《The bad boy saved me (Kayla and Carson)》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The Monster Living With Me Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The Monster Living With Me I was terrified all the time. I couldn''t go on like this. I was even afraid of my own shadow. I heard a noise downstairs and I knew An was home. He was probably searching the cabs for his stash of alcohol. He was more violent when he was drunk. I heard my stomach grumbled again. I was really hungry, but I couldn''t go downstairs, because he would see me and find a reason to hit me. I really don''t know why my mother had married him. What had she seen in him? I don''t know why I ask that question, because I already knew the answer. He was rich and my mother needed the money. Dad died when I was ten and we started to have money issues. My mother had to do something in order for us to get by, so a yearter she married An. She didn''t love him and I knew he didn''t love her either. Thinking about my mother, I touched the locket that was around my neck. My mother had given it to me when I was twelve. That was when she was healthy. Two yearster, she became sick with lung cancer. An didn''t even care. He didn''t try his best to take care of her and pay for her medications. She died a yearter when I was fifteen. I opened the locket and looked at the picture inside. It was a photograph of my mother and I. We were both smiling widely at the camera. I was really happy that day. I sighed. I really miss you, Mom. I knew you would never allow this to happen. I closed the locket and went toy on my bed. I was really thankful that tomorrow was the first day of senior year, so I don''t have to be home all the time with him anymore. I remember clearly the first time he hit me. It was six months after my mom had died. ** shback ** I had just finished my homework and I went downstairs to make myself a sandwich. As soon as I stepped in the kitchen, An, my stepfather, was leaning on the counter, a bottle of whiskey in his right hand. I didn''t say anything because he was like this most days. He didn''t even talk to me anymore. I went over to the fridge to retrieve the cheese, tomato and mayonnaise. "Ka," I heard An called. I closed the fridge and turned around to face him. I waited for him to speak. "Didn''t you hear me calling you?" He asked. "No. I was in my room doing homework." I replied. "When I call you a next time, I want you to answer me." He said, stepping closer to me. I scrunched up my nose from the stench of alcohol on his breath. "Okay, but I really didn''t hear you." I said, confused about his behaviour. It happened so fast and took me by surprise, but the next thing I know is that I was holding my cheek. He had hit me and it hurt Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. like hell. "Do you hear me?!" He roared. I looked at him in surprise. Man, he must really be drunk. I would never thought he would hit me. He had never before. "Yes." I said quietly. "Good. Now, I''m out of whiskey. I want you to go to the store and get me some." He said, mming the empty bottle on the counter. ** End Of shback ** It had been two years since that happened. Two years since my life hasn''t been the same. Two years since my life was normal. I had thought that he had hit me because he was drunk and that it would be thest time. I couldn''t have been more wrong. He continued to hit me for every single thing and then it got worse. He had be a monster. I really can''t take it anymore. I can''t wait until I''m eighteen so I can get the hell out of here. He hitting me that day was the first, but not thest. It was just the beginning. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 First Day Of School Chapter 2 Chapter 2 First Day Of School Chapter 2 Chapter 2 First Day Of School I got up early the following morning and quickly got ready for school. As usual, I put on a lot of foundation and concealer to hide the bruises. I took up my bag and the house key and went downstairs. My stepfather was sprawled out on the couch, an empty bottle of beer hanging loosely in his hand. He was fast asleep and snoring loudly. I tiptoed through the living room and head to the front door. I was really hungry, but I didn''t want to risk him waking up if I cook breakfast. I opened the door quickly and ran down the porch steps and began my journey to school. Since I got ready early, I reached school with a lot of time to spare. I walked passed the parking lot where a lot of students were gathered and went into the school building. I then head down the