The Darkest Green

Chapter Three

Before I know it, it's already time for lunch. I start to get anxious again. Who will I sit with? I don't know anyone.
I grab my tray of food and look out over the cafeteria. All the tables are filled with their own little groups. I don't fit in anywhere.
I make my way out to the courtyard and take a seat on the freshly mowed grass. I eat my food quietly and feel awkward... like someone's watching me.
When lunch is finally over, I go to my locker to find a note taped to the door.
meet me at my locker after
school. locker number 420.
- Pepe
I feel my face get hot. Why does he want to see me... of all people? What does he have against me? He's probably using me for dank memes.
I get my things and walk to my next class, disgusted by Pepe.
After school, I grabbed my bag and started towards the front doors, not bothering to find Pepe.
I had walked down the street til I reached my street I take a turn on. On the corner there is a small convenience store. I walk right past it, but as I walk away I feel a hand grab my waste.
My automatic reflex is to turn around and slap the man. But as soon as I do immediately regret it. Pepe stands before me, now with a red hand mark on his cheek.
I start to flee before he can hurt me, but he's too fast. Before I even start to run away, hes standing in front of me again.
"H-how-" I start, but I am caught off guard by how close Pepe is to my face. I can feel his breath. His hand is tightly wrapped around my arm so I cannot run away.
I turn my head away. "What do you want Pepe?" I try to hold back tears. Something about his dark eyes make me feel so much emotion.
Pepe continues to stare at me.
"What?! I don't have any memes you would want... I swear! I'm not the girl you're looking for..."
Suddenly... Pepe let go of my wrist. He looked shocked. His hands went up to cover his bright red lips.
"I... I..." He starts, but then starts to run the other direction.
I'm curious about Pepe. He makes me feel something I haven't felt before. It's a rare feeling. He leaves me craving more.
