I woke up with a start and exhaled loudly.
"Bad dream" I muttered,not even remembering the contents of the dream. All I can remember was some intriguing blue eyes....and sexy...... s**t was I having a wet dream? I shook my head as Zoey entered my room with a towel wrapped around her chest. Wait a minute this wasn't my room.
"What happened?" I said as I checked to see if my clothes were still on. I sighed in relief seeing they were in place as i looked up at Zoey. She looked like she was hiding something from me and then she turned around,moving towards the dresser. I wasn't really surprised at her response though.
"You passed out from the alcohol" . I groaned inwardly and smacked my forehead. I can't believe I got wasted.
"It's already 7:20 am and classes start by 8:00 am so I suggest you move your lazy ass out of the bed and take a shower cuz you smell strongly of alcohol."
"Holy s**t" I swore and raced towards the bathroom. I stripped off all my clothes and wore Zoey's robe without doing the rope. I brushed my teeth with a brush I use whenever I sleep over at Zoey's crib. I gazed at my reflection in the mirror and my eyes widened. I had four hickeys on my boobs and three on my neck. f**k. I blushed furiously as i showered for probably 20 minutes. I got out of the bathroom and asked Zoey for a turtleneck shirt. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
" why?Last time I checked you hated turtleneck shirts"
" I know I just happen to have a hickey attack"
"What?" She turned to look at me and her eyes widened.
"That is a lot of hickeys in one place. I mean...."
"Just shut up and get me the damn turtleneck" I cried out in frustration. She nodded and disappeared in the closet.
"Tilt green or yellow?" She yelled.
"Tilt green" you can't really judge me for choosing the tilt green because I hate bright colors except for white and blue which are my favorite colors actually. Zoey reappeared and handed me the shirt.
"Zoey?"
"Yeah?" She replied absent mindedly as she stuffed her bag with books.
"Did he or whatever did this violate me?"
"No" she replied in a monotone voice.

"You're five minutes late" my Maths teacher said stating the obvious.
"I'm sorry. I lost track of time" I said with my innocent voice.
"I'll pardon you on this one but don't go slacking on me" I nodded and made for my usual backseat. Alex was giving me. the 'what-have-you-been-up-to' look but I ignored him and looked straight ahead at the teacher. I was paying full attention to the teacher but I got distracted by Alex moving to sit beside me. I gave him the leave-me-the-f**k-alone look and diverted my attention back to the teacher. Alex sent me a note and I opened it.
ςɑղ վօմ Տҽղժ ʍҽ վօմɾ ղմʍҍҽɾ?
ԵհɑղkՏ.
I glared at him and replied.
no. ɛ۷ɛŋ ıʄ ყơų ɧąקקɛŋ ŧơ ɠɛŧ mყ ŋųmცɛř ı ɯıٳٳ ɖɛĆٳıŋɛ.
He c****d an eyebrow at me but I ignored him.
*-*-*-*-*-*-
I was able to get through the first three periods without Alex bugging me and it was already gym period. I was allowed to not participate in what gym had for the day so I could run. This was because we always had annual competitions. I didn't want anyone seeing my hickeys so I changed to my sports bra and adidas shorts and waited for all the girls to leave the locker room so I won't be seen. When I was sure The coast was clear I snuck out to the tracks. After tying my hair up in a ponytail I took off. I ran with all the strength mustered in me. Even though I've been winning gold medals ever since I was 10, running was my passion and my life. Singing and martial arts were also what I loved to do. Who would believe I've learnt two different ones and karate is my third?. I loved to excel in everything I did and that was the main reason I was good at everything I did. Including my studies. I haven't made up my mind on the college I'll be going to yet. I hope to get a scholarship though because I'm a straight A student. My schedule is always tight so I really don't have time for boys. I had so many advances from boys but I've never taken them seriously. I just had this feeling that the there's someone out there created for me to love.
I came to a stop and blew my whistle and then I realized I wasn't alone.
"You could do a whole lot better than that" my head shot up and turned around to see Alex sitting down on a bench seven feet away from me. How did I not notice him all along? He was wearing black skinny jeans with chains by the side and an ash shirt. I know you'll probably be like how did I not notice him when I got to class but trust me I can be totally ignorant. As if he knew I was scrutinizing his appearance,he smirked.
"Like what you see?" He said standing up.
"I've seen far much more better" I sneered.
"Oh really?" He said coming closer to me. I kept moving backwards but he was gaining on me. I accelerated my speed and almost fell but he caught me by my waist before I landed. The contact was intoxicating I almost passed out. His eyes were raking my body and I blushed,remembering my hickeys. f**k! f**k! f**k!! I could see amusement in his eyes as he was counting them. Some nerve he got! The amusement was replaced by jealousy as he cleared his throat and spoke up.
