His Favorite Enemy

"MASON!" I'm drenched in water when I just took a step inside the hallway. Mason and his minions just dropped a bucket of cold water from the second floor. I looked to see them laughing and high-fiving each other.

I hate Mason King and it's final.

As a 17 years old, I just want to live my life to the fullest. I want to have a great highschool life and maybe date some boys in the process.

But someone decided to ruin it for me.

This morning, I threw his basketball shoes away and he's paying me back by drenching me in water. I sighed and looked at my bestfriend who was standing a few steps in front of me. I guess she's lucky.

"MASON!" I yelled and he kept laughing.

"Yes, sunshine?" Not him using the nickname that the whole school made.

"You! You! I swear.. I'm going to give you hell." I walked towards my locker grabbing my phone to call my driver to pick me up.

"Amanda." My bestfriend, Carol, completely speechless. She gestured me that my black bra is completely visible. She quickly grabbed me her jacket and I thanked her.

"I'll pay him back tomorrow!" I said and waved Carol goodbye before getting into my car. Between me and Mason, we always fight and going home with wet uniform always happens.

"Amanda, why are you-"

"As usual, mom. Mason did this." I said as I walked past her.

"Again? I don't understand why you both don't get along." She said as I opened the fridge grabbing mh favorite chocolate milk. I poured it into a glass before answering my mo.

"It's our nature to hate each other, I can't stand that man."

"Until when? When will you two stop?" My mom rolled her eyes as she put her potatoes in the oven.

"Forever."

Mason and I can't be in the same room without killing each other but our dads are very close. They're bestfriends since highschool. Everyone in my family loves Mason but me, I hate him so much.

My big brothers Sam and Seth like him a lot because they always play basketball together. Not only my brothers but my little sister, Ashley, she has a crush on Mason. She's 10 years old by the way and she loves Mason.

I'm the only one who wants to kill him in his sleep while everyone worships him like a god.

"I'm going upstairs take a shower." I said

"Amanda, you and Mason need to stop fighting. Please be mature and don't fight at school. You know that our families like to spend time together." My mom said as I'm going up.

"You can dream, mom!" I went straight to the bathroom. I took a shower and went to sleep immediately.

"Amandaaaa.. Amandaaaaaaa.." I pushed Ashley away from me. She's interrupting my beautiful sleep.

"Amanda!" Now, my brother came into my room. Ashley kept pulling my hair but I don't want to get up.

"Amanda.." My brother called me in a serious tone.

"Amanda.." Now he's poking my arm.

"Amandaaaa!!" Ashley screamed into my ears.

"What?!" I sighed.

"We have to go."

"Where? I don't remember having something on my schedule." I said lazily.

"Mason's dad birthday."

"I'm not going."

"You're going, Amanda."

"No!"

"Yes, you are." He grabbed both of my ankle and dragged me down.

"Amanda.." That's when I turned my head to my dad.

"Get ready, we're all going!"

"Dad, please. I'm not in the mood."

"Get up, or you won't be joining us this summer." He threatened me so hard that I had no choice but waking up. I walked out to find my mom and asked her about the venue and they will be celebrating in a hotel restaurant.

I walked back to see what I have in my closet. I decided to go for a short black dress with an off shoulder top. I put on my make up and put my hair into a pony tail. Grabbing my ankle heels and wore down downstairs.

"Are you ready?" Seth asked.

"Yeah, where's Ashley and Sam?"

"Sam will meet us there, he just got off work. Ashley is already in the car with dad." Seth said as he helped to stand up.

"Thanks."

"I heard you got home drenched." I sighed when I heard him saying that. He chuckled and I glared at him. He likes Mason and mostly on his side when he's supposed to kill all of my bullies.

"Seth, stop it." Mom said as she walked past us.

"Yeah, Seth. Stop it." I repeated what mom says.

"Lef's go kids!" We went out from the house and got into the car. We will go straight to the restaurant.

"Mason! Mason!" I wanted to shut my sister's mouth because she will never shut up calling Mason. My parents greeted Mason's parents and I wished Mason's dad a happy birthday politely. I walked to my seat where it's already prepared. I turned to see who will sit beside me and Mason's name was there.

"Seth!" I called my brother and he turned to me raising his eyebrows.

"Can you sit here?"

"I can't." He shook his head and I sighed.

"Why? You want to get rid of me?" I looked up and saw Mason already smirking at me.

"Yes."

"Good evening, my favorite enemy." Mason said as he sat on the seat beside me.

We literally fighting through the dinner. He kicked my leg until I choked on my food and I pretended to accidentally step on his foot making him groan in pain with my high heels.

"Amanda!" My mom hissed at me and I raised my eyebrows.

"It's okay, Sandra." Mason's mom said and I let out a long sigh before I turned to Mason glaring at him.

"Excuse me." I got up from my seat. I planned to go to outside to get some fresh air. I was in a rush when I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry!" I quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry too." He said as he gave me a smile. I nodded awkwardly and both of us were going to the lift.

"I'm Andre." He introduced himself.

"Amanda." I introduced myself and when the lift door opened, we both walked out from there. I guess we're going the same direction huh? I walked to the garden first and looked up to the sky.

"Amanda!" Andre stopped me by my wrist and I looked down. I almost took a step down without looking.

"Thank you." I said and we both chuckled.

"I'm assuming you're still in highschool like me. I'm 18 by the way." He said as he made me take a step back.

"I'm 17. What's your school name?" I asked.

"Wills."

"Ah.. I'm from St. Pauls." I said and he nodded.

"Nice to meet you." He said, it's a little bit awkward but not really.

