Not Yet

“Jack.â€? I stood quickly and faced him.

“Hey, what’s up?â€? He seemed calm enough for a conversation. Hopefully nothing more.

“Um … nothing.â€?

“Well, come here.â€? Jack walked toward me with his arms out.

“No, Jack don’t.â€? I started to back away but he had already grabbed me. “Let go of me.â€?

“I just wanna talk.â€?

“Then let me go.â€? I squirmed but he had my waist.

“No, that’s okay. You might run away. So, what’s new with you?â€?

“Um … nothing. Jack, I’ll scream. I promise you.â€?

“Scream and see where that gets you. Just swear not to run.â€?

“I swear, okay.â€? He pushed me to the ground. “OW!â€?

“Sorry. So let’s talk.â€? He sat next to me, grabbing my hand.

“No. We are not like that.â€? I snapped.

“Not yet.â€? He freed my hand and smirked.

“Oh, we have nothing to talk about. Look, I got to go. I uh have to work. Bye.â€? I stood but he pulled me to the ground, holding me down.

“GET—OFF—MY—GIRLFRIEND!â€? Trey suddenly yelled. He came out of no where and just when I was beginning to think he was gone forever.
