*Edited

It's currently Tuesday morning, and I already want to die.

I do my usual morning routine and head downstairs to grab something to eat.

Eliot texted me last night saying he's taking me to school today.

My friends are practically my personal chauffeurs. Since I failed my driver's test three times already, I eventually just gave up.

I head to the kitchen and toast a waffle.

Once it's done, I grab it and head outside to meet Eli.

We make our way to school while carpooling to Chase Atlantic.

It's an addiction at this point.

Eliot drove through the school gates and I can't help but feel nervous.

'I'll see you tomorrow Layla'

His deep voice ran through my head.

Getting out of my daze, I realize Eliot had just parked.

I bring my hands to the door latch and open the door.

Heading out a cold breeze ran through my body.

Shivering I pull my hands into my hoodie.

Thank Jesus I wore a hoodie today this weather is bipolar as fuck.

Eliot and I are walking to the front doors and we spot Violet talking to Matt.

We start walking towards them and then an idea pops up in my head.

I see that Matts's back was facing towards us, which meant he couldn't see us approaching.

I stop walking and see Eliot turn around and raise an eyebrow at me.

I laugh evilly in my head.

I walk up behind Matt discreetly, while Eliot watches me with an amused and confused look.

I jump on Matts's back and scream his name in his ear.

He jumps up in fright, and trips, then immediately fall to the ground with me still on his back clinging to him.

I lose my grip on him replacing my hands from his back to my stomach rolling on my back in laughter.

"You fucking bitch." He exclaims loudly.

The teens walking past us look at us with weird faces.

I see Violet shake her head and start walking away and Eliot is just standing there watching us amused.

Matt gets up and glares at me, while Eliot gives me his hand to get up.

"I hate you." Matt mumbles while wiping off the dust from his leg.

"I know you love me ratty Matty." I coo while watching him try not to laugh.

"Fuck you, Summers." He says while walking away from me towards his first class.

I giggle and loop my arm through Eliot's and make our way to class.

3 hours later.

It's now lunch, Violet and I are sitting down waiting for Eliot to come back with our food.

"So there's a party tonight at Josh's place do you want to go?" Violet asks me.

"Yeah, why not. Have you asked Eli yet?" I ask.

"No, I didn't bother too, knowing he probably already knows about it." Violet states taking a sip of her water.

"Okay, we'll ask him if he wants to ride with us." I tell her.

Violet nods and turns her head's attention towards the cafeteria doors that open loudly.

It seems that the whole Cafeteria goes quiet as the three godly-looking guys walk in.

Dante and Andre are in the front view walking to their table, while Landon is behind them taking his time.

I see girls eye him hungrily and some look at him scared.

Even the guys look quite terrified of him.

His body holds this sort of power to make anyone or anything kneel to him, as he confidently walks towards their table I can't help my check him out.

He's wearing black jeans with rips at the knees, a plain black hoodie and black converse shoes.

Well if I ever talk to him again I'll know not to ask what his favorite color is.

I see the outline of a silver chain from his neck and four to five different rings on his fingers.

His midnight-black hair is the same as usual with the 'I just got out of bed' look as it falls in front of his eyes.

He has a small scab on the bottom right of his plump lips from the fight, his jaw is clenched and his beautiful grey eyes are emotionless as his face.

He makes his way to the table which is not too far from ours, just two tables away.

He sits down and relaxes in his seat.

I turn my head away from him as I see Eliot approaching, and the cafeteria goes back to its normal self.

Eliot sits down and passes us our food as we thank him.

"Are you girls gonna go tonight?" Eliot says while stuffing his face with fries.

"Yeah, we are. We were just gonna ask you if you're going. Are you going with the team or are you gonna come with us ?" Violet asks him.

Eliot scoffs.

"As if I'm going to ditch y'all for them." He says, winking at us.

"Um yes, you would." I say eyeing him and he gasps dramatically.

"How dare you, Layla!" He says dramatically with wide eyes.

Violet starts laughing and I shake my head at his behavior.

"Well, who's gonna be the driver for tonight ?" Eliot says turning to Violet

Violet and Eliot look at each other having a full staring competition.

Violet is staring at him innocently while Eliot is full glaring at her squinting his eyes, looking fucking constipated.

I just giggle while Eliot finally gives up.

"Fine you win I'll drive." He turns towards his fries, grumpy.

Violet flicks her hair and smiles proudly to herself.

As we talk about random things I can't help but look over at Landons table.

Andre was talking while Landon and Dante listened.

Landon's eyes were focused on Andre as he listened to what he says.

Suddenly his eyes are moved from his friends and are now on mine.

His grey eyes meet my green ones and I'm suddenly in a trance.

His eyes held no emotion looking into my green ones.

We stare at each other, never breaking eye contact, and then the bell rings taking me out of my trance with him.

I grab my bag and stand up looking at my two friends who are still sitting, watching me warily.

"Is this gonna become a daily thing now. Eye sexing the scary bad boy" Eliot blurts out getting up from his seat.

I roll my eyes at his comment.

"Um, no correction scary hot bad boy" Violet corrects.

I shake my head and start heading towards class and then realise I have English which is the class I share with Landon.

Oh no, someone help me.

It's okay maybe he won't even show up, I don't even think he will it's not like I've seen him in that class before.

Yeah, that's because your always day dreaming or sleeping.

I push the door open to my class and sighed, revealed that he wasn't there yet.

I took my seat the same as yesterday and look out the window.

I hear a chair move in front of me and see Matt.

I smile brightly at him and he grins back at me.

The teacher starts the class and I yawn already bored.

I look out the window daydreaming and hear the classroom door open.

Knowing who it is already I prepare myself mentally to breathe.

I hear the chair next to me move.

Okay Layla, breathe.

In and out.

Just ignore the butterflies in your stomach and the muscular intimidating god beside you.

How the hell do I do that-

I suddenly feel a finger gently wrap itself into one of my soft locks of hair, twirling it around.

I slowly turn my head to the person and see Landon looking at me already.

My breath hitched as I stared into his eyes.

I look away with a blush and turn my attention to the front.

Still feeling his finger twirling my lock of hair, I smile to myself finding this funny and ignoring the butterflies in my stomach.

I turn towards him again and see him with his head back and eyes closed, while his hair falls over his eyes and his jaw was now relaxed.

His hand lays on his thigh while the other one is twirling my lock of hair.

I continue to stare at him like the weird bitch I am.

I switch my gaze to his soft-looking lips thinking how they would feel on min-

Layla you crazy horny girl stop it !

I look from his lips to his eyes and see them staring back at me now.

I blush again and turn my attention towards the ring on my finger.

I catch him glancing at my hand watching me play with the ring.

He then removes his hand from my hair and brings his attention to his hand.

He looks at the ring on his middle finger, sliding it off.

He then looks to my right hand and gently takes it in his.

His cold hand touching my warm one, making me feel tingles going through my body at the touch.

He takes my middle finger and slides the ring onto it and places my hand back in my lap.

I bring my hand up to look at the ring.

It's a plain silver circle ring but it has a snake engraved into it. The snake going around the ring and I see small initials engraved in the middle of the snakes body.

L.M

I look back at him confused.

"Protection." His deep voice says while looking into my eyes.

I look back down at the ring and smile at him.

"Thank you." I say politely, not entirely understanding what 'protection' meant.

He licks his lips and nods his head once and turns to the front.

The bell then rings and I see Landon get up and head out the door, not before his eyes locking with mine again.
