Forced This Way

Chapter 3 ~Because I Like You Too (Edit)

Chapter 3

The bell rang and everyone shot up and out the door. Kristina and I took our time because our English class was right next door. Daniel followed us.

          "Why are you acting like a lost puppy?" Kristina asked.

          "Why would you think that?" Daniel asked.

          "You're following us." Kristina answered

          "I'm not following you. I have English next." He answered.

          "Oh my god. Do you have the same schedule as us?" I asked him.

          "Maybe." He answered.

I stormed off into my next class, Kristina and I sitting in a corner. Just get through two more periods and I'll be free to lunch. Kristina sat next to me.

          "Why did you run off?" She asked.

          "I need to get away from Daniel. I mean he was in jail for two years. What if he gets possessive and goes crazy?" I asked.

          "Witness protection program." She suggested.

          "Very funny." I told her.

          "Trying my best here chica." She said.

I opened my mouth to say something but the bell cut me off. Miss Myer stood in front of the board.

          "Good morning, class. We have a new arrival; Daniel Banks is joining our last week of class, so make sure to make him feel welcome. Take a seat in the back." She added to Daniel.

I saw all the girls smile and wave at him. Daniel is about 6 foot 5. He wore a black tight fitting shirt. He must have worked out in jail because his chest had some serious definition. His hair is shaggy jet black hair. His eyes where crystal blue with a hint of gray. If the light hit his eyes right they would shimmer a dark crystal blue. He had navy dark blue jeans on with three chains hooked together that were connected to his pant loop. The chains travel to his back pocket that was connecting to his wallet. I got him the chains for his birthday the first year we were together. He still had the charm on it; J+D=4ever. I was surprise he kept it-- the charm. He sat down on the other side of the room. Thank god he understands I need my space. Miss Myer started going over the plan for the next forty-five minutes. I didn't listen much. I heard some of it. Vocab review, test Wednesday. But one thing stood out. After vocab, free day. I looked a Kristina.

          "Did I hear that right? Or is she high?" I asked her.

          "Both. She never gives us a free day." She answered.

Miss Myer is a strict thirty-two year old woman. She has long dark brown hair. And light brown eyes. She's about 5 foot 3.

          "Study your vocabulary for about ten minutes, class. Then it's free time." She said walking to her desk. I took out my vocab folder and looked over the words. Ten minutes pass before Miss Myer said we can do whatever.

          "Okay, either she got new meds or she hit her head really hard...Twice." Kristina said.

          "I think it's a little bit of both." Daniel said behind me scaring me.

"Poate vă avertizează o fată înainte de a te sperii cu prostiile din ei?" (Can you warn a girl before you scare the crap out of her?) I asked, speaking in Romanian.

          "Nu la tine, nu." (Not to you, no) He answered in Romanian also which caught me off guard.

          "When did you learn Romanian?" I asked.
