I wake up to a cold spot next to my bed and my alarm blaring at me. I open my eyes and see that the other half of my bed is neatly made with a note laying on the pillow. I get up and go around to the other side of my bed and pick up the neatly folded letter.
I open it up and see a nice handwritten note with a couple of bills in it. They fall slowly down onto my bed but I ignore them and read the well written sentences on the paper.
Dear Ainslee, thank you so much for your hospitality last night. Promise me that you won't tell anyone about what happened. And about that kiss yesterday, I will never forget it and I will always be there for you and your family. Thank you so much for everything. 592Please respect copyright.PENANAGi9EwtrcUr
- Kaison :)
I fold the note back up and press it up to my heart for a few seconds until I am interrupted by a knock at my door. I open up a drawer and set the note inside, I close it quickly and go open my door to see who it is.
"Hey, sis are you ready for school yet?" I hear my little brother ask me. He takes a quick glance at me and realizes that I am still in my pajamas.
"I guess not. Can you be ready in five minutes we don't want to be late."
"Of course. I'll need down in a few minutes" I reply while shutting my door and going to my closet to see what I can find. I put on a pair of black skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and a light blue denim jacket to go with it. I slip on my high black converse shoes and put my hair up in a half bun. I put on some power, blush and some eye shadow and then head out. I grab my phone, back and my keys, then I head downstairs and grab a doughnut that was sitting on a plate in the kitchen.
"You guys ready to go or what?" I ask both of my siblings. They look at me in a strange way buy shrug it off and grab their stuff.
We head out to the car, get in and go to our destination, which is the place we like to call hell, aka high school. We arrive a few minutes earlier than usual and go our separate ways like usual. It's only Wednesday but alot has happened in one night. And I promised not to tell anyone, besides my friend Dominick.
I look around the hallway of the school and find him talking to his boyfriend, Luckas. Oh god, did I forget to mention that my best friend is bisexual? Well he is, he's attracted to both guys and girls. But mainly guys. Anyways, I meet up with the both of them and give each one a quick hug.
"Hey Ainslee, how are doing on this fine Wednesday?" Luckas asks me with an adorable smile on his face.
"I'm doing great actually. How about you guys?"592Please respect copyright.PENANAapBv0nO4NE
"We are doing great. Thanks" I hear Dominick say in a dissatisfied voice.
"Hey, um can I talk to you real quick alone? Do you mind if I can do that real quick Luc?' I ask him in a concerned but calm voice.
"Of course, I need to head to class anyways. See you guys after school" he says while waving and walking away until we're the last two people standing in the hallway.
"What was that about?" I ask Dom in a somewhat quiet and angry voice.
"Can we talk about what you told me last night?" He asks me, getting straight to the point.
"Wow, you got straight to the point" I say in a surprising voice while crossing my arms in a disappointed way.
"Well, isn't that what you want to talk about? Better make it quick, classes start in 10 minutes."
"Okay okay. But you better promise not to tell anyone. I swore it to him and you better swear to me to you won't say anything."
"Okay, okay, I promise. Please stop scaring me and just tell me. Okay?" he replies with a concerned and scared look spread across his face. I take a deep breath and then tell him everything about what happened last night.
"... And that is why I called you last night. So can he stay with you for a few days?" I say while finishing up the conversation of what happened last night.
Dom's expressions changed a little bit every few seconds. He went from angry to sad and back to angry again but then went an expression of relief when I told him that we made it back to my place safely. I didn't tell him about our little kiss, I briefly skipped that part. He doesn't need to know that. I did tell him that I told Kasion about my past. But I also didn't tell him about Kaison's past. He trusted me with that story and I promised not to tell anyone.
''Yeah, why not. But you have to swear that you owe me big time as well. You have to tell Luckas about this."
''Of, of course. I'll tell him after school or at lunch" I reply back before hearing the bell ring letting us know that classes start in 3 minutes.
"Well, see you at lunch. We'll talk more about this then, okay?" he asks me while picking up his backpack and heading to his class.
"Okay. See ya later" I reply and then head to my first class of the day, Anatomy.
Anatomy and three other classes go by quick and before I knew it, it was time for my favorite subject. Lunch. I rush down to the lunchroom, get my food and find a good spot to sit in, by the window. I wait for Dominick and Luckas to get here. If they don't show up within the next five minutes, they ain't gonna get the good kinds of food that's served here.
I wait and wait for them, and before I knew it, lunch was going to be over in a few minutes. "where are they" I think to myself. I get up, grab my backpack and empty lunch tray and throw the trash away. I set the tray down and right as I was turning around, I ran into one of the most dangerous people on school. Elijah Woods.
Everyone stops and stares at the disaster that has happened. I realized that there is a small stain on his shirt from the leftover pizza that I just ate. "Awh, shit" I think to myself. What have I just got myself into?
"Watch where your going bitch" I hear Elijah whisper under his breath to where I am the only one who can hear him.
"Excuse me?!" I say in a somewhat louder voice.
"You heard me, now get out of my way" he says in a deep and angry voice. God I hate this guy.
"No." I reply in a Stern voice. I am not going to let people walk all over me anymore. I'm tired of being called the nerd in this school.
"What did you just say?" he says looking up at me. I glance at him and look into his dark hickory eyes. He doesn't look happy, in fact he looks furious. He could kill someone with that look.
"You heard me. No" I say while crossing my arms across my chest putting him in his place.
Before I could say anything else he roughly grabs me by the arm and yanks me behind him til he tosses me into what I seem is a janitor closet. He shuts and locks it and then turns on the light. Which isn't that bright. I could only see him and his well-toned body and messy hair.
"What the hell?!" I exclaim while yanking my arm out of his grip and rubbing my arm gently.
"You should've just moved out of the way" he says in a lower tone to a point where I'm the only one who can hear him.
