"What did you do that for?" I yelled at him. We were back at my dorm now. 

"He kissed you!" 

"That doesn't mean you can just punch and kick him!"

"He deserved it!"

"I don't bloody care! You don't own me! I can do whatever I want! Maybe I should go on that date with him!" I clenched my fists.

"Then go! See if I care!"

"Fine! Get out!" I screamed. He looked hurt then stood up. I thought he would be heading towards the door, but he came towards me. I backed up, he was much stronger than me, there would be no point in going in a hand fight with him. I backed up towards the wall. 

He was so close now, his eyes were burning with anger. I glared back, this guy comes strolling in and think's everyone listens to him. "Get out." I whispered and he pulled away and slammed the door behind him. 

I changed into my pjs and went straight to bed.

I woke up and was glad that the sound of the alarm wasn't the first thing I heard in the morning. I stretched and the memories from last night faded. I was meeting Hunter in an hour. I freshened up in the bathroom. I got changed into a t-shirt and jeans. I decided to go for a walk before having to deal with Hunter. Anything to avoid Alex.

There were a few people on campus, they're all gone enjoying their weekends. I smiled, it was so peaceful. No Alex, Noah or Hunter. After a long walk I saw Hunter waiting by the front gate. I took a deep breath and approached. There's a limit to the amount of stupidity a person can handle. 

He saw me and smirked, "How's your bodyguard?"

"Don't, now let's go." I walked right past him. 

He caught up and took my hand in his, "We are on a date anyways." I rolled my eyes but didn't pull away. Right now, I would prefer to be with Hunter than Alex.

We walked down the street, passing girls all giggled when Hunter smiled at them. I was in plain hell. We got to the restaurant, it was a simple and casual place. Hunter had booked us a room and it was sound proof and quiet. 

"M'lady." He pulled out a chair and I sat down and he pushed it in. He sat down opposite of me and smirked. 

"So, how do you feel about me?"

"Disgusted."

"I'm hurt, I think we would be perfect." He reached for my hand but I pulled away. The waitress came in and instantly started flirting with Hunter, and Hunter smiled which encouraged her. I rolled my eyes. Then obviously more teenage girls came it. It got so crowded that I didn't think Hunter noticed me when I slipped out. 

I sighed and left the restaurant. I headed for the local park and decided to spend the rest of my morning there. Until I had to meet Noah again.

I found myself a quiet spot under a tree. I sat down and closed my eyes. 

"I'm sorry Susie." My eyes flashed open and I saw Alex in front of me.

"Why are you here?"

"That's not important, can you forgive me?" 

"Fine, but promise me that you wouldn't be that protective ever again."

"I promise. Why are you here? Aren't you meant to be on a date with Hunter?"

"I gave up, lets just say, the waitress was taking really slow to take our orders." Alex laughed and took my hand in his,

"Susie." Then he leaned in and I cursed myself when I did too. When our lips contacted, a sudden flow of energy flowed into my fingers. My body moved on it's own. I reached for the dagger and swiped. It pierced through Alex's left arm. I pulled away and I frantically dropped the blood stained dagger onto the grass.

"This was a bad idea. I'm sorry, stay away from me." Alex was clutching his arm, his fingers were covered in blood. I picked up the dagger and ran, not looking back.

"No! Susie, wait!" Alex called behind me, but I kept running.
