We finally drive into the school and Justin parks. I hop out of the car and jog over to my group of friends with Johny soon behind me. They all hug me and we walk into school laughing and chatting abotut the best parts of our summer. I stopped at my locker with Justin while my friends headed off to class. He kissed me again then hugged me and told me,"Everything will be fine, trust me, if anything happens tell me."
5 minutes later I had my books and walked to my first class...English. He smiled at me and gave me a once-over. I cringed and walked away with my head toward the floor. I sat down next to my best friend Josh and started talking to him about how much we hate school. He nodded toward Brett and I looked at the floor with sadness, Josh hugged me and told me he'd break his face if Brett ever tried something with me. My other friend Jake walked in and sat by me, making up some joke about a fat kid he saw in the halls eating 3 Twinkies at a time. We all laughed nervously then the teacher,Mrs. Benton, walked in. She is just about the ugliest old lady ever, and had the worst sense of dress.
"Goodmorning children!"
"Goodmorning,Mrs. Benton" We all answered in monotone.
"Class, today we are going to start with all of our parts of speech...."
Blah, blah, blah.....I've always hated English. It's always been boring and I mastered most of the skills we are learning now in, like, 4th grade. So I turned to passing notes to Josh and Jake.
I ripped out a piece of paper from my notebook and wrote:
Josh! I can't believe he's like right there!
I passed it swiftly over to his desk, he wrote back in his messy cursive:
Yeah, I know right. He's a creeper. Hey, whatcha doing tonight? Alexis and I are going bowling, you and Justin wanna come too?
I wrote quickly:
Sure!
Josh replied and gave me a note back but I didn't notice and took a little nap in class until it was over. I ran out of the classroom fast, but staying out of HIS way. My next class was study hall, and nobody had any homework, so we all sat and talked. In the middle of the class HE passed me a note.
It said:
I still love you baby. I wanna be with you forever. If I can't have you, nobody can.
I crumpled p the sheet of paper and shoved it in my backpack, struggling to keep the tears in. I looked down and Justin, sitting next to me put a comforting arm around me and whispered softly,"It'll be okay, baby, I love you."
I turned and handed him the note to read, his eyes grew wide when he saw what it said.
"Don't believe that crap, he's all talk and no do."
"But he really tried to......" I stuttered.
"Babe....I'll protect you."
"Alright...."
I was having a hard time keeping the tears away so I buried my head in my arms.
Who could blame me? He already attempted murder on my mother, father, and my fraternal twin, Jenna.
