Chapter Four

"...And I believe, and I believe

I'm falling for you like a thief, weak in the knees

And when I see you

I fit to steal the keys to your heart again..."

I sang loudly in my bathroom. Baby riddim, one of my favorite songs. I was brushing my teeth in front of my mirror and was just about to go take my bath. I took up my bar of soap and held it to my mouth like a microphone and with that I shouted to myself in the mirror,

"Hey you! You wanna know why I'm so fucking happy today? Well, I'll tell you,it's cause I'm free. So freaking fucking free"

Then I did this crazy thong with my hair, scattering it all over my face and then I began singing again,

"... I dropped all my baggage

Let go of that habit

The pains you can have it cause now I'm content with me

Am loving this skin

And I've got a good man

Feels like the beginning

But now I'm content with me..." I sang as I stood in the shower.

" Annalita,what the fuck are you doing in there? You're late" I heard Kyra shout, probably from the kitchen.

" I'll be done soon " I shouted back and hurriedly concluded my warm bath. When I was done, I picked up the dress Kyra had set for me and put it on. Reasons I love my sweet cousin, she's always ready to help with my dresses. I did a little make up, a little lip gloss and powder and all that. Then I fixed my hair into a ponytail,the one that fell to the right, cascading my shoulders.

" Now I'm ready to go" I said to myself as I picked my back pack and went downstairs. Breakfast was already ready.

" Thanks Kyra " I said as I began eating. She smiled at me. I finished up my breakfast, picked up my bag where I had left it and kissed Kyra goodbye. I hopped on my bike and zoomed off.

On my way, surprisingly I came across Mr. Handsome of the other day. He still looked lost so I decided to help again. Be a gentle lady! I stopped my bike right beside him and took off my helmet.

" Hey handsome,you need any help " I said.

" Yeah but no" he replied. He seemed to have recognized me already.

" Where you going?" I asked

" I think a school called Spring High"

" You mean Spring Field High?"

" Yeah,I guess but I don't know where it's located "

" Well lucky you,I'm going there too" I said with a smile.

" You're a teacher?" he asked.

" Nah ...a student"

" Oh okay!"

" Hop on! I'll give you a ride" I said

" Thanks " He said as he sat behind me. I gave him my spare helmet and when he was done putting it on,I zoomed off. We got to school in no time and he got down. He unbuckled the helmet,handed it over to me and asked,

" So what class are you? "

" Grade 11. I'm pure science, You?"

" Same " he said.

" Cool! So what's your name?"

" Oh! Sorry for my lack of manners, I'm Salvatore Styles Stilinski"

" Oh my Goodness! Your name is mind blowing"

He smiled.

" Yeah! What's yours? "

" Annalita Raymond Hart"

" Beautiful name, just as its owner " he said and I blushed,well that's weird. I never blush for a guy, well whatever!

" Thanks Sal. Don't mind if I call you that,right?"

" Yeah it's what everyone calls me"

" Well cool. Why don't I show you around?"

" Sure, I'd love that "

We began walking into the school premises and as usual, all eyes were on me. Well maybe not me this time. The guy beside me was way too handsome to be looked past. I heard some girls murmur distinctively, some of them stifled a scream while few feigned a faint. Jeez! Girls in their childishness!

" I guess they really like me already " Sal said.

" Why wouldn't they? You're one hell of a handsome guy"

" Awwn thanks!" Sal said and I smiled. We walked into my class which is also Sal's new class. The first gaze I met was that of Rio. He seemed surprised at first,then he started to glare at Sal and back at me. I rolled my eyes and turned to Sal who was already talking with a girl. Jeez! Already!

" Well who do we have here? " One of the guys, Canny said.

" The name's Sal" Sal said oblivious of the guys glaring angrily at me. To worsen the situation, I slipped my hands around his and said,

" Here, I'll lead you to your seat" I said sweetly.

" Sure" Sal said. His eyes roamed through the class and that was when he noticed the pairs of eyes staring at him. Rio was probably the first. He took his eyes off Sal to me and then he walked out of the class, his friends behind him.

" What was that?" Sal asked.

" I guess not all of them like you after all" I said. He shrugged.

" I really don't need them. I've got you" he said with a naughty smirk and then he dawned on me. I've got myself a flirt.

" Well... flirty, aren't you?" I said. He smiled and settled on the seat I showed him. I settled beside him and we got talking. Well... isn't he an amazing guy!!! Texas might go well after all...
