Flynn brought me clothes and picked me up from the hospital. To me, it's way too soon for school. Maybe Duke was right. I shouldn't have come until I was completely ready. My injury is still hurting. Flynn suggested that I stay at home with Repede, but I refused. I kind of regret it now.
In the box that Duke gave me was a stack of papers and some pencils and at the bottom of the stack it said: "Do your homework!" I sure didn't find it that funny but Flynn did. Nothing to be jealous about now, huh?
Anyway, we arrived at school. Estelle greeted us by yelling out our names. Everyone stopped and stared including His Highness Ioder. The elf prince rushed over to me and was about to jump onto me but luckily his "rival" stopped him.
"Have you already forgotten that Yuri's hurt?" Flynn asked.
"… Perhaps, but I can't quite resist my love's natural charm."
"Well try harder."
From a distance, I saw Zagi walk into the building. He looked back at me and gave me a smug expression. I felt my face get hot and I clutched my stomach. Zagi stared in satisfaction at my reaction. I'd like to stab him a couple of times although Sodia is on my list first.
"What's wrong Yuri?" Estelle asked as she held onto my arm.
"Nothing. Come on. I'm ready to sit down."
"I'll take you to your classroom then." Flynn said.
"Thanks."
He walked close to me the entire way there. No one entered yet and no one was in this particular hallway. Flynn decided to take the initiative. He caressed the side of my stomach. I placed my hand on top of his.
"No one's around." Flynn said.
"Hmph. You turned into a bad boy." I laughed.
He smiled mischievously. I couldn't help but smile too. Unfortunately, my most favorite science teacher in the whole wide world noticed. He told us to move along. He watched us go to my first period class.
In the room, Duke sat at his desk with Commandant Alexei talking to him. They looked like they were having a serious conversation. Sensei seemed especially unhappy.
Duke took notice to Flynn and my presence and ushered us inside. I immediately sat down in a chair. The bell rang for the students to enter the building. That's when Alexei nodded his head to dismiss himself.
"I'll see you later." Flynn said.
I waved good-bye to him.
Duke smiled as if he knew about our relationship. I guess it is obvious. Maybe it's alright if Duke knows.

Fifth period is science. Class just started. The teacher stood behind his podium with a charming expression. He merrily spoke to the student body.
My desk sat next to the window. I really didn't want to hear him speak so I averted my attention to the outside. Although, when I heard him say Zagi's name my heart jumped. He came into the room with his usual crazy glare. The rich kids began whispering and everyone was scared. They most definitely should be.
The teacher pointed to the empty seat behind me. He had a large smile on his face. I guess he knows that Zagi was involved in my incident. What a bastard. Someone should get him fired.
Zagi smoothly approached the chair. He showed me his teeth and his desire for death. I don't plan to die this soon.
The teacher picked up his book and began to read to us. "Aer affects everything and everyone. What we eat, what we do, our health. A large amount of aer can kill us…"
He continued to talk. Of course I wasn't listening. Many other things caught my attention.
I felt Zagi staring at me. I wasn't going to meet his gaze though. Like I said before; many other things caught my attention.
"How did you survive?" he asked with much curiosity.
"Why are you talking to me?"
"I find you very attractive Yuri Lowell." He whispered in a deep tone. He took a strand of my hair and kissed it. "… But you'd look better drenched in blood."
I pulled all of my hair over my shoulder. Zagi has such cold hands.
He touched the back of my neck lightly and blew air.
"Leave me alone." I snarled.
Zagi just laughed under his breath. "The teacher doesn't like you, right? I could simply say something like 'Yuri hit me!' and he'd do whatever teachers normally do."
"Shut up."
I heard Zagi stand up. Everyone turned to look at him, besides me. He came to the side of my desk. It surprised me when he grabbed me by the collar. Zagi pulled me closer to his body and inched his face closer to mine. He said "Your personality is one of a kind. It really turns me on. By the time I'm done with you in the janitor's closet you won't be so tough."
"What?"
Already making sexual comments in public. This guy is truly nuts. He won't be in a relationship any time soon.
"Knock it off you two." Sensei called. "You can settle this in detention."
That's the last thing I wanted. I just really want to lie in bed.
