As I'm following him through the hallways something doesn't feel right. I have a bad feeling in my gut usually my gut feelings are right but I brush it off as I'm probably just nervous.
"Umm... So are we almost there?" I ask timidly
"Yeah just a little further." Jake states.
"Oh, ok." I reply 'This is really kinda awkward, neither of us are saying a word'
"So this is kinda awkward huh?" He asks I'm a little shocked it's like he read my thoughts.
"Yeah I guess it is a little." I state still kinda shocked.
"Sorry, I just don't normally, you know, talk or anything to the new kids." he manages to spit out.
"Then why are you helping me?" I ask timidly
"Well, I, you know, it's just, uhhh.." he tries to stutter something out.
"Hey, it's fine if you don't have an exact answer, I was only thinking out loud." When I say this he seems surprised then starts to relax a little.
"Yeah, ok thanks." He thanks me. The feeling in my gut still won't go away. It's weird. Then I notice it, he's leading me towards a group of girls. Then I know what's up. He wasn't just being nice it's a trap.
"Oh, lookie what the cat dragged in." One of the girls says, the others laugh, including Jake, it hurts a little. No a lot, it hurts a lot.
"I see now, bullying me on my first day of school, so cliche." I spit out and glare at Jake.
"Ah, I see this one has a tongue,doesn't she now?" Another one of the girls' says
"Yeah I do, now if you don't mind I'll be going now." I state then try to leave but to no avail.
"Yeah, sorry we can't let you do that, so...you're staying right here."
The first girl says.
"Hmmm? And why not?" when I ask this they all get this devilish smirk, though I can't say it didn't scare me. They're a group of about 5 girls and a guy all against me, it's a little exciting a real fight for once. So two of the girls hold me down making sure I can't fight back. Then by some miracle a teacher walks by and they all scatter like mice.
"Hey are you ok?" When the teacher asks this I feel like I'm gonna cry, but I don't, I can't cry in front of a stranger, so I hold back and nod at her. Ok so now it's about lunch time, and I'm starving. I go to the cafeteria and then I see him, Michael. I almost cry right then and there. I straight to him
"Michael!!" this doesn't get his attention. "Big Brother!!!" I scream he turns to me.
"Sarah? Hey what's wrong?" He asks this but I don't answer I just hug his torso and cry. I can hear him and his friend talking they don't know I can hear their conversation though.
"Hey I never knew you had a little sister!" Michael's friend whispers.
"Josh, you idiot, she's not my actual little sister. We're really cousins but we've acted like brother and sister since we were kids so, yeah." Michael reassures Josh.
"Ok, cool do you know if she's single,she'd got a nice body and a pretty face. You know I could use a girl like that." When Josh says this I'm a little taken aback but it doesn't stop my tears.
"Josh I swear to god if you ever so much as flirt with her I will murder you, got that?"I can hear the anger in Michael's voice it's almost scary.
"Ok, ok I got it. I won't try to flirt with her, but I won't stop her if she tries to flirt with me." I really want to retort but I'm too embarrassed and still crying.
"Josh get outta here ok? I need to handle this I might have to take her home." Michael says this firmly then I hear Josh walk off. "Sarah? Hey what's going on? You know you can tell me."
"There...was this boy....and he...." I tried to talk but I couldn't stop crying.
"Ok, come on we'll go outside and talk." When he say's this he starts to lead me outside, then to his car. "Now you're going to be ok it's only me here. Just you and me. No one else."
I take a deep breath. "There was this boy this morning who took me to my class, then he was waiting for me after class, and offered to take me to my next class. Instead he led me to this group of girls, that tried to beat me up. Fortunately a teacher came by before anything really happened. Then when I saw you I just broke down." After I say this Michael reaches over, hugs me, and pats my back.
"Hey but you're ok now. I'm here I'm not going to let anyone else hurt you. Even if I have to walk you to all of your classes." the words he says are comforting.
"Ok. I think I'm ok now." I say then wipe the remainder of the tears of my face.
"Yeah you are, wanna know why?" this is a rhetorical question. "Because You're a Darklit!!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." I give in to his weirdness.
"Want me to take you home for now?" he asks with full concern. He starts the car then realize even if I did wanna go back I have no choice.
"I don't have a choice do I?" I ask
"No not really." He replies like he isn't technically kidnapping me. He then drives me home where I crawl into bed and take a nap, cause in all honesty I think I both need, and deserve one.
So? How'd you like it? I mean I thought it was good but, this one's a bit short. There will be lots of more chapters, so kinda like short but many, right? I'm thinking about changing the 'Hello my beautiful bookworms' thing what do you think? Anyway I think I both need and deserve a nap too, with all of this writing and school. Well anyway Bye Bye, Loves Ya!! <3
