Teacher's Pet (paused)

3.

 The bell rings signaling last block was over. I'm really dreading that I have to meet up with Dominic over my grades. It's basically his fault why I'm falling behind, he's stealing my best friend. 

 Mason was my cinnamon apple, the only reason I wasn't a hermit and staying home all the time. I miss him so much, he was there for me when no one else was, I don't even think he knows how much he means to me. 

 I walk out of school not realizing how goddamn cold it was. I should have brought an extra jacket, I say to myself. I mean it was October what the hell was I thinking. I get in my car and start driving home, I had exactly three hours before I had to see Dominic at the library, so I decided to see if Masom maybe wanted to hang out before I had to go. 

 As soon as I got home, not even getting out of the car yet, I call Mason. It rings... and rings... and rings, then finally he picks up. 

"Oh, h-hey Jemma," he says nervously. What's his deal?

"Hey," I say with caution, "What are your plans for the next three hours?" 

"Uhh..." he pauses, I hear his hand over the mic. 

 What the fuck is this dude hiding, he's been blowing me off for months now and I'm tired of it. 

"Hellooo?" I say in a sarcastic way trying to get his attention.

"Oh, hi sorry. I can't hang out today I'm really busy," he replies. 

 Fuck this.

"Mason, what the hell is going on, why have you been avoding me? we haven't had a real conversation in months and it bothers the hell out of me. I care so much about you and you don't seem to care at all about me." 

 I don't know what took over me but I was pissed and I wanted an explanation.

"Look Jemma, I've been busy with some shit lately. I can't talk to you about it, I gotta go."

 He hung up. 

 Wow, my best friend doesn't even want anything to do with me. I know I'm more hurt then I should be but he was my first friend at school. We have been friends since kindergarten, he's the only prson I trust with my secrets it hurts that he doesn't feel the same. What's so damn important that he couldn't tell me? 

 I get out of the car and run to the door, I unlock it and run up the stairs and straight to my room. I just wanted to be alone. I got so lost in my thought that I dozed off without realizing it. 

 When I woke up it took me a second to realize I fell asleep, remembering I had to meet up with Dominic at 5:30, I quickly shot up and looked at the clock on my night stand. 

 The clock read 5:25. Holy shit, I was late. The library is ten minutes away from my house so I had to be speedy.

 I quickly got out of bed, grabbed my keys and ran out the door to my car. I got in and started driving to the library. 

 When I arrived I ran into the building and looked around trying to find Dominic. I scan the library a couple times before finding him on the second floor sitting at a table. I quickly jog to the stairs and up them. I turn to him and sit at the table.

"You're late," he says sternly. Damn someones cranky.

"Yeah sorry, I fell asleep. Didn't really want to be here anyway." I say giving him an attitude back.

He glared at me and for once he kinda scared me. Okay, so he's not having a good night. 

"let's just get started," he said.

-------

 After two hours of going over test questions I was exhausted, all I wanted to do was go home and sleep.

"Okay, that was the last question you're free to go," he says. 

 I just nodded my head and got up from my seat. As I was turning away, Dominic grabbed my wrist really tight. A little shaken up I slowly turned around to see what he wanted.

"I don't want to have to go over this again with you," he said in a low stern voice. 

 Holy shit, this guy doesn't play. 

"Oh... um okay." I said confused. 

 He was still staring at me and his grip on my wrist got tighter. I look down at my wrist trying to tell him to let go when he sees me he quickly let go of my arm and put his hand back in his lap. I gave him a confusing glance and briskly walked away from him. 

 I was so confused about what just happened. I didn't know if I should be turned on or scared. I had a lot of emotions going on but I just wanted to sleep it off. 

 I left the library and go in my car. I started driving and I was hoping I'd make it home without falling asleep. When I made it home I went to the door and pulled out my keys trying to look for the right one.  Damn, I'm in high school how many damn keys could I possibly need!? 

 I finally found the key, as soon as I put the key in the lock, suddenly my vision went black. I couldn't see anything. I start to panic but before I could scream, there was a rag over my mouth. at this point, I was hyperventilating, obviously not making the situation any better. My body starts to go limp as I feel an arm around my neck and torso. Before I knew it I was out cold. I was in so much shock I couldn't fight back, I was so scared I felt paralyzed. I felt like my mind was yelling "Fight back fight back!!" but my body just didn't want to move. But that doesn't matter now, I was passed out getting dragged to who knows where.
