Chapter 12-
**Ryan’s POV**
She has the best smile that I have ever seen.
I shook my head. Why do I keep thinking about her?.
Her attitude is really hard to deal with but I don’t care. Her attitude is what attracted me at first. And today in the supply room. I don’t know how I kept control of myself but I could feel the heat between our bodies. When she grabbed me, it send chills throughout my body. But why?.
The bell rang snapping me out of my thoughts.
I went and opened the door to find Nick looking all crazy.
I frowned. “What’s up with you?” I asked.
“Shut up, let me in” He said pushing himself into my house.
What is wrong with him?.
I saw him go into my fridge and get a cold water bottle. He drank it like there was no tomorrow and I was just standing there looking at his weird actions.
He went past me and sat on my couch with his head in his hands.
I decided to just lean on the counter and look at him.
He sighed heavily and then looked at me. I just looked at him amused.
He just looked at me. “So fucked up”. He said.
I frowned and got serious. “What are you talking about?”.
“You misjudge people. A lot” He said.
Wait he was mad at me?. And who was he talking about?.
“Wait ok, want to start from the beginning” I said.
He sighed heavily again and got up. “Tamara man! You keep saying that her personality is a bitch without knowing why! Seriously, you need to stop…You don’t even know what she’s been going through!” He said so fast that I barely understood him.
I blinked. What did he just say?.
“Wait what?” I asked. Now I was confused. And I just said that so he wouldn’t tease me about that I like her.
“I found Tamara’s ex trying to choke her to death today in the bathroom” He said. And when he did my heart sank. What?.
I blinked. Then stiffened. “Is she okay?”.
He nodded. “I took her home later, but she’s bad man. She got bruises on her back, on her cheek and around her neck where the asshole was choking her. If I hadn’t asked to go to the bathroom. I would probably be at her funeral right now” He said.
I was shocked. How can someone do that to her?. I immediately felt guilty about saying that about her personality.
“Don’t say that, how did you know she was there?” I asked.
“Well I have her for 6th period and I know she was in school, I saw her, but she wasn’t in class and I thought she may be in the bathroom but when I passed by the boys bathroom I heard someone crying in pain as if there was a fight. I went in and saw that”. He said.
I felt angry. I wanted to go beat the shit out of the guy that hit her. I don’t know why but I did.
“Did you take her to the hospital?” I asked.
He shook his head. “She’s really stubborn. She told me to just take her home”.
I clenched my jaw. “So you took her home?” I asked.
He nodded. “Yeah but after I took her for a coffee. You should of seen the way she snapped the dude who was looking at her funny”.
I looked at him. “So you saw how she is towards other people?” I asked.
He nodded. “She’s a dragon” He said.
I looked at him. A dragon? What the….
He shook his head. “Never mind, but I need you to borrow your car so I can go check on her”.
I glared at him. “You like her?”.
He looked at me. “As a friend, but who I really like is her friend, Cindy”.
“The blonde one?” I asked.
He nodded. “Oh by the way, we’re going on a date with them. A group date. Me and Cindy, you and Tamara”.
I looked at him shocked. “ReallY?”.
He nodded.
Whatever, I need to see her. To at least know she’s okay.
“I’ll be back”. I said.
“You know where she lives?” He asked amusingly.
I stopped. Dammit.
“C’mon, but stay in the car, I want to be inside with her for a moment” I said.
“She’s gonna hate me for this” He muttered.
“I’ll explain”. I said.
I need to go see her. Whatever is wrong with me. I can’t deny I already started to like her and care about her.
