Home Alone

Chapter two

I was walking down the hall, I am worried Keegan might tell someone, I do trust him, but this is major. Why are there so many people? They keep getting in my way, I am trying to protect the scar, but it is so hard with all these people. Ugh... I feel my phone vibrate so I took it out of my pocket and looked at it. The message read, "Better watch where you are going...-Unknown"

What was that supposed to mean?

I kept walking and I was turning my phone off. Then I ran into someone and fell back, "Oof-!"

"Hey! Watch where you are going you little whore!"

How does that make me a whore?... 'I-I apologize, I was just reading a text someone sent to me and I didn't seem to realize you were walking there..."

I could feel their glare so I looked up. "Hm, should I forgive you though?" They chuckled the grabbed the top of my shirt, managing to lift me up, I sort of yelped, I was surprised the shirt didn't rip or fall off.

"I-I swear I didn't mean t-to..."

"Oh really, maybe it would be better if you did..." He smirked and his face got closer to mine.

My eyes widened, I realized he was trying to... kiss me?! "P-please let me down...!"

Their lips got closer to mine and I closed my eyes tightly.

Not even a second later, I was on the ground hearing the dude let out a manly scream. What the Hell?

"God damn- how dare you, you little-"

Silence.

"Do not hurt or kiss my girl... uh... friend that is a girl"

"K-Keegan?" I looked up and for some reason, I started blushing.

Keegan picked me up and hugged me, "Don't worry Flora, I'm here for you"

I hugged him tightly, I don't know why, but I felt... different...

I suddenly looked around wondering what happened to that one dude, he was knocked out, and bleeding, "Huh?..."

"Oh, um, I may or may not have been a little too rough, oh well, he will be fine" I looked at Keegan and he smiled. Why the Hell was I blushing?

"O-Okay..."

"Awww, why are you blushing? That's so adorable!" He poked my nose.

"W-what?! It's n-not adorable, and how would I-I know why I am b-blushing?"

He laughed slightly. I looked him in the eyes, "Why don't you see how adorable you are?"

'Because I-I'm not, can we just not talk about this anymore?"

He chuckled, "Fine, fine"

Finally, the end of the day, I wonder what will happen tonight?

"Flora, let's walk to your house together so I can protect you." Keegan gave me a sweet smile, I blushed again and looked away.

"O-okay, thank you, Keegan..."

He gently grabbed my hand I blushed more, trying not to show it and he chuckled. We were walking out of the school, and many people stared at us and I heard some whispers, "Are they a couple?" "Flora and Keegan? No way". How could he stay so calm like this? People are obviously talking about us, doesn't he notice?

We kept walking and we saw a bus pass by, "Huh, people stare too much, don't they Flora?"

I was dozing off so it took me a while to respond, "Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, people do..."

"Something wrong? You seem like your brain is going to a different world or something."

"Uh, I am just thinking about what might happen..."

"It will be fine, don't worry. Just call me if you need me when I leave, okay?"

"Okay" I smile a little reassured that I will be fine now.

After a long time, we finally got to my house, "Be careful tonight Flora, remember, you have my number." He winked and chuckled.

"I know, thank you, Keegan... for everything" I kissed him on the cheek, why did I do that?!

His eyes widened and he blushed slightly, "Anytime"

"See you later" I waved.

"Yep, see you later" He also waved and started walking off.

I wonder what will happen tonight...
