I was walking down the hallway to my dorm.

When I noticed, some figure wearing a black hoodie.

That was so obviously Danielle.

Shes a level 9, but she cannot disguise for the life of her.

I was aware of what she was doing, but I just proceeded as I usually would.

And there she goes, running and grabbing me by my neck, spinning around so my body closed the door behind me.

I wanted to mess with her for a little bit.

"Good evening, princess."

Her reaction was exactly as I thought.

Shocked, probably confused.

I hear her mumble "What the fuck?"

"Stunned by my words darling?"

I was playing with fire at this point.

"Shut up!" she shouted so loudly I thought I would go deaf.

We were probably staring at eachother for a minute or two until she spoke up again.

"Why?" she mumbled.

But I was having fun, theres no stopping now.

"Hmm? Did you say something?"

"Why?" She said louder now.

I knew exactly what she was asking.

But I still "Why? Why what? What are you asking?"

I see her take a deep breath before saying "Why didn't you kiss me?"

Perfect.

"Oh? Why didn't I kiss you?"

She puts her hands down from my neck and puts them on each of side of me.

"Maybe I just didn't want to kiss you?"

"Why?" she shouted, having angry tears.

This is when I realised..

She wasn't joking around.

Not going to lie, I felt bad, I felt bad playing her

"Forget it." she said before pushing me to the side, opening the door.

Then she left.

------

I barely got any sleep last night.

Last night was crazy.

Why did she actually care that I didn't kiss her?

I thought she despised me.

I get up, putting on some music to get the thought of her out of my head.

------

Classes went as normal.

I was right now sitting in my seat, trying to listen to my professor rambling.

I was fidgeting more than normally today, and it wasnt a mystery why.

*RINGGG*

Perfect, It was lunch.

Even though Pierson kept rambling and rambling about something, I could only hear my own thoughts.

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

I hear a group of people chanting the word "Fight"

I thought It was just another fight, fights happen almost everyday.

Theres a bigger chance of there being some stupid fight, than there not being one.

Pierson stayed to watch, like he always does. While I just went back to my room to do some homework.

------

*RINGGG*

Finally, the day is over.

I sit up from my seat, gathering my books and notes.

I walk down the hallway with the locker, finding mine and stuffing stuff I didnt need for homework, in it.

As I started walking away, I watch a glimpse of the girl that had been on my mind the whole day.

Danielle.

I walk up to her but then I notice...

bruises.

I didn't think twice, and I found myself pinning her to the wall, trying not to hurt her.

"Who did this to you?" I screamed, not caring that there still were people in the hallway.

"Why do you care?" She mumbled, not even looking at me.

Seeing her hurt, made my heart ache.

Not the heart ache I feel when Im done with a workout.

It was heartbreak.

For her.

"You are telling me who did this to you, immidiately!" I didn't want to shout, but I had to.

She just remained silent.

The silence was loud.

She was obviously trying really hard to not look at me, but I could see the tears in her eyes.

I took of my hands to her chin, proping her face up to look at me.

"Who did this to you?" I said, more quietly now.

I was understanding that she was scared.

I could feel all the students around me, filming.

Cause I almost never talk to anyone, ever.
And after that dare at the party, word quickly spread around.

She was still silent, I could feel her trembling under my touch.

I sighed, and I took her arm, leading her to my dorm that wasnt far away.
And weirdly, she didn't kick me down for touching her.

When we arrived, I lead her over to my bed. Sitting her down. Then, I went to the bathroom and got her a glass of water.

I gave it to her "Please, take as much time as you want. Just please drink this water."

Without hesitastion, she took it from me and drank it relitavely fast.

I could see her still trembling.

I sat down next to her, maybe giving her some comfort.

But then, I felt it.

She pulled me into a hug.

It was literally the last thing I thought she would do.

But I hugged her back, and we stayed like that for a few minutes.

I played with her hair as I could feel her warm tears in my shirt.

Then she suddenly got up.

"Fuck." was all I heard.

"Did I really just..?" I gave her a nod.

"Fuck, crap, shit... this wasn't supposed to happen.."

"Yeah, I know." Thats all I said.

But she sat down again.

"Evelyn." I heard her say.

"Evelyn Hunter."
