Dark or Light

Chapter 2 - Senior Year

We walk up to the front of the highschool doors. I guess Mark goes to the same school as me.

Mark took his arm off of me then took off his hoodie to look at me. I stare at him to observe his figures and he is seriously handsome.

"Thank you," I spoke softly and took my books from him. Surely this wouldn't be the last time I'll be seeing him. I guess I owe him...

"It was my pleasure," He said and push up the bridge of his glass on his nose. He look up at me from a 40° angle and his eyes shimmer with such beauty.

My legs began to weaken at his looks and personality. He had notice then took me by my left hand to hold me up and had an instinct to place his hand on my waist. Heat rose to my cheeks and my heart went wild by the touch of his skin.

I look down to not make eye contact and he tilt his head to the side so he can see me. My bangs were the only barrier blocking us so I wouldn't look at him. How can I already feel this way when I just met him?...

My eyes slowly made its way to look Mark in the eyes and soon as I did, my heart was beating supersonic. Then I slowly move away from his reach and kept eye contact with his beautiful eyes. His grip was no longer touching me and at that moment, the bell had rang.

Second period...what class do I have?

I am new to this high school so I have no knowledge of what class I'm suppose to go to. Nor, I don't know where everything is.

A crowd of girls ran over to where I am standing and push me away from Mark. Girls were getting all in his bubble and I was being crush between the girls.

"Oof!" "Ouch!" "Hey!" "Excuse me!" All the grunts and moans I did, didn't stop the girls getting to Mark. My hand was still being latch onto Mark's and he wouldn't let me go. A girl kick the back of my knee forcing me to bend it and fall back.

Mark's hand had slip out of my palm and I trip over my own feet; then fell back. I yelp and Mark push the girls out of his path but he was too slow. I close my eyes. I am prepare to fall but... everyone gasp then went silent.

I peek through one eye to see what happen and I felt big arms holding me around my shoulders.

My back is against someone's chest but I was expecting to be lying on the ground. Mark is standing in front of me then I look down to see whose arms are holding me. The person is a guy by how big his forearms are and has a dragon tattoo on his arm.

My head slowly turn to the side to see who it is. It is a guy with a scar at the right corner of his lip and on his temple. He has a bull tattoo on his neck and I eye smile at him, giggling at bit. His eyes widen in surprise and smile slightly.

A teacher came and check on us.

"What are you guys doing?!" The male teacher ask us in a frustrated tone. I blush looking down and slowly stood up from the ground. The boy's arms let go of me then I walk up to the teacher.

My head is direct down so I didn't have to look the teacher in the eyes.

"Excuse us, sir," I say in a soft tone. "We don't mean to cause a pandemonium in the halls. Please forgive our ways."

"How do you expect me to let you off that easily? You know how much noise you-"

I look up at him with shame in my eyes and he stop speaking. It seem as if he was being pull into my stare and he swallow his saliva. He loosen his tie and nod.

"Very well then...I'll let you kids go," he said in a orderly manner tone then walk back to the classroom he came from.

Odd...I wonder what had change his mind when I look at him.

I turn to look at everyone and all the girls back up when a girl walk up to Mark. She lock arms with him and my heart drop. He's already dating someone...
