The Masked Stranger

Chapter 3

It was lunch and so I went to mine and Gen's table when I was met by none other than Lewis, who by the way had paint all over himself, which is odd because he has no art classes. 

"Hey Jay, how are you?" Lewis greeted me. 

Suddenly I felt a weird tingling feeling inside me, so naturally, I left Lewis alone in the lunchroom hanging without greeting him back.

As I started walking out of the lunchroom and went down the hall and saw the principal talking to someone, and me being me I did what any suspicious student would do I hid in a locker. I know I know, smart move especially when I realized I couldn't get out, shit, they heard me shimmy the locker. Well, I'm screwed. When I found the locker door open I saw none other than the man from last night in the alley, the one who pushed me into the car except this time I could see his eyes, they were a light blue and when he noticed I was staring at his eyes a smirk appeared on his face, is it bad I found him attractive probably, do I care, no, not really. Then the principal started talking. 

"Miss Jensen I hope you have a good reason for being in a locker." He said in a stern voice but sounded really annoying to me. Naturally, my only response is to lie.

"Would you believe me if I told you someone shoved me in there," I asked 

"No," he replied. Well, shit I thought to myself how am I gonna get out of this one.

"Well, you see it's a funny story actually," I told him while I was trying to find something to blame it on, then it hit me to blame Lewis. He stuck me with his pig for the whole summer, he deserves this.

"It was all Lewis's Jacobs fault," I said then I quickly sprinted down the hall to the cafeteria and hid amongst the crowd. 

Then I saw Gen sitting next to Zachary and I walked over to them and sat down. Suddenly I saw the principal and then ducked under the table.

When I came back out from under the table I saw all my friends looking at me funny and with confused looks. 

"Why" that was all Gen could muster up out of her mouth.

When lunch was over I started heading back to class, when someone pulled me into the janitor's closet. That is when a pair of lips came crashing down on my own and it felt good, no it felt amazing so naturally, my reaction was to push whoever it was off of me. When I did just that I looked up to see the guy who had been talking to the principal who I also saw last night. Yes, I have met him twice, and I still don't know his name is that sad or what.

Suddenly before I even knew what he was doing I fell into his arms and failed to see or hear anything.

When I woke up I found myself on a very comfortable bed that I knew was not my own, because my parents would never let me sleep on something so comfy why, because they hate me. 

After a minute or two I opened my eyes and started to stand up, but before I could I heard the door open and it was that same man yet again and I still don't know his name. 

"Good you're awake." He said in a kind of relieved tone.

"Where am I, and who are you," I asked.

"Relax one question at a time please." He told me. 

"Okay tell me your name," I said to him.

"My name is James." He said in a soft tone that I found extremely comforting.

"Okay, where am I," I ask, still slightly uneasy.