"Nice to meet you too." I said.

"I think I have to go, or else, my family will think I got kidnapped or something." I added when Andre wanted to say something to me.

"Okay. See you around, Amanda." He said and I nodded. I went back to the restaurant and everyone was still chatting and eating. I sat beside Mason again and he's currently hanging out with Ashley and his brother, Michael.

Not long after that, we finished dinner. I followed my family and when we're getting into the lift, there's a full sign. My brother pushed me and Mason from the lift. Ashley and Michael decided to come along with us. They both kept chasing each other until Ashley accidently pushed my body.

I fell down on Mason's body and the two kids stopped.

"They're kissing!" Ashley said and I shook my head before getting up. My heart was racing so fast and my face was hot. The lift arrived and I grabbed Ashley with me and Mason grabbed Michaelz

"Ashley stop!" I hissed when she tried to make Michael play again. As soon as the lift door opened, they both ran away towards our family.

"Dad! Amanda and Mason kissed earlier!" Ashley said innocently and I swore we didn't.

"No, we didn't." Mason said flatly.

"I swear we didn't." I said and both families looked at us grinning.

"Mason, do you mind taking Ashley and Amanda home? Us, parents are going to the bar." Mason's mom said.

"I can grab a cab, we'll be okay." I said.

"Nonsense!" Mason's mom said.

"Fine." I looked around to find Seth and I guess he decided to go somewhere too. I wondered why Sam didn't join us. After the parents left, I was planning to grab a taxi but Mason stopped me.

"Don't even think about it!" He warned.

"What?"

"I'm taking you home." He said.

"No, you don't need to. I can go home by myself." I said and he grabbed my wrist leading me to the basement where he parked his car. He told the two kids to get inside but I was stubborn enough to not want him to take me home.

He looked at me straight into my eyes.

"Get in the car, Amanda!"

"No, I'm taking the cab." I said and Mason sighed. He got into his car and looked at me one last time before driving away.

"Asshole." I hissed before going back up to the lobby to grab a taxi.

I didn't go home right away, I went to the bookstore to buy some new novels. I love reading and reading is my life. If there's a job for reading, I'll take it in a heartbeat.

The bookstore was close to my house so I decided to just walk home instead of grabbing another cab. It's 8 p.m and there's a lot of people around so I'm not that scared to go home alone. When I arrived, I saw Mason's car. Why is he still here? He can go home because Ashley's baby sitter still home so he doesn't need to worry about it.

I walked in and Mason turned to me. His tone was not happy but he's currently playing with his phone. I ignored him and planned to go upstairs to my room.

"Where were you?!"

"Why do you care?" I asked as I walked up.

"What if someone kidnapped you?"

"Isn't that what you want? You want me to get killed." I said and I opened my room to see my teddy bear completely torn out.

"MASON!" I shouted and he laughed. I looked at my teddy bear in horror. He tore it in half. I went downstairs and he was busy laughing. I grabbed a pillow and threw it to him.

"Hey!" Mason complained. I decided to throw more pillows and he grabbed both of my wrist pulling me to sit on his lap.

"Ugh! Let me go!" I hissed and he just smirked. I wanted to slap him but he can put me in place with his big hands and strenght.

"You need to leave me alone, stop trying to ruin my life."

"Amanda, we've known each other since we were 3. Our parents are friends so no.. I can't get you out from your life besides you're entertaining me." He smiled evily and I wanted to pull his hair so bad.

"Entertaining you? I'm glad that I did."

"I know, sunshine."

"Don't call me that!" I hissed.

"Why? The whole school call you that."

"I don't like it, especially when you're the one who called me that." He smirked and I tried to get off from his lap but he kept holding me at the same place.

"Let me see.. you're annoying, you're stupid and pretty sure you're childish." He mocked me by saying it in my voice.

"Yeah.. I don't care about your opinion about me." I said and suddenly he leaned his face so close to me.

"I wonder why you never had a boyfriend.." He smirked and I wanted to slap him so bad. Like really bad.

"How about we make a truce? Let's not bother each other until we graduate." I said and Mason chuckle. He shook his hand as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I don't need a truce. I want to keep this relationship cause it's entertaining." He said as he caressed my cheek with the back of his hand. I could feel my cheeks are burning. He leaned his body closer to me closing the gap between us.

"Better for us to be enemies, you know." He said as he looked straight into my eyes.

"I hate you." I grabbed a pillow and smacked it to his face. I ran away from him and I could hear him laughing. I decided to change my clothes and erased my make up so I can go to sleep.

The next day, I woke up in the morning to get my daily run. I got into the shower and got ready for school.

"There's an announcement about The Battle." Carol said as soon as I arrived. She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the announcement board.

The Battle is a battle for talents between all the highschools in my area. Last year, our school got 3rd place and we're aiming for 1st this year.

"You're going on the same battle right?" Carol asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, same." I said and the cool thing about this event is that everuone have to participte and it will be a 2 weeks full of competition from 8 am to 5 pm. The main battle is quiz, basketball, football and dance. That's the battle where a lot of people will come and watch. Carol always goes for biology and clothes designing team. For me, I'm always on the dance team.

"Hello Sunshine." I rolled my eyes when I heard his voice.

"Come on, let's submit our name as always." Carol said pulling me away before World War happens in this school. When I walked away, people were looking at me weirdly.

"Did I have something on my face?"

"No, there's nothing." Carol said.

"Hey Loser!" Mason called and Carol turned to him and that's when she pulled a paper from my back saying that I'm sucha big fan of Mason King anf want him to be my boyfriend.

"I'll get back to him later."
