Chapter 11

Large tears began rolling down my face and I heard myself yelling at him. “Why do you do such things? You don’t even know me! Let alone like me! Do I seem like someone you can play with? Have I ever offended you in any way? I don’t even know you and yet you… you… “I began to cry uncontrollably and flopped down onto the floor like a two year old that’s throwing a tantrum.

Jayden had a mortified look on his face.

“I-I-I…” He couldn’t find the words to complete his sentence.

Before he could say what he wanted to, I got up an said, “ I don’t want to have anything to do with you!” and ran away. Leaving him standing at the same spot speechless and shocked by what had just happened.

As I ran, I could still feel tears streaming down my face. It was as if my eyes were producing a miniature waterfall that just wouldn’t stop no matter how many times I’d tried to wipe them off my face.

Not noticing that there was someone in front of me, I collided into that person.

“I… I’m sorry.” I muttered, keeping my head low, hoping that whoever it was hadn’t seen my tear stained face.

“Lenna! I was just about to go and look for you.” Mal said in a worried voice. “What happened?”

“MALLLL!!!” I wailed like a child seeking comfort and hugged her tightly.

“What happened?!” Mal said in a shocked voice, “what’d he do to you??” as she stroked me on the head like a mother.

Chapter 10

“Hey! You! Wait up!”

I could him running right behind me.

I felt like a deer that was being chased by a predator.

Unknowingly, I ran faster and faster until somehow I ended up at the rooftop of my school. Feeling trapped, I turned around slowly…

“Oh thank gosh! I’ve lost him!” I breathed a sigh a of relief. “But why was I even running away from him in the first place?” I wondered out aloud.

Suddenly, someone grabbed me from the back by my waist, causing me to fall backwards onto the person.

“You’re really as predictable as I thought you were.” The same deep voice whispered into my ear.

I could feel the heat of his body and his breathless voice confirmed my suspicion that it was  no doubt who I’d thought it was.

My body froze as I felt myself being turned slowly to come face to face with none other than Jayden Smith.

I immediately wanted to escape from his clutches but he held on tightly as soon as he sensed that I wanted to run away from him again.

“Let go of me!!” I yelled as I struggled against him forcefully.

“Give me reason for why I should.”

“No! Just let go of me! Why do you always do this to me?”

“Do what to you?”

“THIS!” I pointed at his hand grasped around my waist, “and, a-a-aaa-nd that, that…” I couldn’t finish what I wanted to say and started blushing furiously.

Realizing what I had meant, Jayden replied, “Oh you mean this?”

He turned me around and pulled me close to him and the next thing I knew, I felt this thing around my lips.

I froze again and this time, I couldn’t even move away no matter how much I wanted to. I really wanted to push him away but I couldn’t.

Suddenly feeling really weak and vulnerable, tears welled up in my eyes and slid down my face, eventually coming into contact with Jayden’s skin. Shocked, he stopped what he was doing and starred at me.

Chapter 9

“OMG! I can’t BELIEVE it! No wonder I found him oddly familiar the last time he forced a kiss on you!!” Mal exclaimed.

“Keep it down will you?” I hissed at her.

“Okay, okay. Don’t need to be so touchy about that”.

“How can I not be? It was my first kiss and that tha-ah-tt JERK… that JERK… did that!”

“Yeah I get what you mean. But at least he’s hot Lenna. It could have been worse. Imagine if you were kissed by a jerk that also happens to be lacking in the looks department!”

“Yeah I suppose so. But he’s still an idiotic jerk! Not to mention he’s also an…”

“asshole. Yeah I get the picture Lenna. But from what I know, he’s far from being a jerk. He’s rather well-liked you know? Responsible, smart, sweet, athletic, musically inclined and not to mention really goo…”

“I don’t care what others say. If he is the gentleman that people say he is, he wouldn’t have done something like THAT to someone he doesn’t even know! Not to mention that I had only seen him twice maybe thrice. And it was all really pure coincidences! I feel really indignant about it!”

“Yeah, I get how you feel love.” Mal closed in and gave me a hug. “But I really have to say that he’s one big Hottie. I wonder why I haven’t noticed him before…”

As she said that, Mal had a dreamy look on her face.

“Snap out of it.”

“Aw, you’re such a grouch!” (*sticks out tongue*)

“Sorry, I can’t help it! I just loose-control when it comes to that Jayden Smith…”

“You seem to like me more than I thought” a deep voice whispered into my ear.

The minute I heard it, I felt chills run down my spine. My body froze and I suddenly had an impeccably strong urge to run away.

Before I knew it, my legs started moving, faster and faster.
