God! It was Wednesday already!

The past 3 days have just been plain weird. Everyone was pestering Emily trying to get her to "enhance" her ability. I swear if I have to hear the words "what did you see" once more, I am going to crack.

I was left alone to do as a pleased for 3 days. Which was nice, but no I didn't go wild.

Me and Jacob just spent some time together (like everyone second of those 3 days) and he even stayed with me in the night. But no we didn't do anything.He just looked like he'd been tortured at the mention of him going home. So he stayed. And it was lovely.

Jacob insisted that he drove me to College this morning; it wasn't raining for a change today so I was in a good mood. Especially since Jacob was around.

"Jake I have to go" I mumbled against his lips, but he just tightened his grip on me even more.

"No…" he was practically growling at me as I tried to get free.

"YES! Bad dog!" he laughed then, and let go of me but not before he snuck in another kiss.

"I'll pick you up later babe"

I shut the car door and leaned down through the window "Jake…" I grinned "Love you"

"Love you too"

And that was the last I saw of him for the day. It felt weird without him, but id cope.

And as for the college it was - it was very modern put it that way.

I followed the directions that I was given in my pack when I enrolled to the Health and Social Care floor, found my lecture room, and sat down (ignoring all the stares from the other boys in the room) next to a very obvious looking gay guy, because they're always the easiest to bond with. And to be honest, they usually had a great sense of humour.

"Hey! My names Christian" he was full of beans.

"Kate" I smiled

By the time we got through the introduction of the class, and then went through the palaver of "getting to know each other" exercises id instantly made some friends. We just clicked and it was great.

I'd also had the misfortune to meet the other guys in the class, who clearly loved themselves. And were also clearly straight.

We finally had some time to go and get something to eat, so it was a good time to just sit and talk with my new friends; Christian, Jen and lara.

We were all sitting round a small table laughing and joking about everything, when one of the guys from class came over to us.

"Well hello there" Christian battered his eyelids.

"Ah dude, im not into that kind of faggot behaviour, I came over to talk to this pretty lady"

I pray to god he was not talking about me. But sure enough he was.

I turned round and looked at him.

"Are you serious?"

"Aww baby, no need to be in shock that im talking to you. Im Shawn, and you are?"

"Not interested" I stood up, I don't like any man talking down to me. "And I was asking if you were serious about what you just said to my friend. I don't appreciate your cave man attitude"

"Oh you go girlfriend!" that was Christian again.

"Baby don't me like that" Shawn reached out to touch me on the arm

"don't touch me, idiot, and stop calling me baby. Coz you better get this and get it fast. Im not some air head who's going to play lapdog with you. So you better run along and go play with your friends over there" I waved bitchely (just roll with it) at the table of boys. Dismissed Shawn with a cold look, and sat back down.

I swear, everywhere I go there's always someone to annoy me.

The day was over before I knew it, but it wasn't going to be like this all the time. They had warned us of the amount of work that we would be getting. Great.

I could see Jacob in his car waiting for me, and I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I made my way over to it.

Then someone pulled my arm so hard I thought they pulled it out of its socket but thank god I managed to hide the expression on my face as the pain sliced up through my arm.

I was jerked to a halt with a groan, and was turned around to find who else – Shawn.

"Look. I don't know who the hell you thought you were talking to today, but no one especially not a girl treats me like that."

The grip he had on my arm was like a vice, a very painful vice.

"Well get used to being put black in your place Shawn, because this isn't School anymore, and you don't own the place. And you don't own me. You were a big fish in a small pond back there, and now you're just a small fish in a big pond. So get over it."

The look on his face told me everything, id really struck a nerve.

"You little Slu-"

He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence because I was yanked out of his grip, even harder than he'd grabbed me, and was shoved behind something buff.

Oh god it was Jake.

I couldn't help the water that filled up my eyes at the pain, and I winced a little.

"You wanna finish that sentence?" Jacob was right in his face, and Shawn looked terrified.

"Dude, calm down"

"No I won't fucking calm down. Im just supposed to overlook the fact that I saw you grab my girl like that, am i!" I put my hand on Jacob back, and stepped around him.
But not between him and Shawn.

Shawn was backing up now. But Jacob wasn't going anywhere.

"Look, it was just a joke. Wasn't it Kate?" he shot me a pleading look

"No Shawn, it wasn't a joke" I smiled coldly.

Jacob was shouting now and shaking slightly, I kept rubbing his arm (even though it was mine that needed rubbing) trying to calm him down.

"YOU EVER! EVER! TOUCH MY GIRL AGAIN. AND ILL KILL YOU!"

"Ok, ok sorry" Shawn practically ran back to his friends.

And I was literally dragged back to Jacobs's car. By the bad arm!

Jacob was absolutely furious, his knuckles were turning white on the steering wheel he was gripping it so tightly.

"Jacob please calm down, your scaring me" Shawn had scared me too but I didn't show him.

Jacob slowed the car down a little, and looked at me.

"I can't believe he did that to you! That ASSHOLE" he thumped the steering wheel and I jumped, wincing at the pain in my arm.

He caught that, and pulled the car over instantly.

"Show me your arm!" I didn't move.

"Don't shout at me please" he calmed his breathing.

"Please show me your arm?" he looked at me with a painful expression.

"No there's no need, it's nothing I haven't dealt with before." And I wasn't lying, have you ever been grabbed by a 6ft tall police officer? Well if you haven't. It hurts.
He sighed heavily and leaned over to me "please babe, I need to see what he's done"

"Oh, Jake he hasn't done anything!" I didn't want to admit that he'd hurt me. Don't want to let him bruise more than my arm.

"KATE! Show me! For my sanity"

I just rolled my eyes and sighed heavily, pulling my arm out of my sleeve, flashing my bra as I did. But Jake didn't even notice.

"Oh god" he ran his hot hands over my upper arm. It was very red, and a little purple. That Shawn had some strength. "I can't believe I let this happen to you"
that was it.

"Jacob stop! I don't need a minder all day long. This was nothing to do with you. That Shawn has serious ego problems. And I chewed him out in front of all his little friends, because he was making remarks about Christian the gay guy in my class. And he didn't like it"

"That's no excuse for what he did. Honestly I saw you get pulled by him. Don't think I didn't see how hard he jerked you"

I just put my arm back in my sleeve and sat there looking at him.

"Can we just go home now"

for once in my life, I did something good for someone. Defending Christian felt great; he shouldn't have to deal with that abuse. And it kind of made the burses on my arm worthwhile. At least they weren't from being grabbed by the police.
