Alexandra

Chapter 6

I can't believe my grandfather did this. I got a b plus instead of an A plus and he left me to take a bus home in the middle of the night.

There isn't anyone here except for the middle aged man who's sitting on the bench and eyeing me in a disgusting way.

Just 6 minutes. Alexandra you can do it. I try to calm myself but my nerves are killing me. There is a shopping mall right across the street I can run if he tries anything.

5 minutes.

4 minutes and he stands up. "hey, little girl." He comes over to where I'm standing and I take a step back. "What's your name pretty?"

3 minutes.

I stay silent. I look at the mall and his eyes follow my movement. "Don't think about it. You can't run from me. It's just the two of us." He reaches his hand out to me and I yell at him to not touch me. He laughs. Why isn't anyone here?

I try to turn around but his hand grabs my arm and I'm stuck. "Let me go!" I say louder trying to scare him.

"No need to play hard to get, little girl, it's just us here and I'm gonna give you the best night of your life."

I feel disgusted by his words and thinking about what can happen makes me nauseous.

"Who says it's just the two of you?"

His eyes widen at the voice and he looks behind me. I don't know who's standing there but he quickly steps away from me.

"I d- didn't.." he trails off and the man behind me comes to stand beside me. I take a peek and see that he must be my age. He's slightly taller than me and he has light blue eyes which makes his face expression look cold. But he's helping me. He must be nice.

"I know what you were about to do and you know who my father is. You won't get out of this situation without consequences so I'll give you a little piece of advice. You better go and turn yourself in right this second or when my father does that, it won't be pretty." I don't know who this boy's father is but he must be someone who has power because the man who tried to assault me cowers in fear and starts trembling.

"I'm sorry."

The boy raises an eyebrow at the man and he quickly turns around and runs away.

"Don't worry about him. You won't see him again." The boy sounds so confident that I believe him.

I take another peek at him and this time he does look familiar.

He smiles at me. "We go to the same school. My name is Paris."

Paris.

"Thank you." I tell him. If he hadn't been here I don't know what I'd have done to stop the man.

"Is that a hickey?" Warren's voice makes everyone stop and look at me. The silence is deafening and I look at the floor. I can't tell them. I don't even know them.

"Alexandra what is that?" Damien asks calmly but he's staring at me. I don't like when people stare at me.

"Was it Logan? Is that why you were staring and asking questions about him?" Caleb asks in disbelief as he gets up from his seat and stops in front of me.

I thought he was the nice one.

"What?" Jonathan snaps as he glares at me. "I knew it." He scoffs. "I knew it. I told you to stay away from him and you did the opposite."
