Stay Away

Chapter One

Sometimes, it's just best to stay away. I learned that the hard way. love has never really been my thing, and i think i've learned that. Once you go through enough heartbreaks, it's not that difficult to start to distance yourself. Although i've never had a boyfriend, every time i get close to a guy, my best friend steals him. after the last one i told her i was done with her. not that it mattered any to her, but i just was tired of her.

    "Hey Jess!!" i said to jessica on the way to lunch. after i dropped Alyssa, Jessica was there for me.
   
"Hey Jenna, what's up?" Jess replied.

"Not much, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out after school today?"

"i wish i could, but i have cheer practice, how about saturday?" she replied

"that sounds great! see you then."

"See ya Jen."

     i didn't wanna bother her to ask to eat lunch with me, so as per usual i buy my lunch from the mess hall and go to eat at my tree. but today felt different. i don't know if it was the air or what, but something was off. I could sense it. and again, i was right. i finished my lunch and began reading and all the sudden, a tall dark shadow fell over me.

"so you like reading?" a man i didn't recognize asks me. i didn't look up.

"so what?" i said, in my snarkiest tone

"you don't have to get all defensive Jen, you know?" the man said. i started to freak out. how did he know my name? i don't even know this dude. finally, i looked up.

"who are you, and how do you know my name"
i was so scared, if i'm being completely honest, i thought he was gonna kidnap me or something, turn into some megan is missing type thing you know?

"Alex Huxley, and i overheard your conversation with your friend earlier, that's how i know your name"

"get out of my buisness, and leave me alone" i replied

he walked away.

i was infuriated to say the least. like get out of my buisness. this was off to a bad start to say the least. he has some good features though, a defined jawline, the body of an athlete, curly brown hair, and the most beautiful brown eyes i'd ever looked at. but i didn't let that distract me from the fact he was in my buisness.
