Protecting the Bad Boy

Who are you?

"Dylan?" Eric talked and I came back in this planet again.

"Yes?" I asked him as I turned my head to him. "What do you want now?" I sounded to harsh but hey! It"s not me the one who asked the other to have s*x with an asshole.

"You have to understand." He stopped talking and sighed. "You have to... stay close to him." He said the last words in a strange tone but I just decided to ignore it since seriously...I didn"t care too much. But still... my job has taught me to suspect about everything. So I was just going to figure it out later.

"Yeah whatever." I said and once again we didn"t talk.

Eric stopped the car in front of the school and I got out.

"Dylan?"

"What now?" I groaned annoyed.

"Act normal." Eric said half-smiling and drove away.

"Easy for you to say." I muttered and walked inside the school... when just like that I remembered that I punched the jerk and he might want to get revenge. Not that I was scared. Pfff! Nothing scares me. But how I was supposed to be friends with him when he probably wants to punch me to death?

Great!

Ladies and gentlemen!

An other day in hell.

***

"For a girl... you punch really good."

I rolled my eyes and turned around to face with a smirking jerk that was looking at me... I don"t know in what way.

"Thank you very much." I said and walked through the hall to my next class. But couldn"t help and smirk a little bit.

He wasn"t mad at me, so this was a good thing for my mission. That means that I didn"t screw up everything.

Thank you God!!!! (mentally throwing my arms in the air)

"So..." Rhydian started to say trying to start the conversation again. I couldn"t help seriously. My smirk just grew wider.

"So what?" I asked him not helping him at all, by acting so cold. But hey! This is who I am. Deal with it.

"I..." Oooh! The player is mumbling. This is so cute... not! Okay maybe a little bit.

"Why you aren"t mad at me?" I asked him out of the blue.

"For what?" He asked confused and I mentally slapped myself. Jerk and stupid. Yeah me!

"For punching you." I said in a "duh" tone and he stared at me for a while a smirk appearing in his lips.

"Well... let"s just say that I have my own reasons." He said and I rolled my eyes again.

"Fine don"t tell me." I said and entered the gym.

Remember when I said that I was in every single class Rhydian was? Well included P.E. too which meant I wasn"t going to do this class like every normal girl. I was going to do exercises and wrestling and pumps and what ever guys do in the gym... with the guys.

Hello there Life! I didn"t know that you were such a b***h!

Thank to God I wasn"t going to use the boy"s changing room too. So I walked toward the girl"s changing room and changed my clothes to some kind of blue shorts and a black T-shirt.

Great! Now how I"m supposed to cover my so awesome tattoo?

I looked around trying to figure it out something. But nothing. And when I say nothing, I mean it. Nothing came in my mind to help me.

The changing room too soon was empty and I was the only one left.

Okay! I had to show up. My job was to don"t leave the asshole never alone, and if you ask me, P.E. is the best class to hurt someone. So...

Think something you dumb.

"Need this?" Someone talked and I turned around to face once more with Rhydian who was holding a black long finger-less glove, playing with it. And as usually he was smirking. Do you have any idea how irritating is this?

I hesitated, not knowing how to answer. I needed that glove, but I didn"t want his help. So...

Wait a second.

"Where did you find that?" I asked him raising an eyebrow. "Don"t tell me that you like to wear women"s clothes." I smirked as he looked in my eyes amused. Why he was looking at me like that?

"No. In fact... a friend of mine has it and I borrowed it." Rhydian said and I stared at him.

"Why did you borrow that?"

"Because I might have seen your "small" tattoo yesterday?" He said in an innocent tone.

Innocent my ass.

"And I thought you might need it to hide the tattoo from the teacher."

"And why do you care?" I was confused. Why would he care if anyone sees or not my tattoo?

"I don"t. So you want it or not?"

After some seconds of having an inner fight which turned into a m******e, I finally rolled my eyes sighing and took the glove in my hands.

Rhydian smirked at me and walked towards the door to leave the changing room. "Nice shorts by the way."

I blushed at his comment and...

Wait what?

I blushed? I never blush. What the f**k Dylan?

