The Devil's Candy

Chapter 6

It has been a couple of days since Dominic and his friends started sitting with Jinnie and I at lunch. Lets just say the rumors have escalated and they're interesting. 

Who knew the people at my school were so creative? So far, I have heard that Oliver got Jinnie pregnant, I am sleeping with all four guys, oh and my favorite, that the guys are only sitting with us cause we're paying them.

Let us also add the fact that a lot of the guys fan club have been giving me dirty looks in the hallway. According to Jinnie, those girls are jealous that they stopped paying them attention. 

Not my fault they want to talk to the only two girls that do not open their legs the second a guy says hi or even flash them a smile.

During this week, I have also noticed that I have some of the guys in my classes. I am telling you they were literal shadows, in and out. I am currently heading to Chemistry which I have with Noah and Dominic.

I make my usual stop at my locker while the guys wait for me. It is like I have my own personal bodyguards. I look to the side to see Noah flirting with some freshmen. 

These guys are literal ghosts around this school but still manage to find time to flirt shamelessly with random girls. As I closed my locker, I'm startled to see Dominic leaning against the lockers next to me.

"Jumpy, are we?" He chuckles.

"Shut up." I mumbled and headed towards the chemistry room.

I take my usual seat towards the middle of the class. Pulling out my notebook from my bag I get ready for the bell to ring. 

Noah walks in and gives me a simple head nod before heading to the back of the class. I return it with a small smile and look down at my notes from last class.

"Get up." A deep voice says above me. I look to see Dominic leaning over me.

"Why?"

"I said get up."

"No." I scrunch my eyebrows. He picks up my notebook and tosses it to the back of the room.

"Hey!" I shout standing up. He grips my arm and drags me to the back of the class shoving me into a seat next to Noah. I look at him bewildered. 

Looking at Noah for help, yet he is just snickering at what just happened. Dom walks away and returns with my bookbag taking the seat right behind me.

The bell rings and I try to stand up to head back to my seat, but Dom grabs the back of my shirt and pulls me back down. I huff, annoyed and just face defeat. 

Noah hands me my notebook that was laying on the floor from being tossed. I take it and try to focus on the lecture.

What the hell is his problem? One minute he's friendly, the next he's dragging me across the room.

"Psst."

"Psssst."

"Bambi."

"Come on, don't be like that."

"Dom, just leave me alone."

"You know I can't do that." He mumbles. I do not think I was supposed to hear that. I try to focus on taking notes when I feel the hair tie that was holding my ponytail being pulled out causing my hair to fall loose.

I turn around facing Dom. "What are you doing?"

"Shh." He turns my head back towards the front. Brows furrowed; I sit waiting for what will happen next. What I did not expect was for Dom to start playing with my hair running his fingers through it.

Is he braiding it?

For most of the class Dom braided then un-braided my hair. It felt nice and I kind of like the idea of Dominic touching my hair. If it was anyone else, I think I would have slapped them. 

At one point he stopped and before I could turn and ask why I felt him lean forward, his warm breath fanning against my ear.

"I like your hair down. Don't tie it up again, understand?" His voice low, teasing, but you can still hear the faint threat behind it.

Unable to speak I just nodded my head.

"Good." He said, sounding pleased. What he did next had me almost flying out of my seat. He placed a gentle kiss on my neck right near my ear. I bite my lip to suppress the gasp from escaping.

Saved by the bell I grab my things and run out the class as if my ass were lit on fire. The arrogant jerk had the nerve to laugh at my burst of movement.
