Chapter 6: Saveen age 16

"What do you mean, there is nothing you can do about it? I signed up for art. I was looking forward to that one class, Mr. Sutton!" I exclaimed, " I am sorry, Saveen, I am not sure what happened, but the art class is full. You will just have to deal with the fundamentals of automotive this year. I mean, it won't hurt to take that class, it gives you great skills for life." With a big sigh, I grab my schedule and glare at him. " You know what f**k this s**t!" I say under my breath as I turn to walk away, but like the owl she is, Mrs. Blitcher yells, "Watch your language in my school, Saveen. Don't make me write you after school detention on the first day!" She is in her office, so she can hear me. I will never know. As I walk to my first period, I have 7 periods of advanced classes, because I want to graduate and get the hell out of here next year, and then stupid automotive class. Sure, it will be helpful, but it's not what I wanted to freaking do! The whole day goes by in a blur, same stuff, just a different year. I can tell I'm going to love my History and Science class. My English teacher, I am not so sure about, and of course, I got the biggest hard ass as my math teacher, Mr. Flix. It's his way or this highway, and if you can't show your work, don’t bother turning it in. As I walk into my 8th-period class, a guy pushes past me in a rush and knocks my phone out of my hand. " Hey, watch where you're going!" he tells me, to which I yelled back, " How about you use your eye and walk, you dumb t**t waffle," but in don’t think he heard me. I walk into Mrs. Shefield's room, but there is NO ONE in here. I sit at my desk, and wait for the bell has already ring, but she still isn't in here. That's when I hear it, "Come on, guys, don’t just leave your tools around this year. I don't want to replace it and it comes out of my pocket!" That's my teacher, but where are they?

I walk to the side door and open it up to see a 4-car shop with like 15 boys from my class working on cars and parts. Mrs. Shefield spots me, "Oh, you're my new student, ummmm Saveen, right?" To which 15 teenage boys stop what they are doing and stare at me, " Uhhh yeah, I kind of got stuck here by accident, don't ask me how, but I'm here." I said shyly, she nodded her head, "That's okay, that's okay. Do you know anything about cars?" Before I could answer, I heard a familiar voice, " I can answer that, and the answer is No." Dex is standing there now in a white wife-beater shirt and a gray jumpsuit with it half off his body and tied around his waist. Holy crap, he looked hot like that, and he knew it too. He smiled at me cause he caught me checking him out and looking him over. " Listen, sweetheart, if I had known this is what you liked, I would have worn this this morning when I helped you." That pulled me out of my state of checking him out. I looked at him with an evil smile " Oh sweetheart if your so starved for attention, I am sure there is a lot lizard dien for your affection somewhere out there." he put his hand over his heart like I wounded him and the guys in the shop just died laughing "Ouch pretty girl ouch" the teacher came to my side " Oh you are going to be just fine in here, so my class is different. I don’t test, I don’t teach, I don’t grade. It's be here, get dirty and learn how to fix a car and what the parts do. That is your grade, and since you are new to this I am going to get you with my best helper." She walks to the last bay where is sees 4 guys who look all like Dex and one under the car working on something." Saveen, this is Dexter, as you know, and the stooges Asher, Sebastian, and Grayson. They are quadruplets, and honestly," she stops talking and just stares at them. " Trouble they are trouble, but they are my best crew, and since Titan left, they are 1 short; we run a 6-man crew here. The one you don’t see is Killian he is the one who will show you the ropes"