I shook my head like I was going to shake away the blush from my face and walked out of the changing room as well.

All the girls that were in this class were gathering in small groups here and there ready to start a volleyball game, but I just kept walking toward the straight line the guys had formed and stood in the end of it.

I saw Rhydian pumping his head out of the line staring at me with a confused face but still he was smirking at me.

"Good morning ladies!" A tall all muscled man said, which I guess was the couch of this school. Today we have wrestling, so you have to pick up a partner..." The couch started to say walking in front of the line we had formed and when he arrived next to me froze and narrowed his eyes at me. "And who the hell are you young lady and what the hell are you doing here?"

"I"m D-Danielle Smith." I said biting my tongue as I almost said my real name.

"And what are you doing here?" The couch repeated himself.

"I"m, in your class?" I said in a half "duh" tone, saying it like I was talking with a kid.

The guys started to chuckle under their breath trying too much to don"t be heard.

"I don"t have girls in my class." The coach said and started to check some papers he had in his hands, frowning. "What is your name again?"

"Danielle Smith." I repeated and sighed annoyed.

"You are not in my list." The coach said and I took the papers in my hands.

"What? Hey!" The coach said in protest and tried to take the papers from my hand but I raised my hand to stop him. He froze in his place confused and shocked from what I just have done.

"Here!" I said showing the papers to the coach pointing my name on it. "Danielle Smith."

"What? That"s not possible." The coach said with wide open eyes.

"Don"t tell that to me, but to your papers." I said to him as he frowned at me.

"Fine. Let"s continue with the lesson. It"s not my fault if you get hurt young lady." The coach said to me with an annoyed face. He doesn"t like me. Pff! Like I care.

"So do you want to be my partner?" Rhydian said to me and I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You have seriously brain damages." I said to him smiling in a playful way.

"Why?" He asked smirking.

"Like a player you are, you don"t know how to act with a girl."

"Wanna bet about that?" He said and I stared at him for a while biting my lip and then I just gave in.

***

I was breathing heavily, but couldn"t help and smile. I didn"t have so much fun for ages.

"I think you lost the bet honey." Rhydian said to me, his face just inches away from me.

Yes.

He was on top of me.

But not in that way.

"No I didn"t." I protested.

"You know I can stay in this position till you admit it. " He said and I frowned. "You know I"m getting very comfortable here."

"Okay, okay just get off of me." I said and he smirked at me.

Well if you didn"t understand what happened a few moments ago let me explain it for you. We wrestled together but it wasn"t like two people looking like stupid, it was fun actually. It looked more like a cool fight in slow-motion, but in the end he won. How did that happen? I"m a CIA agent for f**k"s sake. For me it was like training with Daniel, but I never had so much fun with him. He usually likes to torture me by going all harsh on me. Dude clam down. I"m still learning. No need to go all Hulk on me.

Rhydian got off of me and helped me get up too.

It was the end of the period and I had History after this. But I just wasn"t feeling like doing it.

I walked in the changing room and took a fast shower. I didn"t want to smell like sweat during all the day. After I got dressed and all, I was ready for the next period. I took my bag and walked out of the gym.

I want to die! I whined as I was walking down the hallway.

"You looked cute in those shorts but the black dress is working for me too." Rhydian said next to my ear and I rolled my eyes. "By the way... Nice tattoo." He said and this time I blushed.

What? Again? Ugh!!!

I didn"t answered at him.

"What? You hate me again? I thought we had special moments back at the gym. You hurt my feelings." He said touching his chest with a fake-hurt face.

"Uh-uh!" I said and he stopped walking and then ran towards me again.

"I got an idea."

"That will be a first." I said to him and he glared at me but smirked again.

"Do you want to skip some classes?" He asked and I stopped immediately.

That... is the best thing I have ever heard since I arrived here. Seriously. The best thing. Those words were melody to my ears.

"I think I got you there." Rhydian smirked at me. I gave him a death glare. "What? Don"t tell me that you want to stay here and... learn." He said the last word like it was venom and he just wanted to spit it out.

"And what are you planing to do?" I asked him.

