MELROSE

CHAPTER 11

Don't forget to vote and comment!

"I'm." Slam.

"His." Slam.

"Fucking." Slam.

"Girlfriend." Slam.

"Shit."

Before I could slam that last word out, I was practically pulled off the locker by two strong hands. I'm tall, yet I had to look up to meet those deep forest green eyes.

"Just so you know, my cousin isn't into girls with head bumps."

I ignored his statement, my head reeling from the fact that he was touching me.

I struggled to free myself from his grasp, not missing the amusement in his eyes. My efforts came to no avail and I huffed in annoyance. "Let the fuck go of me. Let go of me or else ..."

"Or else what Tigress?" Don sneered.

"What are you going to do, punch me?"

Be careful what you wish for.

I punched him, really hard.

Or you just might get it.

He took two steps backward, obviously in pain, but managed to drag me back before I could leave.
The amusement didn't leave his eyes.  "Nice. Impressive even. But you have to try much harder than that."
I glared at him. I hate the fact that he's strong. Most people can't take my punch and still stand. It is that painful. "What part of let go of me did you not understand?"

He frowned, as if thinking. "Pretty much the whole thing."

"Then I'll help you understand."
I bit into his arm. Hard enough to let blood trickle out.

"Shit!" Don pulled his arm away to examined my teeth - inflicted bruise.
The look on his face was one of pure shock. I did not however, expect his next comment.

"I know you're a tigress. I did not know you're also a vampiress. I think that's my new name for you. If you would excuse me," he gestured his wounded arm, "I have to take care of this."

I stared at his retreating figure for a second before resuming my slamming with more force than before. I could feel people's eyes trained on my madness but none of them dared to say anything because for some reason they still feared me though Preston Roth accident happened a year ago. I stopped slamming for a moment as the memory of what happened earlier today came into my mind.

FLASHBACK

I walked into the school to find everyone staring at me. Before I could scream some non PG - rated words at them, my brother and his best friend appeared at my sides, grabbing my hands.

I resisted the urge to hit Don for touching me and focused on the situation.

"Guys, what's going on?"

"You'll see." Fletch said.

"And just so you know," Don added through gritted teeth "I'm getting paid for this."

They dragged me to my locker and I froze.

Holy shit.

Rose petals lined the way to my locker and a bunch of people, including Zuke, Ster and Finn stood around it holding heart shaped balloons with the words BE MINE? engraved on them. I opened my locker and was greeted by pizza. Whoever did this knows me well. Only when I opened it did I notice the note at the side.
