Seth
I walked with my head held a little higher the next day as Davis escorted me to my classes. His rough hand held mine so tightly as we walked towards Mr. Hattrick's classroom.
"Do you want me to wait for you to go in?" He asked placing his head against mine. I shook my head.
"I think you need to get to class on time today. I'll be fine." I smiled widely at him. I felt the students around us gawking.
"Okay well I'll be here when you get out." He smiled back at me and kissed my forehead. As his lips left I felt a tingle from where they were seconds before and wished they were still there.
"You better be or I'll beat up up." I joked. He laughed a little and let go of me. I reached out to touch him one last time before he walked back down the stairs.
"Good morning students." Mr. Hattrick's voice boomed as he walked up, holding his keys to unlock the door. The crowd moaned at he opened the door and turned on the light. I started to follow everyone in as I felt a hand grab my wrist. I started to smile before realizing the hand was slightly softer than Davis's.
"One moment." Max's voice said from behind me and a wave of panic filled my entire body. "Mr. Hattrick sir." He said. The teacher turned around and looked at Max.
"Yes Max what is it?" He adjusted his glasses as he spoke. I tried pulling away but Max's grip was tight.
"I need to escort Miss Jade here to the office. Dr. Crabblesnitch would like to speak to her." I looked at the portly man and shook my head in fear. He looked back at me with a frown.
"Very well." The teacher turned his back on me and walked to his desk to sit down and pull a chocolate bar from his desk drawer. I started to cry out but Max had shut the door.
"Let's go." He said through gritted teeth as he pulled me angrily down the stairs.
"You said the Dr. Crabblesnitch needed to see me." I tried to hold it together even though I knew what he said was a lie. He pulled me around the corner toward the janitors closet, Seth walked around the corner.
"Max. Where are you going?" Seth asked suspiciously. He looked at my distressed face and took my other arm.
"Outside." Max said almost too quickly, not letting up on my arm.
"And she's going with you?" Seth asked trying to pull me away from him. I moved toward Seth praying he won the tug of war battle. Max began to dig his nails into my wrist as I tugged away.
"Yes, I am bringing her out of the building. She was skipping class." Max said glaring at me. I shook my head.
"Then why not bring her to her class?" Seth pulled one more time and Max let go of me.
"You're right Seth. I wasn't thinking." Max glared at me and walked away. As soon as he was around the corner Seth pulled me toward the janitor closet and pushed me in. As soon as the door shut behind him he let go of me. I looked around the dark room in a panic. The only other way out was down the stairs where I would be scalded to death by the steam. I ran to the corner and curled up in a ball as the large Seth cornered me.
