MLC- Chapter 13

I walked over to Jared and he got up to 'protected' his girlfriend. I smirked at him.

"So why are you going around telling people I am a slut?" I stepped in his face.

"What should I be afraid of you?" He asked. I smirked.

"You should be terrified." Was my reply as I raised my fist to hit him. But it never made contact with him. I turned to see Matt was the one stopping me. I was angry.

"What are you doing!" Matt asked me. I just stared at Jared.

"Taking out the trash. That's all." I replied. Jared smirked.

"Go sit over by Shane." Matt commanded. I stared at him.

"You are not going to fight my battles Matt. I am big girl." I said defending myself.

"You are right, but battles don't take place here." Matt calmly said. I knew he was right but I hated defeat. I walked away fuming. Shane and Shannon were withholding their laughter. I wanted to hit them for laughing but knew I would be doing the same if roles were reversed. I sat on the bench and Matt came and sat next to me.

"Calm down." Matt soothed. I took a deep breath. He pulled me so I leaned against him. He rubbed his hand up and down my arms, sending goose bumps down them. He kissed my cheek. I turned so I was facing him and wrapped my arms around him, and then put my head in the crook of his neck. I moved my head a little and nipped his neck.

"Ow… what are you doing?" He half chuckled, half whined. I laughed and he kissed me. The bell rang and I got up. It was time to go finish up the rest of the day.

As I was walking to my last class someone came from behind me and pushed me into a locker. I turned around to see Jared and bunch of his buddies. I took a breath, and counted to ten.

"Oh look…it's Jerri." Jared said.

"Wow… it takes a big man to have his buddies with him to corner a girl." I sneered. Not the best choice, but oh well. Jared looked angry. He lifted his fist and swung at me, just as the bell rung. I ducked down just in time, and tried to get threw their arm and just barely managed to get away. I ran to my classroom.

"Your late. This is your warning got that." My teacher said. I rushed to my seat pulled out my notebook. I was shaking so I couldn't take notes very well. The hour ticked by slowly. When the bell rang I waited for a few moments before gathering my things. When I got out the door I looked for Matt but there was no sign of him. I went to the parking lot and found them waiting. I smiled at Matt and we all piled in the car. I sat in front with Matt and Jessica leaned against Jeff in the backseat. By now my nerves had calmed down. We rode in almost complete silence except for the giggling from the backseat. I put my hand on top of Matt's.

When we reached the house, we knew immediately that Gilbert was still working and Daisy had a meeting so we were alone again until 7 pm. I headed upstairs and threw my bag in my room. Matt followed me upstairs.

"Are you ok?" He asked. I smiled. He knew me too well.

"I'm good." I replied and kissed him. I caressed his face and kissed him again. He smiled at me. We went in his room and shut the door. I kissed him and again this time trying to take off his shirt.

"Jer… don't start if you're not going to finish it." He warned. I smiled and kissed him. This is what I wanted.
