Choosing paths

Beginning of weird

"Good morning everyone, I trust the reports have been turned in, I hope you loved Egypt history because the next report submission will be centered on the French revolution" the whole class groaned, I just rolled my eyes, typical Mr. Talin, history lecturer, I think he taught just to torture students, this wasn't part of our syllabus, he just enjoyed zapping the lives out of us.

"Oh there there, that's enough, from french we shall study more advanced areas of this world from the root, don't bother my class, don't pretend like you don't understand and please don't bother me with whatever you don't understand, I have better classes to attend to, understand?, Nice let's begin" are you freaking kidding me?, He didn't even wait for our opinions?, What happened to our fudging rights?.

"I have an introduction for you for your reports, reviews or whatever you call it.

The French Revolution challenged political, social and cultural norms in European society.  Politically, the governmental structure of the Revolution moved from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy to a republic and finally to an oligarchy.  At each stage, the question of who should hold political power was further refined.  The Revolution also undercut the traditional social hierarchy of France, by reducing the privileges of the First (clergy) and Second (nobility) Estates.  The Revolution had a dramatic cultural impact in terms of building nationalism, I don't know what any of this means but I implore you to find out, we'll be writing a test about this, my time is up, goodbye" Mr Talin waved at us as he walked out with his coffee.

I was confused, one second I had history, one second I didn't, I guess I was the only one who could keep my confusion to myself.

"What the f**k just happened?", The girl sitting in front of me said, I'm sure she didn't know she said that out loud as the class erupted in laughter, she blushed while gathering her books and bag to leave for the next class.

We piled out of the class just walking around aimlessly, I leaned against the wall, guessing who this was, who that was, pretending one of them would be a celebrity that would make the students go crazy.

I wondered when the thrill would end, the feeling whenever I walked around never got old, the walls even looked fascinating, college was killing me but I loved every bit of it, especially the people, everyone was so nice, nobody really cared about anything, living was day by day over here.

Yesterday was forgotten, today was treasured but tomorrow was left unknown.

"Hey" A voice said directly into my ear drums.

I jumped from the closeness of this stranger, doesn't anyone understand personal space.

"Uhm hi, how can I help" I said with my brows knitted in annoyance.

"Oh nothing, I was just walking with my guys and I decided to stop by, you look lonely by yourself over here, why don't you walk with me, I can show you around, I'm in my second year" I looked at this stranger with a blank stare.

Cute eyes, curly hair, pearly white teeth, tall, broad, huge, dimples...... Typical player, it was written all over his big forehead.

"Is there something on my face beautiful" he flexed his burly arms with a smirk.

"Honestly no, thanks for the offer but I'm good" I gave him a thumbs up.

"You'd rather stare around when you could walk with me, I'm Tyler Jones, I know you're a freshman but honestly I can help you if you help me" oh boy asides being an obvious player, he was a proud annoying brat, Jesus why me?

"Listen taylor swift, i honestly dont want to go with you, whether you can help me or not is very debatable, I'm very fine just watching the day go by with my back against this wall, thanks for your offer but I'll pass"

"Listen b***h, i rule this school and I'll ruin you, don't test me" his face was beet red as his true nature began to unfold, he looked too funny i couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny b***h"

"The fact that i was beautiful a while back but now im a b***h and then you think this is still high school, going around on your white horse pretending to be valuable, in case you didn't get the memo, we dont go to prom in college so hunny everything coming out of your mouth is bull, now please leave me alone" i said with a smirk now present on my face.

I thought he was going to explode right in front of me still my smirk didn't waver, I guess he was resulting down to violence cause he ran at me fists raised, i couldn't take him on so i braced myself for impact.

But it never came

I scrunched up my brows in confusion and anger, this boy was playing with me, feeding off my fear, with anger as my new courage, I opened my eyes and boy oh boy was i surprised.

Little player boy was on the floor nursing a bloody nose with cherry towering over him, what could this midget have done, immediately panic filled me, i rushed towards them while shielding her small form with mine.

I was scared to my bones but i wouldn't let them touch cherry, not while i was alive hehe I was about to die anyway.

Player boy scrambled to his feet, his eyes were staring right past me, it wasn't his eyes that made my skin crawl, it was the fear in them, i was going to pass out if any other person showed up.

