“Hey now,” Sully chuckles He sla my personal space, he pinches soer and thumb “Did you miss me, Weinstock?”

I s hard, clutching the strap tighter until ant person I know He thinks he's god’s gift to women, and it doesn’t help that he’s always surrounded by a bunch of girls

He leans down, then whispers, “I sure as fuck missed you”

A commotion of whispers sounds up, and luckily it draws Sully’s attention away froe, I rush down the hallway Before I round the corner, I glance back toer whispers are about

A new boy Dark hair and dark eyes He looks downright scary Anger’s etched hard into his features, and the nose ring and earrings erous He’s taller than most of the other boys, and the way he walksfor his next victim

Which will probably be me

I disappear around the corner and slip intoof the new school year, I always try to be first, so I can get the desk in the corner I sit down and dig in e I’ on a shadow ih a shallow lake

When other students start to trickle into class, I begin to shade the shadowy parts darker

“What the fuck are you drawing?” Michael asks Just hearing his voice has the hairs onMichael Jones is trouble in the worst way I’d rather face a hundred Sullys before having to deal with Micheal I’ve heard ru school, and since then, I’ve done my best to stay out of his way

Michael places his hand oninto my collarbone until it starts to throb “Damn, bitch, that looks pretty fucked up You’re a crazy one, aren’t you?” He leans down, andto sit still

I want to get up and run I want to run to the ends of the earth until I no longer have breath in s And then I want to jump into oblivion

I feel Michael’s breath on irls who are into kinky shit, so I ht make an exception for you”
