I woke up at 7 amto the sound of my alarm.
I slowly got up and changed into some clothes for school; More specifically, jeans and a t-shirt.
I walked downstairs to see a black school bag and school stuff on the table. Who got this stuff for me, I
could've just used my old materials but I amgrateful. I sat at the table while I looked through the materials. "I
hope that's okay for you" Denice asked, appearing out of thin air and almost frightening me.
"Yeah it's great, thank you" I spoke groggily but as polite as I could while I rested my head on the table. I
eventually noticed the time and realised I had to leave. "Have a good day" Denice waved at me. I waved in
response before replying with "you too". At least she was trying to be polite.

I reached school after a decently long walk.
I strolled towards the lockers before being blinded by a pair of hands. "Guess who" the person giggled
evilly. "MmmI have no idea" I replied sarcastically, knowing exactly who it was.
"It's your best friend" she uncovered my eyes. "Hey Olivia" I said before hugging her. "Hey girl" she cheered
and wrapped her arms around me. "It's been one crazy weekend" I mumbled, resting my head on her
shoulder. "You can tell me all about it at lunch" she said happily, while we walked slowly to class.
We wandered down the halls, talking about everything and nothing when Olivia whispered something to me.
"Blake is checking you out".
"No he's not, stop" I whispered at her, before glancing over in Blake's direction and almost making eye
contact with him.
"Oh my god, he makes it so obvious" Olivia grinned. "Okay it's not like he's going to talk ...- Sofia" I was
interrupted by Blake who had approached me and Olivia while we were whispering.
Blake used to be one of my bestfriends as a kid. He left for a few years and returned only this year, looking a
lot different than when he left. He wasn't scrawny anymore and he was the captain of the football team. He
was tall and muscular , with black hair and blue eyes.
"Sofia" I heard a deep voice call me . I sighed hesitantly as I stared at Olivia grinning. "Hi" I smiled as I
turned around. "Hey" Blake beamed happily. "I know we haven't really spoken since I got back but I was
wondering if you wanted to come to my game tonight?" He questioned hopeful.
I didn't want to disappoint himand maybe there could be something there. "Okay" I nodded. "Great, I'll see
you then" he smirked as he jogged back to his buddies in the hall.
I heard themall cheer as Blake was smiling like an idiot. "He really likes you, and he's very attractive"
Olivia nudged me. "He wouldn't be able to handle my life style" I replied quickly. "You can't shut every guy
down because you're afraid of getting hurt, just please, try with himfor me" Olivia pouted as she pleaded with me.
"Fine" I shook my head while grinning. If Ace was allowed be with other girls, why can't I be with other
guys?.
—————————
It had just turned 4pmand the bell had rang.
"I'mcoming with you to the field, of course I have to watch my baby play" Olivia mumbled as she appeared
fromthin air. She was talking about her boyfriend Ryder.
"Good" I nodded.
We sat down at the bleachers. "Aye, Diaz, I heard you're here for my boy Blake" Ryder joked as he pecked
Olivia on the lips. "Yeah, I said I'd come watch himplay" I shrugged carelessly. "He's very excited" Ryder
smirked raising his eyebrow.
I rolled my eyes as I giggled. "Good luck baby" Olivia yelled. Ryder blew a kiss to her as he jogged back
onto the field. Sometimes they make me want to throw up.
It was half time and I was talking to Olivia. "You came" Blake smiled at me, coming over to the bleachers.
"Yeah, I thought I'd check it out" I nodded staring up at him. "I'mglad, I have to get back onto the field, talk
after though" he smirked before he ran up to Ryder on the field.
"He's in love with you already" Olivia giggled excitedly.
My phone was suddenly flooded with messages.
"Where are you"
"Come home now"
"School ended an hour ago"
"Hurry the fuck up"
"Right that's it, I'mcoming to get you"
Why was I only getting these now ?.
"Shit" I frantically grabbed my bag fromunder our seat. Then I saw him, Ace . He walked towards the
bleachers. I swear I could see fire in his eyes. "Holy smokes" Olivia's jaw dropped at the sight of Ace. "I
know he's hot, now shut up" I hissed at Olivia. "Where the fuck were you?" Ace shouted at me, grabbing
everyone on the bleacher's attention. "I was here" I uttered, afraid to speak due to how angry he was.
The whole football teamstopped playing because of the scene that Ace was making.
"We need to get home....now" Ace demanded, his voice full of rage as he stood at the bottomof the
bleachers. I walked down to Ace. I walked beside himas we left .
"Sofia?" Blake called out for me. I watched Ace's face become more angry than he already was. "Where are
you going?" Blake grabbed my arm. I flinched turning to Ace. Ace's anger was now focused at Blake instead
of me. "Did I say you could touch her?" Ace snarled at Blake. "You shouldn't have to say if I can touch her"?"Blake snapped back at Ace.
Ace was taller and more muscular than Blake. "Blake, I'mokay I promise" I muttered quietly as stood next to
Ace. Ace hadn't hurt me and I have no reason to believe he would want to; he was just scary.
"Get out of here before I beat the shit out of you" Ace warned Blake, squaring up to him. "And what if I ...."
Blake was interrupted by Ace's fist colliding with his jaw.
I stumbled back due to Ace's sudden burst of anger. Was it really sudden though?.
Blake lay on the floor, in a haze, with blood spilling fromhis mouth. My eyes watered at the sight. One punch
fromAce did that.
I gasped in shock at the sight of Blake as the whole football teamstared in amazement. "Fuck" Ace grumbled
holding his fist. He turned towards me. I flinched, thinking that Ace was going to. But I didn't feel anything.
Ace just stared at me weirdly. "Get into the fucking car" he grumbled viciously. I basically ran to the car
worriedly.
I sat in the front seat with Ace.
The drive was silent.
"Why did you protect yourself?" Ace's deep voice questioned me. I stared up at himbefore looking back
down at my hands and playing with my hands. He stopped my hands with his. "Answer me!" He snapped. It
seemed like he hadn't calmed down at all.
"No reason" I gulped as I watched his hand that was still on mine. He didn't say anything.
"You're lying" he finally spoke up. "I'll find out what happened to you" he muttered with a determined tone.
"Why do you care?" I uttered, glancing up at him. Ace raised his eyebrow at me . He raised his hand in the
air to mimic hitting me and I flinched again.
"Fuck" I whispered to myself. "That's why" he replied with a disgusted face; I wasn't quite sure what he was
disgusted at. "Just leave it alone, it's not important" I mumbled, acting carelessly as I stared out the window
at the passing cars.
"You should know if you're going to marry me, I'mnot going to hit you" he finally spoke as if he had been
holding that in since our conversation.
He knew exactly what was wrong with me, he just wanted to hear me say it.
"You're very angry, you'll get angry at me and then you'll get used to it" I shrugged shyly, glancing at him. "I
don't hit women, especially one that's going to be my wife" he cleared his throat, stopping the car. I barely
knew this guy and he was going to be my husband.
I'mnot going to take his word. He will have to prove it through his actions.
