Chapter 6 . . . . Kinley Pov . . . . A year and a half later. " Kinley, What are you doing here so early suga? " I turn around after serving one of our regulars to Ginger questioning me as usual. I practically live at her diner now. When I'm keeping my head down at school, I'm hiding here. Anywhere is better than being at Pamela and Dinos house. Over the past year, I've filled out a lot more. Probably from eating ginger's amazing food on a regular basis. I now have an hourglass figure instead of my old rectangular shape. But you wouldn't know it from the oversized clothes that I keep myself in these days. Like I said. I want to stay under the radar. Other than that, nothing else has really changed. I get picked on a home, I get picked on at school. My only reprieve is the diner. " I'm just trying to help out before school Aunt Ginger. " I replied to her. She insisted that I call her Aunt Ginger. She says it's cause we're basically family but I think it's cause she's been getting closer to Uncle Joe. He's come to visit me from time to time and meet up at the diner. Him and Ginger hit it off almost immediately. I was happy for them. They both deserve to be loved. The only issue is Uncle Joe can't stay here to long as he is needed at the Ranch and Aunt Ginger being needed at the diner. I hear the chime of the bell, indicating someone is entering. When I looked over to greet the customer, Of course it was non other then the jerky gods and their little hord of hoes. I mentally slapped myself. I didn't want to have to deal with them just yet. Someone found out that I worked here and ever since more kids started coming in just to give me a hard time.. Aunt Ginger is most definitely my saving grace. " You go in to the back. I'll handle them. " She tells me and I felt so relieved. She has seen first hand, the damage they've caused me and for some reason I can't get off their bad side. I rush to the bathroom so I can get myself together before school. It's finally my senior year. Just 4 months left before graduation and 3 weeks till my 18th birthday. I'm finally closer to my goals. I open the door to leave the bathroom and wouldn't ya know it. I'm slammed into the hard wall that is known as King. Just give me a break already! I'm mentally pleading. " Going somewhere kitten? " he asks me. I'm not sure where they keep coming up with these nicknames but nothing I say or do will stop them either. I look up at him and mentally shudder. The way he stares at me makes me feel naked and vulnerable. " Sorry, I didn't see you there. I'll just get out of your way. " I've learned that if I don't want my day to be worse then just to apologize to them and stay out of their way. Usually it works but today? Doesn't seem to be. " Uh uh, Not this time." He shakes his head at me, his eyes never moving from me. I slowly back up but he just inches closer and closer, until we're both fully standing in the bathroom. Way too close for my liking. My back eventually touches the wall and he cages me in between him. One arm on the wall, the other on my hip. I inhaled sharply and felt as if I couldn't breathe. King was in my space and he was so damn intoxicating. He leaned in, close to my ear and whispered. " We agreed that's it's time. " We? Who's we? and what time is that? I couldn't think straight. I couldn't even respond. He hovered over me. His eyes never leaving mine. I licked my lips involuntarily and he then stared at my lips as our faces were inches apart. I was in a trance. The bathroom door burst open and startled me. There stood a very angry Alexis. " King! What the hell is going on here? " King stepped back and without even looking at Alexis, he snarled. " How about you mind your f*****g business. " Then stepped out. Leaving Alexis and I both stumped. We both knew that he was talking to her, but that just fueled her rage towards me even more. " I warned you slut! Now get ready for the repercussions! " She said to me then walked out after him. I was left speechless and wondering WTF just happened. I decided to just stay away from everyone today at school. Not like Ive never tried before but now? something feels different. I already feel a slight bruise of kings hand prints on my hip. I didn't realize just how tight he was holding on to me. I looked at my watch and noticed that I only had 15 minutes till first my class started, that definitely put a little pep in my step. I rushed out saying goodbye to everyone but not before grabbing my bags and clocking out and then ran down the street. By the time I reached the school and into my class the bell had rung. I had just made it. Relieved, I went to sit in my usual spot when I saw My 3 tormentors surrounding it. This class was full and I had nowhere else to sit. King was at the desk behind mine, Ace, right next to me and Reign in front of me. I stood there frozen. I looked at the spot they always sat at and saw the people who say there before were now occupying the guys seats. " Ms. Michaels! Would you like to have a seat? I have a class to teach you " Mrs. Taylor said to me. I slowly made my way to my desk. I heard snickering around the room, The boys were smirking at me but if looks could kill, I'd be dead from the rage pulsating from Deena and Alexis. Oh did I forget to mention? My evil cousins found their way into her majesty's good graces and now follows her and her squad around like stink on s**t. Me being the topic of it all. How great is this?
