Anna's POV
I walked into school with the chilly wind blowing against my cheeks, you know the feeling when you feel that something big is going to happen but you don't know what ?
Yep that's exactly how I'm feeling right now
"Anna Anna!" I heard a voice that could only belong to one person call, it was sasha, my best friend in Winny bridge high, she rush towards me in a flurry, I wonder what is up in that head of hers now
"Hey what's up" I greeted with a smile
Which she returned sticking out her tongue
"Have you heard the lastest?" She hushed glancing around
I smiled , dis was so much like sasha, if anything was happening, she was surely among the first persons in school to know about it
I wonder how she does it
"What now?" I asked rolling my eyes at the way she leaned towards me
"You won't believe it"
Okay now I was getting impatient, what could it possibly be?
" Come on sash just spit it out"
"I heard he's transferring back today" she replied
"Who?" I asked furrowing my brows in confusion
She looked at me and mentioned the one name that was able to insert fear deep inside me
MARK ANDREW
What did you say?" I asked feeling the blood rushing away from my face and my heart speed up furiously
"Yeah I heard he's back" she replied giving me a sympathetic gaze
"Didn't he transfer to another town? Why is he back now?" I asked totally freeking out
Wait
If he was back, that means that he might be in school today
Oh no!
Ever since I could remember, Mark has made my life a living hell, worse was that I couldn't remember how I've ever offended him
He became harsher that it even got a little physical
He isn't like that to anybody else
I think it's just me
When he'd transferred to another town two years ago due to his family's business, I had been so relieved and happy, I had even begun to enjoy my simple life
Now he's back!
This was my final year of high school, why did he return now?
Relax, I told myself in a deep breath
Its been two years and times have changed, he might not even remember me
"It will be fine," sasha said placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder to which I just nodded
As we got inside, we separated into our various classes
*****
I walked inside the class slowly, the sound of chartering was the first thing I noticed, a certain area of the class was filled with students laughing and discussing, i proceeded to sit down when I saw him
He sat down like a king and the rest of the students were his subject
My heart gave a loud thud and I suckled in a breath sharply
He suddenly looked up from the crowd of students surrounding him, his eyes widened a fraction in surprise then it was gone
It was replaced with a smirk that I Know all too well
He always had that trademark smirk on his face before he does something bad
"Are you gonna sit down or what?" a voice said, it was lilian another friend of mine who was in front of me who spoke giving me a curious stare
When did she even arrive?
I broke the contact I had with Mark and sat down like I was in a chair of nails
"Are you alright?" Lilian asked looking concerned
No! I could never be alright with Mark just a few meters away from me
I nodded anyway giving her a reassuring smile
*****
All through out class I could feel a stare burning right into the back of my head, I didn't need to look to know who it was, I just wanted the teacher to get out of the class so I leave, knowing that I'm even understanding a thing she was talking about
Immediately the bell rung signifying the end of class, I packed my stuff and rushed out ignoring Lilian who was calling out to me
But wait
Why was I even scared ? What did I do wrong?
But it's not the first time I was asking myself something like this, I didn't need to do anything wrong before Mark hurts me, finally I escaped the class and him
As I rested my head against my locker taking a deep breath, a hand suddenly slammed loudly just above my head causing me to jerk back with a yep
It was the one person i had been trying to avoid
It was Mark Andrew
"Hello bunny, did you miss me?" He said with his signature smirk
Oh God!
