"Come on man! Don't make me beg!"
"I don't know I kind of enjoy watching you beg. It's very entertaining." I say smirking at my best friend Liam.
"Please! I'll do anything!!" he says clasping his hands together as if he's praying.
"Anything?" I ask
He stops and gives me wide eyes.
"No, you wouldn't." he whispers in shock.
"Don't you know me by now Liam?" I say grinning wider.
"What do you think would be more embarrassing?" I ask with a lift of the eyebrow.
"Ronin." he says desperately.
"I'm leaning towards the dare but this is a close second." I say in thought.
He looks around the football field and looks back to me.
"You made me do this." then jumps up and tackles me to the ground.
"Give it back!!" he yells trying to reach the book now underneath me.
"Never! You will have to pry it out of my cold, stiff, and lifeless fingers!!!" I scream at him and he groans as he manages to lift my squirming body off the ground.
He's the quarterback to our top team so he got some muscle.
He's not as hot as the new guy though I think randomly to myself.
Thinking about him made me lose my focus and Liam managed to get a hold of the book.
"No!" still gripping tightly onto the book I push Liam and we end up literally rolling across the field.
"Ronin let go of the god damn book!!" he yells
"I said never!!" I yell back when I'm suddenly yanked of Liam and wrapped in something hard.
I try pushing away to see what or who is holding me but I'm just squished farther into it.
"What the hell! Who the fuck are you!" I hear Liam scream.
I guess this is a who.
A strong who.
Very strong who.
Wait, focus Ronin!
"Why were you touching him?" the guy bellows darkly.
"What?! Let go of him! It doesn't look like he can even breath!" as Liam said that I realized I really couldn't. My face was pretty much being suffocated by his body.
At least he smelt good.
As soon as Liam said that the guy loosened his grip so I could move and breath but still had his arm around my waist.
When I get my first breath of fresh air I gasp in a few more breaths and bend down with my hands on my knees, still breathing hard.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" the guy asks with his voice slightly softer this time.
I hold up my hand for him to hold up a sec then realize I had the book still in my hand. I grin and jump in the air pointing at Liam then the Fifty Shades of Grey copy.
"Ha! Sucker!!!" he groans and stretches out to grab it but I run behind the stranger who I just realized is the new student from first period.
The sex god, I gave up on the sexy guy b.s., tenses and I swear to god full on growls at Liam.
"Oh my god, who the fuck is this guy Ronin?!" Liam yells frustrated and trys to look around him to look at me which Sex god makes extremely difficult.
I chuckle and peak over his shoulder to see Liam.
"I don't know but so far he hasn't made the list." I say with a smile.
"Maybe you should put him on there." Liam mumbles.
"Liam you know the rules of when I put people on the list." I say
"I'm just saying." he says and shrugs.
"What's the list?" Mr. Sex god asks peaking back at me.
"Oh! It's this list of people that I really don't like but I have a very strict process when it comes to adding people onto it." I say seriously.
"Hmm" is all he says.
The bell rings to tell us to go to last period and Liam groans.
"We're going to be late to last period!"
I pat the guys back ignoring the tingles that go down my arm.
"Alright big guy, thanks for the help but we gotta go."
I wait for him to move so I can follow Liam but he just stares at me.
"Hey. Yo! Big guy! Could you maybe I don't know move a little that way." I say pointing to the side.
He stares at me for a while longer before moving a few inches to the right.
I smile at him and pick up my old leather jacket and bag.
"Merrick, my names Merrick." he says watching me.
"Well Merrick, pleasure to meet you but I wouldn't want to be late to another class now would I?" I ask and start jogging to the school where Liams waiting, impatiently of course.
"What's your last class?" he asks and catches up with me.
"The amazingly boring AP Calculus." I say grinning over at him.
He lifts his eyebrow and grins back at me. "That's my next class too."
"No shit?" I say honestly shocked
"Oh fuck." Liam says under his breath as he falls into step with us.
Merrick glares at Liam for a few seconds then we get to class and he takes a seat right next to me while Liam mumbles curses when he's forced to sit in the seat behind me.
Liam taps my shoulder and I lean back in my chair to hear him.
"Who the fuck is this guy Ronin?!" he whisper yells into my ear making him spit a little.
"Dude gross!" I say wiping his spit off me.
"Sorry" he says sincerely then glances to Merrick who is currently glaring daggers at him.
It would probably be more accurate to say glaring something like swords or maybe shotguns at him. And lots and lots of bullets.
"Why is he trying to kill me with his eyes Ronin?" he asks
"How the hell am I supposed to know? What did you do to the guy?" I whisper back
"Nothing! And he seems pretty attached to you so I just thought you might have an idea." he says shrugging his shoulders.
Makes sense but why does he seem attached to me?
Eventually me and Liam decide to at least pretend like we're listening to the teacher and the rest of class goes by achingly slow.
