Why didn't I see that coming? Why Leonel though? I don't get it.

I look back at Juan with shock written on my face. He looks back at me with a mix of emotions.

"Why didn't I see that coming?" I asked still shocked.

"I don't know, but I kinda saw it coming. I mean it would make sense, but didn't he bully you in like the 6th grade?" He said with a hint of anger.

"Yeah but I didn't think he continue to harass me even though it's been like 4 years."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day I saw Leonel in the hallway and he looked at me with a smirk on his face.

I walked past him as quickly as I could. I looked down at the ground and kept walking until I bumped into a hard wall.

"Whoa, Marie are you okay?" A familiar voice said.

I looked up and saw Chris.

"Yeah. Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going. I'm sorry Chris." I said apologetically.

"It's fine don't worry about it." He said with a smile and patting my shoulder in reassurance.

Suddenly I heard a growl. It sounded like it came from a dog. I guess Chris heard it too because he looked at me with confusion.

"Uh...I think I should walk you to class today because I haven't seen Clayton today." He said hesitantly.

"Yeah I think that'd be best." I said.

After he walked me to class I didn't think about the growl in the hallway anymore. I was thinking about one thing though. Clayton.

I just couldn't get him out of my head. His smile, that sweet smile that holds so much happiness. His eyes, those eyes that you could get lost in so easily. His arms, those arms that could hold me forever and protect me.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the bell ring. Well. I made it through the day. Again.

I walked out of the school and towards my car. I began to drive home listening to the radio.

Once I got home, I went up to my room and did my homework. I know, i'm a nerd. After I was finished I looked outside to see it was dark outside.

But through the darkness I saw a pair of golden eyes. Eyes that would belong to a cat or a dog.

Just then did I hear a howl.

What is going on?
