Chapter Twenty-One This just officially became the most awkward moment in my entire life. I bet my face is twisted with anger. But I try not to let my fury show because that’s exactly what he wants to see.

“Eason,” I grit out through clenched teeth. “This is HARDLY a good time.” He gives me a calm smile.

“Emergency, like I said. Do you want to follow me out? Or should I stay, and we can talk here?”

I want to throw a punch at his smug face. But my rationality calls me off.

The entire classroom has wakened from their afternoon slumber, looking at us with great enthusiasm. I bet rumors about us will fly across the entire school sooner than I expected.

“Umm…Miss Ramirez?” the history teacher interrupts our staring contest.

I dart him an angry glare. “My last name is Moore, sir.”

“Oh, I’m sorry Miss Moore. But if Mr. Ramirez insists that there’s an emergency, maybe you should go with him. See what’s happening.”

He has made the judgmental call. Better sacrifice me alone than let Eason ruin the entire class. I’m left with no other options now. Infuriated, I sweep all my belongings into my backpack with one arm, knock Eason aside with my shoulder and stride towards the classroom door.

Eason follows me. He even has the audacity to greet the teacher on the way out. “Have a nice day sir.”

Before the door closes behind me, I hear Mr. Robinson announces dryly. “OK OK back to class… that’s none of your business…”

I march down the empty hallway with strong emotions bubbling up inside of me. When we reach the corner of staircase, I spin around to him roaring into his face:

“What the fuck! Eason Ramirez, are you fucking out of your damn mind??!” “That’s a lot of curses.” He sneers.

I am shocked by his indifference.

How can be so calm just standing here? Does he think this is no big deal? Does he think that he can just meddle with my life however he wants?
