The Blue-eyed Wolf In The Woods novel Chapter 43

And that certainly shouldn't call for hand holding in public...

No.

We arrived to my torturous 1st period Math class with Mrs. Ryan. Thankfully I shared this class with Mia and Belle.

"So, will you sit with me at lunch today?" He asked as he pulled me to the side of the hall right outside my classroom.

"Umm... yeah, sure. We'll sit with you and your friends." I replied, basically inviting my friends and his into this

intimate moment between us.

He chuckled, "You know, I don't really care if any of my friends or yours sit with us, I just want to make sure I'm near you." He said with a smile and leaned down too quickly for me to react, and plopped a wet kiss onto my cheek.

What was it with this guy and kissing my cheek!!!!????

Ugh.

I smiled tightly and trudged into class.

"Krystal! So nice of you to grace us with your presence. Please, no loitering outside my classroom. Especially when your are showing public displays of affection." Mrs. Ryan said almost too enthusiastically for this early in the morning.

The class erupted in laughs and giggles and snickers.

Great. The whole school thinks Dom and I are a thing.

Are we a thing?

No. We're not. Not ever. Ew. No.

No. No boys! I have to remember to day strong!

"Girl! What in God's name is going on? We've been calling you since last night! How was the rest of your date!? And WHAT was all that PDA about!?" Mia blurbbed loudly into my ear.

I finished rambling and let out a long exasperated sigh as I collapsed my head onto my Math textbook.

I felt a warm comforting hand on my back slowly rubbing up and down. I knew it was Belle.

"Oh Krystal, well if you don't like him, them just forget about him. But maybe give him a chance, I mean it seems like he's trying so hard. I don't know Krys, what do you want us to tell you?" Mia asked.

I rolled my head to face her, "Well, I don't want you to tell me anything. I just wish I had help deciding what I should do? Should I just ignore him to the best of my abilities and stay single, or should I just try to forgive him and give him a chance? He's literally been a huge asshole to me for my entire existence, up until this week. Why should I give him a chance?" I complained.

"Maybe because right now, he's the only one giving you a chance. He's the only one honing in on you, and trying to win your attention." Mia explained trying to give me a reason to give Dom a chance.

I turned away from her, mad that she'd said he was the only one giving me a chance. That wasn't entirely true. He was just the only human giving me a chance.

Well, that wasn't true either, I guess Travis was a human; or half human.

I stopped talking about my dilemma for the rest of the period. I didn't want to hear any more of Mia's excuses for Dom and his sorry butt.
