Innocence

Chapter Nine - Surprise!

Picture of Amanda to the side :)

You can imagine everyone's shock when Tyler appeared at school the next day; along with Damien and James. You can also imagine their shock - and mine - When he wrapped an arm around my waist and crashed his lips onto mine in front of majority of the student population. The kiss didn't last long, which I was thankful for because I was not a big fan of PDA, but it still got everyone that saw murmuring and texting away.

My eyes met Amanda and Alice's surprised faces in the crowd, and they looked like they were going to shoot me with their eyes.

'What happened there?!' Amanda mouthed.

I shrugged and mouthed back 'It's complicated, later.' She nodded and turned towards Alice.

"What was that for Superman? You do realize that the whole school will be talking about this!" I hissed
into his ear as he dragged me closer towards him.

"Good. Let them. That way everyone will know that you're officially mine." He said with a smirk.

"You didn't even ask me to be yours!" I exclaimed.

"Who said you had a choice? You're mine because I want you to be." He replied stubbornly then sneaked another peck on my lips before his smirk grew.

I smiled and shook my head. How was I going to deal with this man? My man?

“Wait, I’m not done with you three. Is someone going to explain what there is between you and Paul? I’ve figured out you guys are in a gang and I think Tyler’s the leader but Damien used to be? That’s the conclusion I’m making from the conversation I witnessed last night when Paul was on the phone. Now, tell me how this all started.” The reply to that were blank faces from all three boys.

“How…” Damien started.

“Did you even…: James continued.

“Figure all that out.” Tyler finished with a bewildered look.

“Oh… Well, I mean it’s pretty obvious. You and Paul are at war; you both have members of the gang and I’m guessing Paul’s group is the weakest yet they do the worst things?” I asked unsurely.

“That’s why they’re the weakest.” Muttered James under his breath.

“No, you couldn’t have just ‘figured it out’. Someone must have told you. Who was it? Was it these idiots? Or are you talking to someone I don’t know about? Who is he? I swear to god when I get my hands on him I’ll-”

“Tyler! Don’t be rude! Damien and James said nothing to me although I did try to get it out of them once. Do you doubt my ability to figure things out on my own?” I frowned, putting a hand on my hip to try and make myself look stern. But the sound of Damien’s snicker and Tyler’s smirk, it didn’t work.

“No offense Blondie, but you’re kind of really naïve.” Damien smiled.

“Yeah. We didn’t think you’d even think about something that… how you would put it, violent.” James added.

“You guys have practically thrown each other around in front of me, twice! And I’ve seen how you act when you’re around others. You act superior and like you’re death walking through everyone else. Plus, I’ve watched a lot of movies I think I know how this whole thing goes.” I muttered the last part and started blushing.

Tyler chuckled and kissed my forehead. “If only you knew. The movies you’ve watched are nothing compared to what happens in real life. It’s dangerous, and if you ever get caught in between it, I’ll kill every single person that looks at you.” He said darkly. Just then, a freshman who glanced at me then stared at Tyler walked by, and Tyler snarled in his direction, making the boy scurry off in fright.
