Pretty Hurts

Chapter 8

Miranda P.O.V.

  One more period until I have to go home & be harassed by the one I call mother. Sitting in Biology watching the clock take a year & day to go around once. Not concerned at all with what Ms. Cap is saying, I take me phone out. Seeing I have a message from Vanessa, I open it. The message said: Miranda, I need to talk you after class. Wondering what she wants to talk about..

  *DINNNGGG* last bell of the day as it rings in joy. I stand up, gather my things. Says goodbye to the teacher & makes my way out of the class. Walking as fast as I can to my locker I am slowly but surely interrupted by a human brick wall standing over me. As I look up to the three miles it took to look at his face. Notice that it's the same guy that ran into me, hours before. "So, this is what you do? Run into innocent citizens & look down on them without introducing yourself?" I said with more attitude then intended. The brick wall smiles at me, & grabs my hand that was firmly on my side. "I'm sorry ma." Kisses my hand gently. "My name is Maurice Shields, & yours beautiful?"

  It seems as my body didn't even warn me that is was going to get all goofy. His angelic voice hypnotized my mind. "Miranda. Miranda Varner." Taken my hand back, & placing it where he found it. "So, are you new here? Haven't seen you around before." Maurice looks down, as if he's ashamed of his answer. "There you go! I've been looking everywhere for you. You was supposed to meet me." Vanessa running up to me, interrupting my conversation. "On that note, I'm going to get going. Nice meeting you, Miranda." Watching him walk away, I turn towards Vanessa. "What's so important?"

Authors Note: Sorry, this is a short chapter. But, I've been busy lately.. More to come soon. I promise.. :)
