When Love Takes Over

Chapter 4: Rudely Interrupted

Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!...

Ms. Duncan was going around the bush with this stupid ASS lecture. We've been in school since August and we're STILL going over behavior etiquette! When are we going to actually learn something?!

The kid in front of him-Adrian-turned abruptly to a flabbergasted Terrell, unaware he spoke aloud. "How about a quarter til NEVER." As he turned back around, Adrian tsked, then mumbled, "Got a lot of learning to do, newbie."

Yeah, Terrell thought, I really do.

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!

Clarity huffed and grabbed her things. Hastily, she began to leave when a muscular hand stopped her. She would know that grasp anywhere. Soft, but firm, yet somehow comforting.

Before she turned, it was kinda obvious. Probably Adrian or Angelica again. Surprisingly, it was neither Ang or Adrian. Behind her stood the 6' foot figure of Terrell. She looked down at his hold on her arm, so did he. Oh how his touch made her mouth water.

"Hi," Terrell said letting go of her. Silently cursing himself while shoving his hands in his pockets. He shouldn't of said something so cliché.

"Err-hi?" Clarity reluctantly spoke.

Let's see...why does he want to talk now?

She looked up in time to see that small flick of emotion cross his face before it disappeared just as fast.

"Long time, no see. H-how you been?" he stuttered.

Hold UP! Terrell...sounding fucking shy?! That's weird, especially since he's the one who split them up. Did he actually manage to sound sooo.....humble?

Nahh. That's RIDICULOUS...

Isn't it??

RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!

Oh snap! I'm gonna miss the bus!!

Quickly, Clarity headed to the door, Terrell hard on her heels. The fuck?

"Hanging in there," Claire called over her shoulder instead, "and you?" Not that she cared...much.

Terrell's long legs ended up in front of her somehow. She wanted to protest, but the words wouldn't come.

He held the doors for her as she walked through. "OK. Could be better though," he shrugged. It could if he was with HER. Again.

Terrell opened his mouth and closed it again. For he was interrupted by Mr. Morgan's booming voice calling his name. Did I do something wrong?

Terrell rolled his eyes and turned at the sound of his name. Clarity said her farewell and headed towards her bus, unaware Terrell turned back around to watch her go.

He stared after her as she left and suppressed a sigh. Oh why did he have to be interrupted? That was the first time they had a conversation in months, and it had to be interrupted! Anger rose in him toward the voice that cut them off. His vision began to blur.

Not here, not now. Closing his eyes, Terrell chanted to himself repeatedly. Get it together.

Once under control of his temper, he opened his eyes and let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

Slowly, he turned to face the intruder.