"Why? You were the one standing in my way. I was trying to go back to my seat. But no -" I start to ramble before I felt his hand press against my lips knocking me into the back wall of the Janitor's closet.
I clasp my hand onto his wrist but before I could do anything I lock my eyes onto his eyes. He still looks furious with me. He locks his eyes onto me and we stay like that for what seems like an eternity. He losens his grip on me and moves his hand away from my mouth. He doesn't move, he just stands there so close to me to the point where I can feel his breath.
My heart starts to beat fast at this very moment. I don't know what's going on, but, why am I getting these weird feelings? My face feels flushed, body feels hot and my stomach feels like it's in knots. Am I, actually enjoying this? I don't even know this person, I need to get out of here, I'm starting to feel a bit claustrophobic in here.
"Don't try to cross me again, do you even know who I am?" he says quietly while getting close to my ear whispering the next part that makes me shiver down my spine. "I can do things you won't even imagine." I cross my arm across my chest pretending that didn't get to me.
"Oh yeah, like what?" I ask with a blank look on my face starting into his eyes which are now only breaths away from me.
"Like this" he says while wrapping one of his arms around my waist and touches my spine with his fingers until he grabs the ends of my hair and yanks them gently making me look into his dark eyes again, he then uses his other hand and caress my cheek slowly. My cheeks start to flush a bright red at this point. He examines my face slowly until he lands onto my luscious pink lips. He gets really close to my lips til we're only inches away.
He then smirks and losens his grips on me, turns around and unlocks the door leaving me wanting more. "That's what happens when you cross me. Watch what you say to me next time, and I'd watch your back if I were you, Ainslee Grace" he says and then walks out of the closet disappearing into the sea of people.
"What the hell?" I think to myself. How does he know my name, especially my middle name. I only know his First and last name. Maybe I can ask Kaison or Dominick about him.
And what the actual hell? He was about to kiss me and left me wanting more. Why was I attracted to that and why was I enjoying it? I try to shake these thoughts out of my head, but I just can't. I grab my backpack that was roughly tossed to the side of the trash cans from Elijah, wrap it around my shoulder, turn off the light and leave the Janitor's closet, leaving me with a bunch of questions to figure out what has happened moments ago.
I couldn't focus through my next few classes, before I knew it, classes were over for the day. I walk up to my locker and see that Dominick is there, waiting for me. He definitely has some explaining to do.
I reach my locker, unlock it and put my books into their rightful place. "Where were you at lunch Dom?" I ask him while closing my locker and zipping up my back pack, then putting it back onto my shoulder once again.
"I was stuck at the library. I really hate these study groups. I tried to get out of it, I am so sorry Ains" Dom replies while giving me his guilty puppy dog eyes.
"Okay. You buy me lunch tomorrow and you're forgiven." I reply with a smirk across my face.
"Of course. The only way to apologise to you is through food." he says while rolling his eyes and letting out a small laugh.
"Hehe. Yep." I reply back with a little bit of a laugh in my voice. We walk towards the door until a random kid comes running up to us stopping in front of me, while trying to catch his breath.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask him.
"Is this your car?" he asks me showing a picture of my car, but with broken windows and words written on them. "I'd watch your back, we're watching you, always." I nod at the kid and run out to the parking lot towards my car. I see a bunch of kids surrounding it.
I push them out of the way and see the damage that has been done. I slowly fall down to my knees and start crying. I hear Dominick and Kaison trail behind me. Dom gets down next to me and helps me back up while Kaison yells at them.
"Get out of here, nothing to see, unless you want to explain what happened to the principal. Now leave!!" Everyone scrams away and it is now just us three surrounding my car.
"I'm calling the towing place that way we can get it in and fixed" I hear Dominick say while giving a gentle rub on my shoulders and walks a few away and calls a towing place. I turn around and see that Kasion is standing there with his hands in his hair. He is definitely furious. I would be too if I were him. But I'm not, I'm freaked out, scared and I definitely know who did this.
"I think I know who did this" I say to Kaison making him turn around, facing me with a worried look spread across his face.
"I-I think it was those two guys from last night. They saw my car. It has to be them" I continue saying to him. Kaison slowly removes his hands from his hair and gently grabs my arms pulling me in close and then wraps his arms around me.
"I believe your right. But let's find out. Just to make sure. Okay?" he whispers to me while staying in the hug. "I'm just glad that you're ok."
"Yeah, me too." I agree while breaking out of the hug. I take a few deep breathes and we go meet up with Dom, who is just now getting off the phone with the towing company. The towing people come in, I fill out a form so that they can take my car down to the place. We meet down at the place and wait for it to be fixed.
I told Noah and Kinsley to ride the bus home and that I will explain everything later. More like, I have to come up with a story that they will believe. After an hour or so, they replace the doors and the windows making the car look brand new. Like nothing has ever happened.
We explain that it was just a prank that the Seniors did to scare the Juniors. The towing people believe our story, I pay for the damages and I head into the car with Dom. Kaison leaves the drivers side open and looks at the both of us with a look of relief but with a look of anger on his face.
"We need to find out who did this, and make them pay" Kaison says while crossing his arms.
"I think it was the guys from last night. It would make sense. They saw me and know what my car look like. It has to be." I say explaining my opinion.
"I agree with Ainslee, Kaison. It would make sense. Nobody else is out to get her, except for them. Besides I highly doubt that someone from school would do this." Dominick explains while leaving me to think about that last thing he just said.
"Wait, what if it was? What if it was someone from school and those two guys? What if, a group did this because I saved you last night, as a warning."
"Who do you think it was that did it, from our school?" Kaison asks me. I take a deep breath, look at both Dom and Kaison and reply my answer that will forever change everything.
"...Elijah Woods."