hall to my locker. "Ka!" I heard my name being screamed. I knew exactly who it was immediately. I turned around with a wide grin on my face. "Jazzy!" I greeted one of my best friends; Jasmine Thomas. She finally reached me and flung her arms around me. "Girl, I missed you so much!" She eximed, squeezing me tight. "I missed you too." I replied, then pulled away. "How was Thand?" I asked. "It was great. I can''t believe summer''s over." She said. "Yeah, me too." I sighed. "Hey, have you seen Kevin or Lucas yet?" She asked. "No," I replied. Kevin Harris and Lucas Martin were my other best friends. It has always been the four of us since middle school. "Hey, hey, hey. Look who''s here." I heard a familiar voice behind me. Jasmine and I turned around to see Kevin strutting towards us. "Speak of the devil and he appears." Jasmine teased, grinning widely. "Kevin!" I said, an automatic smile forming on my face. I really missed him, even though we did see each other a couple of times during the summer. "How are my two favourite girls?" He asked, hugging me and then Jasmine. The three of us then After we got our books, we stood in the hallway and continued talking. ss was not going to start for the next five minutes. I then looked down the corridor to see Lucasing towards us. "Lucas!" I greeted when he neared us. I then looked at him and frowned. "What the hell happened to your hair?" Lucas smirked and ran his hands through his new hairstyle. His ck hair wasb over to one side. Much like how Justin Bieber used to wear his hair. "I wanted a change. Pretty cool, huh?" "Dude, you look ridiculous." Kevin stated. "You''re just jealous that I''m going to get all the girls now. I mean, no one will be able to resist this look." He said smugly. Jasmine and Iughed. Lucas looked at us. "What''s so funny?" He crossed his arms. "Keep telling yourself that buddy." I patted his cheek teasingly. Okay, I was joking because any girl would want him, with or without the new hairstyle. He also knew how to charm thedies. Kevin as well. After all, they were both handsome, intelligent and funny. However, Kevin was more of the flirtatious one. "Whatever, you know it''s the truth." He replied. Suddenly, the shrill of the warning bell cut off any more conversations. We began to walk to our homeroom that we were in together. We went to the back of the ss and sat down. Kevin and Lucas sat beside each other, while Jasmine and I sat in front of them. The teacher was not here as yet, so I got up from my seat and went to sit on Kevin''sp, so we can continue to talk until the teacheres. Jasmine copied my actions and sat in Lucas''p. "What did you do for your summer vacation, Lucas?" Jasmine asked. "Parties and going to the beach mainly." He responded. "Yes. Lucas and I partied hard and picked up honeys at the beach." Kevin added, giving Lucas a high five. "We invited Ka a couple of times though, but she only came once." He added, holding up one finger. "I was preupied most of the time." I defended. I didn''t want to tell them the real reason I couldn''t make it. It was hard to get out of the house during the summer, because of An. I would lock up in my room mostly. But I couldn''t tell them that because my friends did not know what my home life was like. I was afraid to tell them. "I wish I was here." Jasmine said. Just then our teacher, Ms. Baker walked into the ssroom and Jasmine and I sprang up from the boys''p and went to our seat quickly. Thank God we made it in time, before our teacher looked around and saw us. Ms. Baker greeted us and then began with roll call. ****** "All of the trigonometric functions of an angle can be constructed geometrically in term of a unit circle centered at O." Mr. Malcolm, my maths teacher was saying, while I tried to keep my eyes open. I don''t normally sleep in ss but, right now I wanted to sleep for two reasons. One, I could not sleepst night, because An was up all night, so I waited until he went to bed, which was reallyte. Two, I really, really hate trigonometry. "The trigonometric functions are most simply defined using the unit circle. Let be an angle measured counterclockwise from the x - axis along an arc of the circle...." Mr. Malcolm continued. I rest my head on my hands and soon I didn''t hear anything else as his voice trailed off. "Ka." I heard my name being called after a while, but I was too tired to lift my head. "Ka!" I heard again and I groaned. Just five more minutes, please. "Miss. Green!" The person shouted and I shot up quickly, looking at a very frustrated and angry Mr. Malcolm. The studentsughed