One week later...

Pyper P.O.V

    It's Monday and I'm walking down the hall to exit the school and walk home. It was a long day, filled with people I didn't know, or did not care for. One of those people was Shayne. I had been ignoring Shayne all day. Trying to go unnoticed, unbothered but of course that was impossible, since he was my partner for the project and I had six out of nine periods with him.

Nine periods were already impossible but place six of them with an annoying, good looking jerk and you end up getting with me wanting to die.

Every single time I try to ignore him, it's like his eyes are always watching me. Waiting to see when my emotions might get the best of me.

I walk down the street alone since I stayed after school for Math help. Algebra was kicking my butt, and my mother would definitely bury mine if I didn't get my grade up. So staying after was essential, the only bad thing was that I was the only one outside.

In town people were rude, shady even. Nobody waved to you on their porch or said good morning. Some, because they were racist and others because they didn't care. As I'm thinking about the food I'm dying to eat once I arrive at home I hear it.

The sound of an engine. My heart rate escalates, due to the new sounds being generated from behind me.

Suddenly a car approaches me, driving along side me. I glance looking at the model. A black car stills a few feet away and I get my feet ready to run. Just in case it's someone I don't know.

"Pyper!" A male voice shouts.

Oh heck no. I turn around and Shayne is there, his long hair swaying in the wind. And oh, Jesus he looked fine. I clear my throat and face the street I'm on again, ignoring him.

"Pyper Come on, I can give you a ride!" He yells, his voice traveling through the air.

"No thank you." I retort turning around to continue my trail home.

I hear a door shut and footsteps on the pavement. Most likely Shayne's, I swear this guy can't take a hint.

So I do what my ancestors did to get to freedom. I run.

Why? You might ask. Because I don't want him to see me so vulnerable, and I don't want to see the remorse in his eyes, the pity. You know?

I mean, I'm sure Dominic already told him, he can't keep his mouth shut. And I surely don't need his sympathy, I had enough of that.

I start getting tired of running, because I skip gym class, so I hid behind the nearest tree. The dark roots seeped into the ground, making it uneven. I tried my best to conceal myself, making myself invisible. It was easy at school, everyone did it, but out here in nature it seemed like I was shining.

I hear him stop and catch his breath. Sighing before lifting himself up, continuing the chase.

I covered my mouth with my hands. My heart was beating so hard I'm surprised he didn't hear it.

"Pyper, come on!" He tells his voice like music to my ears.

I'm silent, but he doesn't leave.

"If you wanna play that way, fine. I'll just see you at school." He states, deflated like a old balloon.

I listen as his footsteps fade away. I wait a few minutes until I know that the coast is clear.

I resume walking down the walkway, the path designated with concrete.

My stomach growls and I rub it trying to silence it, when I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I wrestle with the figure on the ground, and due to the toned broad shoulders I know it's a man. I elbow him in the stomach and pin him to the ground. The person under me is Shayne.

"Really? " I ask him while panting, like I said I skip gym.

His dark eyes, focus on me, "I usually like the girl on the bottom. But for you, babe, I'm willing to try it." He says and winks at me.

The nerve of this guy!

I get off his toned body, disgusted.

He smirks and flips me over so that our positions are switched. Now he hovers over my small frame, his hair cascading  over my head.

"Then again, I am the one that satisfies." He smiles while eyeing my body.

Why do boys have to be so dirty? I push him off me. His muscles firm under my hands.

"Can I give you a lift now?" He questions, while dusting himself off.

"No." I state matter of fact, I was still ignoring him.

"Come on, Pyper its already five and getting darker." He stated his arms positioned out from his body.

"It's five?" I ask, panicked. My mama was going to kill me, and then when she sees my grade revive me just to kill me again.

"Yeah." He retorts glancing at his phone.

"Oh crap, okay drive me home but no funny business." I say, rubbing my forehead.

He grins wickedly, "No promises."

As I slide into his passenger's seat, I notice how I am still out of breath. I mentally remind myself to never skip gym class.