She kicks his boot, and he rolls out, and I look down and yell, " Hey, you're the jackass who ran me over earlier!" as he wipes his hands and stands up only to stare down at me. In the deepest, most sexiest voice I ever heard chuckles," Don’t go cleaning it up on my behalf, I believe you called me a t**t waffle," and he leaned down and got in my face. I glare at him. "Oh, sorry, I forgot you're no lady, here I am trying to protect what little dignity you had left. " I hear Asher laugh, and Dexter covered his mouth. Grayson and Sebastian are just too stunned to do anything. Before we could finish our Mexican standoff Mrs. Shefield interrupted " Oh this year is going to be, delightful. Kill you are going to be teaching her and you better do it right or you won’t be racing this quarter. Have fun my dear, and get messy!" she walked away all happy Killian yell " Awe come on no I don’t want to be teaching, little miss thunder thighs here." I gasp, and Dexter walks over to him and punches him in the gut. " You know you don’t have to be a dickhead just because you got your ass shown up to the best-looking girl here." The bell rang, and I spun on my heels and went to walk out. I hear Dex yell after me, but I keep going. See, this is what I get for talking this year should have just minded my own and kept quiet. It's a madhouse because everyone is trying to get home. Of course, it is raining hard, by now, and I make a run for my car. I get in and take a moment to breathe. I stick the keys in the ignition, and nothing. I blink a couple of times and try again. Nothing. I slap the wheel and throw my head back. Some birthday, and what a crappy day. I have to walk home; my mother made it clear, don't call because she is not helping. I don't have homework, thankfully, so I leave my backpack in my car and put my hood up. I know it's pointless because I have a 10-mile walk home and I'm going to get drenched. I put my phone in the only place I could think of, which was my bra and got out. It was raining hard, and I was already cold.

I start my walk, thankfully, I don't have to work today as I took the day off for my birthday. I got about 3 miles in when I heard this loud truck coming down the road. I step off to the side and continue to walk, but for some reason, the truck doesn't pass me. I look over my shoulder, and it's Killian McWright with his window down, with a puzzled look on his face. "What are you doing! You're going to catch pneumonia!" he yells over the rain and his truck. " I am fine, thank you. You can go, I'm almost home!" and I start walking again. "No, you're not Saveen, I live 10 houses down from you! You still have like 7 miles I'll take you home, get in!" he goes to unlock the truck. " No, thank you, Killian McWright, I can walk. How do you even know where I live! If it wasn't for today, you would have never talked to me!" Saveen, get in the truck, you are soaked to the bones, it's fine, get in!" I start to walk a little faster as I ignore him. He heard him say, " You have to count of 3, and if you don't get in, I will make you get in." I laughed, " Right, you are going to make ol’ thunder thighs get in your truck, please grow the f**k up and just go home!" I hear him growl, to which he speeds up and gets in front of me and gets out of his truck. " I asked you nicely, but NO, you had to act like a brat, come here, little mustang, now before I get really mad, I hate the rain." As he stalks towards me, " Killian, don’t you dare. I will fight you." He smiled an evil smile that made me shiver despite the rain. "Oh, please, do I love a good fight," and I took off running. Why? I don't know because God knows I'm the slowest runner ever. He caught me in 5 secs and threw me over his shoulder, and was walking back to his truck. " Killian put me down now! I don't need your help!!! If I get pneumonia, oh, freaking well, not like anyone cares!" as I'm slapping his back. He reaches up and slaps me on the ass, and I stop moving, trying to process what he just did. He threw me in my seat and buckled me in. "Now that wasn't so hard," he got into his truck and drove home. When we got to my house, he stopped, and I slowly unbuckled. "Hey. I'm sorry for what I said in school, Dex was right. Im not used to people standing up to me and you. You have always been that girl who was under my radar, and quite so I was quite surprised. I look forward to teaching you in class tomorrow." I finally looked at him and nodded my head. I opened the door. " Okay, sure, but Killian,” He turned to look at me, “If you ever smack my ass again. I will drop a car on you." For the second time today, he gave me an evil grin that gave me a shiver. Before he could answer, I got out of his truck and walked up to my house. I walked through the door and didn't see it coming. My Dad smacked me in my face and grabbed my hair. " What do you think you are doing, getting out of Davis McWright sons truck! Where is your car!? You are making us look bad again!" That was the 3rd worst beating he ever gave me. e.