in amusement. "Miss. Green, can you please solve this trigonometric problem?" Mr. Malcolm asked, crossing his arms. N?velDrama.Org content. I shifted my eyes from him and squinted at the board to the problem he pointed on. Solve sin x +2=3 for 0¡ã< x <360¡ã. Uh? Why is that equation so long? And is trigonometry really important in life? God, I really hate trigonometry! Mr. Malcolm gave me an angry look. The look he gave me with his beady little eyes could kill. He began to tap his foot, waiting impatiently for my response. "Um...six?" I said the first number that came into my mind. Mr. Malcolm shook his head and went over to his desk. I knew exactly what wasing next. He was the hardest teacher there is. He doesn''t let anything slide. With a detention slip in hand, Mr. Malcolm turned back to me. "Pleasee for your detention slip, Ka." I got up from my seat and approached him. It didn''t make any sense to argue because he would just give me another one. That was who he is. "Next time, please refrain from sleeping in my ss. It''s disrespectful." He added in a hard tone. I took the slip from him, rolling my eyes at hisment. I made sure he didn''t see me, because he would definitely give me another one for doing that as well. I sighed. Great. In all my seventeen years of living, I have never ever went to the detention room. Not only was it my first detention, but it was also on the first day of school. Previous Next Chapter Chapter 3 Chapter 3 First Detention Chapter 3 Chapter 3 First Detention Chapter 3 Chapter 3 First Detention Warning: Abusive content! ****** At the end of the day, I was putting my books in my locker, when Jasmine walked up to me. "Hey, ready to go?" She asks. "I have detention, remember?" I reminded her as I closed my locker. "Oh yeah. That sucks." She replied, pulling a sad face. "You have no idea." I sighed. "Okay then, I''ll see you tomorrow." She said as she walked away. "Tomorrow." I said, waving goodbye. I then walked in the direction of the detention room. I still couldn''t believe that I got detention. I really hope this one small mark on my permanent record won''t affect my chances of getting into medical school. I reached the door that has ''Detention Room'' written on it and pulled it open. I noted that only one person was in the room. A boy, who was busy tapping away on his phone. I entered and went to the desk to give my detention slip to the detention supervisor. I then turned around to walk to my seat and almost run into someone who had just entered the room behind me. "Watch it!" The person growled out and I looked around to see Carson Knight. Carson was the school''s bad boy. He and his group of friends were always in some trouble. Let''s Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. just say he did not care for rules. I was not surprised to see him here. I looked around to see if his friends were also here, but it was only him. Normally, it was the four of them who got into trouble. After all, they were always creating havoc together. Right now his hands were bandaged up and he had cuts and bruises on his face. He was probably in another fight. No surprise there. "You should also look where you are going." I snapped. He stopped in his tracks and turned to face me. "What did you just say to me?" "You heard me." I said simply. He scrutinized me for a few seconds, before he smirked. "You sure do have a lot of confidence, little nerd." He said. I scoffed. "I''m not a nerd." He lifted his eyebrows. "Whatever you say, nerd." "Douche bag." I replied, crossing my arms. "Enough!" The teacher at the desk in front of us snapped. "Please take a seat. Both of you." He said, pointing his finger in front of him. He looked weary and his eyes were bloodshot. I gave Carson onest re, before I walked away and took a seat at the back, near the window. Carson sat on the other side of the ssroom. I looked at the front and saw that the teacher had his head on the desk. He was probably sleeping, so I took out my earphones, plugged it into my phone and began to listen to some music. Maybe if I didn''t pay attention to the time, it would run off quickly. Ten minutester, I was still listening to music with my head on the desk. Suddenly, I felt something bounced off my shoulders. I looked around to see a crumpled up paper on the floor. I looked over to where the boy who I had seen when I just entered the room was. He sat in his seat sleeping. His head was falling back and his mouth was wide open. I then looked around at Carson. He waved at me and tried to look innocent. An evil smirk was