Bad Boy Kisses (Raura Revised)

Chapter 4

I was late, beyond late.

I push through the school doors trying to get all of my stuff organized all the while making sure not to run into anyone. This morning is just not mine. I spent all of last night thinking about Ross. Ross!!! I just can't get him out of my head and that face he had when I yelled at him for getting into a fight. "This type of fight, I would pick over anything any day." I shiver at his words that held a meaning. I just can't figure it out.

"Hey Laura!" I quickly wave a hand to the girl who greeted me still stuffing things into my bag.

"Hi Laura!" A friend of mine from class says smiling to me. I say hi back to him as I move past him and everyone else in the hallway to get to my locker.

More people say hi and I answer back as nicely as I can without snapping back. Me without sleep isn't the best combination and I don't want to take it out on these people. All they were doing was saying hi.

The bell rang indicating first period and the hallways emptied. Great now I'm extremely late. I run the rest of the way to my locker and smack right into it. God, I really need sleep. I put in my combination and pulled but my locker won't budge.

Shit! It better not be stuck! I pull again but nothing happens. Damn! I yank on it with both hands and it swings open making me stumble back and drop my bag.....making everything fall from it. Yup, today is just not my day.

I kneel down and start picking up my stuff while grumbling to myself. This is all Ross fault anyway. Making me think of him all night. Yeah, it's definitely his fault. "Need some help?" You know that saying 'Speak of the devil and he shall appear'? Well this fits perfectly. If it's not for the fact that it's a different devil.

"No!" I snap keeping my head down. He's already helped me enough.

"Don't be like that Laura." I feel him kneel down next to me and I stiffen. Why is he bothering me? I thought he was done with me when I found him sucking faces with that other girl? "You know you will always need me."

Is this boy stupid? I snap my head in his direction giving him an incredulous look. "You have got to be kidding me!" I snatch the rest of my stuff and stand up. Connor stands up slowly giving me a confused look. "Where in your mind did you get the idea that I needed you?" This guy is delusional.

He cocks his head to the side giving me a smile. What? Why is he smiling? "Babe, it's obvious that without me you wouldn't be who you are."

I've never been so insulted in my whole entire life. Where the hell was all this coming from? The years that I was with Connor he was never this full of himself! Did he really think that about me? Was I a project or something for him?

I have no way of responding. I mean what do you say to something like this? Connor must have realized that I'm speechless because he continued on talking. Not that I wanted him to. "Laura I didn't mean it like that. But think about it. Do you think that without me you would be friends with any of these people and popularity?"

This got me talking. "Connor before I even started dating you I was friends with these people! I don't give a shit about popularity either! And for you to think that I have this life because of you is absolutely absurd!" I scream glaring at him.

He eyes turn to slits and his lips thin. "You better watch the way you talk to me Laura." Excuse me?! He doesn't own me!

"Connor, I think it will be best if you leave. Now." I leave no room for him to fight me back but somehow he doesn't understand anything and just ignores me.

He pushes me up against the lockers with his body placing his hands on both sides of my face. Caging me in. "Why? So you can go and sneak off again with Lynch? Yeah you didn't think that I didn't see what happened yesterday in the parking lot right?" He looks me straight in the eye. "Your mine Laura. Mine fucking only!" He hisses.
