Knowing the Bad Boy

4

"Wait!!"

Regis stop in his tracks the moment he heard my yell. He deliberately turned around and stared at me with his usual scowl.

Never in my mind would I ever imagine facing Regis alone and never in my life would I do something as stupid as yell for him to stop.
Do I have a death wish? Maybe.
Am I going insane? I'm heading there.

"what?!" he snap.

Yes, I am officially going to die here.
Nevermind my breathless state for running all the way from the third floor to here and my sweating face. All I could think was getting out of this stupid situation and preventing my upcoming demise all because I didnt want him to ditch Literature class? Really Raquel?

"y-you shouldnt ditch class"

"what" Now he looked like I've grown two heads.
"you think I care about that?" he scoff raising an eyebrow at me.

"n-no, I-"

"get lost and dont bother me again"
he stated, turned around and started walking.

"well that went well" I dejectedly mumbled.

As I watched his retreating back, I suddenly got the feeling of deja vu. I froze in my place and my heart constricted. The feeling of nervousness invaded my system and I was suddenly afraid of something, but what?

His retreating back, cold and alone.... I dont want to be alone.....never left behind...
Something flashed behind my eyes, a distorted memory.

No..stop!! Dont leave!!
A scream and a desperate hand reaching for someone who is walking away.

My hands got clammy and my body shook.

"REGIS!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. My vission blurry and now breathing heavily.
I rubbed my face and I noticed I was crying.
"what the"

I heard an audible but hurried footsteps. I looked up and saw Regis coming.
I didnt know what he's going to do, and I was afraid so I closed my eyes.

"you got some nerve yelling my name like that"
I was now aware of his presence infront of me, but what surprised me was that he didnt sound pissed.

I took a peek at his face though I have to crane my neck because he's tall, I found him only frowning as he stared at me.

For a moment, I got stunned at our close proximity, and then at his really handsome face. I can also smell his expensive cologne.

"do you really want me to not ditch Literature that bad?" he asked annoyed.

"y-yeah"

"damn it" he grunted.
He ruffled his already disheveled raven hair and heave a big sigh.
He sidestep me and proceeded to walk back to the school building, while I was still rooted on my place perplexed at everything that happened.

"hey, you coming or what?!"

"y-yes"
