A Week Later

I stood outside of school, waiting for Angela, Kasey and their boyfriends to arrive. We were supposed to go to my house for a study session because none of them understand Hamlet. I mean really, how hard is it to figure out?

Ten minutes went by and I still didn't see them, so I pulled out my cell phone and called Kasey.

"Hey Rowan" she said breathlessly.

"Where are you guys?" I asked

"Nash's house. His parents aren't home, so-"

"So you ditched me to have sex?"

"We're sorry Rowan. It's just that-"

"Sex is more important than your grades and your best friend."

I hung up on her and turned my phone off, tossing it into my bag. I looked around and saw no one, so I began my walk home. When I reached the corner I heard a voice say "Damn I'd like a piece of you."

I turned and saw Derek, one of the school jocks coming my way.

"Go away Derek" I told him.

"Aww Rowan why do you have to be that way?" he asked "All I wanted to do was say hi-"

"And try to convince me to go back to your house so you could have sex with me" I finished for him.

"Now why do you say that?" he asked.

"Because you do that with every girl."

"Well what if I told you I wanted more than that with you?"

"I wouldn't believe you."

I turned to leave, but he grabbed my arm, pulling me back to him. "Ow!" I yelled "Let me go!"

"No," he grinned "You're not going anywhere except with me."

"I said let me go creep!"

I tried to hit him, but he grabbed my other arm, pulling me even closer to him. I heard a motorcycle, then I heard a voice say "Let her go you little punk."

Derek let me go and turned to face whoever it was. I looked and saw that it was Randy Orton.

"He- hey man," stammered Derek "I- I didn't mean n- nothing by it."

"Obviously she doesn't want to go anywhere with you," Randy said "So take a hike."

Derek ran off and Randy bent down to grab my books. He handed them to me and asked "Are you all right?"

"Yeah" I whispered.

"Good thing I was riding by."

I nodded.

"It isn't safe for a pretty little thing like you to walk home alone."

"I can take care of myself" I told him.

"From what I just saw, you can't."

"Why do you care?"

Randy shrugged and took out a cigarette, putting it his mouth and lighting it. He took a drag, then said "Let me take you home."

"No" I said.

"Like I said, it isn't safe for a pretty young thing like you to walk home alone."

"With guys like you around, I wonder why."

He chuckled and took another drag of his cigarette. He pulled off his sunglasses and stared at me with the coldest blue eyes I've ever seen. He grabbed his helmet and threw it to me, I barely caught it.

"I'm not letting you take me home" I told him.

"Yes you are" he said.

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"Well I thought you didn't care."

"I don't, but I'm an adult and you're a kid. I don't need to see your dead body on the news and feel guilty."

I threw his helmet back at him and said "I'm almost an adult. And I highly doubt you would feel guilt."

"You're still a kid," he said "And kids are supposed to listen to their elders."

"Go away you sarcastic jerk!"

"You have a smart mouth kid."

"Stop calling me kid! My name is Rowan, not kid or pretty little thing!"

He took another drag of his cigarette before dropping it and stomping on it. He came closer to me and handed me his held his helmet out to me, I didn't take it. He came closer and I took a step back. He smirked and said "You know I'm not the bad guy everyone makes me out to be."

"That's what they all say" I told him.

"Yeah well it's true."

"I doubt it."

He came closer to me and said "You're coming with me Rowan. Okay?"

I'll never know why I answered the way I did. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was a curiosity to find out who exactly this guy was. All I know is before I could stop myself I said "Okay."

He smirked and handed me his helmet before getting on the motorcycle. "Come on" he said.

I put the helmet on and put my books in my bookbag before getting on.

"Hold on tight" he told me as he started the bike.

And believe me I did.

It's kind of a cliffhanger ending lol!
So Randy saved Rowan and now she's allowing him to take her home...

What do you think is going to happen next?

Review and let me know!
