His Beautiful Witness.

⭐ Chapter 12: M.I.S

I thought I felt someone putting their hands through my hair last night. Or was I dreaming?

Presentation day was arriving soon as me and Kate prepared our notes. I noticed Bianca attempting to cozy up to Josh as she flirted with him. Josh laughed but tried not to look too interested. He noticed me watching him. He shot me a smile and put on a face as if he would rather be dead. I smiled at his expression.

While we were waiting for Mr Barret, he quickly came over to me. 'My house after school today?' I recalled the last time I was there. The cringeworthy moments. Now that I had training, I wasn't sure. 'Umm..I'm busy. What about the weekend?' He was a little disappointed. 'Um..ok. Whenever your free.'

Sam and his partner Reece was the first to go up. It was followed by Josh and Bianca. He tried to shrug off the constant eye flirting that was occurring, while we were unfortunately watching it. I felt like he did all the work while Bianca simply read it out. I rolled my eyes at her. She was trying so hard to sound smart. I purposely coughed. She glared at me, while Mr Barret was amused. 'Thank you Mr Sanders and Miss Hawkes. That was some wonderful insight you had there. I'm happy with your progress Bianca.' I rolled my eyes. ' Now can we have Rose Senara and Kate Gretchens up next.'

It was finally our time to shine.

I wasn't used to be being very confident when it came to speeches and presentations. I usually hated it. Kate understood my feelings, as if we had telepathic minds. She could sense whenever I was tense without even asking. She knew I was scared to talk to people. As my best friend, she commenced our talk. I bit my lip, as I stood there shaking with my paper. Kate finished her bit, till the attention was on me.

I looked at Josh, as he signalled me that everything would be okay. He made some weird facial expressions to comfort me. I couldn't help but smile. I cleared my throat and began.

'You did it! I can't believe you talked in front of everyone. I mean you've changed so much already.' Kate wouldn't stop jumping up and down. I hugged her. 'Thanks.' 'What's the secret? Josh.' I blushed. After our presentation, I couldn't stop smiling at him. I think Mr Barret noticed our little eye contact.

'Hellooo.' Kate waved her hand in my face. 'Thought so.' My cheeks went red. 'I'm just going to go to my locker. I'll be back.' I decided to take the other route, which was through the classrooms. There was another door that was the little storage room. Why I am mentioning that is because I was practically ambushed by someone in there. I muffled a scream, when someone placed a hand firmly over my mouth. A familiar cologne swept by. I sighed.

I bit his hand. He immediately let go. It was pitch dark, so I couldn't make out his form and features. Before I could utter a single word, he crashed his lips onto mine. Thank God I knew who it was, else I would have kicked him in the balls. But even then I would kick him either way. I tried to remove myself from him, but he persisted as his lips couldn't leave mine. His arms encircled my waist, pulling me closer. I screamed in his mouth, as he kissed me with more force. To be honest, I would have enjoyed it. But because I was pissed at him, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction.

I pushed him off. 'What the hell Hunter!!' He moved away. I raced for the light.

I turned around to face a complete stranger. He had sandy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He wasn't bad looking but wasn't as beautifully structured as Hunter. Except it wasn't him. And I just let a strange man claim my lips. Shit! What if I wasn't mad at him. I would have let him kiss me. He didn't even look like a student that attended Velvet High. He looked a little older and mature. He played with his lip.

'Your a fiesty one, aren't you. I wonder what your like in bed.' 'Who the fuck are you! And how dare you kiss me.' 'You let me in at the start.' 'I..I thought you were someone else. He wears the same cologne.' 'Hunter?' 'How did you know?' 'You just told me, missy.' I did. 'But who are you?' He leaned in close, as he reached my ear. With Hunter it was appealing, however this man's breath was intimidating. 'Tell him Rio came by. And that I had a taste of the girl he has been keeping a secret from me.' 'Who are you though?' 'Now we don't want to get to know eachother all at once. You love mysteries don't you. Well here's one for you.' His words sent a creepy chill down my spine. He didn't exactly look friendly. He moved away and left the room. I tried to catch my breath. I really wanted to rinse out my mouth. Who was this mysterious man and how was he related to Hunter. And was he talking about me? The girl.
