AVA

Missed

"Good morning learners ,today we have a new student joining us .Would you care to introduce yourself ? Mr Lockwood's voice rumbled across the classroom his eyes fixed on one individual whom I immediately noticed to be the guy from outside standing right beside the teachers table." Hi my name is Zach Gilbert , I'm excited to be spending my senior year with you guys , I'm sure I'll be making a lot of new friends her starting with Miss Claire " he said leading a playful smirk on his lips while gazing at me making me shudder. "Thank you" he finally ended making his way to the seat behind me ."I would certainly love your company" he whispered and I turned and smiled genuinely . The rest of the class felt numb as the teacher talked his way through the lesson . Throughout the day there was only one lesson that got my attention though 'suprize test' because Zach had the highest score " hmm quite smart " I mumbled under my breath. At the end of the day I was shocked to see the white Range Rover with the same number plate at the school parking lot and my heart started thumping loudly in my chest. "did it follow me to school by any case?" I thought

without hesitation I started walking toward the exit gate but wait a minute , was I seeing Zach packing stuff in the car. I stopped in my tracks and stomped with frustration towards the vehicle .

"Who's car is this? " I sputtered with pure frustration.

"What do mean?" he answered

" I mean who's car is this? " I asked again this time with clear annoyance in my voice.

"It's my car , Why?" he replied

" Have you been following me this morning? " I asked . I was utterly shocked as a playful smirk repositioned itself on his irresistible lips " Okay look , I wasn't following you I just thought you would lead to school because I'm new that's all " he answered clearly amused . I wasn't going to believe this guy who scared the hell out of me and this was clearly not something to joke about because at this point I was fuming with anger . Within a second I found my right hand meeting with his left cheek in a fast pace. YES I WAS SLAPPING HIM! .

This point in my life I didn't care who the hell he was , whether a classmate or some dirty punk following people around to get a reaction. Oh and he got one out of me .

" That's for not asking and scaring the hell out of me ". I said disgust evident on my face. To my surprise he just stood there watching me for a minute until he pinned me on his car and said " I've never had woman lay a hand on me and you've just started something you won't be able to finish Ava Claire" he smiled but this time for my reaction. " I don't care what you think about me punk" I spat out unable to hide my disgust . As I headed towards the bus stop but realised that It was turning around the corner . " s**t " I cursed loudly enough for anyone to hear . "I missed it"