"Mis-s c-herr-y, I did-n't see you the-re" he stuttered, his stance rigid, miss cherry?, Who?

"Tyler, you are really starting to piss me off, i give you everything but this one thing, my one rule, you just can't obey, you DARE TOUCH WHAT'S MINE" oh boy, i was trembling now, i didn't know this person in front of me, this wasn't my cherry, hers?.

"Miss cherry please understand, i didn't know, please forgive me" I've never seen a man cry but right now, right here i think i was about to witness history.

"Tyler, you know the rules" cherry said

"No no cherry please, I'll never do i-"

"Tsk tsk tsk, why should i forgive you?" Cherry said with her gaze trained solely on him, this was really beginning to irritate me.

"Cherry" I called out softly, her eyes met mine, a chill ran down my spine, i couldn't be having these thoughts right now but her eyes were really pretty, she had a knowing smirk on her face causing mine to heat up.

"Yes love" she said with her present smirk.

"Let him go cherry, he didn't mean it, I don't understand why he's kneeling here begging for mercy, you're just cherry berry, are you blackmailing him or something?" i asked, watching player boy shake in his boots.

"You can go Tyler, last chance, mine tyler, remember what's mine next time" cherry glared at him as she emphasized each word, mine? Oh he stole something from her, dumb player boy.

"Yes miss cherry" player boy said as he scurried away.

"Why does he call you miss cherry?" My brows were knitted in confusion as my eyes followed player boys hurried steps down the hall.

"He works for me" cherry said casually, i looked at her like she has three heads.

"Why would Taylor swift be working for you" i said as cherry laughed.

"Tyler and yes he does work for me, his father ran into a huge debt some years ago, i paid it in full, in exchange for Tyler over here, hes quite smart when hes not being a child"

I stared at her for a couple of seconds filtering her words through my head, debt?, Is this girl Kidding me?.

"No partner I'm not"

Shit did I say that out loud

"Yes you did" cherry giggled, "my full name is Brianna Cherry Malnov, i'm sure even a crazy person like you has heard of my family"

My eyes widened, NO FUDGING WAY, SHE DID NOT SAY MALNOV, I didn't know if i was having a mental breakdown but a Malnov was standing in front of me.

I thought i was going to pass out, my breaths were ragged as I stared at this human, i was going to have a happy panic attack right here.

"Hey hey hey, stay with me, focus on my voice" she held my face in her small palms and my heart beat accelerated, A MALNOV WAS TOUCHING ME, my heart went out of control, i was going to die, my heart was going to burst from the inside out.

Adieu world

She kept touching my face, her lips were moving but i couldn't hear anything above the ringing in my ears.

All of a sudden the world stopped, my raging heart even skipped a few beats, it took my brain a while to adjust to the present.

Soft lips

That was all i felt

Soft lips parted mine, I couldn't feel anything except her lips on mine, like a drug she reeled me in, like an addict I became addicted to everything about her, she kissed me like she was afraid to even hurt me.

She?

She?

On cue i froze, she was a she, God have mercy

Suddenly her kiss became the furthest thing from my mind.

She was a girl

I kissed a girl.

I was so shocked, my feelings became clearer, what i felt for her suddenly smacked me in the face, I'd never been this terrified in my life.

My life was ruined

How could this happen?

I couldn't even explain it to myself then how can i understand it?

"f**k i'm sorry, don't freak out please, you weren't calming down and i just had to, I didn't want to kiss you under these circumstances but i just ha-"

I jumped up interrupting her mid sentence

"Hey hey calm down" she reached out to take my hands but I jumped away from her.

I could see hurt mix up with the pretty blue eyes i've grown to love but all I wanted to do was flee

I picked my bag that had dropped during my panic attack, gently pushing cherry out of my path as I began to walk far far away from her.

"Kat please, do anything, just don't walk away, don't do this to me please"

I kept walking

"KAT PLEASE, DON'T GO"

I kept walking

Walking turned into jogging, jogging turned into a full blown marathon.

I just had to get away from her

Anywhere was safe as long as she wasn't there.

Anywhere wasn't safe without her there.

Anywhere wasn't safe for me anymore.
