My World Turned Out To Be A Delusion

5 | Threats

With the bell signalling the end of lunch it startles me awake. With me realising the time I rush to pack what's left of my scrumptious lunch — fyi only crumbs — and fix my posture.

My neck was aching so much I could barely move it. It must have gotten that way from my awkward position when I was sleeping.

But once I heard the final bell ring all of a sudden I was fine and moved so fast I went through the door before it was even fully opened.

While running down the squared formational stairs and through the hall, all the aching I felt moments ago disappeared as if they were never there to begin with.

It must of been my adrenaline from the spike of worry of possibly being late to class. I have math next which was just great.

Math is exactly what I need after an eventful day like today. Although I am saw to be exceeding in every subject including math, math is my worst nightmare. I absolutely hate the migraine-able abomination they call math.

Whoever invented math can go and kiss their damn binomials and Pythagorean theorem. Expecting us to solve an expression of the sum or difference of two terms. It's absurd!

As I draw near my class I realise I'm not far as I can see the front door that leads us in. Within the small distance I can see my professor — Mr Brown — beginning to close the door. With whatever energy I have in me I begin sprinting down the hall.

And before my fingers can be jammed between the door, I feel my entire body plummet forward. The pressure from the door had reversed and opened forcibly.

Before I could even readily catch myself I feel an embrace from behind.

I turn my head to see who had been able to catch me so fast when I see Alec.

He was gripping my wrist with his hand tightly enough to support me but not hurt me. His other arm was wrapped around my stomach and softly holding me by my waist.

With the awkward atmosphere created I attempt at positioning myself to stand with my own support before wincing at the sudden spike of pain in my neck.

I'm assuming it was the same ache from before when I was sleeping. My adrenaline must have walked away once I was struck by the sudden male holding me in questionable places.

When I winced, instead of releasing me he held me tighter and closer to him with my head leaning on his broad chest and all my weight piled on his slim yet stern body.

I was close enough to feel his warm breath brushing my neck. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Not only from the stabbing pain in my neck but also from the supposedly beastie delinquent embracing me.

I'm quick to notice the many burning eyes of the students behind us.

At my conspicuous presentation of falling through the door and being in the embrace of some bad boy like out of some drama film I'm vexed with all the attention surging our way.

I gently begin to walk out of Alec's arms and make my way to my desk, before I could even get within an inch away from him he grips my shoulders.

"She seems to be injured, I'll take her to the infirmary"

"What?" I respond in a questioning tone.  Sounding more aggressive that it was suppose to be but I don't correct myself. 

Alec remains silent, ignoring me. And I can't help but feel slightly irked to that. Jerk.

"I'm fine. I don't need to go to the infirmary." I announce trying to hide my exasperation with an even tone. As I'm notifying them that I'm fine I begin walking forward expecting Alec to release his grip.
