Mason's

POV

She screamed and pushed me away abruptly. I stared at her shocked expression, shocked myself, I glanced at my hands. "W..what did you just do?" she stuttered in disbelief. I shook my head, unable to say anything or explain myself for a while. "You pervert!" she screeched, removing one of her shoes and throwing it at me. I caught the shoe.

"No, I'm not a pervert," I responded, shaking my head vehemently.

"How do you explain what you just did?" she yelled.

"It was a mistake. You were about to fall and I grabbed you. Did you prefer splitting your head into two on the floor?" I inquired.

"You could have grabbed my hand. Was that the only place you could grab it? You pervert!" she screamed again. Why does she keep calling me a pervert after I explained everything to her? How did I get into this situation again? She threw her other shoe at me furiously. I caught it again.

"Why do you keep catching them?" she asked angrily.

"I can't help it. I have great reflexes," I replied.

"Even in this situation, you still can't help but brag about your stupid reflexes," she spat glaring at me angrily.

"Look, if you are angry about me grabbing your b**t..."

"Shut up!" she yelled, glancing around us. I sighed.

"It was a mistake and I'm sorry for that. I don't know why you are making such a fuss about this," I muttered. We could have ended this amicably and gone our separate ways but she had to create a scene.

"I'm making a fuss? It was you who touched me, it was your mistake and you should be apologizing deeply for it not telling me that I'm making a fuss," she retorted. Thank goodness, lunch break was over and we were at a place where people rarely passed by at that hour, otherwise there would have been a crowd by now.

Does she have temporary memory loss or did something get stuck in her ear when I apologized?

"Although I already apologized, I will apologize again so we can get this over with. I'm sorry for saving you from almost cracking your skull open. Are we good now?" I asked.

"No, we will never be good. It won't be possible in this lifetime or the next," she responded furiously. Why was she so angry?

"Are you still angry about me grabbing you or is there something else? Is this because we are..."

"Don't you dare say it? Keep it to yourself. I don't want to hear it," she cut me off rudely. She did know that we are mates. It means she felt the mate bond too but why wasn't she saying anything about it? She didn't make mention of it, instead she was angry at me. This wasn't how mates were supposed to behave. I might dislike the idea, but I knew all about the mate bond and how it worked. Why was it different with her?

"Perhaps have we met before? Did you know me before we met in this school?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"There's no we! How many times do I need to tell you that? And, I don't know you from anywhere. I would never associate myself with someone as promiscuous as you," she responded. I was taken aback by her harsh words. Me? Promiscuous?. Why on earth was she being so rude and hostile towards me when we were speaking for the first time today?

Who did she think she was to speak so rudely to me and be disrespectful? My expression became more stoic and cold.

"I don't know for what reason you are angry at me but I already apologized for what I did. I hope we end this here and never speak about it again," I said seriously. She scoffed.

"Why would I ever speak to you again when you came onto me first? From today onwards, when you see me coming in this direction, follow the other direction. Don't let us ever cross paths again," she stormed towards me and pulled her shoes from my hands roughly. She put them on and walked away. I glanced around after she left.

"What just happened?" I asked no one in particular trying to wrap my head around the scenario that just played out.

"Does she have anger issues?" I muttered to myself.

"Who has anger issues?" I turned around after hearing Mady's voice behind me.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?" I asked her.

"I came to use the bathroom, then I saw you standing here. Why are you also here?" she inquired.

"Why did you come this far? There's a bathroom over there," I said pointing towards the place.

"I wanted to stretch my legs. Stop asking me questions and tell me why you were here and talking to yourself," she asked.

"I came to use the bathroom too. Before you ask me why I didn't use the one over there, I like this one better," I replied. She scoffed.

"You haven't answered my question. Who has anger issues?" she asked curiously. Damn her retentive memory, I thought she would have forgotten about it after I asked her different questions.

"Well?" she raised her brows expectantly. I sighed.

"A girl..."

She gasped dramatically. "A girl? A girl is bothering you this much? Oh my goodness! I never thought I would live to see this day. Who is she? Is she pretty? Do you like her? What is she like?" she asked hurriedly and excitedly. I rolled my eyes. "It's nothing to get excited over. It's not like that. This girl hates my guts," I replied. Her smile faltered immediately.

"Why? Why will she hate you?" she asked.

"I don't know either. I just met her today and she called me promiscuous," I said with a frown.

"What? How dare she call you promiscuous? Who is she? Tell me this instant and we will go and ask her about it," Mady demanded. I smiled inwardly glad that she believed me. But I shook my head when she said we should ask her about it. I can't meet that girl I know nothing about with Mady else she will find out about everything.

"I know you are rude, blunt, stubborn, and cold but how dare she add promiscuous to the list? I won't accept it. Let's find her and ask her why she said that," she continued.

"Are you defending me or adding to the list of insults? Anyway, I've decided to let it go. I won't ponder restlessly over something that is not true," I replied.

"Anyway, this girl hates me to the core and we spoke for the first time today. I have no idea what I did to her," I explained. Mady thought for a while.

"Is she an alien? All the girls I know in the school drool all over you," she said in surprise.

"She's not an alien," I replied curtly.

"You don't know her and she doesn't know you either but she hates you. Did you ask her about it? I know you didn't," she said.

"I didn't," I responded. She sighed.

"You need to speak with her about it. You never know, this might just be a misunderstanding. You should never leave a misunderstanding unattended. It might get really complicated," she advised.

"So this would require us to have a deep conversation?" I inquired.

"Yes, as soon as possible. But this is the first time I'm hearing about someone that doesn't like you. She must be a really focused and determined person to not fall for your face," she said.

"Are you praising her? For hating on your brother?" I asked in disbelief.

"Of course not. I was just thinking out loud. But, you never cared about what anyone thought of you before. Why now? Is there something you are leaving out?" she inquired skeptically.

"No, what could I possibly be leaving out," I muttered. She stared at me for a while trying to figure out if I was lying. I stared right at her blankly without avoiding her gaze, which would only make her more suspicious. "Anyway talk things through with her and let me know the outcome. I'm leaving now," she finally said after a while.

"What about the restroom?" I inquired.

"I'm fine now. I don't need it anymore," she replied with a smile. "Bye brother, See you when I see you," she continued in a sing-song voice as she left. I frowned. Why do I feel like she came here to find me on purpose? I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts. According to Mady, I need to have a conversation with her about why she hates me so much. But, would that really get anywhere? She's too blinded by her hatred that I don't think she would listen to me just like what occurred between us a few minutes back. A mate that hates me with passion. What more could I ask for? I thought dryly.
