ben\'s lips silencing him at once. She knew he was about to gush over her with praise.

The sudden contact made a warm blush crawl up his neck. His heart hammered against his chest as he awkwardly lifted her finger away.

"OK then " he murmured, looking away. He couldn\'t bear to look her in the eyes, it was doing strange things to his heart.

Lia frowned, this guy was indeed strange. One moment he\'s gushing over her enthusiastically, the next he can\'t bear to look her in the eyes. what a weirdo.

Shaking her head pathetically , she turned to resume her eating when her face met with someone\'s. She shrieked almost falling off her seat if his hand hadn\'t steadied her.

What the hell! why was he sitting beside her? No, how did he even get here in the first place? She didn\'t even hear a sound.

Creepy.