A smirk appeared in his face, but not like the usually smirk. It was like an evil smirk.

"Let"s say that it would be fun."

"Oh." I said with sarcasm and started to walk again.

"And dangerous."

I stopped once more. What? This is why I do this job. I think I explained to you that.

"And what makes you feel that I would come with you?" I asked him raising an eyebrow.

"Because firstly..." He said walking closer to me. Maybe more close that it was necessary. "You don"t want to go to that history class and we both know that for sure." He said and walked even more closer. Now our faces were inches away as he whispered the last words. "And you"re not like the other girls. You like a little bit danger in your life."

I stared at his green eyes for some seconds as he was smirking in a really weird way. I had to go after him. Eric told me that I had to be with him everywhere and that would be a chance for me to be friends with him, so Eric wouldn"t be such a pain in the ass by telling me that I"m screwing up the mission.

So...

"Okay." I answered simply and he smiled.

Wow! He actually smiled? I didn"t knew that he could smile.

Well... Nice to know.

***

"A simple question. How are you at running?"

"Hmmm... Fine thanks?" I answered confused.

"I mean can you run fast? Like really fast?" Rhydian asked again really serious.

We were hiding behind some bushes. An abounded warehouse was in front of us and Rhydian has been staring at one specific window for a couple of minutes. I was getting bored since he didn"t want to tell me what we were going to do, so I was practically taking a nap in the middle of the road.

"Yes." I answered.

"Okay then. We are going to act really fast and when I say run, you are going to run towards my car like your life depends on it. Okay?" Genius! I have done more dangerous things than this.

"What are we doing here?" I asked bored.

"Okay... Well... This warehouse belongs to a a guy, who once tried to play a prank on me." I stared at his eyes, but he was avoiding my gaze. I wasn"t really sure if he was saying the truth. "So we are going there and play a small prank to him."

"This is so childish." I said bored.

"Not the prank I"m going to play to him." And the evil smirk was once more in his face. Okay... If I wasn"t me, I would be scared.

"And what kind of prank?" I asked him wanting to know more about what was going t happen.

"We are going to destroy the warehouse."

"Wait, what?" I almost shouted.

He is a psychopath. Great! This couldn"t get better.

"The guy who owns it is..." He started to say, but I cut him off.

"What kind of prank did he played on you?" I asked.

"Hmm..." Rhydian started to scratch the back of his neck.

"Just say it." I exclaimed.

"He tried to kill me."

And that was an other shock to my poor head to bear.

And I passed in agent mode.

If this man tried to kill this jerk over here does this mean that he was from the russian mafia?

"And what are you planning to do?"

"Don"t worry. I will just set the fire to the warehouse. It is a crime without victims."

Why I didn"t want to do this thing, but still I had the feeling that I had to do this?

"Why the hell you wanted me to do this thing with you?" I wasn"t scared. Hell no. I just wanted to know why he wanted me to help him. For him I was just the new girl in his school that was kind of weird and maybe more strong that she should be. That"s all. He doesn"t have reasons to do this things with me.

"I don"t know. Maybe because I thought that you..." He stopped talking.

The door of the warehouse shut open and some guys walked out of it. They got in their cars and in three moments the warehouse was empty.

"Let"s go." Rhydian said and I rolled my eyes and ran right behind him.

We entered the warehouse which was more huge that looked from outside and in fact it wasn"t that bad from inside.

I saw Rhydian walking toward a wooden desk and started to search for something. "Set the fire to the furniture." He ordered me and I nodded and did what he said.

Okay I know that there is something weird going on but I knew, no... I felt that this was the right thing to do.

I started the fire and soon the whole building was in flames. "We have to get out now Rhydian." I shouted to him.

I saw him taking something from the desk. Something that looked like some folders and put them inside his shirt and we both ran out of the warehouse.

"Don"t stop. Get inside the car." He shouted to me and as soon as we were in the car he drove down the road with full speed.

***

I stared at the white ceiling for some minutes and then closed my eyes repeating what happened today all over again in my mind.

There was something strange going on.

There was definitely something strange going on.
