5. Chapter 4

I was walking the short stretch from the wood to the school and I tripped over something in the darkness.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed, when I caught sight of the hunched figure that tripped me up.

The figure moved and stood a good 5" above me.

"What do you think you're doing, crouching there in the da-"

The face of the figure came into contact with the moonlight and i saw the last person I had expected to see.

"Why aren't you in bed?" he asked

"Why are you crouching in the mud?" i retorted.

"Touché. But I'm the teacher here so you listen to me and do as i say. Got it?" he quipped. His tone had changed from cocky and immature to self-assured and steady.

He was no longer the 'older teenager' we could toy around with, like he was this afternoon at lunch. He knew what he was doing and wasn't going to let a bunch of giggly girls stand in his way.

"I was just on my way back to my room."

"Where were you?"

"I was taking a walk."

"Why?"

"Dude! Back off! I just went for a walk OK?" I snapped at him. "I'm not asking you why you were hooking up with some slut!"

"Wha-"

"I'm going to bed." I cut him off.

I turned on my heel and began walking toward the building. A floodlight landed on me and I dropped to the floor by instinct.

A strong hand gripped my arm feircely and yanked me up.

"Its ok, shes with me." He reassured.

The guards that had been running toward us nodded and walked back to their posts.

I pulled my arm from his grip and carried on to my room.

"Excuse me." Nathan called after me in a commanding tone.

"What?" I span round to find him right in front of me. I stepped back. His dark eyes pierced through me but I ignored the sensation.

"Don't let me catch you here again."
