His Dominance

Chapter 4

--MONDAY--

I got off the stupid bus and groaned to myself as people also got off, but someone bumped me in the shoulder as they either walked past me or ran. Jeez I hate that! It's why I was happy when Anthony got a car so I wouldn't have to deal with jerk-heads. I crossed my arms over my chest stubbornly as I continued to walk over to Fairfield High School.

When I reached the door and was about to open the doors, I felt an arm go around my shoulder and at the same time whoever it was whispered in my ear sending goosebumps down my arms. "Hello, pretty lady."

I gasped and jumped. Turning my head around... I saw a grinning Anthony looking down at me. His face seemed a little tanner and his hair was way thicker and his nice hazel eyes had shown a little brighter. Feeling comfort from his arm, I wrapped my arms around his waist and smashed my body against his tightly, "Jeez, Anthony! You're back!"

He chuckled and wrapped his arm onto my shoulders, "Missed me, huh?"

Feeling my cheeks blush, I answered truthfully, "Well...yes. I have been so worried about you."

He rubbed the top part of my back, "Yeah," he said, his voice sounding a little sad. "Sorry. I missed you too... so much," he said, digging his nose in my hair, which I thought was a little weird, but ignored it and let myself relax in his arms... feeling so warm and comfortable like It was the most easiest thing In the world.

After a moment, I realized we were hugging like we were a couple. It felt weird. I dropped my arms to move backwards but when I took a step back, he pulled me back to him.

My eyes widened in shock, "Umm... Anthony?"

"Hmm?" He moaned.

"You can let go now."

"Huh?" he questioned. He dropped his arm, "Oh... I'm sorry," he said.

"Oh man, Anthony!" I heard Danny's voice booming from inside of the building. Our heads snapped inside of the school and saw him a very wide grinned Danny coming our way. "What? No text or call saying you are back?" He asked when he reached us, held his hand up and Anthony also raised his hand and they smacked each other as they went into a guy hug. "Whoa, nice grip. Working out on this vacation or something?" He asked, chuckling.

Anthony shrugged, "You could say that."

"He's right." I said, referring to Danny's comment about no text or call. "Why didn't you text me saying you were coming back?"

Danny laughed, "What? Are you his girlfriend now?"

My cheeks reddened up, "N-no, I'm just saying. He is my friend too."

Anthony threw his arm around my shoulders, "Sorry guys, I... lost my charger and didn't find it until this morning and I'm sorry about not telling you guys and not texting you last week. Dad wouldn't let me text anyone while we were vacationing," he said. "You wouldn't believe how many text messages I got; text after text. By the time I got out of the shower this morning, I had at least fifty text messages and twenty missed calls," he said, smirking down at me when he said how many times I had called him.

"Well, we were wondering where our future star soccer player was. We thought you actually moved and left us to lose," Danny said as we walked in the school building.

I felt awkward as a group of people came up to us and circled around us. Sure, I know them, but they usually would push me away so they can get to him. I crossed my arms over my chest again as I awkwardly looked down at the ground. When I tried to step aside, Anthony's hand tightened around my right shoulder where his hand was hanging and he pulled me back into him. I gave him a confused look, but he just continues to talk with his friends and laughing. I could feel some girls eyes on me with questioned marks hanging onto their heads, but I ignored them as I looked down at the ground.
