The Demon Next Door

The Ex From Hell

As soon as he started the bike I could feel the rumble causing my body to jump.. It's been years since i've been on one and i forgot how loud the roar was. He went speeding down the street as if there was no tomorrow and I subconsciously grab his waist to stay on my heart starts to pound with slight anxiety, we made it to school way sooner than we should have. When I got off the back of his bike I could tell everyone was staring at me. I mean have you ever seen a shy girl and a bad boy together? It's a weird sight. “Awe. look kitten everyone is staring at us!” and as soon as he said that I saw David, my ex. He was staring at me as if I had just killed his sister. He and I ended on a bad terms; with him trying to get in my pants. He walked over to us and I could feel the tension grow. “Hey! What are you doing with my girl?” David said in a aggressive tone. “I was just giving her a ride to school so she wouldn’t be late.” says the mysterious stranger. “Why don't you just leave her with me and you can go on your way.” said David. In that moment I swear everything went from normal to full on deadly. David could tell what he say just costed him. All I saw was David fly across the pavement and then look up at us with his hand over his cheek. I could tell that he had just been punched. I feel and arm wrap around my shoulder and lead me inside the building. “Sorry I hit him kitten. No one can talk to you like that and I will make sure of it.” Before I kept walking with this stranger I needed to know what his name was, and why he keeps calling me kitten. “Wait!” I say “Before we keep walking what is your name?” “Jayce” he says with a smirk. “Now if you want to keep asking questions we will never get to class. What class are you going to now cause if you forgot I still don't know where I'm going” he says. “Geometry” I say looking at the ground ‘cause he had a point. “Good kitten. Now let's go to class before you are late. I can tell you wouldn't like that” he says walking over to a class “Wrong way!” I say. He chuckles to himself as he waits for me to be in front to to avoid moments like those again.

Normally during lunch I sit with my best friend Mia but today she was busy with SCA work. As i'm sitting alone eating my lunch I see Jayce eating lunch with Anna. Anna is our schools typical high school b***h. She will try to steal your boyfriend from you just to sleep with him and dump him the next day. Jayce looks over at me to see me staring at them. I guess in his mind he thinks I'm jealous so he flirts back with her, and I have to admit I kind of am jealous. But of her. “Clare, what did I tell you about staring?” says Jayce with a huge smile on his face. I quickly turn my head away but I can hear him getting closer. “Clare can you look at me when I'm talking to you?” I look up blushing from what he said before. “Nice to know I make you blush.” Jayce says. “I'm not blushing because of you. I was thinking about a guy I like.” His entire mood changed and I could see a his knuckles turn white. I grab them just before he could do anything. “Are you sure you're not the jealous one?” I say to him. He relaxes his fingers and I look to see Anna looking at me with daggers in her eyes. Man if looks could kill.
