Chapter 18 I'm getting Tired of You

I broke the kiss.

"What was that for?" I quietly asked.

"Probably a declaration of war to Bottonlout. " He smirked. I didn't know what to say. This was my first kiss, and it was way more awkward than I expected.

Comet's smile faded away.

"Look . . ." He began. I didn't like feeling so helpless. I left before he could say anything else. Though I didn't run. I just stood up and walked out.

As I exited the cave, I felt relief flood over like a wave. I'm glad I didn't have to go anywhere else today but home. I sped off toward the direction of house.

As I woke up the next morning and even during class nothing happened. As I left the academy I felt so happy that nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"Hey Freya?" A voice came from behind a tree as I was making my way to the market to buy fish.

I looked over my surroundings, but saw nothing. Until a figure came creeping out from behind a tree like a wolf up to no good.

"What do you want Alto?" I asked him with a suspicious tone.

"Oh nothing. Just you know lookin' for ya'." He responded so cooly.

"Who's he?" A familiar idiotic voice sounded behind me. Without even turning around I knew who it was.

"Why are you both here?" I asked.

"Who's he? " Bottonlout asked. I was trying to think if the three boys have actually met.

"Names Alto." He answered. "Who are you dorks?"

"I'm Bottonlout and that's a worm."

"My names Comet you pathetic excuse of a viking."

"What are you two doing here? " Alto asked.

"Going to the market. What are you doing here?" Comet asked. Alto pointed to me.

"You?" Comet pointed past me to the market.

"But why were you looking for Freya?"

"Why were you looking for me? I don't even like you!" I questioned Alto.

"If you don't like him why are you talking to him?!"Bottonlout asked.

"I wasn't taking to you!" I shouted at him.

"Well you do that have to yell!" He shouted back.

"Would you stay out of this you dork!" Alto yelled at Bottonlout.

"Would everyone just shut up!" I screamed. "Bottonlout, shut up because you not in this fight! And Alto! Leave me alone. I've hated you since we were kids and I still hate yo-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because the next thing I knew, Alto was pressing his lips up against mine.

I pushed him away once I gathered my thoughts. I was too stunned and angry to respond to him. I could hear the boys behind me gasping and cursing.

My head was spinning and my enemy just kissed me. Once again my cheeks turned as red as cherries, but not of embarrassment, but of anger.

As Alto was yelling at the two boys, I did what I would've done to anyone.

I stood up and once Alto noticed me he smiled. "That's why I was looking for he-" he didn't hit to finish his sentence, since the next thing he knew I had punched in the face.

"Like I said: I've hated you since we were kids and I still hate you!" I walked past him. "I'm getting really tired of you, Alto."
