chapter three

"So um l'm afraid to ask but l'll go ahead and ask"

Without even looking at this troll next to me l answer

"If whatever it is you want to ask pisses me off,l'll gladly gift wrap your corpse and deliver it to the love of your life"

Miles gasp,pretty gold eyes widening. I smile thinking that l finally got him to shut up but his next words wipes it clean off

"Well you'd need to get pass his best friend Hunter to give him my corpse but seeing as how your IQ drops when he's around..."

"You wanna die you troll" l glare,heat spreading from my cheeks to my neck

The idiot only laughs,leaving me with a racing heart and angry glare

"You know what,lm leaving you ingrate"

He places a hand over his chest and wipes away non existence

"No Sethy,don't go otherwise who else will be willing to gift wrap my corpse and give it to my one true love"

I am not even gonna respond to that,instead l focus on my book while waiting for the class to end

The troll continues to stare at me than coughs out lightly.

Closing the book l decide to give him my utmost attention

"Alright you useless trash,what the fuck is it?

He stares at me for a while than abruptly ask

"Are you still a virgin"?

I choke,on what l do not know but what l do know is that for a full minute l was choking

"What the hell you ingrate,who goes around asking that bullshit"

"Well what choice do l have,you're showing of that bite mark like a trophy so l had thought that you know..."

I glare at him,hand instinctively covering my neck causing a slight shiver to go through my body

"Miles l'm a virgin, l'm not sure how l got this shit on my neck and l can guarantee that it was not a bite when l left home so l figured it was gonna heal on it's own but as you and l can observe l was very much mistaken for which l'm paying the price in a form of answering trash like you"

He stares shocked

"And no lm not wearing it as a trophy,l don't have anything to hide it with"

He still stares but before he could get himself together the bell rings

"Welp my friend see you tomorrow, it'd be great to see you never but when have l ever been that lucky"

I give him a light pat on his unruly blonde hair and walk towards the door,he's still gaping

Weird reaction, l get you're shocked but geez

I should go home quick,if Miles noticed this shit on my neck than of course other's did, and of course he was not exaggerating when he said it was a bite mark. In fact he was sugar-coating it.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Damn it all,before l could even escape, Mr dDoupi had seen me and now l'm exhausted from all those errands he made me run

The weather outside turned on me too,it's was nice and warm a moment ago but l delivered a stack of papers to Miss Wormwood and bam it's raining

Miles was home by the time l was done so l couldn't even snag a ride

So now lm stuck waiting this rain out

Curse you weather curse you

I look up only to be met with the dark cloud cloaked by the violent pittar patter of rain. It creates a grayish blackish colour that resonate with both calmness and unbound wildness

I let out a quiet sigh because something just clicked,this colour

It's Hunter's eyes

My heart picks up and my chest start to ache,the norm of my life

A scent of sandalwood makes it's way to my noise and before l could register where it comes from a deep husky voice makes it way to my eats

"Do you like this type of weather?

My heart's gonna burst,Hunter looks at me with those eyes and l swear something vital stopped functioning inside me

He raises an eyebrow and l realize that he's waiting for an answer

"Oh um y yeah l lik like this weather if onlylwasnotunderitinsteadlwasinbedthiswouldhavebeennicer

"Of course being under it is cool if you don't mind being cold and catch A cold coz than you wouldn't make it to school and ld be worried...l mean your friends would be worried but ld be worried too but not coz of anything weird just l worry ...about people so yeah

What the hell was that l should have left it at "yeah l like this weather, geez Miles was right my IQ does drop

I look down suddenly very hot but in the next moment l hear a chuckle

I look up and see Hunter,smiling well technically laughing and probably at me but who cares there's a beautiful smile on his lips and he looks so bright with it. My poor heart can't handle this

" l guess you have a lot to aay huh"

I only stare,trying to engrave this image in my head, this smile,l've never seen it nor have it directed to me so l'll cherish it even in my memories

Suddenly black orbs are inches away from my face

"Are you doing okay, you've been staring for quite some time you know " there's a slight smirk that's hard to discern but l can descern it because he's ridiculously close

He leans closer and l find myself unable to move,just like that dream lm hypnotized by him

Closer

oser

r....

The sound of rain, the soft cold breeze against my cheeks it's all drowned out by my racing heart

"We should probably leave before we catch a cold no"

I can't speak so l nod still dazed by our proximity

There's a slight whoosh and it dawns on me that he opened an umbrella

He's no longer close,somehow that makes me feel empty

"Let go?"

I almost nod when l remembered something

"W wait you're wa walking me home?"

He smiles than rubs the back of his neck

It gives off an air of bashfullness and makes him look like an adorable dork

My poor heart can't handle this

"Technically l'm driving you home but since l don't know where you live you'd have to direct me as for now we're going to the parking"

It doesn't change the fact that he's taking me home but...

"W w why??"

He stares for a while,making me shift,there's that intense stare,the one he gave me in class a couple days ago

"It's because l want to,do l need another reason other than this one"

I'm frozen,because he wants to... he wants to drive me home... me?? but he doesn't know me at least not like that

"So let go Seth,it's getting heavier "

"Y yeah s sorry"

He smiles and my worries fly away

We walk side by side,shielded by an umbrella against the brutal raindrops

Though l wonder why he said the rain is getting heavier, it looks almost peaceful

Guess he doesn't like the rain

He looks down at me

"So Seth,tell me a bit about yourself

"Me,well l let's see,l like the colour of th the sk sky right now now

Finally,l gotch you