Zagi showed satisfaction. I sighed to the result.

I sat as far away from Zagi as possible. I told Flynn that I had detention and he said that he'd pick me up later. He wasn't surprised at all. It's a shame really after all of the things he finds obvious that I do, but I didn't do anything this time. Good thing I didn't tell him that it's just with Zagi and me. Flynn would freak out but I can handle my own problem.
Sensei was talking on his cell phone. We all know there's a killer in the room. Does he honestly think Zagi won't murder him?
A few minutes later, sensei hung up and dashed out of the room along with his stuff. How wonderful. I assume that's my cue to leave.
Zagi didn't move from the desk as he sharpened his pocket knife. I made my way to the door when Zagi blocked my path suddenly.
He put the knife back into his pocket and asked "Where are you going?"
"What the hell? Why do you insist on bothering me so much?"
"Because you should be dead but you're not. Now I've got some strange attraction to you. Maybe it'll go away after you die, or another way…"
Zagi put his hand on my shoulder. He told me "I promise I won't bother you anymore if you do something for me."
"Well," I took the maniac's hand off. "I'd rather not. Clearly you haven't heard but I have a boyfriend."
Realizing the maniac would not budge any time soon, I just turned back around and sat in my seat. I had nothing to do to pass the time by for the remainder of detention either. Damn it's boring in here.
Silence lingered in the room. The clock ticking annoyed me. The birds stopped chirping at this time of day. The sun was setting and the room was slowly becoming darker.
The entire classroom glowed orange and yellow. It actually looked like a decent room. (Even if there is a psycho in here.)
Zagi seemed to pay no mind to the dramatic change in the room. Although I'm more surprised that he's still here. Why won't he let me leave? He has to be more bored than I am with all of those maniacal fantasies running through his dangerous mind.
Zagi smiled at me when he caught me staring. Immediately, I turned away. The pocket knife still lay on his desk. It was sharper than ever.
"Give me something to do, Lowell." Zagi demanded.
"Like what?" I said with attitude.
The killer got up from his seat. Honestly, I need to know when to say something and when NOT to say something. Believe it or not, it actually affects people. Even serial killers.
Zagi slammed his hand on my desk. I nonchalantly looked up at him. He wasn't irritated, mad, or annoyed like I was trying to get him. Instead, he looked amazed and satisfied. It made my heart jump (not in the good way). Deep down inside, I felt scared. My heart kept racing faster as Zagi continued to look me in the eyes.
Without warning, Zagi pulled me from the desk and pinned me against the wall. The maniac restrained my wrists above my head. His grip was so tight and firm that it hurt. I refused to make any sounds though. He'd only get more turned on than he already is. How come I attract the weird people? Why can't it be Flynn? Without Sodia around, it's not fair that only I have a crazy stalker. Maybe everyone I hang out with needs one… Especially Ioder.
Zagi moved my dark, long hair out of my face. The psycho gazed into my grey eyes for a while. I noticed that the expression in his eyes softened a little as he went in to steal a kiss.
Surprisingly, his lips were soft and smooth. He kissed better than Flynn too. Although the moment did feel nice, I didn't want Zagi. I love Flynn. Flynn has been too good to me for me to enjoy another guy's lips.
I broke away from Zagi's mouth. My hair covered my face again as I turned away from the killer.
His grip on my wrists got tighter as I heard him exhale aggressively. Zagi grabbed my face to force me to look at him. The room got much darker now but I could still see the glow in Zagi's red eyes.
Zagi tilted my head upward and kissed me more aggressively. It hurt a lot just like a burn, but he didn't care. The killer bit my bottom lip and continued to kiss me.
My voice was muffled under Zagi's lips. I couldn't break free either. The criminal had me underneath him and I couldn't do anything about it until he finished with me… IF he finishes.
"Stop…!" I gasped out. It only escaped my mouth for a short moment when Zagi dominated over me again.
His body was pressed hard against mine. I had nowhere to go since I just so happened to be tightly wedged between a man and a wall.
The pain got so bad on my lips and wrists that a couple of screams slipped out.
"Ngh! Aah!" I yelled.
