Ok, I'm sorry it's been a while since I've last updated this story, so here you are. This is a short one, and not my favorite, since Carwyn's mad throughout the whole thing, and I don't like to write about my characters being mad. Mainly because it's soo hard to find other things to say than "she was mad".

CH. 4- Disgruntled

"Hey Car, how was school?" her mom looked up from fixing dinner.

"Fine," she gave her automatic response.

"Who was that who just dropped you off?" her mom queried.

"…Someone from school."

"A friend?"

"Sure, mom," Carwyn ran upstairs to do her homework.

The next day dawned cold and grey. Carwyn shivered as she got dressed for school in an attractive black sweater and blue jeans. Grabbing a quick breakfast, she ran out the door. Not watching where she was going, she ran straight into someone as soon as she reached the sidewalk.

"Mornin' gorgeous!" David looked down at her.

"Morning gorgeous?" Carwyn looked up to see who was talking, "Oh, it's you. What the hell are you doing her anyway?"

"I've come to be your knight in shining armor, that's all!" David smiled wide.

Carwyn had a quick intake of breath before she caught herself. "Bastard," she muttered under her breath.

"That's not nice when I show up to take you to school."

"You heard that? Oh, right, you have a dog's hearing," Carwyn laughed.

A look spread over David's face and he looked at her as if he was looking for something, but his face went back to normal quickly and he smiled, "May I take you to school in my chariot?"

"No."

"I'll have to threaten to ride your bus again," he winked down at her, "and this time I'd have to ride home with you, too."

"What is it with you and following me?! You can just leave me alone you arrogant pissant!" Carwyn turned to walk towards the bus, and David turned to dog her steps.

Carwyn turned around, fuming, "I said leave me alone!"

"I can't do that, sweet pea. I gotta keep you safe," David's eyes twinkled.

"I'm safer by myself, without you!" she stomped off.

Carwyn arrived at the bus stop angry, pissed off, and down right mad-as-hell. David loped along and arrived just behind her, calm and seemingly ignorant of the flames Carwyn sent at him with her eyes. When the bus arrived and she got on, she sat next to Katie, and all the seats around her were full, forcing David to sit two seats behind her. Katie, sensing her anger, said nothing.

The high school students unloaded from the bus very clumsily and dogged out the bus door, and David still would not leave her alone. She normally met up with friends in the cafeteria, and when she sat down with them, he did too.

Disgruntled, she turned to him, "Are you going to mimic all my actions too?"

"Only if you want me to." Everyone around laughed, but she glowered at them and they returned to their original conversation.

"There's a really awesome movie out now. It's called 'Twilight'," Jess continued.

"Oh, I heard of that. Didn't Stephenie Meyer write the book its based off of?" Katie asked.

"Yea. Great book, huh?" Liz added.

"Great? No, there are no words to describe how much I loved her books," Katie said.

Liz was nodding, "I know! I couldn't stop reading them; I'd stay up all night!"

"Exactly! You know, though, I always thought Bella's Edward had a bit of resemblance to our own Edward. That would be cool if our Edward was really a vampire too," Katie sighed.

"Yea," Jess said, "but he's not pale at all. He's just a recluse, that's all. Besides, he goes out in the day all the time, and if he really was Edward, he'd know what we are thinking and be gone by today."

Liz gazed into space, "True, but I can dream, can't I?"

"Sure," Jess agreed with rolling eyes, "but don't expect him to bite you anytime soon!"

Everyone laughed just as the bell rang. Carwyn stood up, but tripped over the bench and started to fall backwards. Suddenly David caught her before she hit her head on the ground, and she ended up in his arms like the wife who was going to be carried over the threshold of their new home.

When the stun wore off, Carwyn blushed to find herself where she was. "You can put me down now," she said.

David searched her face to see if she was ok, and when he was satisfied, a teasing twinkle entered his eye, "No. I find I quite like you helpless in my arms."

This time the red in her face was from anger, "Put me down right now, you big oaf!"

"Oaf? I wasn't the one who fell over the bench, sweet pea."

David hugged her closer to him and he rubbed his forehead in her shoulder and neck. Carwyn blushed a deeper red.

"David put me down now or so help me God I'll kill you!"

"Oh, fine, pussycat." He slid her from his arms.

Carwyn turned towards David, and putting all her force into her swing, she slapped him across the cheek. Pain exploded in her hand, and she hunkered over it.

"Owe, damn it!" Carwyn clutched her hand to her as David looked on passively, "Didn't that even hurt you?"

David burst out laughing, "Maybe you should hit harder next time!"

Her jaw dropped, "If I hit harder next time, I'll break my hand off!"

Carwyn stomped off, "David still laughing as he followed. The friends who witnessed the exchange chuckled as they headed off to class.

Next chappy is coming soon, don't worry! Also, if anyone will please read "Grandparents" and give your honest opinions on that one. One person has expressed their intrest in it being continued, but I don't know. If more people say the same, I think I might.

Also, just because we all know that the movie 'Twilight' comes out in Dec. of 08 does not mean that indicates the time of this story. I really hate writing time in stories, so I don't generally, as a rule.
