Chapter 9: Hunter

The first day of school. I ran into this girl she was smaller than me and clearly running away from the fight in the cafeteria. She had long brownish red hair. She was clearly in good shape, her body seemed push against the uniform we were told to be in. I didn't know what it was about her but I was drawn to her. She didn't address me as she should of. I don't know why I didn't punish her like I normally would anyone who stepped out of line but she was different. Mia the Joker informed me who she was. I noticed we had English together but she stayed quiet, never spoke up or talked to anyone. She seemed like a loner and it only made me more interested. I couldn't have her though, she was to low in ranks and nothing I did even caught her attention. I fought and won so many trials but yet she never seemed to speak to me or even mind my existence, but all I could think about was our first encounter. How I had to fight myself not to push my body against hers and how I wanted to kiss her. Her big brown eyes made me melt and broke right through all of my defenses. She was all I wanted nobody else had ever driven me this crazy. Almost a full year had passed and I hadn't heard another word from her and after class she just seemed to disappear. Then the final project we would be assigned partners, when the teacher called my name "Hunter and Megan" it was a dream come true. I could get close to her. I know it is against everything but for some reason losing everything seemed worth it to have her in my arms again. We meant you after school. She was on time but she seemed off, acting differently then during class when she blatantly disrespected me. I don't know why I let her slid when I wouldn't show mercy to anyone else. I had seen her walking towards me and the way the light was hitting her she seemed like an angel. While talking I had to use my influence to get her to speak. I hated it but this is it, my chance to get to know her. I needed to know her rank and score because maybe I would have a chance of being able to be with her. The sadness in her voice and mixed with a hatred. Looking at her I could feel it all and it made me feel sad. I didn't know how to comfort her though. She felt as if she was both but she wasn't just a number to me. To me she was Megan, a score didn't really matter neither did her tier, but I couldn't say that so I said what I thought might make her feel better. At the café I realized just how smart she was. I couldn't really focus on what she was explain because the look in her eyes was so firry and her smile. It seemed to light up the room, I was trying to take in and capture that moment her sitting next to me smiling. I realized I would give everything for her smile to never fade. I got hungry though and I wanted food. So I ordered it, Megan acted weird though and didn't order anything and when I questioned her I didn't get a solid answer but she seemed to anxious and fidgety so I dropped it. I finally let my curiosity about her father get the best of me. I figure he's dead because she said was when talking about him. I want to know everything though. She frustrates me so much, why can't she just tell me the answers to my questions. I'm not used to being disobeyed. But her answer I never excepted it. She blamed herself. It makes sense that they don't have a lot of money since she's a low tier, that's why she didn't want to order food I'm sure and she's embarrassed about it. But her tears I feel like it cute my heart. I can't believe myself, without thinking I told her to speak to her friends about it. This way I'll know if she has any or not and maybe find out who she hangs out with or if she hangs out with anyone but if my suspicions are right then she doesn't. She stopped crying but I can tell she more upset now that I said that. Dame it. I messed that one up. She's going to leave. I can't let her leave, it's not safe to walk alone outside and for this far. I grabbed her arm when she tried to leave and hugged her. I wanted nothing more than to feel her against me. I had wanted to hold her in my arms since the first day and now I have her. What if I just stand here and I never let her go. I know I can't do that but I wish I could hold her forever. "I'm sorry for everything..." I wasn't even thinking I just started to speak. What kind of effect does she really have on me. Why am I this vulnerable around her. I felt her l something rapped around her back and around her ribs. When we left all I could think about was her tears and the wrap that she had on. I will find out what happened, and if someone hurt you I swear I will make them pay. I won't let anyone hurt you and get away with it ever again. We back already. Megan I want to see you again tomorrow. I'll make sure I can see you again tomorrow. "Meet me here tomorrow 8am." All she did was nod. If your with me nobody will be able to hurt you. Who am I to talk I think I hurt her today. After all I'm the one who made her cry. It'll be better tomorrow I promise I'll make it up to you somehow. I can't let her be seen with me yet though for both of our sakes. She would only have a bigger target on her back if people saw her with me. The elite would come for her and I'm not sure just how many of them I can fight off on my own. I have to get stronger before I can let them see you or have the chance to take you from me. I'll do whatever it take for you Megan. I can't tell you how I feel yet but once I'm strong enough to be able to protect you I will tell you all of it and remind you it everyday.
