The Cliche Story Of The Girl Next Door

twenty nine

Do you ever just have a feeling when you know something is wrong? Like something isn't right? Like you just have a feeling that makes your stomach churn and your heart race?

I can't shake those feelings as I walk down the crowded halls of the school. I cant help myself looking behind me every few seconds. Something just isn't right. I can feel it.

I try and distract myself by putting the books I will need in my bag. I squeal and jump when I feel someone's hands on my waist. I hear a deep chuckle from behind me and let out a shaky breath.

"Aren't you jumpy today?" Dustin says. I cover up my paranoia with a small smile. I playfully hit his shoulder and laugh.

"You scared me, you jerk." I say. He just laughs and sloppily throws an arm around me. I hide my blush and shut my locker. We start walking to our class in a comfortable silence. We sat in our seats toward the back and sat through a boring hour of class.

     *Jc's Point Of View*

"Yeah dude, she's hot right?" I heard in the locker room after gym. I usually don't pay attention to talk in the there but something told me to listen for some reason. 

There was a few yeahs that were said. I continued listening.

"Shes pretty dumb though. So as soon as I get what I want, it bye bye Ryan."  I heard a voice say.

My head snapped up to see the face of the voice. My eyes went wide and my blood boil when I saw Dustin getting pats on the back.

I held myself back and waited for everyone to leave. What did he mean? Get what he wants? Of course I knew what he meant, but why Ryan? Sweet, innocent, Ryan? My Ryan?

Hold up.

Did I just say my Ryan? I shook my head. Get it together Jc. She's not yours. And she never will be. You don't like her. Your just friends.

I waited until he was out in the empty parking lot to stop him. 

"Aye Dustin" i yelled.  Dustin looked confused when he saw it was me calling for him. I mean, I made it pretty clear I couldn't stand him. So why would I be calling for him?

He's in for a world of hurt.

"Uh- what's up?" He stuttered just a bit which means he's scared of me. That's good.

"Stay away from Ryan" I said in a low voice that even scared myself. I poked his chest, pushing him back a little. He looked shocked but soon regained his composure and smirked.

"I think it would be the other way around. You should tell her to stay away from me because she can't keep her hands off of me." He says cockily. I felt my face grow hot with anger. How dare he say that? Ryan is not like that. She doesn't just throw herself at guys.

"Shut up and stay away from her." I warned again. He just chuckled and shook his head.

"No. I don't think I will." He said. My blood started to boil and next thing I know he's on the ground.

That's funny.

My fist doesn't even hurt after that. Dustin held his head up to look at me and I smirked when I saw that his lip was bleeding.

"Do I need to tell you again?" I growled at him. I watched as he stood up and walked over to me, trying to be intimidating.

He is about as intimidating as a kitten without claws.

"You don't own her. I do. Okay? She doesn't even like you, she likes me." He says putting a finger on my chest.

Own her? He owns her? I had to stop myself from laughing right in his face. She's not property you can own. She's a person. And he thinks he owns her? That's halarious.

I slowly stepped out of the way when he attempted to punch me. I gave him a bored look that said 'really'. That only seemed to make him more mad.

"You'll never have her. I will. I'll have her any way I want, and any time I want." He says. Have her? That creep won't ever even walk to her after I'm done with him.

I felt my fist connect with his eye and he let out a groan of pain. He fell to the floor holding a hand over his eye. I sat on histomach and began hitting him more and more. I was so mad that he even spoke her name and now I can't stop. I heard yelling and felt the hands of people trying to pull me off of him. But I pushed them away and kept hitting Dustin.

Then there were red and blue lights.

"Ryan!" I heard my name being yelled as I was walking towards the cafeteria. I turned around to see Kyle jogging towards me. I waited for him to catch up with me.

"Whats up?" I ask him. He was breathing heavily and held up a finger telling me to wait, probably so he could catch his breath.

"Jc got arrested." He said. My eyes went wide.

"What?!" I screamed.
