I Love You, Miss Genius

Bonnie knew how much Shane was tormented by looking at his eyes. Smiling, she asked, "Is that all it takes to torture you? Can you handle what I'm about to tell you? What if it makes you worse than you are now?"

As far as Shane was concerned, she resembled the devil. He recalled the moment he stood on the cliff and the excruciating pain he felt when she kicked him.

'I remember just how unbearable the pain was. It was worse than death. Now, she has the same smile on her face. Is she planning on beating me up again?'

At the thought of it, he felt a pain in his belly again. He didn't realize it, but his body hunched a little.

Bonnie noticed it and knew what was on his mind. She grinned, and the humor in her eyes grew. "Don't worry about it. I won't hit you again. I'm just here to tell you something you must know." Surprised that she saw through him, Shane stopped himself from backing off. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. "D-Did I say I'm afraid of you? Will you stop flattering yourself?"
