Players Girl

Chapter 41: Blue Eyes

RING

"No no no no no no no no no, I can't go see him. I mean she could be lying right?" The entire period I've been raking my hands through my hair trying to convince myself it was fine. I knew what was going to happen when I entered that classroom. I was so happy until Alyssa told me the ex-boyfriend who hit me was back. I was not ready for the abusive words nor was I ready for his physical abuse. 

"Hey it's okay, you have Mason and I next period. Everyone who doesn't like you is in that period to though," we began walking to history. 

"No you don't understand I never finished the story. I beat the shit out of him and he crawled back to his truck. He yelled he'd come back and do me a number I'd never forget," I was starting to shake. We turned the corner where my class was and he put his arm around my shoulder.

"Come on Malia you have to face him," Aiden was right and my legs starting moving again. I needed to face the blue eyed monster eventually. 

"Okay I'm good," I smiled at Aiden and he let go. 

I walked in and heard his voice, he was talking to the teacher. His messy black hair and perfectly tanned skin was all I could see until he turned around. His blue eyes bore into mine with excitement. "Malia? Hey long time no see, it's been what a year?"

"Ya, hi Conner," I smiled and sat in the back. Alyssa was gone with Brittany in the corner with smirks on there faces. 

"Whose that?" Mason turned in his seat with his eyebrow raised.

"Malia can you show Conner around the school please? He's new here and I figured since you know him," the teacher called out.

"Ya of course," I smiled and walked away.

"Who is he?" I heard Mason turn to ask Aiden.

"It's not my place to tell," I was happy Aiden didn't tell him. He was right, it wasn't his place to tell it was mine. 

"Come with me, what is your next period?" I smiled at him. The door shut and his smile dropped as he grabbed my wrist and started pulling me down the hall.

"Conner! Let go of me," I started yanking my hand but as usual it was no use. 

"Malia," he slammed me against the lockers. "Whose Alyssa?" 

"Why do you care?" I felt the tears build up in my eyes. 

"Because she's clearly not your friend. I am really sorry about getting mad and hitting you, I'm taking kick boxing now. It's really helping," he let go of me.

"I'm happy for you," I smiled. "Why are you here?"

"Well I thought that you were getting hurt and you know how I get all protective over you. Anyways Alyssa and Brittany wanted me to come and see you, you know beat you. I swear I've changed," his eyes bore into mine but I saw the humor.

"Look I don't think you've changed at all, but I need to get to class. Nice seeing you again Conner," I went to leave when he grabbed my arm again.

"You aren't as stupid as you used to be huh? Well that's fine because your right. Kick boxing is barley doing anything and instead of hitting you I've been hitting walls. They don't cry or scream or yell like you do," he slammed my shoulder into the locker.

"We are on school property," I hissed at him.

"Ya I noticed Malia," I used to love the way he said my name but now it disgusts me. 

"Well why are you doing this here?" my shoulder was thumping with pain. We heard footsteps coming this way and Conner pushed me into an empty classroom. He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall.
