ALL FOR YOU

CHAPTER 7: Watch Your Step Sweetheart

Samantha's pov:

Tomorrow, sit with me during lunch. Ethan's voice kept playing over and over in my head, why should I do what he says just because he says so, it's not like he owns me or anything like that. And talk about bossy, a simple please sit with me during lunch would have totally done it. I brought my head up just in time to see Aiden stench forth his legs, tripping me. But surprisingly, he caught me by my hand before I could fall. Thank God, I wasn't ready for a face surgery just yet. I gained my stance and shot him a glare which he seemed to be totally unaffected by.

"watch your step Sweetheart" he said with a smirk.

"are you seriously going to deny tripping me" I asked and he shook his head.

" No, I was just informing you. You are going to be tripping a lot from now on, but don't worry, I'll protect you". Okay I didn't just hear the last part right. He was going to protect me?, protect me from what. I shook my head and tried walking away, but he set his foot out and I tripped for the second time. He caught me again. I pulled my hand from him forcefully which was a terrible idea seeing that I lost my balance and I fell, but to the ground. Two large arms caught me and I looked up to see Ethan glaring muderously. The look in his eyes were frightening, even Aiden looked scared. Without a word, Ethan picked me up and carried me into the school, with all the students in the hallway staring at us. I flushed bright pink.

" I warned you to stay away from him" he said as he set me on my feet. I opened my mouth to speak, but he caught me off.

"and don't tell me that you're not afraid of him. I know you stood up to Thelma, but aiden's a lot different, he inflicts major pain and leaves marks people. He'll hit you mercilessly and whoever tries to defend you until he sees blood." he said and I couldn't help but doubt him.

"that can't be right, just a few minutes ago, he said he was going to protect me-"

" that was a warning. Who exactly do you think is going to be tripping you. Damn it, just how clueless are you" he yelled and a few people gathered around us.

" I think you've got the wrong idea about him" I said. Wait why the hell was I defending Aiden.

"I don't want to see you get hurt, but I won't interfere if you get tangled in aiden's business." he said and with that, he stormed off.

Ethan didn't say a word to me in chemistry even though we shared the same seat. It was way awkward than when he didn't speak to anybody. Should I apologize? Wait, I didn't even do anything wrong, at least none that am aware of.

"miss Smith!" my chemistry teacher yelled and I jumped in shock"

"what!" I yelled back and he stare at me."yes sir?" I corrected myself immediately.

" I asked if you could tell us the number of moles for the acid and base in the reaction". What. When did you ask that.

"two and one respectively sir" I answered without stress.

"you are correct, but try to bring your attention back to what we're doing here. Yes?"

" yes sir" I answered.

I picked up my lunchbox and took a seat where I sat when I first got to this school. I was going to seat with Ethan but he seems like he's not in a good mood today. I started to eat just as a guy with glasses stepped up beside me. I recognized him as the tech nerd for my first day. He had a tray in his hand, and he moved in front of me.

"You are in my seat" he said and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"what? "

" get up" he said.

"Look here" I said, dropping my fork.
