A kitten bit Me!

Indistinct muttering, uneasy footsteps, and chuckles filled the hallway of Virginia high. A typical scenario of students rushing to the class as it was almost the time before the final bell rang. But there was a lone figure standing by the locker, resting lazily, with legs crossed over, and eyes closed.

All in black, he looked like a fallen angel as he took a puff and blew the smoke into the air.

Many students, especially girls, stopped and stared for a second. They were captured by his beauty but none of them dared to approach him. They could not afford to offend this god.

He was none other than Kai, the infamous bad boy of the school.

It was in common knowledge that he disliked girls. He could not stand them, not even for a minute. Many had tried to go after him but he did not spare them even a single glance. Only last month, the cheerleader head, Ashley has declared her rights on him. When a daring student reporter has asked Kai if he knew about it, his reply has made headlines.

The post has gone viral and his blog has become the talk of the town for a whole lot of weeks. The title read- Ashley, Who? The Janitor!

These four words had ruined the glittery image of Ashley and crumbled her pride to dust. Previously, nobody dared to say anything to her even though she has made numerous girls cry because of their appearance. She has even glorified her deeds of snatching boyfriends for the reason that she has the looks.

Now all of her past triumphs have become nothing. When she passes by in the hallway she could even hear students snickering behind her back. She could do nothing but grind her teeth and leave with a huff.

Her present situation is because of Kai, but in reality, it is her own doing. If she has not blatantly declared her next conquest and tried to claim him, then she would still have the title of the hottest cheerleader of school.

Now her new label is a 'Wannabe Janitor'.

Since then girls have maintained an extra distance from Kai and only admired this dangerous beauty from afar.

Riinngggg…

With the last bell, the hallway became almost empty, but still Kai did not move. He was lost in his thoughts and did not see a figure rushing to the class.

But the figure saw him, his aloof figure was too outstanding to not notice, and moreover, nobody was in the hallway. Her footsteps haltered and then changed direction. She quickened her pace and then stopped in front of him. Raising her left hand she plucked the cigarette from his fingers and said lightly.

'Smoking is bad, you must take care of yourself.'

Kai was caught off guard and hence the cig was taken so easily from him. He was furious, who would dare to take something away from him. He opened his eyes to glare at the intruder.

But there was no one.

'Fuck! Where is the fu****?.' He cursed under his breath. He looked to his right and saw a slender girl walking away with his stick.

He saw as she put it out before she threw it in the bin. He took a step in her direction, ready to give that damn girl a piece of his mind. How dare she snatches away his stick! She was DONE! He won't hold back just because she is a girl.

Nobody messed with him.

But before Kai could say something the girl turned. She looked him straight in the eye and all of the profanities died at his lips. Words did not come out much less the insult.

His mind went blank.

Her lips were moving but he heard nothing. He was not aware of what she said as he was once again taken by surprise.

It was her eyes.

Kai has never seen such eyes. The color was so light, it almost appeared translucent. They were so bright, in that instant, he believed that they could lighten up the whole world.

Unknowingly, he held his breath as the girl approached.

Kai had no idea what was happening to him. He was fascinated by this whole situation. The fierceness that was supposed to be there in his eyes was long gone. Instead, now they were filled with curiosity.

Kai was unaware of the changes that were happening to him. He watched as she held out her hand.

Why did she do that?

If any onlooker saw this scene, the light-hearted ones would have fainted by now. Was the girl out of her mind? What the hell she wanted to do? Did she want to shake his hand? Is that some kind of prank? Was she looking for death? Didn't she know who he was?

It was Kai! His name was enough to instill fear in the heart of anyone.

Amaris saw the guy was standing there staring at her outstretched hand. She looked down. Nothing was there, her hand was clean. So what was he looking at? She had seen him once. They shared a class. But for the life of her, she couldn't recall his name.

He had not responded to anything that she said. Can he not listen to her? Was he deaf? Or perhaps he was mute? Poor him! Her heart went out to him. But she could not wait any longer. The last bell has rung and they could be in trouble if anyone saw them lingering here.

Amaris knew that time was tight, any second now, Mrs. Hill would be here. Then they would get a red ticket and it will be an hour of lecture to follow or detention after school was over. She could not afford one hence she took the matter in her hand, literally.

She quickly grabbed his hand and then turned back. They would definitely be caught if he kept standing there like a statue.

'Hurry, otherwise, we will be late.' Amaris urged the guy and started to move. But it became a difficult task… the guy won't budge. She let out a frustrated sigh and looked at him with pleading eyes.

'If we got caught, it will only bring trouble. So let's be quick, okay.' She tried once again to coax him into walking. But her efforts bore no fruits. Kai could vaguely make out what she said but he still was not sure. He has yet to return to the mortal world.

Amaris gave up and then tried to let go of his hand. But who would have thought that he won't let go? Amaris felt like she dug her own grave.

'Sara was right, I meddle too much in other people's affairs and now it has come to bite her in the back.' She muttered under her breath.

Why was the guy not letting go? She was getting upset, now. She has to do something. Thinking on her feet she reached a dangerous conclusion. It was risky but she had to do it.

'You brought this upon yourself, mister but nevertheless, I am still sorry.' Amaris apologized and then she BIT him.

Kai had held the hand tightly when he had felt the grip loosen. For some reason, he had liked the warmth. despite the struggle, he kept holding on. When the struggle stopped he was delighted but then came a sharp sting. Instinctually he let go.

Amaris said sorry once again and left hurriedly.

The impact jolted Kai awake and brought him back to his senses. He was a tad bit late though as like wind the girl was gone.

Did he dream about it? Kai mused.

But then why would he dream about getting bit? Kai then looked at his hand and saw the bite marks.

So it did happen. He concluded. Kai was completely unaware of the small smile playing on his lips. He relaxed but then stiffened again as he just realized the situation.

'So she really bit me?' he said in disbelief.

'WHAT?!'

Kai turned and saw Drake and Rudy.

'Who bit whom?' Rudy asked curiously. Both of them then followed his previous line of vision and saw his hand.

Drake quickly took it and his eyes bulged out in incredulity.

'WOAH! Where did this beauty come from?' he asked, his expression was comical.

'Who dared to bite Kai?' Rudy drawled out. He too was curious and wanted to know what happened.

'Who has a death wish?' Drake exclaimed. Both of them looked at him expecting an answer.

'Nobody.' Kai snapped and with a jerk freed his hand from Drake's grasp.

'Yeah! It sure does not looks like a nobody.' Rudy teased.

'You are right.' Kai admitted. Drake and Rudy were surprised by his admission. Now that was a first.

'Mind telling us, who was it?' Rudy inquired. His brows vanished into his hair as he saw the smile on Kai's lips.

Drake too rubbed his eyes, he was not sure if what he saw was true. Was he hallucinating? He thought.

This sudden one-eighty-degree change from fierce to mellow was now starting to scare them. And when they heard his answer, it was confirmed that something had happened.

They just have to figure out what.

'A kitten, a kitten bit me.' With that said, Kai left. His laugh drifted in the air as his friends finally registered what he said.

'A kitten!' Drake shouted.

'Things sure are getting interesting in Virginia high. My morning is definitely looking up.' Rudy mused out loud.

'Huh?' Drake was not sure what just happened. His EQ was not great.

Rudy shook his head and pointed in Kai's direction. 'Let's go.'

Drake flung his hand over Rudy's shoulder and both of them started walking. After a few seconds, Drake's booming laugh echoed in the hallway.
