As I sped around the corner I threw my back against the wall then falling down to the ground. The hallway was empty and finally... finally I was able to cry. Soft tears rolled down my cheeks and I felt a rush of anxiety come over me. "Idiot! Jerk! Stupid! As*hole! Player! Pervert!" I shouted. I had to let what I thought of Dante at that moment. I sobbed even more... What was this I was feeling? My heart seemed to throb in pain and all I could do was cry and cry. "Hey there, why ya cryin?" asked a voice. I looked up to see another student. He was tall and had spiked blonde hair. He was one of the little juvenile brats I disliked very much. "What the? Mind your own business!" I demanded. "No can do, V.P..." V.P? Who the hell did this guy think he was. "Just leave me! Can't you see I want to be alone?!" "That's thing... It's because you're alone that I want to be here." "What are you talking about?!" I shouted standing up. I glared at him. "Just what are you saying you stupid delinquent." "You took Kendra from us. We said you were going to pay. I will be willing to let you go ok one condition." "What?" I was still confused. "This," he said and he pushed me against the wall. "Wait! What are you doing?!" "If you don't want to have the terrible punishment delivered, this is what is going to happen so shut up and don't be loud or scream," he said grinning. His hands made their way down to my waist. "Stop... stop it!" He leaned in to kiss me but I quickly turned my head away causing him to kiss my cheek. "Just stop! I will have you expelled! Please just stop this!" "Ohhh expelled! I'm so scared V.P!" mocked. He roughly grabbed my face in his hand. "Just stop! Help! Somebody help!" I shouted. He covered my mouth with my hand as I screamed and went back to work. he unbuttoned my shirt and he kissed my neck. I bit his hand an he yelped in pain. "HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP!!" I shouted. Oh god! Somebody please help me! Help me now! "You b*tch!" he said raising a hand to hit me. "HELP ME DANTE!! Dante... please... help me..." I said. Just as the hand came down I was prepared and scared... But it didn't come... I looked up to see Dante. The juvenile's wrist in his hand. "What the hell were you going to do to this girl? Hit her? I'm sorry but that's something I can't allow," he said. I wanted to cry but the tears wouldn't come. He came for me... he came to save me... just for me. "I was giving her what she deserved," said the juvenile. What he said pissed Dante off. Dante twisted the juvenile's wrist and the juvenile winced and yelped in pain again. He tried to release himself but Dante only twisted it further. "Take that back! Tale that back or I break your wrist!" he demanded. "OUCH!! ALRIGHT! I take it back!" shouted the delinquent. Dante let him go and told him to leave and never come back or he'd be waiting, and the next time... he wouldn't be so forgiving. The juvenile understood and trotted away. "D-Dante..." I whispered falling to the ground. He looked at me. He knelt down in front of me and pushed the hair out of my face gently. "Are you okay... Armeria?" I nodded. "I... I... No! I'm not okay!" I shouted and I threw my arms around him. "I'm not okay at all!" Finally... the tears came. Dante softly put his arms around me his face by my neck. I didn't particularly mind… "It's okay... I'm here for you. No matter what, I will always be here for you," he said softly his breath gently tickling my neck. I gripped him tighter. "I'm sorry… just a bit longer..." I said quietly. I buried my face in his chest. He was much warmer and gentler then I thought. "I like it like this. And it's because I get to hold you without you waiting me to let go. I love you... so much... Armeria," he said gently. He lifted my chin up and I knew what he was going to do. I accepted it... I let him kiss me... just this once. But the feeling I got from it... was it love? Maybe...? Possibly...? Could it be that I love him?!
