DUMPED.

"Hello, miss?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," I said, finally finding my voice.

"Here, let me help you up," he said, offering me his hand. Immediately, I placed my hand on his. I felt this connection between us. He helped me up and apologised.

"Thanks," I said, thanking him for helping me up.

"By the way, my name is Dax; what's yours?"

"Her name is Brianna, Eric's little sister," I heard Becky say behind me before I could say a word.

"Oh, nice to finally meet you; your brother talks about you a lot."

"I know; tell me about it," I said, glaring at Becky, who was smiling at me with one of her fake smiles. I totally understand her; after all, I ruined her relationship with Eric.

I never thought I would say this, but I really hate this Becky girl. She is so annoying, and to make matters worse, she is a two-faced bitch.

"Hey Brianna, it's been a while since we have seen each other," she said, holding Dax's hand. Staring at their hands joined together, I knew something was going on between the both of them.

"Yeah, I am glad you decided to make yourself scarce around me because people were starting to think you were my servant," I said to her before I hit her a little in the back and said...

"See you around, Becky."

"You too, Brianna," she said, doing exactly the same thing I did to her before she dragged Dax away, and they both left.

"There you are; I was looking everywhere for you," Gia said, joining me, but I was still staring at Becky and that guy from earlier.

"Hello, Brianna, What are you even looking at? Gia asked

"At them," I replied to her, and I pointed at Becky and Dax as they joined the rest of their group.

"Wait, that's Dax."

"You know him?" I asked Gia immediately, and she mentioned his name.

"Yeah, he is number one in the group; everyone knows him except for you, Brianna," Gia said, shaking her head slightly like I was hopeless.

"How come I have never seen him?"

"That's because you are never interested in the group."

"Do you know the type of relationship he has with Becky?"

"Rumours say they are dating, but it's a complete lie."

"Why did you say so?"

"Because everyone knows Dax, he doesn't date; he's just a playboy."

"I am confused. Why would you say that he looked harmless to me?"

"All playboys are supposed to be nice, Brianna; they don't have a horn on their heads, which indicates that they are devils in disguise."

I just don't get what Gia said, Dax, a playboy. I just can't shake the thought of him out of my mind, and seeing the way he was with Becky, I think they are close or maybe even dating.

"I just don't get it; he looked like he wouldn't hurt a fly."

"Yeah, he wouldn't hurt a fly, but I heard he enjoys seeing girls cry because of him. But wait, why are you so interested in him?" Gia asked, giving me a suspicious look.

"Nothing; I'm just asking since it was the first time I met him. We bumped into each other, and we kind of introduced ourselves until Becky decided to be her usual annoying self."

"Wait, you spoke with Dax?"

"Yes"

"Did you look him in the eyes?"

"Yeah, did something happen?" I asked Gia, getting confused by the expression on her face.

"Rumours said that when you stare at him straight in the eye, you will be under his spell," Gia said, like someone who was narrating a horror story.

"Gia, get hold of yourself; we are not watching a fantasy movie around here; this is reality. Now let's go to class; we are already late."

"I am serious, Brianna. I'm thinking Dax has already left his spell deep in your heart."

"Oh, Gia, sometimes I wonder how we ended up as friends." I dragged Gia by the hand as we both headed to our history class. But just as Gia said, I kept thinking about Dax.

Maybe he has really cast a spell on me.

Dax's POV

"Hey, Eric"

"Hey Dax"

"So, have you decided who you want to go to prom with? Is it going to be one of the juniors, or are you just going to pick from the damsels around you?"

"I don't know; I am still confused. I was thinking about going by myself, which will give me enough time to look after my sister."

"Oh, that reminds me. I met your sister earlier today; I must confess, she is a hand full; the way she talked down on Becky got me surprised."

"Oh, that is Brianna for you."

"Actually, I like her," I told him, but he gave me this look that says I don't want to see you next, my sister, dude.

"Dude Relax. I didn't mean I liked her in that way; I just liked her confidence and her vibe," I said, clarifying what I said.

"Brianna is very stubborn; actually, she is stubborn herself, but as her big brother, I need to be by her side all the time."

"You do know we are best friends, right?" I have known Eric for at least seven months, but our relationship is almost unbreakable, even though we have our differences.

"Yeah, I know."

"You can always trust me with your sister's safety."

"Really men?"

"Yeah, I have your back at all times."

"Thanks, Dax, but how come you never visit my house for one?"

"Well, I never thought of that. '' Just then, Becky walked inside our class with a non-smiley face. She walked up to me, looking very furious.

"Hey, I think I will talk to you later," Eric, who noticed the tension between the two of us, said before he left.

"Babe, what's up with your mood?" I casually asked.

"Who is she?" She asked, showing me the picture of the lady I was with all night last night.

"She was my baby for one night," I replied to her, but I received a slap. I wanted to react but decided to keep my cool. The class was beginning to pay attention to us.

When she raised her hand to slap me again, I grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the class.

"Let go of me, you scumbag," I heard her say as I took her to a private space near the school garden.

"What is your problem? Why are you acting like a child?"

"Am I acting like a child, really, Dax? You were out all night with that whore, and you are asking me these questions?"

"You should have known I am not a one-girl type of guy, so why are you overreacting?"

"Really Dax? Let me ask you a question: What should we call our relationship? Are we even dating?" I wanted to laugh. Did she just say dating? Dating who?

"I told you I don't date Becky, so why are you asking if we are dating?"

"I thought we finally found something special about our relationship." She said it with so much hurt on her face, but I didn't care; I don't remember telling her to expect something from me.

"We are only having fun, Becky; there is nothing else I can offer you."

"You know what? You are sick; you need help." With that being said, she left angry. Yeah, that never gets old.

Brianna's POV

What just happened? I can't believe I just witnessed Dax dumping Becky. But wait, he cheated on her, but yet he was acting like he didn't care.

Actually, he doesn't care at all; they had no idea I was there all this time. So that means Gia was right. Dax might be a jerk after all.

But seeing that it was Becky who got dumped, I just didn't want to rush to the conclusion; maybe Becky did something wrong.

Or Dax is just a heartbreaker.
