Chapter 12

Scarlet's Point of View
"Okay girls, remember to bring in any pastries for the bake sale tomorrow if you want new uniforms!" the head cheerleader, Lauren reminded us, as we all headed out of the cheerleading meet.
I stared down at the sterling silver watch that was latched around my left wrist, noticing that there was still a good ten minutes before lunch ended.
I made my way over to the cafeteria, wondering if Riley was going to be there.
As I stepped in the lunch room, my eyes scanned our usual lunch table, but I noticed that it was empty.
I frowned, wondering if Riley might've skipped out on lunch to go to the library.
Just as I was about to leave to check the library, my eyes caught onto the far back of the cafeteria.
My eyes stared over to Travis Kapone's, as he stared at the girl who had her back faced to me with an intent look.
As I stared closer, I noticed the familiar brown wavy hair.
Riley was sitting with Travis Kapone.
I suddenly felt anger boiling up inside of me, as I dug my nails into my palms.
Didn't I already warn Riley about Travis?
She was supposed to be my best friend and understand.
Rolling my eyes, as I turned my back on the lunch room, storming out.
My heels clicked its way down the hallways loudly, as I bit the insides of my cheeks.
I was going to make sure that Travis and Riley stay away from each other.
***
I walked up to the front steps of Travis' mansion house, the one that I've been to once before.
I felt my stomach churning as I pressed on the doorbell, waiting for an answer.
A moment later, the door swung open, revealing Travis.
I stared into those same green eyes that I was once in love with before.
"Scarlet." Travis hesitantly muttered, before closing the door behind him. "Why are you here?"
I crossed my arms, glaring at the so called bad boy. "You know why." I hissed. "I want you to stay away from Riley."
Travis stared at me with his eyebrows raised, before he let out a smirk.
"No can do, Scarlet." his eyes sparkled with amusement. "Sorry."
My blood rushed to my cheeks, as I felt myself fume with anger.
"You're only going to hurt her, like you hurt me." I whispered.
Travis snorted, before he rolled his eyes.
"If you've forgotten, Scarlet, you and I hooked up once." he harshly spat. "We're nothing more than that."
I felt my heart drop, but I wasn't going to let this jerk get the best of me.
"You don't mean that." my voice came of soft.
Before I knew it, my hands flew up to Travis' bare chest.
I blame him for never wearing a shirt under his hoodies.
I inched closer to him, pressing Travis' against his front door.
I closed my eyes, breathing in his minty yet smoky scent, remembering the night we shared.
"I know you still love me." I whispered, as I pressed my lips against his.
To my surprise, I felt myself being pushed backwards.
Travis stared at me with digust, as he wiped his lips with the back of his hand.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Travis shouted, making me flinch. "I don't even know who you are!"
Travis went back into his house, slamming the door behind.
And all I could feel is utter heartbreak and anger.
