Unexpected First Love

Chapter 4 - Hostage

-Tamika-

" Mom am off to school!" I shouted before opening the front door.

"Have a great day sweetheart. I love you." She shouted back.

"I love you too!" I went into the garage to get going. Mom was working from home today for some unknown reason. I hadn't bothered to ask.

As I drove to school I thought about last night's texts with jerk ass. He wants me to talk to him. I have a few choice words for him that I would love to get out. So I should take the opportunity since he gave me permission.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know I dreaded going to school everyday but today it's like I dreaded it even more. I briskly walked from the parking lot and into the school's hallway trying my best to avoid bouncing up with Michael. I made it to my locker and I felt a little relieved. I felt an arm on my shoulder and I gasped.

"Why so jumpy?" Samson looked concerned.

"Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack!" I rolled my eyes at him and slammed my locker shut. He instinctively jumped back.

"What's up with you Tami?" His dark gaze deepened into mine. I sighed rubbing my temple.

"Am sorry son, lack of sleep I guess." I really don't need this now. "Where's Gina?" I quickly changed the subject. And he relaxed, smiling.

"Well she's..... Ummm...... Resting in class now." He smirked and looked satisfied with his self.

"Ok, I don't wanna know." I held up my hands preventing him from going any further.

Lucy came running to me like an idiot. Almost knocking to the floor. Samson stepped back as I looked at him with pity begging for help.

"Well ladies....ummm.... See you all later." He walked away. I wish I could send my book at the back of his head, but calculating the distance it was just a fantasy.

"So Tami, how was yesterday with jerk ass?" Her eyes was filled with mischief.

"It was just work Lucy. But the house was like mine in interior, but it was bigger than mine a bit; he rides a motorcycle and he's not as dumb as we think he is. That quite sums it up." I grabbed her arm as we walked down the hallway. Her jaw dropped. I laughed at her, shaking my head.

I scouted the area to see if I saw jerk ass. To my surprise and peace of mind I hadn't seen him.

The bell rang as we entered the science lab. Gina's head slumped onto the counter. We sat down in our usual seats. And her head popped up as I rubbed her back.

"What's wrong Gin?" Lucy was determined to find out.

"Nothing much. Just a bit sore from....." She was cut off by Lucy.

"Oookkk. I get the drift. Oh look sir is here now." She quickly pulled out her book. We both laughed a bit too loudly, Mr. Richmore sent us a 'would-you-like-to-share-the-joke' glare and we stopped immediately.

The day flew by soo quickly today. Well not as quick as I want it too.

"Tamika Strott!" I recognized the frank voice. I rolled my eyes as I turned around on my heels. I put on my sweetest smile. It's amazing she took as long as Wednesday to find something on me.

"Miss. Pawn." I said as I walked towards her.

"My office. Now." She whipped her head and headed back to her office. I parodied her as I followed.
