I grip the side of the desk, watching my timid little bunny make her escape. Oz’s words from this morning haunt me. He was right. My shit is going to blow back on me. I run my hand down my face wondering what the hell has gotten into me. The smell of cherries and honey lingers long after she’s gone. That explains the fucking hard-on from earlier and the reason it’s back.

The last few minutes of class tick by slowly. I debate getting up and walking out, but I’ve pissed Oz off enough for one day. I’m not going to push it. He’s a good man, and he really doesn’t deserve all the grief I give him. I’ll just have to be patient. My little bunny couldn’t have gone far anyway.

I’m intrigued and confused by my reaction to her. The instant attraction and shot of lust that hit me when she lifted her head, her eyes locking on mine, wasn’t something I was accustomed to. No one has ever garnered that sort of reaction from me. But whatever it was was short lived when I saw the fear in her eyes. Her reaction to me felt as if it was a sucker punch to my gut.

Fear is the response I prefer to elicit from most people. It almost guarantees they’ll stay the hell away from me and keep my name out of their mouths. My first year here at Montgomery Hall Prep was rough, considering I was coming in at the age of fifteen to a world I clearly didn’t belong in. People ran their mouths to and about me. I did it right back, but I did it better.

Just like with little Miss Jennifer that tried to sink her fangs into Whitney. If Jennifer is even her name. They all start to blend together. The bitches around here can be ruthless to new girls. It’s worse if they’re pretty, but Whitney is way more than that; she’s breathtaking. Not in an overpowering way. It’s a soft beauty that screams of her innocence.

Her big blue eyes were wide with fear as she stared back at me earlier. That shit is going to haunt me until I can figure out a way to fix it. I don’t know why, but the thought of her only knowing that one side of me doesn’t sit well with me. I want her to see more.

The second Mr. Smith releases us from class, I’m up from my chair and heading into the hallway. Being taller than everyone else lets me see over everyone’s heads. I make my way toward the office still not seeing her. I spot Miss Coolie behind her desk. I pull open the door and go right toward her. A blush hits her cheeks when she sees me, and she licks her lips.

I’m not even going to lie, I’ve flirted with her from time to time. It came in handy with me being late so often. She has this whole innocent thing going on.
