I check the time on my fitness watch.Shit.I have just enough time to rinse off quickly before I have to haul ass to chemistry.
In every class, I make it a point to sit in the middle and closer to the front. This allows me to hear the teacher better while also helping me blend in with the other students. I take my studies very seriously and want to soak up all of the knowledge, but I also prefer not to draw attention to myself.
I make my way four rows up and sit to the left ofthe middle seats. A few people are already scattered throughout the room, but we still have fifteen minutes until class starts.
I pull out my textbook, pencil, and notepad, setting them to the side before getting my computer out and plugging it into the available electrical outlet on the long desk.
Fourteen minutes later, the seats are almost full and the professor begins his introduction to the class, outlining his expectations for us this semester. I make sure to jot all the notes down.
As the lecture wraps up, a shiver runs through my entire body. and goosebumps form over my skin. I glance around to see if anyone else feels the odd chill, but everyone seems like they are acting normally, busy packing their bags.
Weird.
I shake it off and focus on organizing my things in my backpack. Once I’ve got everything in order, I sling it over my shoulder and head towards the exit. Again, I feel goosebumps as an unsettling gut feeling washes over me, like I’m being watched. I quickly glance over both shoulders and check behind me before hastening my steps to get out of here.
Once outside, I breathe a sigh of relief.
Get it together, Lainey. It’s just yourfucking anxiety again.
CHAPTER 5
KALIX
If you thoughtyou saw this really rare bird that you’d never seen before and it started flying off, would you try to follow it? Or would you let it fly off, never knowing if what you saw was really what you thought it was?
For me, the timid girl with the strawberry-blonde hair was the bird, and I was not about to just let that shit fly away without me getting a good look.
She was beautiful, but a scared little rabbit that spooked at her own shadow. Her aura was bright, but she exuded nervous energy despite her obvious attempts at trying to blend in with the rest of the crowd. She’s sitting just about as far away as she possibly can, not even noticing the rest of her peers around here that couldn’t give half a shit about what the professor is droning on about.
I came into class late, as per usual, and took a seat in the back, but my eyes found the back of her headimmediately. She had her head down, the studious little woman she is, taking in every detail the professor said. She’s studying chem, but I studied her today. I took in every detail I could from the poor vantage point that I currently have. I watched intently, her head bobbing up and down, glancing back and forth between her paper and whatever was posted on the board at the front of the classroom. My cock would look so much better with her bobbing on it then looking at some cloud of air.
As soon as the lecturer dismissed the class, everyone started packing up to leave. I acted like I was doing the same, despite the lack of material that I had brought, just to see what she was doing next.
Students left the classroom one by one, but of course the little rabbit took her time to make sure each article that was placed back into her backpack was just perfect. When it looked like she had most everything ready to go, I pushed up and squeezed out the doors so I could get a better look at her when she left.
I stood a little further down then I typically would have to make sure I wasn’t caught by her, but also to make sure that she had to at least look in my direction when she left the room. It took a while, but my patience paid off when she finally did leave. Speechless, that’s the only word to describe how I felt when I saw her.
Her eyes are a mix between blue and green, completely unique to her. They’re covered by the lens of her glasses, but they’re still so vibrant. I wanteverything around me to be bathed in that color so I never have to look away. She has a sprinkling of freckles that cover her nose, and her cheeks are a natural pink shade which adds more to her innocent persona.
Holy fuck.
I watch as she adjusts her backpack on her shoulder and looks around. Who is she looking for? Is it a friend? Is it another man? The latter I would have to take care of, obviously, because she may not know it yet, but she is mine.
I’ve always been overly competitive, but I’ll make this one easy. If someone gets in my way, I’ll eradicate them from this planet. No ifs, ands, or butts about it. I’m not fucking around when it comes to her.
My body thrums with excitement over my newly developed thoughts and plans, but I have to execute this perfectly. I can’t just run up to her and fuck into her tight hole like my body screams to right now.
My time is coming.Ourtime is coming. Now, to come up with the perfect plan to get her to accept the reality of what’s to be.
Maybe she likes the whole prince-on-a-horse shit, but I’m no fucking prince. I’m her worst fucking nightmare.
My hands flex into fists as I continue to lean against the wall and watch. As she turns to walk away, I bide my time and follow after her, ensuring that I’m far enough away to not draw attention.
When we get into the middle of the amphitheater, I meet up with Reed and B and use them to my ownadvantage. I make sure that I can watch her over my shoulder, and my friends being the way they are, it’s easy to carry a conversation while walking with her.
“Who is that?” I ask Reed. His friendly and outgoing demeanor may not be so much of an annoyance right now if he can help me.
“Who? The strawberry-blonde?”
