Nudge was actually quiet for once. I think she was embarrassed to be with me. She said she wasn't, but I think she was just saying that to make me feel better.
Dylan, Fang and Gazzy had been my protectors today, yelling and pushing at guys who wolf whistled, made snappy comments and flashed money at me today.
We were sitting at the tables in the cafeteria. Nudge, Dylan and Gazzy sat with me. Max and Fang were off in their own little world outside and Iggy was sitting at a table in the corner by himself, tossing an apple around in his hands. That's where he normally was.
"Hey sexy, loved your dance" a guy said as he walked past me, shaking his hips.
"I'll give you 20 bucks if you replay it for me again, just me and you" another guy said, winking, until Gazzy shoved him away and growled something threatingly.
I sighed and stared off into space, hoping it would pass soon. I had been taking crap like this all day.
I just let it pass though, I wasn't about to run off and cry, I would handle it, that's the kind of girl I was.
Just then the most beautiful thing I had ever seen stood in my line of sight.
"Who, is, that?" I breathed to Nudge.
She giggled as she saw where I was looking.
"That is Alex Apollo" Nudge giggled.
There he stood. Tall, broad, muscular, impossibly black hair, dark green eyes, tanned face with a few cute freckles on the bridge of his nose, dark washed jeans, black shirt with 'Killer' scribbled on it in flames and a leather jacket.
"He just got here today. Girls are dropping at his feet. He's literally drop dead gorgeous. I guess his last name suits him, it means destroyer according to Carly" Nudge sighed.
Iggy's POV
My life is over. I was walking into school today when I heard it. That laugh. That walk. That deadly voice that sucked you in. Alex was here.
I couldn't breathe. I wasn't paying attention and my hip hit the edge of the wall and I swore.
"Iggy?" Alex asked and I continued to swear under my breath.
"Hey Alex" I said through my teeth. "Wow, long time no see" he laughed and I growled. "You should know about that" I snapped.
"Easy buddy" he said and I could tell he was smirking.
"We haven't been 'buddies' in a long time, and that's not about to change" I said going to walk off but he grabbed my elbow.
"I'm sorry about what happened Ig, but I want you to know I don't regret a thing. I would do it all over again and I'm sorry you got the worst of it. I'm not here to make things better, I haven't changed. Don't look for something that's not here, so you stay out of my way and let me do my thing, and I'll stay out of your way" he whispered low so the girls around him would hear.
"You disgust me" I hissed and pulled out of his grip and stormed off.
I sat alone once again at lunch. There were only a few minutes to go anyways.
I was still running through my convocation with Alex.
I was remembering the old times.
Why was he here? Who would his new victim be?
He was a woman hunter. He'd pick his target, make them fall in love then crush them, leaving them crying and scarred for life. Then move on to the next one.
I had seen some of his best work. I knew what it was like to see the damage of what he had done. I knew what he was.
I heard him walk up not too far from my table and then I heard it. "Hi" he said. It was that voice. He had this catch in his voice that he used when he had chosen his next target. I had heard it time after time. I listened carefully, trying to see who his target was this time.
"Hi" Ella giggled.
