Chapter four I tossed and turned the whole night. Katherine and Alicia were texting me to go to bed and that nothing bad was going to happen. I just couldn't help but think he was reading it at that exact moment. It terrified...no...horrified me. See I write everything. I call people everything under the sun because the book is mine. I even said that Sam was an idiot in one of my recent entries because I was so mad about him and HER. The next morning I got up and showered and got ready. I put on some black wedged boots, red skinny jeans, a red shimmer tank top, and a black see through shirt over. I grabbed my makeup and put on a bit of eye liner and lip stick. My alarm started to go off again! Shoot I was about to miss my bus! I ran and grabbed my house keys and my book bag and left. I had gotten there just in time. As soon as I got to school Alicia and Katherine told me to go ask for the book, but it was almost class time so I decided to wait till lunch. The time couldn't go any slower during my two first periods, but eventually it was lunch time. "Hey! Melanie! Your going to ask him now right?" Katherine asked. "Of course! I need that book in the safety of my arms now!" I exclaimed. "Well go! Today is your chance! SHE isn't here. Eat fast and go!" Alicia said. As soon as she said that, I was taking my last bite of lunch. I rushed and threw away my plate and went to go get him. He was sitting with his group. We made eye contact from far away and I looked at the door and he knew what to do. He excused himself and brought his bag with him. I guess it was so he didn't have to look like he had a diary in front of his friends. I waited in the hallway for him. He looked at me and signaled the stairway. I followed him to there. What were we doing here I thought??
Chapter Four Sam opened the door for me to walk in. The musty air hit my face and sent a shiver down my spine. I quickly hugged myself and went to close the door. He watched me intently as I did. When I walked back he had no expression on his face what so ever. It was hard to figure out what he was thinking, or what he was planning on doing. "Do you have my book Sam?" I asked him He chuckled. "I have it in my bag, but use my real name." My eye grew wide and my jaw dropped...He never asked me to say his real name...He never liked his real name. "Ok Sebastian. Can I have my book now?" I ask with a pleading, but firm look in my eyes. He grabbed the book out of his bag and walked closer to me. It was within my reach when he extended his long arms into the air. "Try and get it." He said. "Why? So you can laugh because I'm shorter than you?" I asked. "Well yeah." He smirked. "Fine." I walked closer to him and pulled on the collar of his shirt. I entwined the shirt between my fingers and pulled just enough for him to give me my book. "Thank you" I smirked. "Yeah yeah." Sebastian said looking at me with devilish eyes. I was about to walk out when I remembered why I was so worried in the first place. "Hey Sebastian. You didn't...You would tell me if you had read my book right?" I said looking back at him. All he did was take his navy blue, fuzzy jacket off and turned it inside out. It was a reversible jacket, but he hardly wore it the other way. Personally the way he had just changed it to, which had gray with red and black thin lines running across randomly on it, was the way I liked it best. He wrapped the jacket around me and opened the door for me to walk out. The hallway was vacuous seeing how lunch was still not over. It felt as if Sebastian and I were the only two in the school because it was so quiet and still. I looked at him again. "Did you read it or not sebas?" He picked up his bag and looked at me with his warm, dark chocolate eyes. He came close to me. So close, I could smell the sweet cologne he was wearing. I breathed in and looked back at him. He bent his back just so that his head was positioned closely to my neck. I could feel him breathing on my neck. He moved closer to my ear. He whispered "Maybe Amanda. Just maybe." With that he walked away and I was left with my book safely in my arms again. Though I had Sebastian jacket on me, I felt cold as if I had nothing on, as if I was left stranded in the Arctic waiting for the one sign of reassurance that I was not going to freeze to death. It seems to me though that that reassurance is going to take a long time to get to though.
Her name is Amanda but she uses Melanie for the same reason Sebastian uses Sam...they both don't like there names. It will be explain in the next chapter.
Chapter Five After a few minutes, I walked back into the cafeteria and grabbed my bag. Alicia and Katherine were staring at me. I quickly showed them the book and they came running to hug me. I hugged back with the sleeves of Sebastian's huge jacket. I looked up briefly and I saw dark eyes look at me with the faintest smirk on his face. His eyes says something I didn't understand. A look I hadn't seen before and I couldn't interpret. He knew it drove me crazy when I didn't understand something. I looked away and grabbed my bag. I walked right past his table, waving my hips back and forth like a runway model, and walking with my eyes directly on his. Once I was parallel to his table I looked at him and quickly looked away continuing my runway walk. I reached the cafeteria doors that lead into the hallow hallways but before I went any further I turned and looked over my shoulders and gave Sebastian a smirk. As I opened the door I heard the guys saying "Daangg. I never knew Melanie was done like that!" All of them said something similar, but some couldn't even finish there sentences. I looked up at the old clock that hung ok the wall and lunch time was almost over. I didn't want to be trampled by people, so I ran as fast as I could to my classroom. I had a minute and a half left. I could make it I told myself making the first quick turn to my right. One minute left. I might not make it I told myself as I climbed the stairs to the second floor. 45 seconds. I was half way up the stairs going to the third floor when I hear HER and him in the staircases below. I hid myself in the corner and listened tentatively. "I can't believe you! I didn't come this morning because I want feeling well and you up and give your jacket to someone else?" SHE screamed at him. "I don't understand what the big deal is. It's just a jacket." He answered calm and collectively "If a girl wears the jacket of a guy it either means they are dating or they like each other. In this case the jacket you always give me everyday is a symbol of us dating!" I heard no answer coming from Sebastian's mouth. Why though? "If I find the girl you gave the jacket to...ooo well she just better watch out. Your mine you hear? Mine Sam!" "Your not my owner." He said simply. My jaw dropped as I heard this. "Oh ok. The contract means nothing eh? Ok. I'll rip it when I get home then." "No! Wait. Sorry. Just I don't like to be called someone's property. Makes me feel like a slave." "Oh well Sam. You are one." SHE said with a devilish tone. At that moment I heard the bell go off and I slowly got up from the corner and went to class. I couldn't concentrate at all. The music in the room my teacher put on, which usually helped me concentrate, wasn't helping. All I kept picturing in my head is Sebastian in a cold cellar with thick metal chains restraining him against the rough concrete walls and HER just hurting him. I tried to stop thinking about it. I tried so hard I felt a tear roll down my cheek and on the the hand out out teacher had given us. Looking up, everyone was working except sebas. His eyes were glued to mine.
