A Touch of Death

Not being Human (4)

*Edited*

Throughout the whole lesson, Adrian wouldn't stop bugging me. I tried my hardest to pay attention to the teacher but he would always find a way to distract me. It's especially hard when his touch sends electric tingles throughout my body. No matter how many times I jumped away he would find something to touch, thankfully clothing protected our skin from touching. After a while he just settled his hand on my lower thigh.

I continuously glared at him and he knew why but he still wouldn't move his hand. Deep down, I didn't want him to but compared to the fear I had it was a very small voice. When the bell went I packed up my stuff and started walking. 

"So why did you run off the other day? I didn't see you at all after what happened," I asked Adrian.

Adrian's eyes hardened, "I went to cool off," he answered.

I didn't ask any more questions knowing it would most likely make him more mad then he already was. We silently walked to my next class. Adrian sat on one side of the room while Ebony sat on the other side. I immediately went and sat next to Adrian not sparing Ebony a second a glance.

Pick your poison...

"Wow, you can hold a grudge," Adrian joked.

"I'm not holding a grudge I just don't want to speak with her at the moment. She said some things the other night and I just don't want to talk to her," I explained.

"They weren't mean or anything, right?" Adrian asked, concerned I smiled at his choice of words.

I shook my head, "No. They weren't mean. It was just the truth and sometimes the truth is very ugly," I told him.

"That it is," he agreed.

This lesson was the exact same as the last one. He placed his hand in my thigh and I just sighed, not bothering to move it. Adrian grinned victoriously and I just hit him playfully on the shoulder.

"How come you wear gloves all the time?" Adrian asked. 

I frowned, "I don't wear gloves all the time," I lied. 

"Every time I have seen you, you wear gloves. Why?" He asked. 

"You've only known me for what? Four days tops," 

"Wearing the same pair of gloves for four days is a little strange to me," Adrian said. 

"It's complicated," I answered vaguely.

Adrian didn't ask further and I appreciated that. Seeing as we were only writing notes for the lesson we chatted quietly while writing. Even though Adrian wasn't writing at all, just talking to me. The bell went and we gathered our stuff and continued walking to our next class.

I laughed when I realised we had the same class again, "Are you sure you're not stalking me?" Adrian joked, also noticing that we had the same class again.

I just rolled my eyes and spotted Cassie sitting near the back. She was sitting next a girl so I went ahead and sat next to Adrian again. Adrian was looking at me confused, "Do you want me to move?" I asked. 

"No! You're just a very confusing person Delaney," Adrian noted.

I blushed, "I get told that a lot," I muttered.

"A few days ago you didn't want to be anywhere near me. Today, you still won't touch me but your hanging around me by choice," Adrian observed.

I sighed, "This may seem a bit crazy to you, but you make me feel good. I mean as in you make me feel better about myself, and I don't feel like that often. Am I making sense?" I tried to explain though in my opinion, I just sounded like a Mary-sue.
