About Last Night

Chapter 8

I start reading my book from where I had left off before not really eating much of my lunch since I wasn't really hungry when I notice a group of guys walking towards me. Hardin's group of friends and him of course. Hardin sat next to me while the other guys sat in front of me. They really didn't seem to be bothered by me until Hardin started speaking to me and I was ignoring him. He snatched my book.

"Hey! Give it back!" I said yelling to where only our table could hear me and not the whole cafeteria. He had the same stupid/flirty smile from earlier while flipping through the pages of my book. He raised his eyebrows as he read through the lines of where my bookmarker was currently at.

"Whoa, so you like it rough huh?" he asked. All his friends were confused as he got closer to my ear and whispered "I can show you how rough I can be." with a stupid grin on his face as he bit his lips.

"Shut up, and it's just a book, it has nothing to do with me," I said

"Oh yes it does, I'm way smarter than what you think I am. The books you choose are either a good representation of your life or just a part of your imagination. It either represents something you are currently living through or it's just something you wish you were living through." he said. And he was right. The only reason why I read those books was to give me hope that love did exist as it was a failure in my own life. I always replaced those females in the book with my self imagining it was me.

"Actually your wrong," I said snatching the book out of his hands. He was pretty smart to be the fuckboy/jock of the school. I grabbed my lunch and my book and stood up and tried walking away from the table, but he grabbed my wrist and didn't let go.

"Now, where do you think your going? Come back and sit down. I'll tell you when you're allowed to leave. After all, you are at our table." He pulled my wrist making me sit back down.

"Your table?" I asked with confusion.

"Yes, our table. You sat at our table. Now, what's your name? I'm afraid you never told me your name."

"Elle, I'm Elle," I said with a low tone.

"Well Elle, I would like you to stay here until I finish my lunch," he said as he grabbed my inner thigh. He moved his hand higher until he was near my underwear. He softly rubbed his fingers near my opening teasing me. I have to admit it did feel good but I wasn't going to be another one of the girls he messed around with so I tried to remove his hand but he wouldn't. At that point, he was rubbing his fingers near my opening while eating his lunch. He had already finished his lunch but he still didn't let me leave.

"Are you going to let me go now? You already finished your lunch." I said

"No, we have the next class together so you can walk with me," he said looking at me in the eyes. I finally removed his hand and he didn't seem too happy about it. The bell rang and everyone started walking to their classes. I got up threw my lunch away and started walking to my next class. I wasn't going to walk with him. He eventually lost me among all the crowd. I got to class and the was a substitute. Who the fuck misses the first day of school? Turn out our teacher had been pregnant and delivered her baby the day prior so she couldn't make it to school.

I looked for an empty seat and found one near the back. I walked over there and I felt someone grab my arm pulling me into a different direction. It was Hardin. He told me to sit next to him and I had no other option.

"Where the fuck did you go? I told you that you were going to walk with me," he said in somewhat of an angry tone. I didn't say anything back as I had no response.

"Good afternoon students. As you may know, your teacher will not be here for the next few days and you all will have substitutes. I am your substitute for today. You guys can do whatever you want as long as you keep inside voices since this is the first day of school. I will be upfront if you need anything." said the substitute that was in the classroom.

"Come with me," said Hardin as we walked out of the classroom.
