The Moon Goddesses Mated Granddaughter

Chapter 2: Mate

Annikah's Perspective

WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME? I sat there in complete shock, our faces inches from each other, my heavy breathing from the almost fall, and the weird sensation. We sat there like that for a few seconds until I realized that people were staring. I yanked my wrist out from his grip as if it was on fire and took a step back. I looked down at the ground to see my books scattered along the floor, I bent down and started picking them up. 

Thoughts were racing through my head on what to do when I had to stand back up to face him. Should I apologize? Would he be angry? Should I just run while I still have the chance?

 My thoughts were interrupted by the man's hand in front of my face, offering me assistance while I stood back up. My eyes slowly looked over his body as I lifted my head to meet his gaze. He wore jeans, black sneakers, a varsity football coat, and a black shirt that showed off his muscular body. He had dark brown hair with beautiful hazel eyes, his skin had a light tan and a stubble on his perfect face that just made him even more attractive. He was just a bit taller than 6 feet, which was incredibly tall compared to my 5'4 self.

 His eyes greeted mine as we looked at each other, I hesitantly stood up without grabbing his hand. Could you blame me? I mean I just met this guy and in the worst way possible, I would have felt greedy taking his kind hand after I knocked into him plus, as I said earlier, I hate being touched. His lips turned up to the corner of his face revealing perfectly straight, pearly white teeth, my body instantly covered itself in goosebumps. I looked down from his gaze trying to muster up some strength so I could actually form a sentence.

"S-sorry, I wasn't looking where I was g-going," I whispered weakly

"It's ok, it was an accident," he said in a silky smooth voice that caused chills to creep up my spine. I looked up at him skeptically and saw his eyes trailing over my body. When I saw what he was doing my body went stiff, he must have noticed because he immediately looked up at me. His eyes peering up at me through his long fluffy eyelashes. They turned gentle instantly but I could still see attraction displayed in his eyes but I wasn't sure what he saw, it couldn't have been me because I was hideous compared to him.

"Are you new here, I haven't met you before?"

"Y-yes. I just moved here from Alaska."

"Hmm, what's your name? I'm Xavier," he said softly while holding out his open palm.

"I-I'm Annikah, but I go by Anna," I said meekly while taking his hand.

I felt the sparks shoot up in my body once again. His eyes widened and flashed me a strong, irresistible smile when he shook my hand. Did he feel the same spark when he touched me? I felt my face heat up and I swiftly looked down to the ground hoping to hide it but he obviously saw because he let go and stared at me with complete fascination. He mumbled something to himself, but it was something along the lines of, beautiful. I was positive that he hadn't been talking about me, I mean I'm not even mildly attractive. I was sure of that.

 I looked back up at him, his eyes had flickered black before melting back to hazel, as they did I found something in his eyes that I didn't recognize. Lust. I was confused, lost, I completely forgot that there were eyes glued to us until I heard someone whisper. "She's gorgeous,"  and, "That's the new girl, she looks like a model," I looked around Xavier and myself to see people staring right back at us. I turned back to the godlike creature in front of me and said,

"S-sorry again, umm, I have to head to class. I-it was nice to m-meet you." I gave him a feeble smile and walked off, I was shaking once again so to distract myself I headed to my homeroom even though I still had another 30 minutes until class started, I didn't care I just wanted to get away from everybody. I would meet up with my brother Max at lunch.

When I walked inside I saw a short spunky girl dancing around the room with earbuds in her ears while singing along. It was Spanish, she had tan skin and dark hair in braids, she had hoops in her ears with matching camouflage joggers and a hoodie crop top. When she turned around continuing to dance she yelled out, "Aye! Nueva chica! Bailar!" [New girl! Dance!] I shook my head but when she unplugged her headphones and came towards me and grabbed my hand to dance I couldn't help but sway to the motion. Soon enough swaying became full-on dancing. When the music ended she hugged me and laughed, I already knew we were going to be best friends so I hugged her back. When we broke apart she introduced herself,

"Hola, I'm Isabel. You must be Annikah?" I nodded my head. "Bueno, I wanted to get to you before las chicas locas messed with you. Can I see your schedule?" I handed her it but became kinda shocked when she pulled out her phone and took a picture. When she handed it back she saw my face and begin to explain,

"I wanted to hang with you after classes and stuff, está eso bien?"

"Yeah, that's cool,"

"Buena, most of your classes we are anyways so. Yo, can I get your number to text you?

"Sure." We exchanged numbers, the bell rang and people started pouring in so I took the seat across from Isabel. The teacher started his lesson when I felt my phone silently vibrate, I had gotten a message from Isabel, I smiled and looked at her. She smiled back, the message wrote,

'want to sit together at lunch?'

'sure' I responded.

Time seemed to go by quicker than expected because soon enough it was lunchtime.

I was never a fan of lunch because everybody stared and since I was not only the new girl but also that whole thing that happened this morning with Xavier was going to get me major stares from people I didn't know. I walked to my locker and grabbed out my plain white lunch bag that held a water bottle, a sandwich, some chips, and an apple inside. I don't think I could eat because most of my stomach was already filled up with butterflies. I made my way to the cafeteria and stopped at the double doors, it was like a thick barrier that protected me from my peer's judgmental stares, I took a deep breath in and slowly opened the door to reveal the cafeteria full of students.

I sighed in relief when everybody was preoccupied with talking with there friends or getting lunch. Wow was I that conceded to think people would be focused on me, I am selfish. I was pulled from scolding myself in my head by someone grabbing me into a forceful hug, I gasped and unfortunately breathed in that familiar wet dog smell from this morning and knew exactly who was behind me. They rubbed there hands on my waist, and for the first time I wanted to hit someone. I wanted to stand up for myself so I freed an arm, bent it so my elbow was pointing back at the guy, and shot back my arm thrusting my elbow into his stomach while I smashed his toes with my foot. He let go of me immediately, I turned to face him and saw his arms holding his stomach and his injured foot in the air. I leaned into his face so that he could hear me,

"Don't ever touch me again, creep." I sneered, he grew angry but I didn't care. I was extremely shocked by what I had done, I've never acted like this before. I don't know what came over me but I was filled with courage.

 I turned and started to walk away when I heard footsteps rush up behind me, I quickly looked back at the perverted youth to see his fist balled, face red, and eyes dark. He was going to punch me and I couldn't do anything about it, I braced myself by tensing up my body and closing my eyes. When nothing happened for a few seconds I opened my eyes just a bit to see what was happening, my eyes widened with shock from what I saw. Xavier was in front of me, one arm held out in front of my body for protection, his other arm was raised in front of his face and his hand had caught the perverted guys fist before it hit me.