ying on his lips. I narrowed my eyes at him, before I took up the paper and threw it back at him. It hit his arm and bounced to the floor. I smiled in victory. He shook his head and pointed to the boy, as if to say it was him who had thrown the paper. I rolled my eyes. As if he was able to throw a paper ball at me. The poor boy was busy drowning in his own drool. For the rest of the detention period, Carson did not say anything or bothered me again. I was really d for that. He had his feet propped up on the desk, texting on his phone. The hour flew by fast and finally detention was up. I shot up from my seat quickly and left the room. Finally, I could go home. Not that I''m looking forward to it. ****** After twenty minutes of walking, I was finally at my house. I looked at the house that I lived in for six years; ever since my mother married that monster. This ce was definitely not home anymore. I looked at the dying flowers that were nted near thewn. They hadn''t been watered or tended to since my mom passed. She loved flowers and was the only one who took care of them. Now, they were shivered up and dark looking. I didn''t know if An was home. The garage door was closed, so I didn''t know if his car was there or not. I took a deep breath and walked up to the front door. I opened it with my keys and pushed it open slowly. It made a creaking noise and I groaned. I hope the noise didn''t wake him up. That is, if he was sleeping. I sighed in relief when I saw that the living room was vacant. I closed the door quietly and walked briskly towards the stairs. I don''t want to take any chances if he was home. However, as soon as I reached the foot of the stairs, I heard a sound behind me. I turned around to see An standing at the entrance to the kitchen. "Where are youing from?" He demanded. "School." I answered. He narrowed his eyes at me. "School ended an hour and a half ago. Where have you been?!" He shouted, moving closer to me. I took a step back. I didn''t answer. I was trying to calcte in my head how fast I could run up the stairs. Maybe if I took them two at a time, I could make it, I thought to myself. As soon as that idea came to my mind, I brushed it off. Who was I kidding? With my clumsy self, I probably wouldn''t make it up the first two steps. Before I could think about anything else, An reached where I was and stood in front of me. His big and muscr frame looming dangerously over me. He raised his hand and I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes. Secondster, I felt the all too familiar sting to my cheek. I looked down at the floor and clenched my jaw, trying to ignore the pain. He grab my hair roughly, forcing me to look at him. I whimpered in pain, because of how tight he grabbed my hair. He then mmed me against the wall on the right. I hit my head hard, before I fell to the floor, hitting my head again. My head began to throb with pain and my vision became spotty. I tried to regain consciousness. I began to scramble to my feet, when he kicked me to the floor again. He then began to continuously kick me. In my stomach, hip, leg and my back. I closed my eyes tightly to prevent the tears from falling. Finally, he stopped kicking me. "Now go to your room!" He gruffly said as he walked away, heading back to the kitchen. I got up off the floor weakly and quickly limped to my room. My body was in a lot of pain, but I ignored it. I couldn''t risk him changing his mind anding back for me. As soon as I reached my room, I went inside and closed the door behind me with the lock. I run to my bed and finally let the tears flow. I hugged my pillow close and cried. I didn''t know how much more of this I could take. I didn''t know how long I cried for, but the next thing I know, I fell asleep, hearing the sounds of my own hups. Previous Next Chapter Chapter 4 Playing Dodgeball Chapter 4 ying Dodgeball Chapter 4 Chapter 4 ying Dodgeball The next day, I woke up with a pounding headache. I stretched my sore limbs and went to take a shower. I turned the water to hot and went into the shower. I stood under the spray for five minutes, before I start tother myself with soap. When I was done, I stepped from the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I then went into my room to get ready. I got dressed quickly into jeans and a baby blue sweater. As I put on my sweater, I cringed at the ck and blue marks on my stomach. The old ones beside it was starting to look dark and ugly. I then went over to my dresser tob my hair. I run my hands through my brown hair and noticed that a big chunk was