To Capture a Prey

Amaris was walking very fast and not paying much attention to what lay ahead. Her concentration was on her bag as she checked whether she brought Mrs. Sprouts homework or not. Today they had to submit their essay. If Raine did not put it in her bag then she was doomed.

All of this was Disney's fault. He loved being outdoors and when he was with her he always had his way. Amaris was completely helpless against that adorable dog, really.

This morning he took advantage of her absent-mindedness when she was looking at the flowers and ran away. Amaris had to chase him down all the way to the next four blocks. When she finally got him back to Mrs. Baxtor's house she knew she had to rush otherwise she will be late for school.

The hallway was empty or so she thought. Kai was looking at the girl rushing with her head into her bag. This girl he thought how could she be so careless? What if in a hurry she crashes with someone? Or slips as these hallways are always slippery. He looked at her feet and was glad to see that at least she was wearing flats.

But the next moment he smirked as he thought of something. Poor Amaris had no idea what will happen to her next. She has become the target of a certain bad boy.

Kai very conveniently stood in her way. Once again he was in all back. He looked dangerous with that smirk on his face. He had one hand in his pocket and the other loosely hanging by his side. He looked carefree as he very slowly took a few steps ahead.

It was time to capture prey.

When Amaris collided with someone she lost her balance and fell forward.

The unaware prey very easily fell into the trap.

Kai was still grinning when he caught Amaris by the waist with one hand and fell backward. His other hand was behind his head so that he won't get hurt too badly. Although he was the firm supporter of no pain no gain, unnecessary pain was still a pain in the ass hence whenever possible it should be avoided.

He let out a bit exaggerated grunt and his expressions changed drastically when Amaris looked up to see the person whom she crashed into. The familiar face stunned her to silence. The apology was frozen on her lips when her mind registered that he was the guy who stole a kiss from her.

Kai watched with interest as to how her eyes spoke volume when her lips remained silent. He has noticed the initial apology, the recognition, and then slowly burning anger in her beautiful orbs.

For a moment he has forgotten the act but he was brought back to reality when he felt her punch him in the chest.

'You... You...' Amaris fumbled for his name to deliver the curse rightly but she could not remember, so she settled with a different name that came to her mind at this time. The meaning befitted this person.

'You rapscallion! How dare you!' Amaris seethed in anger.

'Hey, hold on with the punch, it was you who crashed into me. And what's with this rapsc something?' Kai made a hurt expression hoping that it would help and to this surprise, it worked but only for a few seconds.

Amaris was starting to feel guilty as she recalled how she has hurt him other times but then she also remembered what he did and the guilt was washed away.

'It's rapscallion and you deserve it, for what you did to me yesterday.'

Kai had taken out his hand from behind his head and covered her with his so that future punches will not take place. His other hand was very comfortably resting around her waist. He did not want to move that one.
