We got on his bike and he rode away as we left people still not believing what they saw.we stopped on a trailway which led to the forest and walked on,
"What are you playing at,Scott?" I finally asked
"What do you mean?" He casually asked and kept walking
"I heard you don't talk to girls,what was that?!"
"Don't listen to rumours" he said and kept on walking
"If you think I'm on those girls who'll follow you around and bow to your feet,then you are highly mistaken"
"I'm aware"
"where are we going?"
"To study"
"In the woods?"
"I don't have notes,I don't use books,this is how I learn"
"This is crazy"
"More crazy than you following a stranger in the woods!" He said and I was about to say something but no words came out
The forest wasn't scary with most of the leaves withered,he explained alot to me as I followed behind taking notes,as weird as it was I was actually getting what he said.when i had time I'd sketch some of the features he showed me.before I knew it, fifty minutes had gone by."that's enough for today" he said
"Okay"I said as I packed my notebook while we walked back,until I stumbled on a log and fell down
"Ouch!" I exclaimed feeling a sharp pain on my knee
"Are you okay?" He asked helping me up "for a tough girl,you sure get yourself in alot if trouble"
"Trouble finds me"I replied noticing the bruise on my torn trouser
"Come here" he said and carried me up
"What are you doing? I can walk!!" I said
"No need to be dramatic princess I'm trying to help" he said as he carried me to his bike
"Princess,really!?" I repeated in sarcasm
"Yeap,your demanding,defensive and don't take no for an answer,always wanting things your way.stuck up princess to me"
"Asshole!" I replied and he chuckled
Revealing his perfectly white teeth just for a second
"Seat still!" He ordered plucked some leaves from a tree,with one handkerchief he wiped off the blood that oosed,with another he wrapped up my knee with the leaves.he helped me onto the bike and drove me home.
"you didn't have to drive me home"I said as we walked up the porch
"I didn't ask"he said helping me to the doorway
"And you say I'm the arrogant one"
"Aren't you?" He teased
Uncle Roy opened for us and led us in,he didn't seat down showing he wasn't staying for long,Jackson came down and found us and his face turned sour
"On your first day of school,you get hurt and bring a boy?" He teased seriously
"He's just a-" I began then thought about an answer "friend.and this was an accident"
"Anhaa sure"he replied
"He's some water,young man" uncle Roy offered to Kaiden and he accepted with a slight smile and drank it whole
"Thank you sir,i'll get going now"he said handing back the glass
"Your welcome"he replied and Kaiden left after I nodded him off
I got up and went to my room limping not wanting any assistance and uncle Roy remained with Jackson downstairs
"Out of all the people,he gets attracted to my sister!" He scoffed
"Stay calm,look at what Aliyah brought us so easily" he said shoving the glass
"Go get the saliver tested for DNA and see if it matches the blood or fur" he said and Jackson smiled doing as he was told
I got to my room and couldn't help but inhale his scent from the jacket,as i began to recall the event of the day from him holding my hand to the jacket to my wound.
"What am I doing? I just met the guy" I said to myself and checked my wound "What in the world?!" I exclaimed removing his handkerchief and looking at my now healed knee.
The next day I got dressed and wore his jacket and left for school with Austin,why did I wear the jacket? I felt the face slap to Laura wasn't enough and this would be nice to watch.when I got to school everyone quickly identified the jacket and mummering was endless, I met Debby along the way who couldn't help but laugh and insisted I gave her an explanation.
When we got in class I noticed Laura had already sat on my place,i didn't mind and just sat on the seat she sat on yesterday.she gave me a piercing look as she looked at the jacket and I smiled back at her,she was about to say something when Kaiden came in class and she controlled herself and began to smile.
To everyone's surprise he didn't take he's usual seat,instead he came and sat beside me and the look on Laura's face was priceless.
"I'm telling you he has a crush on you" Debby said to me after class
"He doesn't" I said chuckling
"Girl,your wearing his jacket,riding his bike,seating beside him in class and he holds your hand!" She said dramatically and I chuckled again
"He's just teasing" I replied
Just as we got out the school,and met him by the door.
"Hey"he finally said to Debby "you ready?" He asked me before Debby could even mutter a reply and I nodded
"I'll talk to you later"I said to Debby and we left.as always he gave me some pointers and I wrote them down.until suddenly we heard some growling from the bushes.We both got up for precautions and he kept me behind him as we listened.slowly a large and wild brown dog was coming towards us, full of aggression,i immediately clinged onto his arm as he continued to shield me
"Kaiden" I called in a worry
"Relax,it won't do anything"
"Kaiden,that's a wolf! Isnt it?"
"I won't let it hurt you,trust me"
It came closer to us and I felt like my heart is about to sink
It was so close now that it was merely a foot away it growled at us,Kaiden wasn't even the littlest bit scared,as it growled some more,i was fully behind him and didn't want to see anything.his ocean blue eyes became a shining royal blue as he glanced at it,it began to yelp and slowly retreated and ran away.and I could hear his breathe escape him as he relaxed.
"Your safe now princess"he said as his eyes changed to a normal shade and turned to me
"Come,lets go home"he said and led me back to the bike
Kaiden's pov
She was still very shaken as I could tell from her silence,i'd never seen her like that.I just wanted to protect her at that moment in any way I can.by the time we got to the bike she stopped to stare at me, her emerald green eyes fighting back her tears.i don't know why, but I hugged her at that moment. And she clinged onto me so closely I could hear her racing heartbeat.
"Lets go" she said in a low weep as she suddenly pulled back
I got on and rode the bike as she held on tight.when we got home she simply went in and I rode back home.
Aliyah's pov
I immediately went upstairs to my room without saying a word.i took a shower and eased my nerves a little,i didn't even get a chance to ask about my wound.when I looked over my desk I saw some documents, my driver's licence and a brand new phone.from my notes I took debby's number and called her,i caught her up on everything leaving out what happened today and I could myself easing up.
"I swear you two would make the perfect couple I totally ship you"
"Don't exaggerate"
"Aliyah don't tell me you feel nothing for him,not even a little?" She asked and I was taken back to what happened a while ago and smiled to myself
"Well there was today"I thought to myself
"The test results are back"Uncle Roy said and Jackson came closer to him
"And?"he asked in anticipation
As uncle Roy opened the envelope brought to him and read through it
"It's a perfect match,its positive!" he said and Jackson's face turned sour
"I finally got you,Kaiden Scott.and you will pay"
