Revenge Turns To Falling

Chapter 4: Panic

Picture of Dylan Keys

~D Y L A N ' S P O V~

I was walking down the hall to my next class when I see Meg running down the hall. I stopped walking and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Dylan!" She cries and runs behind me. She peeks out looking around.

"Meg, what's going-" I was interrupted by foot steps running down the hall towards us. I looked to see one of Ashton's friends with him. Meg squeaked in fear and coward behind me.

"Hey Keys. Mind moving out of the way?" The guy asked me. I was shocked for a second that he knew my name, but quickly shook it off.

"Well... first, I need to know what she did," I said glancing back at Meg who shyly smiled at me.

"Melanie and I may have done something to Ashton in the library..." Meg mumbled and let out a nervous laugh. I sighed.

"What did you guys do?" I asked almost afraid to know.

She let out a nervous smile. "We- uh- may have... um... dropped a really big book, scaring the crap out of Ashton and a girl he was sucking face with." She smiled. I started cracking up laughing. Ashton's friend gave me a glare, but I could tell he was trying not to laugh also.

"Now you know, so move Dylan." Ashton's friend said. Meg squeaked and hid behind me. I chuckled. I stood my ground though.

" What're you gonna do to her er... guy?" I questioned. He let out a small sigh.

"It's Jake. And that's for me to know and that cute little trouble maker to find out." He said peering behind me.

Meg decided to make a run for it, grabbing my hand and pulling me with her. I heard Jake start running after us. Meg and I were laughing while running past all the lockers. We turned a corner and saw an empty classroom. We were ahead of Jake, so we ran in there and quickly closed the door and ducked down.

We heard Jake run past the classroom shortly after. Meg and I were panting and laughing. Once we had calmed down and caught our breath, I looked down and notice that she still had my hand grasped in hers. She must've seen me looking at our hands because she let go and pulled her hand away while slightly blushing.

All of a sudden she gasped. "What's wrong?" I asked a little scared.

"Melanie!" Meg said as she stood up, opening the door with me following.

"Do you think she's ok? Ashton wouldn't do anything too bad right?" I asked. I was a little concerned, but he wouldn't hurt her..., right?

Meg and I ran down the hall. We turned a corner and crashed into Melanie. We all fell to the ground.

~M E L A N I E ' S P O V~

I ran into some people and crashed to the ground.

"Fuck. That hurt." I muttered standing up. I looked up and saw Dylan and Meg out of breath. I jumped on them, wrapping my arms around them.

"Thank goodness I found you guys! Oh my gosh!" I said and released them from my bear hug.

"Are you ok? What happened? What did he do? If he hurt you, I swear-" Meg was throwing questions at me, so I cut her off.

"Meg! I'm fine. We can swap stories later, but we have to get to class." I calmed her.

Meg, Dylan, and I had the same class. We all ran as fast as we could to math.

We ran into the classroom panting, earning everyone's eyes.

"You're all late." The math teacher, Ms. Wallace, said.
