He is hot I will admit it, but full of himself.

He knows he's hot and knows all girls know that but I won't give him the satisfaction of knowing I do.

'How does she know Carlos?', 'maybe she is his fuck buddy .' , 'she looks like she's in a gang or something.'. Those ladies and gentlemen are the things I heard going to my class.

I ignored them because they mean nothing and walked to my locker confidently.

I took the books I need and walked to Levi's locker which is on the other side. We agreed on meeting there after I finish my call because we have math together.

Finally!

I walked to his locker to see that he isn't there yet. I leaned on the one next to him and waited.

"Move" a familiar deep voice said making me turn.

I let out a sigh and said " this is my first day and we've already met a lot...ugh is this your locker?", his hazel eyes shined with amusement and he said " aha".

I let out a huff and moved, he opened it and asked " what are you doing here? Isn't your locker on the other side.".

I crossed my arms with my book and said " you're creepy you know?".

He chuckled and asked " why is that?".

" first you sneak up on me and hear my conversation with my father and now you know where my locker is." I scoffed.

He hummed then said "fair enough.".

Levi came and I turned my attention to him.

" heyyyyy" I greeted to which he smiled but it soon turned into a frown as he looked behind me.

I looked back to see a hard glare on Carlos' face, I am a sucker for drama and I really wanna know what beef they had but I will pass on this one.

I snapped my fingers to get Levi's attention which I successfully did and said " uhhhh...I know we just met today and this may be too early but my father wants to meet you....he uhm likes to keep my circle of friends known...".

He blinked a little more than usual then said "I mean...sure I guess.".

I laughed at his face and said " you don't have to do it if you don't want to, it's okay.".

He shook his head and said " nah it's fine.", I nodded and waited for him to grab his book.

I can feel heat on my neck and Carlos' gaze on my back which isn't really great because it's kinda pissing me off but also making me want to squirm.

I finally had enough and turned to him to see his eyes on me, I raised an eyebrow and asked " what?!".

He smirked and tilted his head then asked " what what?" Innocently.

I rolled my eyes and was about to say more when Levi said " let's go.". I shot him one last glare to which he clenched his jaw.

I turned my head to my front and focused on walking beside Levi.

The last thing I heard of that hallway is him slamming the locker shut.

" look I know I don't have the right to tell you what to do but be careful around him, I don't want you to be one of his flings that would think they're different and end up getting hurt." Concern clear as water in his voice.

he very much reminds me of nathan, ahh nathan..... my bestfriend and ex.

we knew each other ever since we were 13 then started dating at 15 and that's when I lost my virginity to him. we then broke up and decided to be best friends instead.

more like he did and it hurt me not gonna lie but I pretended not to care and hid my emotions to make things less awkward.

we still talk, in fact I don't think we will ever stop. he understands me and I too.

him and levi are very much alike except that I don't think I will ever be with levi, nathhan on the other hand was my everything.

I am over him but I still feel a little something when he's mentioned.

I smiled and said " I am careful v and don't worry about me, I don't do feelings or dating anymore so if I ever get involved in anything with him it won't hurt me if he doesn't care. That's if which is not even gonna happen.".

He swung his arm around my shoulders and said " that definitely makes me feel better.".

I leaned my head on his shoulder and said " I'm glad it does.".

I know...a little too touchy but it's sincere not lustful.

We pulled away once we reached our class and knocked on the door.

We got in and every single pair of eyes looked at us.

The teacher who's about 5'11 and is probably in his mid 40s with his dark locks mixed with grey as evidence of his age smiled and said " a little late but good afternoon.".

I love teachers like him , I can already tell I will love math this year.

I smiled and replied "good afternoon.", he nodded and said " I am Mr.Chris, can you introduce yourself please? And Levi go sit in your usual seat please.".

Levi left my side and walked to a table in the back, I hate sitting in the back but I guess I will because I certainly don't want to sit on my own.

I nodded and walked to him , I then looked at the class, cleared my throat and said " I am amber steel...I am almost 18 and I am new here.".

My pounding heart isn't really helping and no I am not scared or nervous I am just uneasy and awkward.

Making friends is one thing and introducing myself is another.

What am I supposed to say? I am sure no one is interested in what I do and don't.

I looked at him with an awkward smile and thankfully he nodded and said " take a seat next to Levi since you came with him, we don't want you sitting alone on your first day.".

Levi is sitting at the very last row which is full except 2 desks one is next to Levi and the other is next to the window and the desk that is next to Levi.

I can either sit next to the window or next to Levi.

He can move to the desk next to me, with that said I walked to the desk near the window and whisper yelled " come to this desk.".

He was about to say something when the door burst open and Carlos walked in.

Ughhhh I don't hate the guy but I really can't stand arrogant jerks. I've met him enough times already.

Mr.Chris frowned and said " Carlos...what a pleasant surprise but may I ask why you're here? As far as I know this isn't time for your class and you already had one this morning.".

Carlos scanned the room as if looking for someone till his hazel eyes settled on mine.