"I see you had fun with your mate" he spat out in disgust. I looked at him in confusion.
"What the hell is a mate?" I asked,a little bit curious. He had this confused look in his eyes and then a look that said realization dawned on him.
"I mean Kyle,your boyfriend" I looked at him weirdly.
"Kyle is not my boyfriend dumb ass" I fired back.
"Now please keep your pervert eyes off my boobs"
"What if I don't want to?" He said coming closer to my face. I turned crimson red as his breathe was fanning my face. This was just too much
"I see you're unaffected by me"he said huskily as his breathing was now ragged. I was going to say you are on your own on that one but this was not the time. He leaned in closer and I closed my eyes,scared that this was going to be my first kiss. I totally didn't want my first kiss to be like this. Awkwardly,his lips never met mine. Instead,he brushed a stray strand of my hair on my face to the side. This was so embarrassing. He helped me up and I thanked him. I checked the time on my wristwatch and cursed under my breathe. It was already 20 minutes to the next period. I turned on my heels and jogged out of Alex's face but strangely I never felt him on my heels. I just heard a wolf whistle and I rolled my eyes,knowing who it was.
"Nice legs"
"Shut up"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I should have showered by now but thanks to Alex I hadn't. I didn't want to be late for my History class so I had to hurry. I spotted Kyle across the hallway and jogged up to him. I was going to ask him what happened at the club but he was kinda sensitive on the whole thing so I kept my cool. I would definitely pry those two lovebirds later.
"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" I asked.
"The teacher is absent. Got involved in some accident" Kyle said smiling.
"And his substitute?"
"He isn't present" he said,avoiding my gaze.
"Kyle I know you're Lying"
"Can you please stop acting like my parents?" He said, imitating a five year old kid. It was kinda cute and funny so I Laughed lightly. I came closer and ruffled his hair. He rose his nose up and sniffed the air then stepped back from me,cringing his nose.
"Jeez Sav what did you do,roll in a dumpster or something?" I glared at him playfully.
"I just took a run kiddo."I checked the time on my wristwatch.15 more minutes.
"I gotta scoot Kyle. See you in the cafeteria" I said,turning on my heels but I didn't get far. I crashed into a wall and...wait there Wasn't any wall there. I stared straight ahead and only saw legs so I had to look up. He was so tall and hot and....Cash. I looked into his eyes and realized it was the pair of blue eyes that has been on my mind. Kyle was laughing at me and I turned to glare at him.
"Not funny Kyle"
"Ahem" I turned back to see Cash flashing me a megawatt smile.
Mental note: if I'm going to be seeing him often I should not that he loves attention. What am i thinking? We can't possibly be seeing each other often.
He helped me up with his smile not wavering. I felt electric tingles run down my hand where he touched me and I withdrew it then stared at it. What's going on?. His eyes danced with amusement and I frowned,pouting my lips and tapping my leg.
"You think this is funny you,you,you...."
Cash Cash! My mind seemed to yell but I wanted to call him something else.
"You person" what did I just say? I mentally smacked my forehead multiple times and sighed. He looked like he was refraining from laughing.
"But I wasn't laughing" he said and joined Kyle in the whole laughter. Was this some sort of inside joke? Why wasn't I getting it? I hate this sort of moments. Kyle was even holding his stomach and wiping fake tears.
"Kyle I won't get you the bucket of chicken nuggets I promised you" and with that he stopped laughing. I sent the 'vain' cash a glare and he also stopped laughing.
"Do not mock me or else..."
"Else what?" He said,coming closer.
"I'll most definitely break your spine and you'll be a vegetable"
"Really...."
"What's your name" i asked suddenly. He looked amazed but I pressed on.
"Don't make me repeat myself"
"Nick Callahan"
"Good"
"Good?"
"What?"
"You don't want to test run my name?"
"No"
I guess my head was not on earth because I found myself slammed on the lockers with Nick's hands caging me in.
"I will most definitely love to see you try" he said in what I could probably guess was a bedroom voice. Now that my friends,most definitely left me speechless. He sniffed my hair and exhaled loudly,almost as if he relished the scent. What the.... His eyes raked my body but most definitely stopped at my boobs. I instantly remembered my hickeys and i almost died. Nick had this angry look in his eyes and I wondered why.
"Who did this to you?" He seethed. I didn't like the way he was acting possessive.
"It's none of your business" I spat . So much for trying to hide them.
"Like hell it is" he fired back.
"You're not the boss of me"
"You are mine" he growled and his hands slid down to my waist. Kyle save me from this madman. He was all over my neck and was kissing it. The electric tingles were all over where he touched me and it felt strange but really good. I didn't want Kyle to see this so I tried pushing him away but he growled and his grip on my waist tightened.... Oh my gosh! He f*****g growled. Now I'm getting scared. I felt his teeth graze my skin and his grip tightened all the more .He was going to be the death of me and I literally meant it.
