His Saving Grace

Chapter 5

GREY'S POV

I walked down the school hallway in a usual cool silence and felt the tension in the air around me as I walked by. I was by now used to the love struck looks the girls gave me and the envious ones given by the boys. Conversation stopped as everyone stopped to stare at me which I smirked at.

Its feels good to be the king in this castle.

I stepped into Charlotte's literature class and all the students turned to look at me as I surveyed the class quickly. I realized Charlotte wasn't here but I recognized Clare's face and I strolled leisurely to her with all the eyes still on me. I sat down on the seat beside her and she turned to acknowledge me with a toothless grin.

I leaned in closer to her and whispered, "Have you seen Charlotte?''. She looked at me with a sad smile and whispered back, "She left the class a minute ago." I nodded reassuringly and thanked her then stood up to leave the class, but before I could, Evelyn (the school slut), dragged me by arms and started chattering about what I couldn't even hear due to her irritating high-pitched voice. I snatched my arm back from her hold while giving her my signature death glare and left the class.

"This girl is going to be the death of me'', I muttered to myself as I stalked through the hallways looking for Charlotte. The sound of angry huffing drew my attention and I followed the sound. I wasn't surprised to see Charlotte (because she honestly didn't take shit from anybody) but I was surprised to see Jack, the major asshole of this school. Anger surged through me when I saw Charlotte's bloody lip and I raced towards Jack, prepared to give him the beating of his life. My fingers curled to form a fist but before it could reach its destination, a warm hand on my wrist stopped me. I looked down and saw Charlotte pleading with me through her eyes not to hit him so I withdrew my fists. I gave him a death glare and screamed at him to fuck off before I turned back to face Charlotte.

"What happened?'', I asked her while massaging her sides slowly.

"I was trying to navigate where my next class was then I bumped into him because I was looking down at my map", she paused to take a deep breath, "When I realized I bumped into him, I apologized but he still slapped me and the force made my lips to cut.'', she continued. I could see she wanted to cry and I instantly felt bad I wasn't there to protect her. I immediately went to hug her and when our bodies collided, the water works started. I dragged her to the closest janitor closet and we both sat down on the floor with her still in my arms.

"I'm so sorry, baby girl.'', I repeated over and over again. No response was given and all that filled the dark and silent void we were in was her never-ending sobs.

Jack was dead meat.

Author's note

Hello everyone,

This is first time I'm writing through a boys POV so I expect it to be short asf and complete b.s tbh. But I really do appreciate constructive criticism so I'd like to hear from you guys, either through the comments, my wall or private messages. I'm also really thankful to all you beautiful and amazing people that read and vote on this book. Thank you so so so much! I also don't want to include school scenes because they're so boring lol. I could do lunch scenes and after school scenes though. I just need feedback :)

My eyes are dark brown*squints at the audience*

  p.s I know my chapters are short and I'm really trying to work on that.
