When I wake up my fluffy blanket from the couch in my room is over me. My room felt cold so I pull the blanket tighter around me. I didn't want to wake up and just wanted to stay in my bed. I look over to my alarm clock which is beside my bed to see that it's ten in the morning. I had already missed breakfast so I just decide to stay in bed till lunch. When I hear my phone buzzing I open back up my eyes to see that Alex was texting me. I start scrolling through his many texts that he had sent me.

Alex: Hey Olivia! Guess what I just got! Well if you aren't going to answer then I'll just tell you. I got a motorcycle! I finally saved up enough money! Since my dad already had taught me how to ride his I just need to get used to riding this one. Maybe I'll bring you for a ride this week. Olivia? You there? You haven't texted me and it's the next day now and you usually respond pretty quickly. Olivia?

I quickly text back, Sorry I fell asleep and just saw that you were texting. That's so exciting though and maybe I'll let you bring me on a ride.

Alex: You will be going on a ride with me for sure.

Me: Okay whatever you say.

I then put my phone back after he responds with an smiley face. I pull the blanket over my head and just lay there. The rest of the day I just hangout in my room. I only go downstairs for lunch and dinner. No one bothers me or even talks to me about what happened last night.

The next day Jay brings me straight to school. There wasn't a huge crowd at the doors but he still has to stay with me as my bodyguard for safety precautions. The rest of the day flies by and Alex of course shows me a picture of the motorcycle that he had gotten. It's a black motorcycle with a few red streaks. The next day I had advisory which I had nothing to do in. I just sit in the back of the room with Alex. Someone walks in and hands a note to the teacher and then the teacher hand it to me. It says that I need to my science teacher Mr. Jones.

"I'll be right back" I whisper to Alex. I get up and turn to Jay, "You dont need to follow. The teacher just needs me real quick and I'll be right back."

Jay just nods his head and leans back up against the wall. I leave the classroom and make my way down the hall. I step into Mr. Jones classroom and all the lights were off except two whitch was the emergency light and a row of lights close to the door. I step in confused when I realize no one is in the classroom. The door shuts and I quickly turn around to see Donovan.

"Um...do you know where Mr. Jones is because he said that he needed to talk to me."

"Oh, I know."

"What do you mean?"

"I was the one who set that note you idiot."

Donovan starts getting closer and closer and I start backing up farther into the room.

"I swear I didn't do anything to you. Unless if it's that you wanted me to be your girlfriend because I'm already taken in case you didn't notice."

"Oh, it's not about that and you should know that. I never liked you anyway"

"Th-then what do you mean?"

"Why should I tell you? You should of figured it out by now."

I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about at all. I run into a wall that was behind me. I was in the corner of the room and there was no where I could run anymore. He holds me up against the wall pushing on my shoulders. When the door opens I quickly look behind Donovan to see Alex coming in. Donovan slaps me for not looking at him and Alex starts running towards us. Alex pulls Donovan away and they get into a fist fight. Finally Donovan runs out of the room only to be caught by Jay who keeps a firm grasp on Donovan.

"You two stay right here" Jay says to us.

He then leaves us in the room to go take care of Donovan. Alex puts his hands on my shoulders and has me face him. His nose is bleeding and I try to just look him in the eyes.

"You alright?" he asks concerned.

"Um...your nose is bleeding."

"You didn't answer my question."

"I'm fine but you're the one who just got beaten up."

"I know I just wanted to make sure your alright."

Alex then lets go and goes over to Mr. Jones's desk. He grabs a tissue and holds it to his nose. I lean up against the wall and slide down to the floor. Alex comes and sits by me and looks right at me.

"Um...do you know what Donovan's wanted from you?"

"No...he wouldn't tell me. He just said that I should already know."

We then just sit in silence not saying a word. Alex gets up and goes over to the trash can where he throws away the tissue. He comes back over to me and sits down. Not to long after Jay comes back and shows us back to the classroom. Before I sit down Jay stops me and has me come out to the hall with him.

"Did that kid who was with you tell you anything? He won't even say if his real name is Donovan."

"No he didn't say anything except that I should know what he wants from me."

"Okay, thank you."

We then go back into the classroom where I sit down next to Alex. The rest of the day goes by slowly and Jay ended up on the phone for a while during one of the classes. Once we get home Jay goes and talks with my dad while I go into my room. The rest of the night is quite and I have a hard time falling asleep wondering what Jay was talking about with my dad.
