章 21: Body Of An Athlete

Alaina's POV:

Days had passed since that night. After Leo dropped me home I went straight in, not even looking back once. Pretty sure I slammed the door on him, though, I hope not.

Yes, I didn't even ask him to come in for water or anything. And No, I'm not generally that rude but that night was a special exception. 

I still have no idea why I had such a strong reaction to that prick's words, but for some reason it really hit me hard. And hence I was not really myself that night.

Poor Leo was the one who got the bad end of the chain reaction of the horrible events that night when I snapped at him after he got me home. He tried to comfort me by holding my hand, I'm sure he was only trying to sooth me by a warm gesture as I was getting out of his car; and instead of thanking him for being there for me even though we weren't even that close yet, I jerked my hand away and snapped at him, "Don't touch me without my permission."
