Haven [GxG]

Chapter 9

Mila's POV:

Emma had him pinned up against the locker! Where did she even come from?

"Listen here, you disgusting perv. If you EVER. Try to touch. MY. Mila. Again I won't be as nice. Now stay the Fuck away from her!" She yelled. I could see the fear in his eyes...

Wait back it up a second. She just said, "MY Mila." She claimed me to be hers, but why?

As she let go of him, he quickly walked away and shakily said

"God, you're a Fr-freak!!" As he turned away and was almost running at this point.

She turned to me, and her eyes, they were dark again with those glowing red specs, but as quickly as I saw them, she blinked, and they were back to her normal color. She took my face into her hands, gently inspecting to ensure no bruises.

"Are you okay, Mila?!" Her cool hands felt good along my jaw and face where Chad had harshly grabbed my face. I was so lost in how concerned she was for me... how I was hers?

"Mila? Are you okay?" I finally snapped out of my daze and noticed just how close she was at this point. Damn, she feels so good against me. I felt the shocks erupting everywhere her skin touched mine. She smelled so tropical; even her breath that was fanning over me did. I felt my face inflame.

"Umm yeah.. thank you. I'm so glad that idiot wasn't my first kiss-" I slapped my hand over my mouth.  Fuck she wasn't supposed to know that.. her eyes lightened up more, and I started to feel horribly self-conscious as she lightly smiled. I began to look down...

"Hey, you don't have to be embarrassed. It's okay that you haven't had your first kiss. I'm never going to judge you.."

I finally looked up into her eyes, and I felt calm and safe again. I didn't feel insecure at all... I saw her look from my eyes to lips... and mine started to drift to hers.. we made eye contact again.. and she started closing the distance between us, and I just closed my eyes, wanting and longing for her lips to be on mine, and of course my luck the bell had to ring... I opened my eyes, and she was just gone... nowhere in sight... I stayed there, leaning up against the locker, completely lost in my own world. I almost kissed Emma. She wanted to kiss me.

"Hey, Mila, you okay?! I'm sorry again about bringing it up.."

"Oh hey, Chloe, yeah, I'm fine. It's just a sore subject. I'll tell you about it when I'm ready." If I was ever going to be ready...

My last two classes were AP Bio and AP English... I already had all my general core credits for college once I'm done with this school year.. so I'll basically be starting college as a sophomore... I wanted to study investigative journalism and have a minor in psychology. Finding the truth and the brain were my favorite things. It covered my need for writing, photography, adrenaline, truth, and science to pick up on people's micro-expressions!

The rest of the day blurred by... The last bell finally rang, telling me I was finally out of this prison! As soon as I stepped out of my classroom, Emma was there...

"Hey, Mila. I just wanted to let you know that we will be leaving school a little later today. Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I run this mental health club on Tuesdays and Thursdays till 4:30! And I also have practice for volleyball Monday, Wednesday, and Friday till 6!"

"Oh well, that's fine.. I'll just wait."

"Hey, the school newspaper usually meets up today after class.. you should ask about joining." I was confused about how she would know I would even be interested. I've only known her for two days.. she doesn't even know me.. and I definitely don't know her...
