My Darling ♥

chapter 31

"sodium and chlorine?" Mrs. Weatherford called out.

I raised my hand "Ms. James?"

"sodium and chlorine make sodium chloride and it's a compound known as salt"

"do you know what sodium's atomic number is?"

"11"

"chemical symbol?"

"Na"

"atomic mass?"

"23.0"

"and chlorine?"

"17, Cl, 35.5"

"very good Ms. James" she said "now, I'm going to give you a molecular formula. raise your hand if you know what it is. C12H22O11"

I raise my hand.

"Mr. Manson?"

I look behind me, at Josh.

"that would be sugar"

"what is it composed of?"

"monosaccharides glucose and fructose"

"what is the scientific name for sugar?"

"sucrose, or sometimes saccharose"

"very nice" she said "now, what compound contains lignite and cellulose but has no chemical formula?"

I raise my hand.

"Ms. James?"

"wood"

"great. well, that wraps up today's lesson. the bell rings in three minutes. have a good day. see you all tomorrow" Mrs. Weatherford.

I close my notebook filled with notes and place it on my binder. I put my pencil, eraser and colorful pens in my pencil box and put everything in my book bag.

"you're smart" hunter says.

"thanks" I say under my breath.

"what's wrong?"

"everything"

"why?"

I stayed silent. thinking. why am I mad? who am I mad at?

"I don't know" I shake my head and cover my face with my hands.

he sighs and grabs my hands. he turns my chair so I'm facing him.

"is it me?"

is it?

"I don't know"

"you can tell me"

I bite the inside of my cheek and look him in the eyes.

"I'm not sure I can. I'm not sure I really know who you are. one minute you're being nice and sweet, then you turn into a hungry gorilla and you pounce on my like I have a banana in my hand, then you go back to being sweet and ask me what's wrong.? you're what's wrong" I shakes my hands away from his and walk towards the door.

he gets up and follows me "Liz-"

"just stop. please"

"liz-"

the bell rang and everyone rushed out the door. I thought I lost him in the crowd but as soon as a large, cold hand wraps around my wrist and pulls me to a wall away from everyone.

I try my best to get out of his grip. I claw at his hand with my nails. I try to pry his finger off. I twist my wrist every which way. nothing helps.

"stop fighting me. I just need to talk to you"

"I need to get to class"

"Liz!"

"hunter please. I need to get to class. I suggested you do the same"

"I don't care if I'm late"

"well I do!"

"just-" he sighs and starts walking and pulling me with him. he opens the janitor's closet and pushed me inside.

"I don't like this place. people do bad things in here. I need to get to class" I rush my words.

"Liz, calm down. I just want to talk"

"about what?"

"about.. us"

he move closer and grabs my hands. he links our fingers. I want to push away from him but the butterflies in my stomach deceive me.

"hunter-"

"Liz"

"i-"

"you can't. I know. but, is it because of Josh? are you guys even still together? cause if you are then I promise I'll back off"

"I don't even know if we're still together"

"so I have a chance" he smirks and moves even closer.

"ye- no- ye.. I don't know" I shakes my head and close my eyes.

"do you want to?"

"want to what?"

"be with me?"

"well, yes but-"

he cuts me off by kissing me.

damn. what is with this boy and kissing me!?

I push away "hunter, i-"

"no! if there is a chance we can be together I will spend all of my time trying to get you. you will be mine Elizabeth. I guarantee you will be mine. I don't care how long I have to convince you, I will get you. and you will love me just as I love you. I guarantee it"

I shiver at his words, but a little part of me got excited.

what have I gotten myself into?