"Please stop" I breathed out. He kept on kissing my neck and his teeth was grazing it all the more. I was really finding it hard to not let my guard down.
"Nick you're hurting me" I said gasping for air. He was really choking me. Kyle finally came back to life and jumped on Nick then tackled him to the floor. His eyes were pitch black and I totally freaked.
"Savannah run!" Kyle yelled as he was finding it hard to keep him down. He really doesn't need to tell me twice.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It was time to go to the cafeteria and I couldn't be more grateful. I was so hungry. I grabbed two cupcakes and grape juice then headed for my usual table with Kyle and Zoey. They were giving me this weird attitude like they were hiding something. School cafeteria had three sections. The cool kids section,the wannabes and the geek section. The cool kids were mostly those that participated in sports such as basketball, football, soccer,lacrosse, athletes and cheerleaders. The glee club just has a lot of cool kids from other sports in it so I don't really have to mention. My jerk brother Blake was striker of The soccer team and since they were enemies with the football team Nick and Blake always fought. Zoey was referred to as the 'miracle' because she did not participate in sports but was as cool as hell. Kyle used to sit with the football team but ever since he got official with Zoey he sits with us. I guess they were pretty serious.
Immediately when Nick entered the hallway I locked eyes with him and it felt like time froze. Then I looked away and it played. I wonder what that was all about in the hallway.
"Can I sit over here with you guys?" Alex asked,coming towards us.
"Of course you can" Zoey said with a smile only I knew was fake. Kyle was just glaring daggers at Alex. He sat down beside me and the whole cafeteria fell silent. It was like I just broke an unspoken rule. I felt his hot gaze on the side of my face so I looked straight ahead to see Nick looking at me intently. He looked very angry and his eyes burned with-jealousy?
"There's a little something on your face" Alex said,making me divert my gaze to him.
"What?'
"On your forehead" I tried to clean it but he gave me a disapproving look. He came closer and used his thumb to clean it while his other hand was resting on my thigh. I looked at him but he acted like he didn't notice. Of course he did! What if there wasn't anything on my face? Before I could guess answers, I heard a bang on the table and looked up to see Nick looking very furious.
"I bet there was nothing on her face" he seethed.
"You obviously couldn't see well or you got an eye problem? It's a shame for the quarterback to be wearing glasses isn't it?" Alex spat back and wrapped his hand around my waist.
"Or do you have a problem with me touching her?" I looked at Alex incredulously. Nick looked like he was going to murder oh and guess what? I guessed right.
"You f*****g leech!" Nick roared and flung him across the cafeteria. Alex stood up Immediately as though he was untouched. He came back matching towards Nick looking just as mad as he was.
"How could you f*****g lay your f*****g filthy hands on me dog?" Alex said,punching His face. I was expecting to hear the breaking of bones because the sound was deafening but I didn't My eyes widened in horror knowing I had caused this. It has happened several other times like in 7th,8th, and 9th grade. Even last week when....This wasn't time for counting. I had to act fast because even Kyle was in the killing machine mode. The whole football team stood up and took a defensive stance behind Nick. The whole soccer team also stood up and did the same to Alex. All the fight boys had over me wasn't this serious.
"You mess with one of us you mess with all" Nick said in an eerily calm voice. Blake stepped forward and glared at Nick.
"You started all of this you f****d up animal. Amma say this just once. Keep your paws off my sister because she isn't one of your easy f***s"
Wait a minute.
Alex is in the soccer team?
"She is mine!" He growled menacingly.
"f*****g bastard" Alex swore and Made for Nick.
"You asked for it" was all Nick said and was about to punch Alex when I plunged into their middle. I knew I was risking my flawless face but this had to end.
"Stop!" I yelled,closing my eyes. Nick's hand did not touch my face so I opened my eyes and saw it hanging mid air. I exhaled and continued.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? Fighting over a girl who barely knows you?"
The soccer team marched out of the cafeteria and I exhaled loudly. Nick was going to leave as well when Amber came crooning over Nick. I rolled my eyes at her. Some ambitious fool.
"Come on baby,don't get mad at this stupid farm girl" she crooned but Nick didn't even bat an eyelash at her. She almost fell as he shrugged her off.
"Come back here you bastard!" She yelled but he didnt budge.
"It's over between us!" She said, trying to get his attention and she succeeded this time.
"You just made my work a whole lot easier" he said and turned back. I stifled my laughter but Zoey laughed out loud. No one could dare her anyway. I wasn't really surprised Nick anf Amber had history.
