"Fine." I slam my open palm on the bokks and lean closer, I open my mouth and her eyes widen, anxiously waiting for me to drop the bomb. One second,two,three
"Kim!!" She shouts
"Ms Green." Mr Stevens stares between us. "Please split up with ms Monoa and swap with ms Carson."
I stare behind to see where she's been told to seat. Well well well
"Surprise surprise." I whisper,she turns her head and her eyes widen, the seat is near non other than Xander Carson. I smile
"That's your chance Sam."
"Shut up." She stands and starts heading over to the back
"By the way," I whisper "that meant he was starting at your lips."
Her book slips but she grabs it at the last minute, I smirk and slump in my seat pretending I didn't just drop a grenade on my best friend. Feels good.
I'm minding my own business during break in the school cafeteria when Andrew joins the group,my back snaps straight and my skin starts to burn
"Hi Kimberly." He greets while he steals a chip from my tray, I move it away
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
I glare daggers at him and he smiles,I used to think he was handsome but now all I can see is a psycho who might be a potential threat to me.
The rest of the day goes by just fine until last period. During said last period I realise that I forgot my math textbook in Sam's car, I twist and look at the back
"Psst,Sam."
I whisper-yell. My dear friend looks like she's seating next to a corpse. Her skin is pale,spine jerked straight,eyes forward and unblinking,she looks like she's scared a lion might jump her at any second.
My lips tremble with how hard I'm trying to hold in my laugh. I open my mouth to call her name again
"Sa-" I close my mouth tears burning my eyes
"Samantha!" I whisper,
Her head turns slowly towards me like a robot, then i loose it and laugh so hard I cause some people to flinch. All the laughter I was holding in comes out two times fold, I can't even control it, I slump against my seat,tears forming at the corners of my eyes.
"Ms Monoa! You are crossing the line here." Mr Rogers says firmly.
I give a 2seconds sign to him while I try to stop my laugh. That seems to make everybody else laugh out loud
"Silence!" He slams his hand on the table
"Now, ms Monoa,please tell us what you find so extremely funny enough to disturb my class in such a disrespectful way."
"Sorry sir. I just remembered I forgot my math textbook."
"And you find that funny?"
"Well I think so."
Everyone laughs again
"Is it okay if I get it from the car?"
"Yes you may. Detention after class."
"What? But-"
"No buts."
He cuts me off. I sigh and get up,grab the keys from Sam and jog to the parking lot. Thank God, It's there. I grab it and lock the doors,I'm about to turn when a hard hand slams me against the car,his body trapping me between it and the door,the hairs on the back of my neck stand.
"Gotcha." Andrew's voice turns my cold,my world goes black
"Told you I'd find you alone again."
How the hell did he even get here or behind me without making a sound.
He grabs both my hands behind my back,his erection pushes against my ass and I instantly want to throw up.
"N-no.."
I stutter,my voice shaking.
He lifts my skirt up and cold air whooshes against my skin,he rubs his erection up my ass again and I let out a sob.
"I love it when you cry for me baby,shhhh. Don't worry,in no time I'll give you what you want." He whispers in a sick tone
"No...please.." my lips tremble while my body shakes
"Shhhh. Now be a good girl."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because you belong to me doll, you're mine to play with."
"No Andrew, please.."
"Yes,beg for me babydoll."
He rubs against me again then tries to put his hand in my lace panties.. I will enough power and slam my head back,I must hit him on the face because his hold on my hands loosens,I take advantage and elbow him with all my might causing him to stagger back. Then I Run!
I place a hand on my erratic beating heart and lean against the wall. Tears flow down my cheeks and I don't even bother to wipe them.
My chest hurts,my hands and my cheek hurt too. I take a few minutes and collect myself then i go back to class. I don't make eye contact with anyone as I make my way to the desk.
The bell rings and I abruptly stand.
"Detention Monoa." Mr Rogers reminds me.
Grabbing my books with shaky hands, I try to put them in my backpack but miss two times
"Hey..." A hand grabs my wrist stopping me, I look up and find Brandon staring down at me with creased brows. I swallow and steady my breathing.
"What's wrong?" He stares into my eyes.
In a second,he's pushed aside with force.
"Don't fucking touch her."
Ronan steps in front of me, before they can make big drama,I pull him by the back of his jersey.
"Ron, he was just trying to help me pack."
"Well I can do it. I've done it countless times, stay away from her."
I put my things in and zip up then grab Ronan by the hand and leave. I say bye to Sam on my way out.
I sit in the detention room,time moves so agonizingly slow. I groan and cover my face using my hand. I told Ronan to go to practice, he insisted to stay but I told him he can drive me home later.
I don't know how long I stay in that position,the moment I drop my arm,a shadow moves quickly from the door. I snap back into focus. I look behind me, there's two guys and one girl in detention with me.
The person monitoring us is Zayn, three quarters of all the teachers favorite nerd. He doesn't seem to mind because he leaves late, probably the last student after doing his science research's.
"Kimberly, your times up,you can leave now." I get up and grab my bag
"Thanks."
I leave the room and the hallways are empty,the only sound is that of my shoes squeaking on the floor. The feeling of someone watching me starts, I walk slowly, carefully and then I abruptly turn and there's no one there, fear starts to slip in and I quicken my pace, footsteps start sounding behind me, I jog and enter the bathroom clicking the door shut. My breathing heightens,my chest heaves up and down.
I wait and wait but don't hear any sound. I carefully open the bathroom door and peek out,it's so quiet, the only thing I hear as I start to walk is the cleaners whistling from the staff room. I walk so fast and step out of the building, my heart hammers against my chest as I walk through the parking lot.
A twig crunches behind me and I turn, I can hear the beating of my heart in the silent parking lot, I catch movement in my peripheral vision so I turn and start to run, I'm about to round the corner when I'm lifted off the ground by the waist, I start to kick and scratch,I'm about to scream but a hand slams on my mouth, tears start flowing down my cheeks as my survival instinct kicks in so I fight harder ,my vision becomes blurry and I sob into the palm covering my mouth
"Hey hey hey...it's okay,it's okay, calm down it's just me."
Brandon? My heartbeat slows and I stop fighting him
"That's it, easy." He places me back down and turns me to face him. I can't seem to stop the tears from flowing.
"Hey." He grabs my cheeks in his hands and leans to my level.
"What's wrong? I saw you running like your life depended on it, I kept calling your name but you just kept running with tears on your face."
His face twists with worry.
"I-i..I'm so-" I start sobbing
"Shhhh. It's okay sweetheart."
He steps closer and rests my head on his chest,he runs a soothing palm at the back of my head. After a few minutes of crying,I calm down a little.
"Tell me, who's chasing you? Who're you running from?" I look around behind me, he follows my eyes
"There's nothing there. Was someone following you?"
I stare at him. He wipes my cheeks and study's my face
"Was someone following you?" He repeats
"No." I shake my head "I'm just stressed and tired."
He looks like he doesn't believe me one bit but says
"Let me take you home."
"No. No it's okay,I'm catching a ride with Ronan."
His jaw clenches at the mention of Ronan. I step out of his hold
"But thanks for the offer."