torn out from when An grabbed it yesterday. I caught my hair into a high ponytail in order to hide it. When I was done, I began to apply makeup. I applied a lot of foundation and powder on my cheeks to hide the marks that had now turned a darkish blue colour. Thankfully, when I was done, it wasn''t showing. I had gotten so used to hiding the cuts, bruises and scars, that I had be a pro. Within fifteen minutes, I was ready for school. I heard An downstairs in the living room, so I sat on my bed and waited. He should be leaving for work soon. Well, I hope so because I didn''t want to bete for school. I sat on my bed for ten minutes, when I heard the screeching of tires outside. I looked out of my window to see An''s car speeding away. Yes! I thought to myself. I grabbed my school bag from off my bed and left my room. I ran down the stairs and left the house. ****** It was the second tost ss of the day and I was in the gym locker room changing into my P. E uniform; which consisted of a red and ck T-shirt and red shorts. When I was finished, I slipped on my white sneakers. I then went out into the gym to join the rest of my ssmates. After a while, I saw Lucas. He walked up to stand beside me. He was in my P. E ss. Our P. E teacher, Ms. Levy, finally walked up to us. "Okay ss, Mr. Dunham''s ss will be joining us today. We are going to y a game of dodgeball. My ss will go against Mr. Dunham''s ss." Everyone started to chatter in excitement. Ms. Levy p her hands. "Alright, everyone do fourps on the court until Mr. Dunham''s ss get here." N?velDrama.Org content. As usual everyone grumble in protest. Mostly the stuck up girls, who doesn''t like to get sweaty. They were lucky we were only doing fourps. Normally, we do six to tenps. Ms. Levy blew her whistle to indicate that we should start and stop theining. "Well, see you on the ying field." Lucas said to me as he take off running. I started to run as well with the rest of the ss at a slower pace. I didn''t want to use up all my energy. Although, I was used to this. Come on, I walk two miles to and from school every day. After a while, Mr. Dunham''s ss joined us and everyone finish up with theirps. We all gathered together and Mr. Dunham and Ms. Levy went over the rules of the game. I looked over to where Mr. Dunham''s ss stood and my eyesnded on Carson. He looked back at me and smirked. I shook my head and turn back to face the front. I didn''t even remember that he is in Mr. Dunham''s ss. asionally, Ms. Levy and Mr. Dunham would join sses, so I''vee to know the students in Mr. Dunham''s ss. I think I''ve only seen him twice though, because he''d skip most of the time. Ms. Levy and Mr. Dunham aligned the balls on the center line in the gym and then stepped back. My ss stood on one side and Mr. Dunham''s ss stood on the next side. Ms. Levy ced her whistle into her mouth and blow it. As soon as the whistle sounded everyone run for a ball. I run for a ball as well, keeping a keen eye on my opponents. There were a lot of balls thrown at me, but luckily, I dodged all of them. I then directed my ball towards a girl and throw it. The ball hit the girl on her leg. The girl gave me a re as she trudged towards the benches. I lifted my hand and waved at her, grinning widely. The game continued until only a few of us were left. On my team, there were three of us; Lucas, another boy and I. On the opposing team, there were four people; Carson, two girls and another boy. One of the girls was on the track team. Our ssmates who had been eliminated was cheering us on from the benches. I grab for another ball and directed my attention to Carson. Carson, however, was paying attention to the boy on my team, who had just thrown a ball towards him. He dodged it skillfully. Taking my chance at his distraction, I threw my ball at him. By the time Carson saw the ball, it was toote. The ball hit him on his cheek. Carson looked in my direction, shooting me a re. He began to rub his cheeks sorely as he walked off the court. The students from my ss cheered loudly. "Nice shot, little K." Lucas cheered me, calling me by the nickname he has always used for me. He then gave me a high five. I smiled at him quickly before turning my attention back to the game. As the game progressed, Lucas was out as well as the other boy, leaving only me from my team. On Mr. Dunham''s team, the two girls were out, leaving only the boy. The boy threw a lot balls at me, but I dodged them. I also threw a lot of balls at him and he dodged them. The game was getting difficult, because it was only the two of us. We both