Just as I thought. Zagi loved it. He wanted to hear it again. The crazy look in his eyes came back again. It obviously wasn't going to disappear forever, but as long as I was pinned against a wall in his grasp, I didn't want that look to appear. My heart was beating faster from fear. Hopefully my eyes didn't show it. If they did; hopefully Zagi can't see it.
Zagi's teeth struck my neck. Things got way out of hand after that.
The crazy guy tried to undress me but luckily that didn't happen.
"No!" I yelled.
If only Flynn were here to save me. This wouldn't have escalated to a point where I found myself screaming for help. I want to see my boyfriend even more than any other time before.
Our chests were against each other. Zagi's heart was beating fast but not as fast as mine. The serial killer must've felt my heart because satisfaction spread across his dirty face. The killer grinned ear to ear as if he completed a mission. He knew that an opportunity like this would come again, and next time I might not be so lucky.
"Yuri!" Zagi said as he was catching his breath. "I want you so bad. Choose me instead."
"If I don't?"
He laughed against my neck. The hot air sent shivers down my spine. Zagi then kissed my bare neck gently. That time gave me goose bumps. He can manipulate my body better than anyone. We all know that isn't good. His mind isn't only dangerous; it's dirty too.
The killer's eyes met mine one last time for the night. "Then we'll have an erotic scene next time in detention, okay?"
Zagi gave me a peck on the lips before he took his knife and left the classroom.
He left me standing against the wall still. In my mind, I couldn't believe that happened but it did. Now I have to tell the Almighty Flynn about this and I don't want him to get in Zagi's face… or mine.
I touched my lips. They're swollen a little and a little sensitive. He made me feel sick to my stomach. I let myself sink to the floor as I prepared myself on how to tell Flynn. He's going to be so mad.
Instead of waiting for him to get me, I left the school to go to my lover's apartment. I took my time getting there since my heart was still beating so fast. The closer I got home, the fainter I felt.
The people in the Lower Quarter were staring as I walked through town. I must've looked how I felt; guilty and sick.
About five minutes later, I reached Flynn's door. My legs and hands were shaking as I tried to unlock his door. I couldn't get the key in the key hole no matter how hard I tried. My aim was off as I felt more lightheaded.
"Let me help you with that." A familiar voice said from behind me.
He placed his hands on mine as we unlocked the door together. My heart shot up to my neck when I saw that it was Flynn Scifo himself.
Flynn noticed my awkwardness right away. Everything on my body had been trembling the entire way here but now that I'm here sitting down on Flynn's bed next to him, I feel so much worse. Where should I even begin?
I swallowed hard to try to get the lump out of my throat. "Um, Flynn? I let something bad happen…"
By looking at his face, he wasn't surprised but that's because he doesn't know what I let happen.
I continued on. "Zagi and I were in detention and… we kissed."
"What!" He shouted standing up from the bed.
"I'm so sorry!" I shouted back twice as loud. I put my face in my hands and cried silently. "At first I wasn't thinking but then things got out of hand. He was forcing himself on me and I wanted you to rescue me but…!" Without realizing it, I stared crying again.
Maybe, in some ways, Flynn wasn't mad at me but I was. That shouldn't have happened. Next time I definitely can't get detention, at least with Zagi anyways.
My beloved Flynn saw past this and hugged me as I cried more on his shoulder. Should I be the one feeling guilty?
"I love you too much to have someone else take you away from me." Flynn said. "In my eyes, you belong to me, Yuri Lowell."
"I love you too, Flynn." My voice cracked because I started crying again. Yep, I should be feeling guilty. There's a reason why I can't stop crying. That must be why.
I spent the night at Flynn's. We talked about our day at school, reminisced, and did things that people in relationships do. Too bad that no matter how many times Flynn kissed me, Zagi kissed much better. I didn't tell him that though.
Flynn made me feel better. I almost forgot all about my betrayal. I will never do that again.
At the end of the night, Flynn and I cuddled on his bed with the lights off. My mind is probably just as dirty as that serial killer. I wanted to do more with Flynn than just kissing and cuddling. I've been thinking about that for a while now but I'll say it unless Almighty Flynn brings it up himself… I shouldn't be thinking of these things. It's disgusting. Just being in Flynn's arms is good enough for me.
To be continued…
