 I sit up dazed and confused, wondering why I was here. I look around and see no one about. After a few moments I remember why I am here. Wyatt. That jerk! The memory of him hitting me made me feel uneasy. I become startled when my phone vibrates in my front pocket and the very loud ring tone goes off. I look at the caller ID unwillingly knowing who it was, answering it immediately. "Hey Bennie!" I say in a low voice too afraid to say anything else.

"Where the fuck are you!?" He said in an angry tone which gave me chills. This was also new to me. I've never seen him mad before, especially not at me.

"I'm fine. I swear. Just needed some time to think." I hear him sigh heavily as if being relieved. Maybe he cares!

"Go to lunch when the bell rings and I'll meet you at your table!" He nearly growled through his teeth. Yeah, he cared alright but not for the same reason as I thought.

"Okay. God, you're bossy!" he laughs sarcastically. There was something off about his laugh. I weave my hands through my hair.

"Oh no Miss Faith, you haven't seen anything yet! I'm completely and utterly shocked.

"Is that a threat Bennie? I'll have you know my father wouldn't approve of you threatening me!" He snorts.

"That's where you have it wrong Miss Faith; he told me I could do whatever I needed to in order to keep you safe." I was speechless. Dude, that sounded so hot, but creepy at the same time. Of course he did!

"Yeah, like you would do anything anyway!" I laughed arrogantly. Don't push it! I keep thinking to myself

"Oh it's not a threat anymore, it's a promise. Lunch, ten minutes!" He laughs mimicking me and hangs up.

"Oh shit, I'm in big trouble." I murmur to myself as I run to the school and have a sudden urge to pee. I run into the bathroom, do my thing and look into the mirror. I've got a fat lip with a cut in the corner and a bruised cheek. I knew this would be hard to hide. I quickly apply concealer and foundation to cover my now sore, bruised cheek and put on lip liner and plumping lip gloss. When I looked somewhat descent I glanced at the time on my phone. Two minutes before lunch. Shit! I run as fast as I can to the stairs that lead to the lunch room. Bennie was waiting impatiently at my table with Megan. I walk over to him in defeat. He grins at me which makes me uneasy. He motions for me to sit and I follow his order.

"Go get your lunch then sit down again, we're having a chat." He said this in a low whisper, not wanting anyone else to hear. I get into line and wait patiently. Today was flat bread pizza, salad and a fruit cup. The lunch lady smiles at me as I say that I am really hungry, she winks at me and finds the biggest piece there is, I love that lady! There is a boy in front of me who is taking forever as he wants a slushy, cupcake, cookies and a bag of Doritos. Finally it's my turn and I punch in my code. I put salad dressing on my tray and sit down at my favorite table of which Wyatt and I usually share together. We both eat in silence. When I'm done with my food I empty my tray and sit down again. "Do you have any idea how worried you made me and your father!?" I look down in response.

"I'm sure he's fine." As long as I'm alive he won't care that much.

"That's not the point!" He growled through his teeth. I back off a little bit.

"Then what is?" He rolls his eyes with annoyance. I just smirk at him.

"What you did was incredibly stupid and dangerous. I talked to your father about something and he agreed that it's a great idea.

"What is?" I demanded.

"Close your eyes and give me one of your hands." I was very reluctant to do so. I gave him my hand and closed my eyes. Knowing that I was going to get punished. I heard the sound of metal clinking then felt something cold and hard wrap around my wrist. I open my eyes and find my left hand in a cuff and the other cuff was around Bennie's hand.
