"What class do you have now?" Tyrone asked me.
"P.E." I replied.
"Cool. My class is on the way there so I'll walk you."
"Great!" I said a bit too happy. An embarrassed blush creeped onto my cheeks and I cleared my throat and looked away which left us to an awkward silence.
While walking, lost in thought, Tyrone cleared his throat and entangled his fingers with mine. "So...." He trailed off.
"Uh huh...." I urged him to continue. His hands felt really comfortable in mine and I also really loved the sparks.
"Want to play twenty questions while we walk?" He asked.
"Yeah. You go first."
"Okay. What's your favorite color?"
"Uhmmmm....I don't really have one. It's according to my mood and seasons. So, for now it's purple."
"Cool."
"What's yours?"
"I like forest green."
"Nice."
"What's your real hair color?"
"It's blond." I said a bit embarrassed as I recalled the events that led me to change it in the first place.
And the questions went on and on but it didn’t reach twenty because we reached my class room. To my complete surmise, Ashley stood in the door way with her arms crossed over her chest and a murdering glare on her face. Her nose had a bandage on it and her face along with some parts on her arms held scratches and cuts. And to think she would stay away from me after I threw her out the window. By the way why is she here anyways??
"What the f**k are you doing with my boyfriend you freak?!!" She screeched.
"Boyfriend?" I asked her confused and letting go of Tyrone’s hand.
"What the hell are you on about Ashley?" I thought she didn't have one because they broke up. And I don't even know the guy!
"Shut the f**k up w***e! You know damn well what I'm talking about! My boyfriend that your standing with right now." She pointed at Tyrone. To be honest I felt completely hurt by her words and I had only met Tyrone for an hour.
"Everyone knows you're a huge slut but you don’t have to show it more by stealing someone's boyfriend and showing it off like it's something to be proud of." I was so angry to the point where I was shaking. I swear if she doesn’t stop talking, I'm going to rip her throat out!
"It's not. You’re just disgusting!" She continued. I turned to Tyrone angry and hurt. My fist was clenched and my teeth were gritted. "You're her boyfriend?" I said surprisingly calm.
"No. We broke up because I found my ma--...uhh someone better." He said narrowing his eyes at her and boy did he look pissed. Gone was the peaceful, caring and happy face of Tyrone Evans. Now the boy just looks plain out scary.
The b***h just didn't know when to stop.
"Tsk tsk tsk.... It’s amazing what guys would do to get in a girl's pants. You're nothing but an easy f**k you know."
"Shut the f**k up Ashley!" Both Tyrone and I shouted at the same time. Her eyes snapped to Tyrone's and she going up close to his face and said, "why?! You don't want your silly little plan to fail? Huh?" And she went closer and closer. To close for my f*****g liking.
I don't know what happened or how, but somehow Ashley was pinned against the wall by me and I had my hands around her neck. She couldn't breathe and I knew it, but I didn’t bother to remove my hands. "You know what your problem is? Your mouth. That's your f*****g problem! You don't know when to shut your f*****g mouth!"
Her face was turning red and she was clawing at my hands that were strangling her. "Nelly you’re going to kill her!" Tyrone said. But I ignored him. "Nelly let go!"
"No!" I growled. Growled?
"Fuck." I heard him say. Then he held me by my waist and pulled me away sending Ashley onto the floor in the process. Ha! Serves her right.
When he placed me on the floor, I punched him in the face. His eyes hardened and he was clenching his jaw. He looked terrifying right now. Oh, s**t I should not have done that. Tyrone gripped my hand and dragged me to an empty class room. When we reached the room, he held both of my hands at my side and buried his face in my neck and I think he was smelling me? But he was still holding my hands very tight and it started to hurt. "You're hurting me." I said to him.
His face snapped to mines and it was no longer angry but his eyes held concern and something else. And then his eyes went to my hands and he quickly let go. "I'm so sorry Nelly. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don’t be mad at me. It's just that you punched me and I got angry and...."
"It's okay. I’m sorry for punching you." I said and started to walk away but he went In front of me stopping me. "Wait."
"What?"
"You're mad at me."
"No I'm not mad at you." I lied. Why am I mad again?? and why am I lying about it to him??
"You're lying. Please don't be mad at me Nelly I didn't mean for that to happen. I’ll do anything you want just don’t be mad please." He practically begged. And I didn’t actually understand why either. Really, I didn’t understand quite a lot at this point.
As I looked into those grey orbs, I wondered how could I possibly be mad at him? I sighed in defeat and said, "okay. I won't be mad."
I don't understand it. Why was I feeling like this for a guy I just met? I barely know him.
