CHAPTER 3

"Hey stop it," someone hisses at the back and the guy that am busy strangling tries to push me off him. 

He is quite strong and I bet it is taking every ounce of his self control not to hit me. Quite a gentle man, huh? 

He should have known better than to snatch my phone. 

"I don't hit girls but don't push me." He glowers at me and I sneer. 

I would want to see him try. He is starting to gasp for air and some students are busy shouting at me to stop while some are busy prodding me to go on, they love this. 

"You letting a girl humiliate you?" Someone from the crowd shouts and I feel like telling her to shut the fuck up.

"This is serious guys, someone stop that bitch!" I contemplate turning to face her. 

How dare she call me a bitch? Instead of walking over to her I let out all my anger on my prey. 

"What is she, a vampire?" It is a deep voice this time.

"She is the new girl, Oooh my God she will kill him." Another girl shouts.

I know I promised Elsa, but was I supposed to let this stupid boy harass me?

I am so furious right now and I am powered by adrenaline. 

"You snatched my phone asshole!" I snap at him. And Suddenly I am pulled off him by a very strong guy who holds me tight against his hard chest, I know it is a guy because his chest is flat plus no girl is strong enough for me when I am super irritated. 

I try fighting him but he holds me stronger pressing my back against his hard torso. I try pushing him off, kicking him but he doesn't budge.

A guy is holding me for the first time and it is freaking me out. 

The guy I was strangling some minutes ago turns to look at me a cocky grin on his face displaying the cutest set of teeth that I have ever seen. 

He is very cute. I hadn't notice that. His whole demeanor screams a fuck boy and he is carrying this aura of a bad boy. 

He has bright blue eyes and his short blonde hair is falling slightly on his forehead in a cute way. He could probably get a professional modeling contract if he tried. 

Wait is he not supposed to be mad at me for humiliating him?

"Feisty much?" He asks stepping some few inches away from me and I try kicking him to no avail. "I like them feisty, girl." He takes another step closer to me stretching his hand to touch me and I cringe.

"Back off, Jake!" the guy who is still holding me tight barks at him and just like that Jake steps back but not before winking at me. 

I am still breathing rapidly and my hands are now clenched tightly. 

"Relax!" The guy commands me quietly and miraculously I seem to obey him. I try to relax but it is not even easy.

"Breath in slowly!" I inhale slowly.

"Breath out!" I exhale slowly. He commands me to do that severally until my breathing rate is back to normal and my heart starts beating normally. Is it always this simple?

"You might want to learn how to control your anger," he whispers to me his grip on me loosening. 

I really have to, unless I want to keep hurting people, the big question is, how? How do I control my anger? How do people do that?

"You are okay?" I nod, and he lets go of me slowly. 

I take my time to calm down and by the time I turn to look at him he is already walking away giving me his back. 

I stand there watching him until he takes a seat next to that jerk. The Jake guy shoves him playfully but he just glares at him. 

He sits down without looking at me and I take the chance to stare at him. If I said Jake was muscular then his friend is more muscular. He has this impassive dark gray eyes and a well maintained dark short hair. 

He is overly cute but very impassive in an extreemly hot manner. 

He proceeds to put his headphones on and starts scrolling his phone, I guess that's my cue to stop staring at him. I walk back to the seat just as the professor walks in.

**♦**♦**♦**♦**

I am quick to walk out immediately the professor walks out of the door. I don't want to collide with Jake or anyone else today. 

I know Elsa is waiting for me outside, she never fails to keep her promises. 

I attempt to step out of the room but someone grips my left hand and I spin automatically ready to pounce on whoever they are

I don't want to keep strangling people but they are really pushing me.

The jerk face, again. I cuss internally. 

"Whoa, retract your claws, I come in peace," he is quick to defend himself when I glare at him. His friend is standing next to him with the same stoic straight face.

I roll my eyes 

"What?" I bark at him. Why can't he be like this friend of his? I would rather he glares at me than smile. I love people who knows how to mind their own business.

"Ice cream after classes?" Really? This guy is getting to my nerve and it is not cool. I love my space but he doesn't seem to get that.

"You don't learn from your mistakes, do you?" I hiss at him.

"You are just too hot to..."

"Let go of my hand!" I hiss between my already clenched teeth cutting him mid sentence.

"Calm down, I am trying to make amends here," if ice cream is his way of apologizing then his apologies sucks. 

"Your way of making amends sucks!" I try yanking my hand away but he tightens his grip and my hands fists automatically. 

"Let her go, Jake," his friend has this mischievous smile on his face. 

"You are playing hard to get, huh?" this is probably the longest conversation I have ever had with a boy. 

I hoist my free hand up ready to punch him and Elsa calls my name and I immediately step back. 

Lucky bastard.

I sigh deeply taking a step towards her and she takes my hand in her's immediately.

"This jerk face won't let me be," I am quick to defend myself. 

"Jake....Lucas. Meet my sister her name is Belle." Elsa tells them and I roll my eyes at her. 

She is friends with them? I hope not.

"Your sister is quite aggressive she almost strangled me to death three hours ago." He tells Elsa and she turns to me for answers.

"He snatched my phone," I defend myself.

"Can you not touch her things again? Oooh and something else please don't hold her hand again she is short tempered and she can do real crazy things when angry," she gives them her sweet smile and Jake reciprocates it but his friend Lucas, right? He doesn't even try, he is so impassive and I guess I like that about him. We have something in common.

"Won't snatch her phone again....maybe I should try snatching her heart." I roll my eyes at him pulling Elsa away.

"About the ice cream?" he asks desperately.

"Who says no to free ice cream? I will tug the girls along." Elsa promises her.

"Deal then," he shouts.

"You will drive me home first then you can go to whatever places you want to go with him," I tell her.

"You are coming. " 

"No I am not," I tell her putting my headphones on.

"You need a life, Belle." 

"Are you friends with them?" I ask her a minute later.

"We have some mutual friends,"

"Personally I can't stand that Jake guy." He makes me want to heave my guts out. 

"Jake is cool, Lucas is the asshole." She tells me walking me to my next class and I make a promise to keep away from trouble. 

I secure a seat in the first row and ten minutes later a very young and handsome professor walks in. You would think he is a student if he wasn't carrying those files. 

"Do we have Anna Belle in this class?" I hoist my hand up and he walks over to me.

"You okay?" he asks and I nod fighting the urge to roll eyes at him.

"Okay, I want to talk to you after class," I don't want to, but I nod anyway. 

I am the first person to shove my note book in my shoulder bag ready to walk out when he dismisses us two hours later.

"Anna-" ugh!

I have to talk to this professor. I so hate dad for doing this to me.

I walk over to him and I am aware of the stares I am geting from the other students.

"My office is some few meters away, let's go," he starts to walk out and I follow him silently.

"Have a seat," he ushers me to one of the seat in his office and I just oblige.

"I am Bran, the school's therapist," I roll my eyes and immediately I stand up ready to walk out.

The last thing I want is a therapist.

"I don't need a therapist, Bran," I tell him flatly before walking outside banging his door and I groan when I bump into someone.
