My Life is Far from Free

Chapter 7

There isn't anything more boring in school than math. Math sucks! But this math class seemed to draw the attention of all the boys and some girls. They were glued to the teacher. She looked in her twenties and had gorgeous features that most girls would die for. Her brown hair fell perfectly behind her. She had high cheekbones and long lashes that complimented her big blue eyes. She had the body of a model and I saw that today she decided to show some cleavage which didn't help the boys concentrate on what she was saying at all.

I looked around and saw Alex out the door. He waved to me and I nodded. He pushed his blonde hair out of his eyes and nodded back. I raised my hand, "Yes, Chris?" the teacher asked. "Can I go to the nurse?" She looked at me carefully and i tried making it look like i was sick as much as possible and she bought it, she nodded allowing me to leave the room.

"So what? Now you got my classes memorised?" I asked Alex and he laughed. "That is my job!" he replied before grabbing my hand and running down the hall.  We ran inside the girls locker room and he pushed me against the wall. He got close enough to me where I could feel his breath against my skin. He reached for my neck kissing it and moving any hair that got in his way. He pressed his hands on my body and reached under my shirt. I stopped hig hands before he could go too high. "No" I said between breaths. He got my message and continued kissing my neck. He traveled up reaching to my lips. He pressed hard and slid his tongue inside. He traveled every part of my mouth when we heard a noise. He heald my mouth so I wouldn't make a sound. "Keep quiet" he told me before leaving to find the sourse of the sound.

"Hey, you are the new girl right?" A tall girl walked in. She looked like a geek but if she had lost the glasses and maybe put a dash of eyeliner on she could stop a bus.  She could totally attract some guys. "Yeah" I answered. She took her hand out and I shook it. "I am Becca." She claimed.

"Chris" i replied. She smiled and I walked out, I didn't want to talk much. The bell rang and I realised that I only had one more class. It was my favorite class in my old school. I wondered how different it would be. Art was always my way of escaping reality. The cold cruel reality that took my mother.

Each student in class was given a white board to paint on. I started to paint but I heard whispers behind me. "She was hitting it off with Alex, I can't believe he would kiss her!" The girls friend agreed and then saw me looking at them. "What are you looking at?" She asked cruelly. That, I couldn't refuse an answer. "you know, just some bitches who are too scared to say things to my face!"  Their jaws dropped and I returned to my painting. 

 "Nice, I'm Jack." A guy with light brown hair  and gorgous green eyes smiled at me. I smiled back "Thanks, I'm Chris."

"Chris," He took in my name. "I like it." I looked at his painting. It was amazing. He painted a pair of panthers yellow eyes alone  in complete darkness. Black sorounded them.

"Wow,  I love your painting" i exclaimed. He smiled and pointed to mine "Thanks, I like yours too." I looked at mine and frowned. I was painting a woman in pure light, She was painted with bright colors and I dropped my paint brush. "Thanks" I said trying to pick up my brush. The bell rang and everyone ran out the door but I was still putting away the brushes. I placed them under running water cleaning the paint off. "So do you want to hang sometime?" Jack held his brushes under the water and let them rinse. "Yeah," I replied "Sure."

...

""Are you ready to go?" I walked up to Jeff and asked him. He grabbed his bag and and looked at me. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. "Yeah lets -" He stopped talking and wouldn't stop looking at me. He looked at me like there was a bug on my neck. "What" I asked him. He slowly reached for my hair and pulld it awaay from my neck. His eyes widened with anger and he gritted his teeth.  "Who" he asked with so much power in his voice. It scared me, I backed up until my back was against the wall. He followed me with his eyes not leaving my neck. My neck had kiss marks and hickies all over it.  "Damn it! Tell me who!" He yelled. I moved my head away from him with my eyes closed. I had no clue what he was going to do and I didn't want to know.

"It's none of your business" I said barely making it out. I can't show fear, I wouldn't allow it.

Although, I haven't learned much from him, I knew the basics of getting away from someone. I kneed him hard and he bent down in pain. I took this as an opening to run away. I took my opening and ran off. I ran out of the school and into the woods.  There was fifteen miles in the woods between the school and my house, and I ran and ran. It was getting close to dark out when I got halfway. I sat down leaning against an old tree. Was I overreacting? Why is my life falling a part? I missed my mom.

"Chris! Chris!" I stood up and looked around. I saw Jeff, he was looking for me. He looked so worried and I could tell he felt sorry, but I just didn't know if I could believe him. I grabbed a thick, long branch closeby and studdered. "Come any closer and I will!" Jeff saw me and caught my eye. I was shaking and when I tried to stop I couldn't. He took a step closer and i screamed "Stop! Stay where you are!" He looked at me with so much sincerety. I was lost in his eyes, how could I still love him with what he did. 

All of the sudden, I saw Jeff come at me and take the branch out of my hands. I fell down and he fell ontop of me. "Chris," He said between breaths. "I am so sorry, I don't know what came over me." He touched my neck where Alex had kissed me and I flinched. His touch was intoxicating. "I am so, so sorry," he whispered. He leaned his head towards mine, I closed my eyes and felt his warm smooth lips press against mine.  I melted to his touch and he backed away, my lips felt lonley when his left mine. "I'm so sorry" he repeated as he got up off me. I stood up and caught my breath. I looked in his eyes and brought myself closer to his body. My arms wrapped around his neck and I kissed him. He relaxed and wrapped his arms around my waist bringing myself closer to him. It felt so right and I knew he felt the same way too. He pulled hisself away and held my hand. "Let's go to your house." He said with a smile.
