Chapter seven. I'm enjoying this writing kick I'm on. Aren't you? xD

Disclaimer: I dont own

Mienna

I should have slapped him, or punched him. I should have done anything else but, kiss him back. That kiss wouldn't get out of my head. It was supposed to mean nothing, just him showing off but, it didn't feel that way. The way he pressed his lips against mine-no, I was going to stop thinking about it starting now. I set down my backpack and slid into my usual seat in the back corner.

I sighed heavily and looked around. Everyone was divided into their cliques. I used to be a part of one. That is until I told all my friends to leave me the fuck alone and they listened. Sometimes I would pass them in the hall and they would try to say something to me but, I would run away. Story of my life. Running away was my answer to everything and so far it hadn't failed me.

The final bell ran through the school and students started to shuffle in. I smiled when I realized Luis wasn't among them. Either he was late or he took off. I preffered the latter. I pulled out my notebook flipping open to a clean sheet. The teacher started to drone on about slopes and I tuned her out. I couldn't stand math. After a few minutes I heard the door open. I looked up and saw Luis standing in the doorway. Every girl gasped when they saw him. I rolled my eyes, typical. For some reason though, I felt a little jealous. I bit back that emotion and ignored him.

"And you must be Luis Fuentes." The teacher looked him over. "Right, take the empty seat beside Mienna."

Really? I almost protested but, the look the Mrs. Jones gave me made me close my mouth. My grandmother must've gotten to her. I loved her but, sometimes she got on my nerves. I heard Luis chuckled and he slid into the seat next to me.

"Hey baby." He winked at me.

Instantly, I heard everyone whispering.

Why would he call her that?

Omg, are they dating?

No way he is too good looking for that.

I gritted my teeth, damn him. I tried to fight the urge to get up and punch him but, then again I didn't want him to kiss me again. I looked up and saw Alissa, my old best friend, gaze at me questioningly. She looked hurt like I would date a guy before trying to re-establish our friendship. I shook my head. She offered me a small smile and turned in her seat.

"Leave me alone." I hissed at him so no one would hear.

"But, I'm having too much fun." He chuckled.

I shook my head and scooted as far away from him as my seat would allow. He smirked and slouched back in his seat. He knew he was getting underneath my skin and he was enjoying every second of it. For most of the period I was sitting on the chair with half my ass hanging off trying to ignore his not so subtle glances at me. Five minutes before period ended a piece of paper landed on my desk. I made a face and flicked it off my desk which sadly was a big mistake. Mrs. Jones turned around just in time to see it.

"Mienna, this isn't grade school we don't pass notes. Now please bring it up and read it to the class."

I gaped but, she was no nonsense. Grumbling underneath my breath I stood and grabbed the note from the floor. I stood beside her and faced the class. My throat closed when I saw all of them staring at me their smiles malicious. I licked my lips nervously and unfolded the note.

"Well come on, I don't have all day."

I flushed a deep red. "Um...I can't read this." I murmured to her.

"Of course you can. You took the time to pass it you can read it."

I bit the inside of my cheek so hard the familiar taste of copper filled my mouth. Luis was looking up at me grinning at my expression. Everyone's face started to blur until I saw the same eyes and the same face on everyone. I swallowed hard. This couldn't be happening not here. I felt myself start to panic, my breathing becoming labored.

"what the hell is wrong with her?" Someone muttered.

I flung the note down on the ground and took off between the desks. I shoved all my wait into the door and almost fell into the hallway. Distantly, I heard my teacher calling after me but, I kept going. I pushed open the bathroom door. Thankfully it was empty. I sat down in one of the corners trying to get myself back under control.

"Mienna?"

I looked up to see Luis standing in the girl's bathroom looking unsure about what to do.

"Get out."

"No."

"Please, just go. Besides this is a girl's bathroom." I pulled my knees to my chest feeling the panic in my chest lessen.

He crouched down beside me. "It was just some stupid note. No need have a fit about it."

"Shut up you idiot." Someone said from the door.

Alissa walked over to me and kneeled in front of me. She grabbed my wrists and placed them on the back of my head. "Now breath." She ordered. She looked over at Luis. "You must be real hard up to follow a girl into the bathroom." She rolled her eyes at him.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm her best friend."

If I wasn't trying so hard to breath I would have choked at what she said. After the way I treated her she still called herself my best friend. Damn, now I felt like shit.

"So she has friends." He smirked.

"Of course she does. Quite a few of them are waiting to kick your ass." She smirked right back.

"Oh no, I get the glory of kicking his ass." I spoke up.

Alissa let go of my wrists and I slumped back against the wall.

"Better?" She asked.

"Better." I confirmed.

"So what did that note say anyways?"

I blushed and mumbled. "Nothing."

"I was asking her if she knew a place where we would sneak off to after class so I could kiss her some more." Luis grinned.

Alissa shook her head. "Idiot."

"What can I say. Its my calling." He retorted.

We all listened as the bell went off. Alissa held her hand out to help me up. "Come on lets get your stuff."

I smiled at her. "Thanks Liss."

Luis followed us back to the classroom. "So since we have the next class I should walk with you ladies."

Alissa rolled her eyes. "We can't get away from you can we?"

"Not if you ran." He chuckled.

I would give him a reason to run. He would have to run from me.
