The Blue-eyed Wolf In The Woods novel Chapter 45

We were heading to my locker and our next class, which was Violin lessons with Dr. Gallagher, the Orchestra director who had luckily scheduled this weeks lesson during my American History class, where we were learning the importance of the Industrial Revolution, which was beyond boring. Orchestra was my favorite part of the day, and when I got to go to lessons and have Orchestra twice in the day, it made my Monday's slightly more bearable.

Belle and I were in the same lesson group, so we kept on our trek to the other side of the school together. "So anyways, I decided it would be a good idea to climb down from my roof, to be closer to him, but I tripped and started perpetually falling down to my death. But thankfully landed on a soft cushion of fluff, because he had placed himself where I would land. I felt pretty stupid at that point. But I needed to know his name, I started guessing letters. He growled all the way until I got to "T," which he barked for. I started guessing names with T's, like Thomas, Trevor, Tim, Tyler, but all were getting growls until I thought of Travis. Which he started barking and yelping with glee and running around in circles. So there it was Travis, the Wolf, 20 years old."

By this point we were almost at my locker so I could get my Violin and put some books away. We rounded the corner and I could see Dom standing there waiting for me.

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to shut out my entire situation with him. This was painful. Why the heck was he paying so much attention to me? And how was I supposed to deal with him?

UGH.

Belle turned her head to me, and game me a sympathetic look. "Well, don't think you get out of finishing that story Missy. Once we get rid of tall, blonde, jerky and slightly handsome." She said under her breath as we approached my locker, and Dom.

I dialed the combination and started putting my books for Math away and grabbed my Violin, and English books and Art portfolio. I had Violin lessons with Belle, and then English class with both Mia and Belle...and Dom.

"Hey!" He said excitedly with a smile.

"Hi." I replied.

"So, where are you girls going now?" He asked directed at Belle and I.

"Orchestra lessons." I answered him as I pulled my Violin out.

"Oh, cool! Maybe I can come listen?" He asked.

Lessons went too quick, as usual, and Belle and I lingered around the music room continuing to practice after the bell for the next period rang. Dr. Gallagher finally kicked us out after about 10 minutes into 3rd period.

"Come on..." Dr. Gallagher chided, "Just because you both walked in late doesn't mean I can keep you late, especially since you'll miss this period next week for lessons. Maybe if you weren't too busy keeping company with the wrong guys you'd be able to make it to your lessons on time and spend the entire time with your head in the music. Here's a pass. Now get yourselves to class, and try stay out of trouble, with troubled boys." Dr. Gallagher said as he handed me and Belle a pass.

He was right, Dom was trouble. And kept my mind reeling with thoughts of how to get him uninterested, because I was not interested in starting a sexual relationship with the biggest man-whore in town. Even if he was incredibly good-looking, and kept bringing me chocolate and flowers. He tortured me for years, dating back all the way to like 4th grade... making fun of my oddities for liking the outdoors, and music, and art. Him and his friends made growing up near him a royal pain in the ass.

He was not the guy I pictured spending the remainder of my high school career with.

No. He was hot. And maybe he was trying to redeem himself for the years of shittiness, but I couldn't stoop to his level.