He smirked then replaced it with a cold expression and said " I changed some classes in my schedule, this way it's more suitable for me.".

Mr.Chris smiled then said " well take a seat.".

He took long strides towards me?

He stopped right in front of me then said " this is my seat.".

I raised an eyebrow and looked over the desk then under it earning nothing but a bored expression on his face.

I then looked at him sweetly and said " I can't seem to find your name on it.".

The cold expression was soon replaced with an amused look and he said " I don't need to crave or write my name on what I own, everyone knows a thing belongs to me and soon enough something else will be added to my list of possessions.".

I can tell there is a double meaning but I don't want to get ahead of myself so I just shrugged my shoulders and said " well I didn't know and I am not moving.".

He smirked and said " who said anything about moving?".

I shot him a fake smile and said " great then move because I want to focus.".

He tapped his fingers on the desk, the metal of his rings hitting the hard wood making him seem a little hotter.

I can't help but think of a story I read of a similar stituation where there was a comment that said 'choke me like you hate me but you love me.'.

I was just about to laugh at the memory when his voice pulled me out of my trance.

"I am not moving either, I am sure we can figure something out.".

What the fuck does he mean? I raised an eyebrow slightly getting it but I hope I am wrong.

He moved to the side ignoring Mr.Chris' calls and said " you can sit on my lap.".

And that's exactly what I understood.

I chuckled and said " go sit somewhere else, you changing your classes is not my problem.".

He tsked and muttered "it is" more to himself than me but I caught it.

I usually don't give in and don't like to but I've had enough of drama for today. First the fight then having his jacket on me, meeting him literally everywhere and now this.

I am not really in the mood to fight so with that said and I stood up and said " have it.".

I was about to put my stuff on the desk next to Levi who's by the way looking as well as the rest of the class.

Mr.Chris stopped calling Carlos and is now explaining to basically no one.

Back to the point I was about to put my stuff on the desk when I got pulled into a lap.

The fuck? I yelped in surprise and shot him a glare, he smirked in response making me angrier.

Who the fuck does he think he is? He's lucky we're at school and not out because he would have a bullet in his balls if he did this with me having a gun on me like always.

I've done it before and I wouldn't mind doing it again.

I know he can tell that I am no longer in the the teasing side of my personality and that I've become serious to which he gives me a serious look.

I pressed my hands on his chest and tried to push my weight up but he tightened his hold and simply said " too eager to leave?".

This is another reason why I hate arrogant jerks.

1-they think that every girl is the same and that every girl will either like what they do or not but shut up.

Which is not me because he's getting it once he's out of the school grounds, not that I care about the rules but I don't want more rumors about me being in a gang spread because if word goes out it could expose my father.

2- they think sexual assault is something normal and romantic which it isn't.

I closed my eyes to maintain whatever urge to just punch him before opening them again.

I glared at him and said " you have 3 seconds to let me go before I make-" but before I could say anything he put his hand on my back and trailed it up and down causing a shiver to run down my spine then said " or what amber?".

He reached out for his belt and took a gun before pressing it against my lower abdomen almost touching my lower region.

I looked down not horrified because I've been at the end of a gun more than I could remember but surprised because he has a gun and in here?

I looked up at him to see a questioning look on his face as he searched mine for probably any sort of fear.

He raised an eyebrow and said " now now, that's not what a normal girl would do if she sees a gun pointed at her. Not even a question?".

I rolled my eyes at his comment and leaned in then whispered " it's very clinché of you to think of it that way, I am normal...just not your definition of normal.".

Questions about how he has a gun and why are booming my head right now but one thing for sure.

I have to stay away from him.

As far as I know he could be dangerous too or someone of those who are after my father.

I know I sound like a pussy but I do value my life, as far as I know I could be overreacting and it's maybe just an act to satisfy his ego and win girls with the flex of having a gun but I could be doomed if it's more than that.

His voice pulled me out of my trance when he said " that's a way to think of it, but why are you not fazed?".

I put on a fake terrified face which I don't think he bought but nonetheless I continued with my act and said " I can't scream because you could shoot me.".

I know he can't right now because the safety is on but I have to act as naive and clueless as I can.

I will tell my dad about him as soon as I can to have a background check or something to make sure he's no threat.

But for now acting scared is my ticket out without being noticed as who I am.

I pushed his chest and said "let go of me, I won't tell anyone about the gun I promise.".

He put a strand of my hair behind my ear and said " you don't have to promise me because everyone already knows, no one can really do anything about it.".

Only adds to my list of reasons why I should be away from him.

If everyone knows he does then he must have some sort of power over everyone which is not that much a popular boy can get unless it's from something else other than popularity.

Which leads to my only assumption...him being involved in some shady business whether it's a gang or something bigger.

God I am overthinking maybe he's just rich or something.

I gasped to add more affect and said " please let me go.".

He trailed his eyes down my face and to my hands on his chest as if thinking before finally loosing his grip on me.

I quickly stood up and looked around pretending to be a little scared but I am not, I am just curious.

Why does he have a gun?
