What Happens in the Dark

Chapter 14

I got up and put on a baby pink tank top and put on a cream colored cardigan that matched my boots. I pulled on a pair of black leggings to match.

Aunt Dana drove me to school as usual and I got out and saw Monroe leaning against his Mustang making me smile.

I walked towards him and he lifted his sunglasses down slightly to make eye contact.

"Miss Knight. It's such a shock to see you in any color, but black." He smirked, his voice sent a chill down my spine.

"I decided to do something new." I softly laughed.

"I like it." He said not taking his eyes off me. I instantly blushed.

"Can I walk you to Brooks class?" He asked making me smile. I looked up at his gray eyes glistening even though it was cloudy outside. He had that half smirk that made me want to melt, as usual.

"Sure." I answered. We walked together and I saw a couple looks, but Monroe stared them down hard enough to make them quickly look down. For a school that thought he was a "freak" they sure were scared of him.

We approached Mr. Brooks class. Mr. Brooks was sitting at his desk with a cup of coffee and looked up at us walking inside.

"Ah. the dynamic duo I see." He said in his raspy smoker voice.

"Don't be jealous Brooks we will still get our quality time." Monroe winked making Brooks roll his eyes.

"If only you knew how badly I don't want that, Cittadino."

I laughed at their relationship.

The bell rang and the class started to to flood with people.

"Don't let anyone work you up today seven. Fuck what they think." Monroe said lightly brushing my chin with his thumb. My chin heated up where he touched and tingles went through me. He had never done this before and I was loving every second of it.

He walked back to his desk. He was wearing a black coat and khaki joggers.

He was so hypnotizing.

Rachel came by me.

"Hey Seven." She smiled with her squeaky voice.

"Hey Rachel." I smiled back.

"I heard you went off on Allison yesterday." She looked so exited.

"I mean I stood up for myself," I laughed.

"People were talking about it around the halls. Nobody has stood up to Allison." She kept going on.

"Alright class, today im giving you the hour to conduct your interviews for your biographies." Coach Brooks said as everyone headed to their desks. "So partner up and get as much done as you can, the rest is up to you."

Monroe nodded at me to come towards him making the butterflies appear into my stomach again

I sat up with my notebook and sat in the empty desk to his left.

"Alright miss seven I'll be conducting your interview today." He smirked.

"Alright." I replied.

"What is your full name." He asked

"Seven Eleanor Knight." I answered.

"Where did you get the name Eleanor?"

"My grandmother Eleanor Nell Daniels."

He smiled.

"What is your full name?" I repeated back to him.

"Monroe Dawson Cittadino"
