Chapter 4-

My eyes widened in shock and horror. Could I be more unlucky?! I ducked my head even more and clutched the paper bag in my hand tighter.

What should I do know? I was already cornered! My head swam in complete panic- they're going to find out that I'm the underground girl and surely they'll be angry that I hit Leroy and then they'll blackmail me and make me do things I didn't want to do in exchange-

"You alright?"

I was pulled out of my reverie when the guy put his hands on my shoulder. My whole body jolted as a zap of electricity coursed through my body

My instant reaction was pulling away as quickly as possible from the guy. I nearly tripped over my feet as I stumbled out of the cafeteria.

"Hey! That's the girl from yesterday! Catch her!" I heard another guy shout from the cafeteria. His words made my mind switch back to my normal mode.

I sprinted down the hall and towards the school doors. I could already hear the heavy footsteps not far behind me. Gosh! How could they run so fast?!

I threw open the doors and staggered to my bike. Throwing one last glance behind me to see all of them guys a meter away, I pressed on the pedal and the bike lurched forward full speed. Go, go, go! I mentally screamed as my bike sped down the road.

I kept on driving until I was sure that I was a good 3 miles away. Finally stopping in a random park, I got off my bike and dropped onto a bench in exhaustion and anger. The adrenaline quickly fading away and my mind whirling around a tornade of thoughts, I held my head in my hands. Before I could stop myself, I was falling into a deep dark tunnel.

My last thought before falling asleep was:

Those bastards, they couldn't have at least let me have my food!

☯☯☯

"When is she going to wake up?" Leroy's voice filled the room.

"I don't know, but I seriously hope that she doesn't wake up until the other guys come!" An unknown voice replied.

"Yeah, gosh, what if she attacked us?!"

"We're definitely doomed if that happened..."

"Yeah...is she awake yet?"

"No,"

"How about now?"

"No."

"And now?"

"No!"

"...now?"

"NO! GODDAMNIT SHE'S NOT AWAKE YET!"

"You sure?"

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!" I suddenly screamed. Urgh what's all this racket about!? I rubbed my eyes until it adjusted to my surroundings. As soon as I realized that I was in an unfamiliar place, I leapt up. But what I didn't know was that I was in a bed... which of course led to me tripping on the bed sheets and tumbling ungracefully on the floor.

Groaning, I rubbed my eyes and tried to get back on my feet. Before I could properly recover, someone had jumped on my back and crashed me back onto the floor.

"Help me Leroy!" The guy who was sitting on me barked.

"Urgh could you wait Ty!" Leroy whined.

I struggled to sit up but Leroy squashed my hands. I opened my mouth to growl in anger but then clamped it shut. Then taking a deep breath, I used all of my strength and burst out of their grips. Before they could react, I was sprinting towards the door.

Just as I reached for the knob, the door flew open. My eyes flew wide and I froze as three more guys appeared. I spun my head around to see that Leroy and the other guy (whom I think was called Ty) had already recovered and were standing right behind me.

I was trapped.

My eyes darted everywhere for a possible escape but in vain.

"Don't even try," one of them said. Chills ran up and down my spine at his voice. I slowly raised my head up to stare at the familiar midnight blue eyes. It was him. It was him who made me feel those things. It was him the root of my new problems!

"What do you want?" I said in a deathly voice although I was shaking in anger inside. If I blew up right then and now, I wouldn't get the answers I wanted and more problems would arise. I definitely had enough problems as it was, there was no need for me to have some more.

The whole room remained silent as I shot daggers at him but he didn't reply- he just stared.

"ANSWER!" I barked, my whole composure flying out of the window. They all jumped...all except him. His reaction surprised and pleased me: he was now fuming and boy was that hot. His dark hair was wildly unkempt and a few stray locks fell across his forehead right above his blazing blue eyes.

"Do not talk to me like that! I am your alph-" He was cut off when Ty slapped his head. He glared at Ty before turning back to me.

"You're my what?! My ass?!" I snapped as I took a step closer and poked him hard in the chest. By now I was practically nose to nose with him and I could feel the electricity zapping and crackling between us. We were both shooting daggers at each other.

His body shook in anger as he growled, "How DARE you disrespect your alph-"

"-NOW NOW CHILDREN! CAN WE PLEASE CALM DOWN!" Leroy suddenly sang. Both of our heads snapped to him, resulting in the bumping of our heads.

"OUCH!" We screamed as our hands flew to our foreheads in sync. I rubbed my head and glared at him just as he did to me.

"You sick bastard!" I screamed- intense rage running through my veins.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SICK BASTARD?!" He screamed back.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SICK BASTARD?! ARE YOU TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND OR DID I BUMP YOUR HEAD TO HARD?!" I yelled.

"You little rat-" he snarled and lifted his leg to take a step forward but this time not only did Ty slap a hand on his mouth but all the other guys helped to hold him back.

I took this as an opportunity to sprint for the door but a hand shot out and snatched my ankle. I went flailing into the air but suddenly my wrist was pulled on and I ended up crashing into a hard chest.

My breath wheezed out of my lungs at the impact.

"Are you alright?" A soft concerned voice asked.

Goosebumps rose on my body at the sound and feel of his strong arms around me.

Snap out of it, Hayley!
