novelBREAK UP!

"It's our first time walking home together." Oliver said as he walked leisurely beside Hope and glanced at the girl.
It had been three months since they started dating and a month since they went out together. Hope would always give an excuse every time Oliver asked her to go out with him.
Ever since from the beginning, Hope always distanced herself from him.
"Yeah, right." Hope nodded and whipped her head when Oliver held her hand.
"I just want to hold your hand." Oliver blinked his eyes upon Hope's reaction."You acted as if I am going to kill you." He laughed humorlessly.
"Sorry, you surprised me." Hope gave her a small smile and let him to hold her hand.
There was a silence before Oliver spoke when they were crossing the road."I don't like that new teacher."
"Mr. Wolfe? Why?" there was a glint of amus. e. m. e. nt in Hope's eyes when she mentioned Kace's name."He is nice."
Oliver frowned as his expression turned unsightly."You have to avoid someone like him, you know."
"What do you mean 'someone like him'?" Even Hope could feel the irritation in her voice when Oliver badmouthing Kace.
"I don't like the way he looked at you. Don't you realize that?" Oliver frowned when he watched Hope's strong reaction.
"Realize what?" Hope wondered if the way Kace was staring at her was that obvious until people could tell.
"I think that new teacher likes you." Oliver frowned with his own statement.
However, he was a man too, thus he knew what kind of look that Kace gave to her every time they met in the canteen during lunch break.
"He only worked for two weeks, impossible if he already likes me." Hope tried to act ignorance, but she was happy to know that.
"I don't like it. You have to avoid him." Oliver demanded.
"How can I avoid him? He is a teacher." Hope pulled her hand from Oliver's grip and hugged herself.
Seeing Hope's reaction, Oliver couldn't help, but blurted out."Do you like him?"
"Huh? No, of course not." Hope replied too fast and this only ignited Oliver's suspicion toward her answer.
"You like him." that was a statement, not a question."Did you cheat on me?"
Hope stopped walking and turned to face him. They were only one block away from Hope's house and not many people passed this street, thus literally it was only the two of them in that street now.
"Listen." Hope's expression turned serious."I know him earlier than I know you."
"Is he your family?"
"No."
"Then he is dangerous. A man with eyes like him is dangerous. Stay away from him!" Oliver was very agitated to know this.
Kace had deliberately shown this to Oliver over the past two weeks, so he could jump into this conclusion. But, of course, either Hope or he knew about this.
"I have told you since the first time that I don't like anyone controlling me." Hope said coldly.
For a moment, both of them glared at each other and no one seemed willing to back down until Hope broke their staring contest and sighed.
"I already said that we are not good to each other. This relationship will not work." This time Hope looked at Oliver resolutely."Let's end this."
"What? No!" Oliver's face turned dark when he heard that."You want to end this because you like another guy, right?" he accused her.
In some way, it was true, but the fact was; Hope had liked this 'another guy' since before she met Oliver.
"Oh, don't act so innocent." Hope's expression turned dark as well."You don't really like me, it is only your curiosity, right?"
"What nonsense you are talking about?" Oliver grabbed Hope's shoulder tightly until it hurt, but Hope didn't show it on her face.
"I know you only want to know me because I live in the biggest house in this village and I am not associated with other people except from the siblings. You think it is cool for you to be with me, am I right?" Hope smirked to mask the pain on her shoulder.
Hope knew all of this from Ian.
The peak of being werewolf was; they have incredible hearing ability and Ian always told Hope about what Oliver was talking with his friends about her, from across the room.
Oliver and his friends thought Hope couldn't hear it, which was true, but Ian, Ethan and Rossie were different case.
Maybe Ian would lie, but Rossie would not.
This was one of the reasons why Ian always acted very hostile toward Oliver, because this guy didn't have a good intention toward Hope.
Actually, Hope didn't mind it, for the fact she didn't have feeling for him, thus it didn't hurt when she knew what Oliver was talking to his friends.
"So, you want to break up with me?" Oliver narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Yes." and Hope replied resolutely.
However, the moment that answer left her lips, Oliver forced her toward an empty alley and pushed her against the wall.
"Do you think it's easy to break up with me?!" Oliver barked right in front of Hope's face.
Hope felt the grip on her shoulder moved to her face as Oliver held her jaw with his thumb and forefinger.
"I don't take a break up nicely." He spoke icily and glared at Hope."I have been nice to you all this time and let you play with your pathetic friends and this what you give me?! Don't think you can do whatever you wish!"
Hope saw that coming, she knew what Oliver would do next. Hence, before his disgusting lips could touch hers, Hope lifted her leg and kicked him right on the spot where he wouldn't be able to bear the pain.
In an instant, Oliver howled in pain when the breath was gone from his body as he stumbled backward.
"Do you think it's easy to threaten me?" Hope tidied up her crumpled clothes and slightly messy hair."I don't take a coercion nicely too."
