The Geek And The Jock! (On Hold/Editing)

Chapter 3

The bell rang letting the class know that class was over so everyone began putting their books and pencil bags away, meanwhile leaving Cole and Danielle with bags of melted ice. They both began walking out together but Danielle realized she had forgotten her book so she quickly told Cole that she'd catch up later.

As the teacher left the door shut, Danielle looked around knowing for sure she'd left her book on the table so she looked around and heard the door open and close. She found the book and grabbed it. She straightened herself up and bumped into something as she turned around.

A pair of hands wrapped around Danielle's arms and it caused her head to snap up and was met with her biggest fear.

"Hello gorgeous! Miss me?" Said a masculine voice.

Danielle felt a shiver slide down her spine hearing them say those words.

"Tsk. Tsk. Looks like you saw a ghost, gorgeous." They chuckled while rubbing her arms.

Danielle was frozen and didn't know what to do or say it was as if she did see a ghost but from her past. A past she thought she had left behind.

"Why? Why are you here?" Danielle spoke in a whisper.

"What was that? Oh. Why am I here?" They asked back.

They finally let Danielle go and pulled a chair out gently pushing her down on it.

"Well there's a simple answer to that simple question and obviously for you! How can you be so inconsiderate in leaving me behind without even saying goodbye. I'm pretty offended as your boyfriend that you would do that." He said while walking around Danielle.

"I. I didn't think it would matter." Danielle spoke softly.

He stopped in his tracks and spun on his heels to stand in front of her and knelt down to meet her at eye level.

"Well...it does gorgeous. As my girlfriend you have to." He said reaching a hand to caress Danielle's cheek causing her to tense up.

"I'm. I'm sorry."

"You should be because now I'm holding on to you even tighter baby. I don't want you to leave me again. Got that?" He said through gritted teeth as he slid his hand underneath her chin slowly tightening his grip.

Danielle let out a small whimper from how tight his grip was on her chin and knowing what was to come next.

"Josh...you're hurting me. Please..."

"Ugh. Gosh now trying to play the victim. You know how that makes me feel!" His hand flew up and Danielle flinched away expecting a hit across her face.

The door flew open making it smack the wall and in came in a furious Zayn.

Zayn grabbed Josh from the back of his collar's jacket and pulled him away.

"Get away from her!"  Zayn angrily yelled out.

Josh pulled away from Zayn's grasp and fixed his jacket. "Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?"

"Someone that doesn't like boys disrespecting their girlfriend." Zayn snapped back.

Josh just scoffed at the comment Zayn had made. "Some girlfriend she is I will say but this is none of your business so fuck off dude." Josh said, walking behind Danielle's chair and placing his hands on her shoulders.

Zayn lost his patience and went for Josh, they both threw punches meanwhile Danielle sat glued to her chair in shock after seeing her ex-boyfriend.

"Danielle, get out!" Zayn yelled out between punches.

Danielle finally got up and slowly walked away and saw teachers running away to pull the fight apart.

"Leave!" Zayn once again yelled out furiously.

Josh got up and fixed his jacket again letting out a scoff. "Get off me! I'm leaving not because of your ass because I don't want to embarrass Danielle. I love you sweetheart." He said kissing two fingers and pointing them towards her.

Zayn pushed the teacher away and made his way towards Danielle pulling her towards him to caress her head meanwhile she froze at his touch. Realizing who had her an embrace she pushed him away and grabbed her things running out of the class.

Cole was about to walk in the classroom but stopped in his steps as he saw teachers running inside the classroom he had last seen Danielle last in; showing a confused face once he saw Danielle run out the room.

Danielle just ran towards her car in hopes of seeking comfort by being inside it. It started to sprinkle as she made her way inside the car, she locked her car, throwing her backpack on the passenger seat and felt so heavy. Tears began to spill out of her eyes once again feeling slight pain as she squeezed her eyes shut.

As she kept her eyes shut only memories of her day began to flash and she just wanted to leave immediately, turning on her ignition she backed out the parking lot and made herself out of the school's premises.
