The Renegade

UNCONTROLLED

Zee -

"No! Please stop"

What the?

"I don't have anything to wear, please stop!"

Is someone crying?

YAWN.

Stretching my arms and legs, I brushed my eyes to see what the hell is going on.

When I saw a group of girls, I wanted to leave and avoid their attention quickly but then I failed to step away when my eyes saw her.

The girl who bugged me in my mind. The cat-eyed beauty that I've met. Despite her head hanging low, I can never mistake her with anyone else.

When I realized what the girls have done to her, my eyes wanted to scream anger but I had to control myself or all hell will break loose.

"You are all so f*****g noisy" I say and ignore the wrath that's beginning to eat me alive.

"How dare you speak against us!"

My jaw clenched as I walk past through all of them. I ignored their snarky comments and thoughts as I read from their f*****g minds.

I removed my leather jacket and placed it over her small tiny frame.

How can they hurt someone as innocent as this girl?

Slowly, she looked at me in the eye and my heart skipped a beat.

Why am I being so affected by this girl?

When our gaze finally met, a tear escaped her eye and right there and then, I felt protective of her.

I closed my eyes forcefully for a few seconds because my anger is beginning to take over. I took a deep breath and look at her again.

"Are you okay frying pan?" I ask and she nods.

Tears were falling nonstop from her beautiful pair of feline eyes. My hands moved on their own and brushed them away.

I turned around and looked at the people responsible for hurting her - they were all looking at me like I did something wrong.

"How dare you interfere new student? Don't you know who you're - "

"Shut up. All of you don't deserve your life. I can take them away if I want to but I won't"

I see Krystal smirk.

"You really are arrogant but why do I find you so hot?"

"Maybe because I'm someone you don't want to mess with lady"

"The person behind you ruined my dress and she needs to pay for what she's done"

I sighed heavily and pulled the girl behind me.

"Haven't you had enough?! You already ruined her clothes by stripping her naked!" I yell in anger making everyone flinch in surprise.

I pulled my wallet and gave her all my cash "I'm pretty sure you can buy another set with that money"

She gasps and I smirk.

"Do I look like I need your money?!"

"With that attitude of yours? Money isn't enough to make it right"

I pulled the girl by holding unto her wrists.

"Hey!" Two girls stood in front of us

"Move or I'll hurt you both" I whisper and they quickly obliged.

I don't know where I'm going but I kept on walking. I can feel the girl trying to pull her wrist back but for some reason I don't want to let go.

Why am I being possesive?!

I feel so mad right now!

Gaddamnit!

When we reached the ground floor, I pinned the girl on the wall and caged her in my arms. I lowered my head and pulled my Aviators from my pocket and quickly wore them because I know that my eyes are glowing red out of too much anger.

I sighed heavily and her strawberry scent filled my nose. It was sweet - she was sweet.

"I-I’m sorry" she stutters and I looked up and see her crying again.

"Stop crying! For f**k's sake!"

She flinched and cried harder. Her shoulders were trembling and her whole body is shaking.

Fuck!

"Why didn't you fight back?! Why are you letting them do that to you?!"

She stared at me with bloodshot eyes and my heart ached seeing her vulnerable.

"B-Because I can't fight back! I c-can't lose my scholarship and now that I made Krystal mad, she's p-probably going to talk to her father and kick m-me out!"

I am mad. I am beyond mad - I am furious! That Krystal is a b***h for taking advantage of her reputation. That girl deserves to burn in hell.

Fuck it!

I don't know what's gotten into me when I pulled her in my arms and hugged her tight. She cried harder and I felt her body trembling so I held her tighter against my chest.

She tried to fight back but I held her tighter. This is the first time I held someone in my arms and I have no f*****g idea why I am doing this but it felt so right.

"I'm s-sorry if you h-had to f-fight with them, I-I wished y-you ignored us and let them bully me. T-they might hurt you too and I - "

"Sssshhhh it's okay. No human can hurt me"

When I felt her shoulders relax and her arms snaking around my waist, I pulled back and quickly distanced myself from her.

You can't do this Zephania.

This is wrong!

What the hell are you doing?!

The girl stared at me in shock and I shake my head.

I tried to listen to what she's thinking but it was quiet. I can't hear her thoughts just like the first time we met.

Why can't I read her mind?

She was about to open her mouth but I decided to run away like a f*****g coward.

I can't -

I can't let anyone distract me.

I remember Neziah’s words a long time ago:

"Someday, you'll meet someone who will make you break the rules. So better ready yourself Zee because it's f*****g hard to resist"

Now that I've met this girl, it made me realize that she's probably right and I'm probably doomed.
