Startled

“No”

Finally I realized who he was, he was the schools “King” Is what they called him. Since he won many battles within the maiden's hearts...

I mean, come on, how bOriNG! Do they not have shame in what they do and say, like are they not embarrassed about going around and making a cringe nickname of some dude they don't even know, I mean if I was him I wouldn't even bother looking at such fans.

I mean to be fair it wasn’t only that, he was an A star student, who was good at all sorts of sports, was rich and from a strong background and finally he was TRUELY popular. '

I had gotten up and moved away from him. Turning my head in his direction a little while speaking

“Just because you helped me know where the things I need are, doesn’t mean that I will listen to you. I’ll find the clues by myself if needed. I’m not cheap to give you a kiss. But it truly shows me that you are cheap enough to offer such a thing.”

I could tell that he was startled by what I had said, and probably a bit angry too for I have embarrassed him.

He stood up and for a moment I couldn’t see his eyes before he pounded on me causing me to gasp because the walls of the cave were cold.

“What are you doing?” I said sternly

He didn’t reply he had only smirked.

“I’m sure you know who I am, and you’re one of those few girls that don’t react when they see me look at them, let me guess you have a boyfriend.”

He asked while I was still pinned to the wall. Ugh what a weirdo!

I pushed him away from me still blushing a little.

“Yeah you’re handsome and have a strong physique (clearly 😒) but I don’t really care about that. I mean, what’ll happen to your pretty little face when you get old you’re beauty will only disappear like the end of a sand timer. The last grain of sand reached the end, and it’s done now. So! I’m not going to go all aloof and crazy just cos you’re the schools crown boy.”

Sternly I looked him in the face while saying all that and I had seen that he was a little shocked, clearly someone needed a reality check 😏

He slowly released his hands from the wall but stayed focused on me with a frown. Crap I didn’t brush my teeth! Was my breathe bad? I smelt it and damn it was.

Quickly I got my toothbrush out of my bag and with my bottle of water I washed it and started to scrub them after adding the toothpaste. Finally I finished and gargled and spat the water out again. I smiled at myself feeling happy that I was clean -for I am a little bit of a clean freak.

Feeling accomplished I picked my bag and was about to leave when I had suddenly been pulled back and was again the wall now.

Ugh, not again

I had dropped my bag and was shocked once again. To look up and see a smirk pasted against his face once again. But it was different this time, it was like he was proud of himself for some reason?

“I was right to pick you up from where I had found you. I'll make you fall for me.”

Huh? What did you mean-

With that I had felt the soft hot and pump lips of another touch mine with  great passion and desire that it had scared me.

I-

**WHAT JUST HAPPENED. DID HE JUST KISS ME. **

when i realised what had happened i quickly tried to push him away but i mean what's the point if his physic is that good? Still, my pride's on the line here, what do you want me to do..

i bit his lip in attempt to stop him which did work

"Are you out of your mind?" i yelled anger visible in my eyes and the cave had echoed for me, maybe in a way to stand with me and defend my rights.

"Yeah, maybe. I mean I'm going to pursue you, so I might be." he replied egotistically.

Honestly I was so angry and humiliated that I had wanted to cry, instead I just gulped down the lump that was stuck in my throat.

"Y-yes well I wished you had been kept sane." I spoke quietly suppressing my emotions as much as I could, which wasn't something that difficult to do, for I am accustomed to do so. It's second nature at this point.

I zipped up my coat after putting my hair in a bun, for I will be outside and I cannot let it get in my way. I was about to grab my bag when someone had grabbed my hand. Obviously, it was Mr. King.

"Let go of me."

I tossed his hand away.

Buried memories had started to resurface, which wasn't meant to happen in a very long time. Is what I usually told myself, that it's okay and that I won't experience such things ever again But I was wrong again.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked a little worried as he held me when I staggered

"I'm fine let go." I answered sternly.

"No."

"No please let me go. You don't understand." my breathing started to increase and I could hear my heart racing inside my chest, my legs betrayed me as I fell to the ground and my hand clutched my uniform at my chest.

I'm okay.

"You're okay, is what you tell yourself when you feel like you are reliving those memories." the voice of my counsellor had found itself back to me.

When I'm reliving those memories, huh. Disgusting. You really are disgusting Everdeen.

Was the last thing I thought before collapsing in the arms of the boy, do I still need rescuing?
