I entered the crowded hallway of my school intending to avoid every one. I quickly approached my locker and took out my books.

I could feel the stinging pain in my hands,but I ignored it. I turned around swiftly,dead set on getting to class, when I hit something hard and collapsed on the floor.

“fuck", I muttered annoyed.

I quickly got up and got my books, not paying attention to the person I bumped into.

I stood up and realized that I had bumped into Keval. Ah fuck.

“I'm so sorry.", he said.

“it's okay.", I replied, before moving around him to walk away.

It wasn't easy however, because he yanked  my hand,  where the  cuts were.

“ahhhh!", I screamed in pain.

He quickly let go before giving me a puzzled look.

“sorry,"

I looked down at my white hoodie and I could see the sections that covered my wounded hand, slowly get red with blood. My blood.

I started to panic as soon as I came to that realization. The only person who knew that I cut my self was Crissy and of course, Tyler.

“what's that?", he asked.

“what's what?", I asked playing dumb.

He rolled his eyes.“on your sweater, Einstein."

Before I knew it, he was about to grab the sleeves of my sweater. I quickly jumped back and crashed into a wall behind me.

To my surprise, both me and the wall fell to the ground. I've been against walls before and never in my life have I felt a muscular wall.

Wait, what?

“ow. Get the fuck up.", I heard the wall groan.

I hurriedly got up and turned to look who I bumped into. I quickly turned around and saw Xavier getting up off the floor.

“hey, your not a wall", I whined disappointingly

“yea. Whatever.", I grumbled.

“so, Ri. Want to hang out after school?"

“sure. How about we start now? Let's go.", I hurriedly said to Xavier.

“you're not going anywhere.", I heard Keval snapped angrily.

“why?", I asked with a confused

“because we're not done talking.", he answered

“we have nothing to talk about", I said with finality before storming off.

I quickly made my way out of the school, not feeling like going to classes, with Xavier trailing behind.

I made my way to my car and got in with Xavier following suit. No one said a word and I just started to drive around aimlessly.

“so you and Keval huh?", Xavier finally spoke after the deafening silence.

“what do you mean?", I Asked with a confused frown.

“are you two a thing or something?", he elaborated.

“I'll go with something."

“Paris.", he groaned.

“Xavier.", I answered.

“seriously though, are you two dating?"

“no! Are you drunk on stupid?", I exclaimed.

He rolled his eyes.“I'm just asking. Okay? Because you clearly like him."

“no I don't, dufus. Why do you care so much anyway?"

“because he's bad news."

“and you aren't?", I asked annoyed.

“what do you mean?"

“just drop it."

“look, I'm just saying, just because your a powerful cold hearted gang leader it doesn't mean your not human. You're still  a sixteen year old girl and wether you like it or not, you will get hurt. Again."

I didn't answer him. I couldn't answer him. He was right. Every time I get close to someone, I  always get hurt. But that wasn't why I didn't answer. I couldn't answer because I was hit with the ugly truth.

I like Keval Terrace and I was in deep shit.
