The closer we got to school, the more I started to wonder about this boy. He seems so chill in the little time I've gotten to know him. I don't know why he had a shell to everyone else. He was being nice to me.
We arrived at school 10 minutes later. I went to open the door, but I immediately got pushed into my seat.
"Stay.", Maliek said.
I scrunched my face up at him. As he got out the car, everyone outside looked at him. They watched as he walked over to my side of the car and reached for the handle. I looked at him with a worried expression.
"What are you doing?!", I mouthed.
He looked at me and smirked. His hand grabbed the handle and pulled the car door open.
Blocking the view from everyone looking, he whispered, "Stay quiet. Walk next to me. Stay with me and my boys. We're changing your schedule so we have the same classes. If you see your friend, grab her and tell her to not talk. Do anything else, you'll be sorry." He grabbed my backpack and pulled on my wrist, pulling me out of the car.
I was confused. We were just laughing and communicating like normal human beings. Now, he was a completely different person. I got out the car and walked right beside him, doing as he said. The closer we got to the school doors, the more people started looking at us.
All I could focus on was the whispers surrounding me. "Why is she with him?". "Is he carrying her backpack?". "Are they together now?". All of it was to much for me. I started to walk fast. The faster I walked, the tighter he held my wrist.
When we walked into the school building, the whispers only got heavier. "Wow, she just moved here and she already has him?". "I guess we know what type of girl she is.". "I've been trying to get with him for weeks.".
When we got close to my locker, he handed me my backpack and approached Brooke. He whispered something in her ear and she immediately hurried to my side. She eyed me, but I ignored her.
Maliek opened my backpack and unlocked my locker. How did he know my code? I could've sworn I didn't tell him. He grabbed my books, but organized them in a different order than my original schedule. After he finished, he grabbed my backpack and started walking again.
I followed close behind, with Brooke and I linking arms. After a while, we met up with his friends. They scrunched their eyebrows at him. He snickered and continued to walk with his friends walking behind us.
We arrived at the front office and I noticed the staff members tense up at the sight of him.
"G-good morning Mr. Maliek. H-how m-may I help you.", said one of the office staff.
"Change their schedules to ours.", he said in a annoyed tone.
"I-I'm sorry. I can't do that.", she responded.
Maliek chuckled and walked over to the woman.
"Listen, I said change their schedules. Now, you do want to keep your job right?", he said.
I couldn't believe he was acting like this. I get that his dad is the school's biggest funder, but this was ridiculous. I couldn't just stand there and let him treat her like this.
"Maliek, stop being a prick. Leave her alone. It's not that serious."
He turned around to look at me. To be honest, I was scared. He brought his arm up and wrapped it around my waist. He smiled at me and said, "Sorry buttercup. I'll try again.". He walked up to the lady again, still holding me. I noticed a dimple in his cheek when he smiled.
"I'm sorry. I was being disrespectful. Could you please change their schedules to ours.", he said sarcastically.
I scoffed and looked at the lady with an apologetic look. The woman stood up and started to change them. Thirty minutes later, our schedules were like theirs. We walked out the office and headed to our first class. I noticed his arm was still around me.
When we got in class, I sat down in my seat and began to take my notes. I thought the situation in the office was going to be the only one. I was wrong.
