I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Tate, my ex boyfriend...who tried to rape me. I couldn't get past that, but I became friends with Jake and he helped me through everything and we eventually became more than just friends. I took my seat and pulled out my phone and looked up. Ms. Wheiler was still asleep as students messed around with her hair.
I texted Jake: "Hey babe, guess who's back? :("
As I waited for a response I put my head down and closed my eyes. I felt a vibration and I opened my phone and it was Jake replying: "what happened sweetie?"
"I'll tell you at lunch" I replied and shit off my phone.
I sat there and put in my earbuds and started to listen to music. I put my head down once more when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. My heart stopped.
Tate.
I rolled my eyes and looked away. My best friend Imani walked in late and saw me trying to get him to leave me alone. "Hey girly come sit over here!" She told me with a smirk on her face. I giggled a little but I didn't let it show.
"He's back!!??" Imani questioned
"Yeah." I stated with no emotion. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now other than Jake.

Lunch arrived fast as I dragged through the rest of my class periods. Jake was waiting for me at my locker I threw my stuff in my locker and slammed the door. Jake opened his arms and wrapped them around my waist, and he picked me up and spun me around.
"So what happened? Who's back?" He asked,concerned, eyebrows furrowed. Gosh he was just so perfect, so muscular and tall. I looked into his deep blue eyes and ran my fingers through his dirty blonde hair putting one strand back in place.
"I walked into homeroom and Tate was there." I said as I frowned. We suddenly stopped in the hallway and he grabbed both of my hands and looked me into my eyes.

"Look at me princess," I said searching for her attention, she looked at me exhausted. " I won't let him hurt you okay? I love you so much and if he lays a finger on you he won be able to have any kids. I promise he won't get to you without getting through me first." She smiled the smile I loved, that made me melt. I pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. We walked outside to the car, and I drove her to her favorite restaurant, Chickfila.
