The Bad boy with wings

Heart wants what it wants

I couldn't get my mind off what I had seen.... About who I had seen.  I couldn't remember his name for the life of me so when I got to school the next morning after the fire the night before I went to the library. The school year books were located at the front of the library where all the couches are. I grabbed a year book from the the small shelf sitting on the table in front of the couches and took a seat on the small one person couch. I started flipping through the pages when I came across beautiful dark black hair boy by the name of ace wayman. I was in aw that was definitely him. I knew I had seen him before. I leaned my head in closer and closer

"hmm"a sudden noise came from behind me.

I closed the book so fast hoping that who ever was behind me didn't get a chance to see who I was looking at.

"Ms.Andrea. Mr. Carmine would like to see you in his office right away please." It was the librarian. I was stunned I didn't know what to say. I had never been to the principals office before. The librarian kept staring at me with a puzzled look on her face.

"Uh ok... Umm thank you"

I didn't know what else to say. I couldn't think of any reason why I would be getting called down to the principals office. I slowly got up off my seat and walked towards the door to the hallway. Every thought started racing through my mind. I could feel my blood pressure raise up as I pushed the door open to the principals office.

"Have I done something wrong? Did something happen is everyone alright?" I felt so pressured I couldn't hold my self back from asking all questions that came to my mind. It was too much I have never been under this much pressure before.

" everything is fine, I just need to ask you a few questions" mr.carmine said in a nice calm smooth voice

A few questions? What could he have been talking about... "Ask me questions?"

"About the fire at the pizzeria last night. I was told by your friends about how you went back in to grab your purse and you were still in the diner when it caught on fire."

My heart started racing fast again. I knew where this was going and what the next question was going to be.

"While you were in there do you remember seeing anyone or what happened?" Mr.carmines eyes looked heavily into mine daring me to speak.

I didn't know how to respond I wasn't ready for this. I didn't want to rat ace and his friends out. I mean let's face it. He's gorgeous. And plus they are the bad boys of the school. That could reflect badly on my safety.

"The last thing I remember was being in the diner and grabbing my purse when I heard a big explosion and the fire came rushing towards me. And then a pipe had hit me in the head. And the next thing I know is that I'm waking up to see my friends standing in the parking lot around me."

Mr.carmines eyes searched through mine to see if there was a possibility that I was lying. I tried to cover it up really well. My heart slowed down. I made the right decision keeping there secret it is the best thing for everyone.

"Thank you Alexis for coming,you have always been a top A and excellent student. There is no reason why I shouldn't trust you. Thanks for your time , and I hope that head is ok?"

"It is,thank you mr.carmine."  I was relieved. I walked out of his office feeling happy that was over. Ugh I have never lied to a teacher before but this time I had to. After my Brain finally stopped going through the sanario with mr.carmine I finally went back to thinking about ace again. He is just so interesting. There's got to be more to him.

After thinking long and hard about it In all of my classes I finally decided I was going to confront ace. The lunch bell rang and I walked into the cafe looking to see where ace could be.

"Hey Lexi..... I haven't seen you all day where were you this morning?" It was Jocelyn

"Hey joce... Oh I just slept in a little to late." I lied. I didn't want to risk them finding out that it was ace that had set off the fire.

" okay sleepy... Hey look there's our group lets go and join them."Jocelyn directed us over to our usual table in the middle of the cafe. We joined up with the others

James was the first to speak. "Hey bright eyes"

"Hey James" I spoke in a quiet voice. Immediately after James had said that to me everyone took there regular seats. "Well it's the second day of school guys how is everyone feeling?" This time it was Casey speaking.

Where was ace? I was looking through the corners of my eyes trying not to make it obvious that I was looking for someone.

Suddenly the back door of the cafe swung open and Ace and his gang hustled in moving towards the food court. They were all talking and laughing like nothing had ever happened last night. I couldn't help but wonder why I had never seen them or Ace. I guess this was the first time I had actually looked around In the cafe, usually I would be so absorbed in homework or my group........ My gosh besides the fact that I had never noticed ace.... Damn I sure notice him now.... His dark black fluffy hair the way it just swifts up and down as he walks.....his sexy body.....and not to mention his all out perfect face......

"Lex"

"LEXI"

I jumped out of pure shock. I glanced over at everyone in the group. They had all been staring were my head had been faced.... Oh no.. They all saw ace.

Immediately I could feel my face catch on fire.probably turning bright red

Cam was the first to speak...." Who are you looking at"he spoke with a concerned voice

"Ace?" this time it was Casey, she sounded shocked

"ACE the bad boy?" This time it was James and he sounded mad. Which was very unusual for James.

"I... Ummm....I" I was burning up and I didn't know what to say.. My whole body felt as if it was frozen

Should I tell them the truth? What could they possibly do.... I mean I think there trust worthy.
Before I had a chance to say anything cam spoke up right away

"Did he do something to you?" Cam spoke in a very angry and concerned voice.

"Gosh no...no he didn't hurt me." I was shocked by how strong my own voice had sounded.

"Oh.....well then why were you staring at him?" Jocelyn came out of the quiet and spoke.

" I don't know.... I've never really noticed him or his group before? ...... Do they always come here?" I tried to speak in a calm voice... Hoping that they wouldn't think anything else. But I don't even like him? Do I ?

"Yeah they come here all the time you probably have just never noticed them because you always have your head in a book." Casey spoke and the rest of the group started laughing. I was relieved that the topic had finally been removed from the table.

But there's one thing I was still unsure about. Ace got me out of the fire when there was no space for him to even get into because the fire was so bad. And I know I could just be going delusional but I could had sworn that I was flying or going 100 miles per hour. Hmmmmm I guess I was going to have to dig deeper.

I thought on it the whole day and my brain still couldn't come to a conclusion. I finally convinced myself that I was going to confront ace. Surely he would explain what had happened..... Right?
