A Killer Loves Me

Chapter Twenty-Three

I hit snooze and head to the bathroom. An hour later I'm downstairs eating a bagel, waiting for Connor to get ready to take me to school. He comes out 5 minutes later and we head off to the school.

When we get there I just awkwardly walk to my locker avoiding everyone. On my way to first period I see people pointing at me and whispering things, so I walk faster and quickly take my seat.

I usually sit by Haley in this class, but instead she's sitting across the room by some of her other friends.

I just put my head down and zone out during the teachers lecture. Then I hear Mrs. Darkens calling my name so I jolt my head up.

"Ms. Carson is my lecture interrupting your sleep?" She asks. "I wasn't-" I start. "Just answer my question." She says as she cuts me off.

"No ma'am. I'm sorry." I say. "Good. Pay attention for the rest of the class or you'll be paying attention during detention." She tells me then continues her lecture.

I stare blankly at her for the rest of the period. When the bell rings I'm the first out of the class. I grab my stuff for my dance and yoga classes, then head downstairs.

After I get dressed in my yoga pants and tank top I head into yoga class and see that the only empty mat is infront of Steven, one of the only guys in this class, he's a player and a total pervert.

I awkwardly take my place as the instructor comes in. As we're doing the different stretches and positions I can feel Stevens eyes on me.

After class I just sit off to the side, since I wear the same thing for dance next period. Steven comes walking over and talks to me.

"I never noticed how great of an ass you have Abbi." He says as his eyes rake my body, with a smirk plastered across his face. "Go away Steven. I'm not in the mood for your nonsense." I tell him.

"Come on Abbi. You really do have a nice body. You should let me take that body home with me tonight." He says seductivly. "Only in your dreams." I say.

"Well all of my dreams come true. So sooner or later you'll be in my bed." He says as he walks away.

A chill runs through my body as his words sink in. I have to admit he's hot, but he's not my type. So his words just make me feel creeped out and disgusted.

After a demanding dance class I get changed and head to lunch. I sit off to the side at an empty table.

I notice that all of my friends are staring at me from our normal table. I look up and see Steven sitting down across from me.

"What do you want?" I ask rudely. "I just thought you might want someone to talk to. Although I don't see how guys aren't swarming you. Maybe they just haven't seen you in the positions I have." He says as he winks at me.

"Whatever." I say as I look away from him, but there's a slight blush to my cheeks.

I hear heels clicking loudly coming in my direction. I look up and see Monica(queen bee of popular crowd) walking towards me.

She stops right in front of me and gives me an evil glare as she stares at Steven. She's always wanted him but he doesn't want her, so she's pissed about any other girl talking to him.

"What are you doing talking to her?" She asks disgustingly. "You know you're just mad because she's hotter than you'll ever be. And I'd rather have her over you any day." Steven says which surprises both me and Monica.

"Excuse me?" She says. "You heard me." He tells her.

"You better stay away from him. Everyone you hang around dies." She says to me. "How dare you bring any of them up?!" I yell at her as I stand up.

"You know it's true. If I was your sister I'd kill myself too to get away from you." She says. "You did not just say that!" I yell as I get up in her face.

"Yeah I did." She says back. I look over to my friends but see them hurrying out of the cafeteria, so I guess I'm all alone. I go to lunge at Monica but I feel hands grip me from behind.

"Calm down Abbi." Steven says from behind me as his grip tightens on me to keep me still. "Let me go Steven! Let me kill her!" I yell.

Monica just flips her hair and walks away. Steven let's me go and I turn around and glare at him.

"Why won't you just leave me alone! I could have beat her ass!" I yell. "Abbi you know you can't do that. Why won't you just let anyone help you?" He asks.

"Because!" I yell. "Well I work for what I want! And I want your fucking body!" He yells.

I give him a dirty look and storm away. I get to my 4th period late, so everyone stares at me as I walk in.

"Why are you late Abbi?" Mr. Koontz asks. "There was a problem in the cafeteria." I tell him.

"Ok. But next time I'll have to give you detention." He says as he continues on with the class. I just daydream the whole class.

As I'm sitting on the steps after school, waiting for Connor to come and pick me up, Pat sits down next to me. He's the only one that's talking to me right now.

"What was all that about in the cafeteria?" He asks. "You wouldn't know because you ditched." I say angrily.

"I'm sorry I just didn't want to get in Monica's way." He says. "Wow! Steven will stand up for me but not you! How pathetic!" I yell as I stand up and go over I Connor who's just arrived. I jump in the car and tell him to drive.

"Can you take me to the park?" I ask. "Yeah why?" He asks back. "I just haven't been there in a while, and I need to relax." I tell him.

He drops me off and I go over to the swing set as he drives away. I sit on the swings and just rock slowly back and forth as I think about all the things happening in my life.

After a while I look up and see Connor sitting on the swing next to mine. "Didn't think I'd leave you alone, now did you?" He ask.

I laugh and we have fun at the old park for the rest of the day.
