I’m in the dark
1252 Words
We were down to the last period of the day and I was so exhausted it made no sense.
Lunch was horrible, I'm hungry yet here I am, Sitting in English and desperately waiting for this day to be over. I sighed and flipped my page as they read along. I wonder what there was to eat at home. I could make tacos. Or I could buy tacos. Wow, I was just so smart, it was impeccable.
" Alright Heathens, That was the last chapter for today. Finish reading the next chapter and answer chapter questions 1-4 on side A" everyone's moaning made him a shoot an icy glare.
" And B" everyone instantly became quiet, just wow. I'm calling abuse of power. I rolled my eyes and gathered my things. I got up and rushed out before he said C. I walked out waving bye to the very few friends I had in this class. I rounded the corner with every intention on making it to the car before he could whistle not paying attention like always. I felt my face smack harshly against a warmer cushion. My legs weren't ready and thus and I was instantly back on the floor. Trying to use my hands to soften the fall was miserable, I'm too slow. f**k I was seriously annoyed at this point.
Groaning , I stayed there for a while wondering, maybe? This was my true home, this right here. The floor. Maybe, God, just one break? At this point. It can't be my fault anymore.
" Son of a.. Come on man, I'm on my third time today, I can't take this anymore " I cried out trying to catch a breath as the pain soared up my back once again, getting up; I rubbed my backside while also trying to stretch out any broken ligaments. I'm serious, I was facing serious violence at this point.
His chuckle sent a chill down my spine and I instantly stood up straight realizing who I'd run into again by tragic fate just by that voice which vibrated my entire being. I sighed internally. Broad shoulders blocked the light peeking through the windows above us, the glow behind him as he towered over me was ridiculous, what was this?
"What?" I muttered, trying to avoid eye contact while brushing myself off; his were trained on me before he smirked.
" I would have helped you like before but I wasn't thanked plus I'm not feeling charitable, just watch where you're going, can you do that?." His voice was low yet sharp almost demanding. It sounded like he just got up. It's not like I've been running into him on purpose. I gaped in disbelief. He couldn't possibly think I was doing this on purpose?
I rolled my eyes, then stopped and squinted. A small purple love mark on his collar bone, bright and bruised. Yet it wasn't there before.
I frowned, raising a brow. He eyed me curiously obviously not buying my bravado. I glared at him.
"It's not my fault, ok? get over yourself, you can let me fall. " I spat sharply. What the f**k was this guys problem anyway? One minute he's trying to be acquainted and the next it was the complete opposite. I turned around and tried to walk away when his hand grabbed mine and stopped me. A unfamiliar feeling overwhelmed me, crowding my mind. I scowled; snatching my arm back.
"Woah! slow down, how are you more upset?" He questioned, his voice mildly annoyed.
"As I see it, you keep bumping into me." His tone mocking my own tone from before yet deeper, every word annunciated due to his accent. My body felt oddly warm, I rubbed the now vacant hand he held.
"It isn't on purpose" I muttered, rolling my eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something else and I glared even harder.
" Look I'm not sure what you have going on but -
He cut me off stepping closer, I briefly took a second to look around only to notice we were completely alone in the school corridors.
When did everyone pass us to leave? My grip on reality is sad man. Why didn't I notice the halls emptying so quick? A light down the hall flickered before completely going off and my heart fell to my ass. Uh... it's okay, if he wanted to fight we could fight. I know I would lose but I wanted to get this over with. I didn't get the game he was playing at anymore.
"Tst..tst" he sucked his teeth. "Mhm, I wouldn't go around just talking so freely." He said lowly looking at me dead in my eyes with little to no expression.
Ok.. slightly uncomfortable.. I took a step back. My heart began to race menacingly, I was alone, to say I was scared was an understatement. What's about to happen to me? He smiled, showing me a little of his teeth. But for some reason I didn't trust his smile in the slightest, I took another step back.
"And If I do?" I snickered sarcastically despite the fear bubbling in my throat. I was set on standing my ground, I watched as his eyes widened, tinged with excitement and this was my cue to scram, nervously I watched him take yet another step towards me,
"Back up." I muttered loud enough for him to hear but not loud enough to entice anybody. Even I, didn't truly believe my own words.
" And If I don't?." he mused , mockingly. A playful glint in his eyes. I laughed dryly never breaking eye contact for the sheer fear of even looking away for a mere second. finding it hard to see any humor in this conversation. His eyes dropped down to my chest and he tilted his head ever so slightly, his eyes draping down the rest of my body shamelessly, his gaze torturously slow. I felt my entire body erupt in a fervent heat. My legs felt like they would collapse beneath me at any moment.
"Mhm? " his voice trailed off curiously, tone low, indecent even. My eyes widened in surprise and I blushed, looking away. Are you kidding me? he didn't even bother to hide it. Just as I was about to say something Anise came and threw her arm around me. Thank God! I've been saved! What was she still doing around?
" Lucas, I see you've met my friend, this is Grayson " My eyes widened in shock. I looked at her and she opened her mouth as an "O" wondering what she did. Why did she just tell this guy my damn government name?
" Hi, Grayson," He whistled. I didn't like how he said my name, I didn't like the look in his eyes as he said it. I felt like all my breath was taken from me when he turned his eyes back from Anise to train on me, I looked away quickly.
"Let's go" I grabbed her and bolted before he could say anything else and soon we were out the main doors and into the student parking lot, I let out an exasperated sigh.
Free at last.
