4. Mysterious Woods.

Arabelle's Pov:

Today would be like any other day me trying to not catch the eye of Mr. Woods or Kellan, I don't know what to call him. Ill stick to Mr. Woods yeah that would be good but I'm confused he never left my mind, during the weekend he certainly wasn't leaving now.

"You're going insane." I thought to myself as I found myself walking to his class at the end of the day. I started my so called teacher's assistant job this week onwards and here I was standing in front of the door debating whether I should go or not.

And just like clockwork he opened the door smiling. Well looks like someone's happy.

I smiled back as he moved to let me in, the door clicked shut and the room was quiet like someone died.

"Ara please arrange the books in the storeroom." He said with a smirk on his face, I would protest, but decided to hell with it. As I did what I was asked I drifted into my thoughts. I wanna get out of this place sometimes I feel like I don't fit in, in the cliques, the gossips, the hatred and if at all the bitchiness, that surrounded every inch of it. Sometimes I have a need to belong to fit it, but then as soon as it comes the feeling goes. And in such moments I am glad I have Kristina my best friend. One that doesn't wanna belong but like me is different which is a blessing the one that truly understands.

And all of a sudden the door opens and Mr. Kellan peeks his head in.

"I see you got quite a bit done. You can leave whenever you wish." I stared at him blankly for a few minutes until Mr. Kellan stood in front of me staring at me he snapped his fingers, bringing me out of my thoughts immediately. He pressed a kiss to my head I smiled and left. It seemed like this was turning into an everyday thing, since the first time he did it, him kissing my forehead, whenever I left him and for some reason unknown to me, I didn't mind.

I reached home drained of emotional and physical, mostly emotional energy. I liked going for a stroll in such occasions to just be by myself. A walk in the woods should do me good clear my mind.

I found myself in a clearing as it approached dark. The moon up in the sky illuminating my path. I sat admist silence finding solitude in the darkness that surrounded me. Its pretty amazing right, how a person, a place, could capture your every thought and turn it into something beyond your wildest imagination? Even though I wanted to escape him all I ever could think about right now was.. him. As the scenery in front of me captured my attention, a rustle between the trees caught my attention until a figure appeared in front of me. Slowly a wolf appeared from admist its hiding place. My body froze in fear my mind numb my heart beating fast till I could hear the beats in my ears.

He came closer, his eyes set on me. I should run for my life, but no my feet planted itself on the ground. My eyes never leaving his, nor did his leave mine maybe he was observing his prey before she could die by his hands. He just observed me from a distance. I should be scared right? But nope nothing. Okay was I imagining that or waa he really scrutinizing me and just left? I sat pondering what the hell was that, until I heard a voice that belonged to none other than Mr. Kellan. What is he doing in the woods? Technically even I shouldn't be here but...

"What are you doing here?" I asked as he came closer.

"I could ask the same thing." He said with a smile and added You shouldn't be here now.

"I asked first." I said arguing with him.

"I came for a walk does that satisfy your inquisitive self?" He smirked. The things that smirk was doing to me.

"Pretty much." I answered unsure.

"Let me take you home." He said the smirk wearing off and a genuine smile taking its place.

The walk was silent with looks and smiles exchanged. Finally we reached my door.

"Thank you Mr. Woods."

"Its Kellan, Ara. "

"Thank you Kellan." I corrected myself as he smiled brighter than ever as I said it.

"I'll see you tomorrow." With that he turned to go home, right next door.

I stared at him with a smile on my face and he turned again to look at me and shut his door as I saw him for the last time in the day.
