História Shifter Academy - Not my first kiss, i swear!!

Chapter 8

When we got to the classroom, I sat in the middle row,  at the back of the room with no empty seats around, so I wouldn´t have to sit beside him. As it was beginning of June, the classes were just starting, and it was really important our choices of placement, because that is probably where we would be sitting for the rest of the year. Of course I didn’t thought he would be such a stupid jerk.

He went to the guy sitting at my left and said “Let´s trade places.” Simple like that. Please say no, please say no. “No way man, this place is mine since last year.” Do I have psychic powers? That would be awesome. Let me see. James, bite your own fingers off. I watched him expectantly and waited for the show to start, but nothing happened .Nope. guess I am not the main character of a really cool fiction book. That sucks.

The guy´s dog beside him started growling at James. He was very average looking. He had short curly brown hair, with big caramel eyes. He seemed like two years older than me, but his face showed otherwise. He had the perfect younger-brother vibe, even though he was much taller than me. The dog beside him was a chocolate Labrador with eyes the same color as his owner.

James moved so fast I couldn´t even see him doing so. He grabbed the guy by his shirt and held him up, making him struggle to get free. “I said get out, didn’t you hear me? Or do I have to make myself clear? And make your dog shut up or I will call J.K. and we will see them have some fun together.” James said, looking furious. The dog kept on barking, and second later, with a sudden bright light, his black panther appeared beside him, growling at the dog. That was enough for me. I couldn´t stay watching as he tortured the guy because he wanted to show me how much of an ass he could be.

I stood up and walked slowly toward him. He saw the movement the moment I started it and just stood watching. I walked between both of them facing James. When he let the guy go, I pushed on his chest with both hands until his back was pressed in the back wall of the classroom. I could hear a lot of gasps from the other students a few seconds later. A circle was forming around us, but I didn´t give them any notice. His panther was getting closer to the kid and his dog, seeming oblivious to what was happening to James. He walked as if stalking his prey.  

“Call the Kitty off. Right now.” my voice was rough but restrained. I was trying to contain my anger but it was hard to do so with the ridiculous surprised face James had on. What, did he think I was just going to watch he do that and appraise him when he got the sit?

Understanding – sooner better then later- that I was dead serious, he turned toward the panther ( J.K. I think was his name) and seized his movement. He sat as if nothing had just happened, and just started watching us. I didn´t give a damn.

“What do you think you are doing? Are you seriously going to beat the guy up because you want to sit beside me?” I pushed him stronger on the wall getting closer to him in the process. “Did it ever went through your head that I might not actually enjoy all of this macho bravado that you are trying to put up? Well, if it didn’t, I will just tell you that I had a really bad image of you before, but now you did it. I can´t stand guys who think they are better than others.” I was fuming. “So, after you finish apologizing for him,” I pointed to the guy without taking my eyes off James “ You will go sit in that far corner and with leave us alone so I can at least have some piece.”

He looked like he had been struck by a truck. Then his face changed and it seemed like he had not listened to a word I’d said. He focused on my mouth and with all my fury, I noticed second too late how close we actually were. With a swift movement he grabbed my head with both hands and gave me a hard kiss. I pushed and struggled until he let me go. “God damn it woman, people die for talking to me like that. You are brave; I like that. I am sticking up with you. It´s decided.”

Now I was the one looking at him in shock. What? Is he serious? I just said I couldn´t stand the idea of being in the same room as him and his first answer is to kiss me? This guy is nuts.

Before I could give him a proper answer – or stick a chair where his sun never shined- he walked toward the dog-dude and for my surprise said “Sorry for that.” for God’s sake, James gave him a pet on the shoulder as if they were suddenly best bros, and walked off, to the place I pointed him to sit, J.K. following his movements. All of this with a freaking smile on his face. Bastard.

When everybody started dissipating, the guy looked at me. “Thank you for standing up for me. He always thinks he is in charge of the school and that he commands everyone here, but actually he is just a big ego. My name is Chris by the way.” He held his hand up for me. I took it. Good. The ‘guy’ had a name.

“Its fine, I can´t stand anyone doing stuff like that, and it was actually my fault. I am sorry for that.” I said.

 “You are Kayla right? The head mistress’s daughter? Everyone is talking about you lately. Very nice to meet you.” I didn´t had the chance to answer, because at that moment the teacher came in and everyone stood silent as if nothing had happened.
