Chapter 5:

Big deep brown eyes faced me and my first reaction was to scream but he had his hand over my mouth already. It was no other than JC. Which made me even more terrified. I saw girl next to him laughing. What the hell is wrong with her? Wouldn't she help me.

" Haha dumb bitch" JC laughed darkly. No one has ever called me that before... I know Connor wont be here to save me this time. I had to save myself. I bit down on his hand as hard as I could until I heard him yelp and let go. I tried to run but he already had his hand on my wrist. Again.

" Damn, we just wanted to have a little fun." The brunette girl teased pretending to frown.

" You got seem teeth on you blondie. But you can't escape from me." He stated looking into my eyes. I quickly look away.

" Leave me alone. I won't tell anyone." I mumbled thinking if I should scream again.

" I don't care if you tell the whole world Victoria.Your'e never getting away from me. I even switched my schedule to your cooking class. You're welcome." He smirked.

" JC can we pleaase go now" The girl sounded unpatient, hopefully losing interest in me.

" Shut up Katyln. I'll tell you when we are leaving." JC called back. That was Katlyn? I looked back at the small brunette girl who was wearing skinny jeans and a tight black tank top with some white pattern on it. She had thick eyeliner around big green eyes. She was very pretty.  I could see why Sam was upset losing her.

" What are you looking at?" She snapped at me.

"N-nothing." I looked down. What the hell is his problem. JC lets go of me but I don't bother to run yet.

" Of course you would try out for the cheer team" He said amused. I Ignore him and quickly walk back into the gym where they're witnesses.

" Hey! I'll see you later babe!" JC yelled. Oh god I had enough of that boy. I don't ever want to see those empty brown eyes or the devious smirk again.

The gym has gotten more crowded and I see a girl on the court chanting some words and doing small moves. I'm number 4 so I sit down try to stretch.

My phone went off. At first I was startle. Could JC gotten my number? With him, anything is possible.

My phone lights up with:

Connor: Hey Vic! I'll be in the gym in 5 mins. I can't wait to see (:

My stomach settles down and I let out a breath. I wasn't use to my phone going off.

As if on que, Connor comes walking in looking almost like an angel. He waves at a few people until he finally spots me. He grins bigger and walks toward me.

" Hey superstar!" He sits next to me.

" H-hey" I try to smile, but all on mind right now is JC attacking me.

" Whats wrong?" He frowns.

" Oh um nothing. Just nervous" I try to give him a smile. He buys it.

"Oh don't worry! You're going to do great."  He patted my hand. 

" Number 4! " Megan yelled. She saved me from that red face. 

" I promise you will make it" Connor stands up with me and surprises me with a hug. Man does he smell good. But he lets go to soon and I rush down before I could say anything stupid. His arms felt so... protective. I wish I could tell him about JC but that might make JC even more angry and hurt me for it.

I get onto the court. I try to pretend people aren't watching me, but I can't but freeze. Take a deep breathe, I remind myself. You are the new Victoria. I think of Connor's warm tight hug and smile. She chants some words at me and I chant back. Then she gives me small dance moves. Lucklily they were very simple. I didn't have to do any crazy tricks like i've seen in movies. Megan gives me a smile and tells me that im finish and they will post who made it tomrow.

" You were great!" Connors arms were around me again. I hugged him back trying not to act like i've never been hugged by a boy before.

" Thanks. But I'm sure a lot of people were better." I take a sip of my water.

" Nonesense! You were terrific"

" You really think so?"

" I really think so" He smiles and I smile back.

" I will see you tomorrow Victoria. I'm really glad I saved you from JC this morning." He said looking at me then smiling, looking away.

" I am too." He had no idea how happy he saved me from that monster.

He starts walking out while I walk the opposite way smiling. This is year will be perfect. Im sure JC will get tired of harassing me and move on to a next poor victim.

I start walking toward my car when I see a figure leaning against the school wall smoking. It can't be... Yes. It was JC. He caught me looking then smirks and gives me a wink. I quickly get into my car and sped away thinking he might appear beside me again. Why would Katlyn ever want to be with JC instead of Sam? Maybe she wanted a bad boy. Hah idiot.

I pull into my driveway when my phone goes off. My heart flutters. Connor texted me already? He must actuall like me.

But my heart drops as soon as I open the message.

661-234-9932: Glad you arrived home safely. I LOVE your house. Good thing daddy isn't home (;

I quickly look around. No one was in sight, I have no doubt that it was JC. He must've gotten my phone when he grabbed me. I really need to put a pass code on it. 

I sprint into my house and lock the door. He must be watching me somewhere if he saw me pull up..

I jump at the sound of my back door closing. Oh my god! I start to panic when my phone buzzes.

661-234-9932: Awe, you are so cute when you are freaking out. Just remember to lock your doors. Wouldn't want any to getcha. See ya tomo babe.

I run to the back door and lock it. and go to my room (lock my doors and window) and hop on my bed. And thought, I had no clue who I was dealing with.