were always watching each other, so we always knew when the ball wasing. My ssmates were cheering me one loudly and his ssmates were also cheering him on. An idea popped into my head and I smiled to myself. I began to feign like I''m throwing the ball at him, while he watched me and the ball like a hawk. I finally brought the ball above my head and set like I was about to throw it. However, before the ball left my hands, I brought my hands down and directed the ball for his foot. When he had thought the ball wasing for his upper body, he had ducked down. By the time he realized that I had changed position, he jumped into the air. However, he was toote, the ball hit him on his foot. When my ssmates realized that we had won, they shouted loudly and began cheering. I jumped up in joy as well. To be honest, this was the first time I''ve ever yed dodgeball and was thest one standing. Normally, I would''ve been out by the middle of the game. I guess I was getting better at this game or it just pure luck. "Good game, Ka." Ms. Levy praised. Students from my ss came up after that and congratte me. "Alright, everyone hit the showers and head to your next ss." She shouted and everyone left the gym. As I was leaving the gym, I felt eyes on me and I turn around to see Carson looking at me. I waved at him and he just turned away and walked out of the gym. Way to be a sore loser, I thought to myself as I left the gym also and head for the showers in the girl''s locker room. As soon as I finish showing, I put on my clothes in the shower like I always do. I do this because I don''t want anyone to see the cuts and bruises on my skin and start asking questions. No one really questions why I do that though. They just thought that I was self-conscious of my body or something. When I was done, I put my P. E clothes in my gym bag, put it in my locker and went to myst ss. Previous Next Chapter Chapter 5 What Have I Done? Chapter 5 What Have I Done? Chapter 5 Chapter 5 What Have I Done? The following day at lunch time, my friends and I sat down at our table for lunch. We were busy joking around and talking about random things, when I looked up at the entrance to the cafeteria. Entering into the cafeteria, sporting all the confidence of the world was Carson and his three friends. There were Michael Evans and the twins; Jayden and Jordan Moore. They walked passed our table and Carson''s eye caught mine. I look away quickly. They walked to their table and sat down. "What''s up with you?" Jasmine asked when she realized that I had gone quiet. "Nothing. I was just trying to avoid Carson." I replied. "Carson Knight?" She asked and I nodded. "Why? Are you into him?" "What? No!" I said shaking my head quickly. Jasmineugh. "I was just asking. After all, he is hot." She said. I looked over to the table that Carson sat talking loudly with his friends. I have to admit, Jasmine is right. He is hot. I''ve always noticed his arrogance before, but if you really look at him, he was good looking. I see why girls would always chase him now. Not that I agree with their actions. They did not care that the boys were going to dump them within a day or week, they just wanted a chance to be with the hottest boys in school. How pathetic! After lunch Jasmine and I head to our AP Biology ss. When we entered the ss, most students were already there, so our usual seat in the middle of the ssroom was taken. I spotted two seats near the back of the ssroom and Jasmine and I went there to sit down. The teacher was not here as yet, so I was busy talking to Jasmine, when Carson and his friends walked in. I didn''t even remember that they were in my ss. I was even surprised that they were in AP biology. They didn''t seem like the type to get good grades. I know I was being judgemental, but I couldn''t help it. Thankfully, Carson didn''t seem to notice me as he was caught up in a conversation with his friends. I turned back in front of me as he and his friends sit behind us. The teacher came after that and started her lesson. During the middle of the lesson, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. When I turned around, I saw that it was one of the twin. I looked closely at him for a second and noticed that it was Jayden. I raised my eyebrow at him as he grinned at me. "What is it?" I asked. "Is it true that you knocked out my pal here with a ball?" He asked, his finger pointing in the direction of Carson, who was ring at him. "As I told you before, she didn''t knock me out." Carson cut in, but Jayden ignored him. He looked at me awaiting my response. I looked around at the teacher, who had his back turned to us writing something on the ckboard, before facing Jayden again. "Leave me alone and don''t get me in trouble." I hissed in a whisper. "Ooh, she''s a feisty one." Jordan said from his seat and all the boysughed at hisment. I rolled my eyes at their behaviour. "I don''t have time for your games." I said and turned back around in my seat. Jasmine raised her eyebrows at me, as if to ask ''what was that about?''