Dark Angels

Chapter 5

I sigh escaped my lips as I breathed in the familiar smell of chalk and old lady perfume. It was fourth period once again and I was doing my best to ignore James as much as I could all week. That wasn't hard though because we were testing. It was finally Friday and after the seventh periods bells ring, we would be free from this hellhole for a whole week. The bell rang dismissing us to lunch, I raced from my seat and down the hall before James had the chance to talk to me. I looked back to see his mouth ajar, moving up and down but no words found their way out. I smiled as I realized that leaving was easier than I thought it be.

****

It was finally the end of the day and thank god that our science teacher decided to take it easy on us so all we had to do was watch a movie. He dimmed the lights and began to put on an ocean life movie. I snorted out loud, so much for taking it easy. This was a trap. I was bound to fall asleep only to be given a detention for not paying attention. Ha that rhymed. I wiped my smile off my face and cleared my mind as soon as a paper ball hit the back of my head. Furrowing my eyebrows I opened it confused.

~~~~~~

"Hey angel, whats going on. Daydreaming about me? (;anyway we need to talk about our last date. Why are you avoiding me? After school meet at Northpark Mall."

~~~~~~

I looked over to my left and saw a smirking James. Sending him a death glare I balled up the paper and chunked it at him. It hit him square in his forehead and he let out a soft chuckle.

*****

It was 3:09 and I was now currently walking around the mall laughing and sharing jokes with James. This totally went against all the work I put into avoiding him. I know I'm going to regret it later but i'd rather live in the present rather than the future or past.

" Why don't we go in there and you can pick anything you like. I'll even buy it for you, but you have to model if for me first." James whispered as we passed a Victoria's Secret.

" In your dreams." I snorted while sticking out my foot hoping he would trip and fall. I failed miserably and tripped over my own foot. Just as I was about to hit the floor a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. He lifted me back up but I was still in his grip. Engulfed in the warmth, my body sent happy chills all over. My heartbeat was probably ten times faster than usual and no doubt about it that my cheeks were a hot pink shade.

" I could get used to this." he sighed

" Yeah well we don't have all day so." I said shrugging him off of me

" Okay but how about you come to a party with me tonight."

" That was more of a statement rather than a question. What are you going to about it if I don't want to come?" I smiled focusing on those deep blue eyes.

 His lips looked full and pink and were... COMING RIGHT AT ME! I took in a deep breath as his lips moved closer and closer to mine. I was put down when they passed and moved on to my ear.

"If you want me, all you have to do is ask." He whispered.

This jerk is NOT going to get the best of me. I'm going to get the best of him for once.

" I don't want you nor do I need you so you can get that image out of your head." I sang as I began trotting away into the nearest store. Point Me.
