"Do you know how hard it is to control the desire? I want to have you," he confessed as he leaned down to run his nose on the length of my neck torturously slow, taking his time sweet time. I had goosebumps forming on my skin now, "Knowing that every time I touch you, you respond to me so innocently that it drives me insane not to have my way with you." I could feel the atmosphere turn warm.

"But I can't do that," he said pulling back and looking in my eyes, "Annesana advised me not to do anything as I haven't learned to control the Franchixer side of me that well," he said.

"I think you are doing fine," I replied truthfully to which he hummed. I hadn't noticed any anger issues or out of control behavior. He was always the most composed person. He gave me a smile that stole my breath away.

The next day in school, we were having a written test which apparently I forgot. When I got the question paper most of the questions looked foreign to me and I groaned. I began writing the ones I knew first and trying the ones I didn't know. I chewed on the pencil as I looked at the paper worried. I already began dreading the time when the teacher would hand in the results. Looking around, I saw most of them busy writing busily. What were they writing so much? I wondered. When the bell rang I was glad to hand in my answer sheet.

"What were you guys writing so much?" I asked Jessi and Kyle as we walked out.

"I was drawing," Kyle grinned and I felt a little relief. At least I wasn't the only one.

We were going to the cafeteria after the class talking about the upcoming festival. Last year was fun minus the part of finding Megan's dead body. As we walked I was going to bump into somebody if it was Jessi pulling my arm to her side. I felt something strange and turned back to see the person who passed by me just a second ago.

"Eve?" Jessi called out my name, "Did something happen?" she asked me and I shook my head.

"No, so what have you planned to take part in the festival?" I asked her and she went to tell me about it before we reached the table where Lizzy, Bella, and Aiden were already seated. I was eating my yummy sandwich when someone came to our table to talk.

"Who's Eve?" a guy asked who wore round glasses.

"That's me," I replied wondering what he wanted.

"Ms. Lee asked for you regarding the assignment papers that were submitted. She's in the B block, the fourth floor," he said and left.

"Did you not complete it?" Jessi asked me.

"I did actually," I said, "I'll meet you guys later," I said leaving the table. The fourth floor, the fourth floor I chanted in my mind as I walked all the way. Ruka had texted me and I let him know that I was going to the B block, the fourth floor. When I reached the floor I saw two students standing in the corridor and talking, apart from them the floor was deserted.

"Excuse me, do you which room is Ms. Lee's office?" I asked them.

"Last second," one of them answered, murmuring thanks I walked.

I was going to ask for something else and turned to see no one there. That's strange, I thought. When I was in front of the door I knocked and heard a come in. Going inside I saw that the chair was facing the wall.

"Ah, you wanted to see me, Ms. Lee?" I asked her and saw the chair turn. I was surprised to see a guy there.

"Hello, Eve. Please take a seat," warily and unsure I took a seat, "We have met before but we didn't get to greet each other. My name is, Memphis," he said and I saw him observe my every moment. He was there that day at the party talking to Mischel.

"The guy said Ms. Lee called for me. Where is she?" I asked him.

"I had a few things to discuss with you," he said ignoring my questions, "I'm not going to beat around the bush, what do you know about the sapphire stone?"

This guy was trouble I realized. Getting up I began to walk to only have my back on the table and him on top of me. I kneed him in the crotch and almost ran when he held me more firmly.

"Fiesty, I like it," he said licking his lips and I felt disgusted.

"Let go, you ass-" he cut me by trying to kiss me. I bit his lip hard and heard him curse as I saw blood drip out. Before anything could happen Derek came to my rescue knocking him off me.

"Are you alright?" he asked me but another teacher butted in.

"What's going on here?" the teacher asked us as he saw me on the table, Derek in front of me and Memphis on the floor, "The three of you, principal's office. Now."

When we went to the principal's office, Ruka was already there sitting on a chair. It was unnerving as the whole process went. I don't know why he pulled that stunt knowing what the outcome would be. I felt like his ulterior motive was something else. Ruka calmy expelled Memphis out of the school much to Memphis surprise. Once we reached Ruka's private room, the vases that were on the shelf starting breaking one by one. It was scary. There were cracks on the window before it finally broke into pieces. Ruka was angry. I don't know why but I felt tears well up my eyes and soon it fell down on my cheek. In a second Ruka was in front of me both his hands cupping my face.

"Why are you crying?" He asked me worried.

"Are you angry with me?" I asked him softly as he wiped the tears away.

"I would never be angry at you, my sweet Eve. I was angry for what he did. It wasn't your fault, you didn't know about it and I trust you. Please don't cry. I didn't mean to scare you," he said pulling me into his warm and comforting arms for a hug, "I'll see to it he deserves what he sowed today," he said with a threat in his voice.