. I mouthed ''I''ll tell you about itter'' and she nodded and went back to her work. Ignoring the bickering and snickers behind me, I went back to my work as well. They were used to disrupting sses and getting detention almost everyday. As for me, I hope I don''t see another detention room for the rest of my school year. ****** At the end of the day, I was at my locker, when Kevin and Lucas walked up to me. "Hey Ka," Kevin said. "Lucas and I are going over to my house to hang out. Want to join us? We can order pizza." I gave them an apologetic smile. "I''m sorry guys, I can''t. I have a ton of homework." "Well, suit yourself. Just know that we were nning on having a horror movie marathon." Lucas added. He said this because he knew how much I loved horror movies. "I''m really sorry guys." I said pouting. I wish I could go, but my stepfather wasing home from work early. I wanted to get home before he did. I didn''t want another confrontation; if you can call what happened yesterday a confrontation. "Nah, it''s okay. You gotta do what you gotta do." Kevin said, before adding "Hey where''s Jasmine?" "She was here earlier, but she left early. She said she has a hot date." I rted what Jasmine told me. I wasn''t surprised when Jasmine told me about her date. She was always going on dates with guys. She was on a desperate hunt for ''Mr. Right'', as she puts it. "Another one?" Lucas asked, lifting his eyebrows knowingly. "Yep. She said that this one was definitely the one." I ryed. "That''s what she said about the others." Kevin put in. I just shrugged. That''s exactly what I told her when she told me, but she said that this time she was sure of it. I really hope so. "Do you want us to walk you home?" Kevin asked. I shake my head. "No, that won''t be necessary." I said quickly. I didn''t want them to walk me home, in case An showed up early and made a scene in front of them. I definitely didn''t want that. "Okay, see you tomorrow." Lucas said to me and he and Kevin wave goodbye and walk off. I finished at my locker and step away. Not looking where I was going, I bump into someone. I almost lost my footing, when the person grabbed my elbow to steady me. After I was bnced on my feet again, I looked up to see that it was Carson. He was standing very close to me, so I step back a little. His white shirt that he had on clung to his chest. His body was muscly and defined. I could see that he worked out. "I''m sorry." I said and began to walk around him, but he block my way. "Get out of my way, please." I said, trying to remain patient. "This is the second time you have run into me. I think it''s bing a habit, Kitten." He stated. That stupid smirk of his nted on his lips. Kitten? What the hell? "My name is Ka and I would prefer you call me that." I stated annoyed. "Nah, I prefer Kitten. It fits you, because you are cute like a kitten." He said, obviously teasing me. Trying to push down the blush that was threatening to appear, I pointed a finger at him and said. "Nice try mister, but ttery won''t work on me." "Aww, that''s too bad." He replied, faking hurt. "Move Carson, I have to get home." I said pushing at his shoulder, but he was build like a rock. Heughed. "Why don''t you try and move me." "I''m not afraid of you." I replied, lifting my chin defiantly. Of course I was lying. With his muscles and strength, he could do serious harm to me without effort. Unconsciously, I looked up at his face. The previous cuts and bruises that he had on his face were fading away. However, he had a red mark on his jaw made by the ball when it hit him yesterday in gym ss. It was still fresh. The red mark was fading away, but I could still see it. "You better move before I make your next cheek red too." I tried to hold back a giggle. Carson looked at me confused and then his eyes shed as he remembered what I did in gym ss. He stepped closer to me threateningly. "You don''t have the guts to try that." He said. By this point, he was close to me. I step back, but my back hit the lockers behind me. He raised his hands and instinctively, I shrunk back and used my hands to cover my face.
