My Angel, My protector

A Lot For A First Day

Freya’s P.O.V

    “What took you so long?” Lexi asked irritated as soon as I climbed into the car.

    I was occupied with my own thoughts with a wide smile on my face that I couldn’t even concentrate with her. I was the happiest person in the world right now.

    “Why do you look like you saw your favorite caramel ice cream dipped with chocolate?” She knew exactly how to grab my attention, I looked at her and a huge smile crept again across my face.

    “This is the best day of my life!”

    She gave me a confused look telling me to carry on.

    I turned to her grabbing both of her hands in mine, squeezing them, and  almost shouted “I met him todayyy!!!”

    Lexi took a moment and then she immediately understood who I was referring to.

    “OH MY GOD!!How???When??Tell me the details!” She was even more excited than me. I love this girl. I told her everything from the moment he called me angel to the moment I fell in his arms.

    “Wow! He called you ‘his angel’!! That's amazing.. Really, I’m happy that you met each other again cause I couldn’t bear your blabbering about him all the time.” She said with a smirk on her face soon turning into a frown when I elbowed her.

    “What was that for?”

    “For confessing that you are fed up with your best friend’s blabbing.”

    We looked intensely in each other’s eyes that lasted a few moments before we burst out with laughter. Who are we kidding? We can never be mad at each other; we are more like sisters. Then, she started the car driving us home.

    “So, are you excited to see him tomorrow?” Lexi asked smiling, her eyes fixed on the road.

    “YESS!!” I squealed then I took a deep breath and added “You know Lex, I never felt attracted to someone in my life... I don’t know from where these feelings are coming, I’ve never felt anything like this before, I feel so safe as if nothing will happen to me when I’m around him, not to mention how my heart beats wildly around him... And all this after meeting twice without even knowing anything about him? I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I think I’m overreacting...”

    “No cupcake, you’re not overreacting. Even though you didn’t notice it yet, but you like him and I don’t mean that tiny crush...no.. you are head over heels about him. That is how I feel about Jake. I really like him too. And for the not knowing him part, cupcake sometimes people fall in love at the first sight without knowing one the other's name, it is all about the attraction and chemistry they share.” Her words make sense, but I didn’t want to rise my hopes up maybe he will turn out to be someone rude and heartless and I won’t like him anymore. Really Freya?? Couldn’t you come up with a better excuse?

    We soon reached my house. I say my goodbyes to Lexi and head inside.

    “Hey Mom!” I greeted my mother and sat on the counter.

    “Hey sweetie! How was your first day?”

    “You can say tomorrow is going to be my first day. I spent the day with Mrs. Grayson, she hired me to help her with the student’s archives.” I sigh.

    “Oh sweetheart! You must be tired. While I prepare for dinner, take a shower and relax.” She said kissing my cheek.

    After dinner, I spent my time with my family, playing PS4 with Troy and as usual I am the loser here. Right now, I am laying on my bed thinking of none other than Alexander. A smile formed on my face once again. He has a special name with a wonderful meaning matching my own. How did I know? I googled it. I know I am weird, but I was interested knowing that his name has a deep meaning. With the thought of him, I drifted in my own sleep.

    I woke up sleepily to the sound of my alarm. Did I mention how much I hate alarms? I extended it ten more minutes, but then I remembered that I would see him today. I jumped off my bed excitedly, running into the closet, I chose one of my favorite dresses, a yellow one. I left my hair down, applying lip gloss, keeping it simple.

    “Good morning.” I said with a smile on my face.

    “Good morning baby.” Dad smiled at me.

    “Sweetie, you look beautiful.” Mom exclaimed.

    “Yes, and she is wearing her favorite dress. I wonder for who?” Troy said with a stern look.

    I almost chocked my own saliva. What am I supposed to reply? That I am dressed nicely cause I’m going to meet Alexander? Pleasee, God help me.

    “Leave your little sister alone Josh, she can dress as she wants. She looks gorgeous.” That’s mom.

