Twisted

Chapter 19

Tigerlily's POV

O.M.G. SNH IS SO FREAKING TOUGH! I can't be late for my next section of the Ability block, which is Wisdom. My teacher is so strict! If I'm late for class today, he'll give me a zero! Wait, why does the word 'zero' sound familiar? Whatever, I need to get to class. I quickly walked towards my locker, twisted in my combination, and yanked the locker door open.

I threw in my things from my Superspeed period into my locker and pulled out my materials for Wisdom class which were six notebooks, pens, pencils, some stupid book and a glass tablet. It works like an iPad, but it's just glass. My idiot teacher Mr. Bay says it's 'enchanted' or something, I wasn't really paying attention like always. I slammed my locker shut. I felt exhilarated. I decided to make that a regular thing. I also decided to superspeed to class. I worked out some equations in my head and decided it would be best.

I started to run but before I could get two steps away from my locker I felt another body collide with mine. HARD. I was knocked backwards just a little, but so much as I slammed into the lockers and fell to the floor, all my stuff clattering onto it. I cursed under my breath and looked up to see who had rammed me. I rubbed the back of my head where it had hit the metal of the lockers. It hurts real bad now! Now this is great, I thought miserably. I'll definitely be late for class!

Was it Skyler or Emily this time? Probably Skyler. But I don't think either of them could knock me down like that though............

I suddenly felt hot rage run through my veins. Whoever this is is gonna get me a bad grade! AHHHHGGG! They'll pay! "Watch where your-" I started to say but stopped when I saw who had hit me.

"Damn..." I whispered. I was still on the floor, so I had to crane my neck to see him.

He was wearing the uniform for boys (duh), but he wore a black hoodie over it. Wait, that's not allowed, because they have to wear those vests. Oh well, maybe he likes to break rules just like I like to.

Then he was kneeling down to help me pick up my stuff. MY STUFF! THE GLASS TABLET! AHHHH! MY TEACHER IS GONNA KILL ME! I don't need anything else on my plate right now! Stupid security guard....I wonder what he did.. I looked up and was met by silver-blue eyes staring back into mine.

I blushed and looked away. Why? I shook it off and looked farther away from his face. Suddenly I was nervous. Again, why?! I could tell even under his hoodie there were muscles underneath. "Hey," He tapped me on the shoulder. "I this yours? I saw it flying and........well reflexes I guess." he explained.

A wave of relief spread through me. "Thank you so much! David, right? You're one of those boys who got in trouble the first day and had to come clean our room?" I said, trying not to laugh. Apparently he could tell, but nodded at his name. "Yeah, and that was the night I got traumatized by your roommate." He shot back, annoyed. "Oh yeah, Emily. The other person who pinned her down was my other roommate Skyler." He nodded again, still picking up notebooks and pencils.

"And you're Tigerlily, right?" I nodded and grabbed a pen off the floor, reminding myself that he's just another stupid guy and to not fall for him. Listen to Sky, I thought. She's right about love. Remember how many times you got cheated on, Lily?, I coached myself. Right about then I noticed that I was holding the same pen as he was, his hand closed around mine. We locked eyes like a total cliche.

I kind of liked the color of his eyes. I instantly let go, because I knew where this was going. He'd start flirting and then where would I be? Getting my heart ripped out just like last time. My last boyfriend was cheating on me even before I moved and it turned out pretty ugly. FOR HIM. Don't wanna get into details, too emotional. Back to reality, he started flirting anyway.