    Phewww... Thank god. I gave mom a thank you look, and added. “Spare me big bro. And to answer your question, I always dress nicely on my first day.” In those situations, I always try to answer my brother because if I don’t, he will suspect and I don’t want to go anywhere near that.  After breakfast, I walked to school with a wide smile. ‘Come on Freya! Hide your excitement. You look like a nine-year-old child who is crushing on the bad boy (child) next door’ My subconscious shouted.

    I entered school trying to control my racing heart, some boys winking at me and I tried ignoring them. I scanned through the students searching for him, but he was no were to be seen, maybe he’s late...

    As I was walking towards my locker, a boy called me.

    “Hey beautiful! Looking good today!” Nate smirked putting his hands on my hips and pulling me towards him. I gasp at his action. What is he trying to do? I immediately yanked his hands off me and gave him a confused look.

    “Hey Nate.” I said taking a step backwards, not wanting to make a scene because this is Nate we are talking about.

    He got angry of my reaction but soon masked it with a forced smile and said sternly “Meet me at the cafeteria, we will be having lunch together.”

    I froze in my own place. Nate wants to have lunch with me?? From when did he notice my presence? Ughhh.. how am I supposed to reply now??

    “Umm.. sorry but I have plans with someone else.” I said looking everywhere preventing his now fuming eyes.

    “You will cancel that.” He said through gritted teeth.

    Who does he think himself?? If I said I don’t want that means I don’t want. These boys can’t take a no for an answer.

    “I said NO, so please move, I have better things to do.” I said frustrated.

    “You will regret this Freya.” He threatened me, anger noticeable on his face.

    He left and I stood in my place, lost in thoughts with a little feeling of fear. This was Nate Stewarts, the school's bad boy, and you can say the worst of the bad boys. He can make anyone’s life a living hell just for the fun of it. I was beyond angry because he had the guts to touch me without my permission rather than that I would’ve had lunch with him without making him angry. I don’t know what the consequences will be… But why all of a sudden NATE STEWARTS had interest to talk to me and have lunch with me??! What a morning to start your first day with?!

    “Hey sunshine.”

    I was so lost in my own anger that I couldn’t recognize the person’s voice, I just thought that Nate came back. I turned around and snapped “I told you I don’t want to ha-“ as soon as I looked at his eyes, I lost all my senses. It was Alexander. How could I look at those beautiful eyes and not get lost in them?

    “Are you okay?” he looked worried soon his hands turned into fists “I saw some guy talking to you, did he do something to you?”

    I thought for a second. I don’t want him to get in any trouble because of me plus he is new here. Nate is a troublemaker and I don’t want him to be involved with him.

    “No. Nothing serious, don’t worry.” I said not looking in his eyes.

    “Okay if you say so. But I’m always here if you need anything.” He assured me with his sweet smile now that he calmed down.

    “Thank you.” I said my eyes lost again in his and then added “What is your first class?”

    “Mathematics and you?”

    “Same.”

    “Then I can be your desk mate.” He winked at me.

    “Of course.” I say blushing. Why am I blushing???

    We walked into the class together chatting about random stuff. I was happy being with him, he is cute in every way possible. What are you doing to me Alexander?

    We sat in the middle of the class laughing and talking. I could sense some glares from the girls but I couldn’t care less. He turned out to be someone very funny. Did I mention that he has the world’s most beautiful smile? I even noticed that he is a somehow cold towards other... I wonder why he is not around me. I took the opportunity to look at his face as he was so focused with the teacher, he is just handsome in every way possible, his hypnotized eyes, his perfect jawline, his cherry lips. I can’t wait to know more about this boy. I know it is early, but I always want to be by his side, to be his partner in his laughter, in his sadness, to be his secret keeper, and even to be his competitor in racing games on PSPs. But all that if he lets me to. I have a feeling there is much more than a cold person in him and I wish to know the reason.
