DESTINY

CHAPTER 4

          KIM'S POV

I walked down the hall towards my locker and saw the bitch from yesterday throw herself at a guy who seem angry at her advances, I've never seen him before but again I don't know many faces around here, I quickly check him out and man, isn't he fine. I Shaked my head thinking of how the slut is shameless, that beautiful man though..

"I SAID STOP IT!!" The guy said in a deep commanding voice as he pushed her off him, I felt his voice vibrate through my spinal cord, damn even his voice is edible. He did not shout but everyone froze in place, well except me, I wasn't fazed I continue strutting down the hallway, my steps did not even falter. I looked in their direction and saw the bitch's head down in submission, she's so pathetic.

When I passed the group I saw Jordan with  two other guys and I remembered my plan. "Hi Jordan." I great as I passed by not waiting for his answer. Several steps over I looked back over my shoulder and almost laughed at his comical face. He sure did not expect I will talk to him plus the hall was drop-dead quiet, I heard the bitch gasp. Seriously what's her deal?

" Forgive me A-King." She apologized,I  continue on my way but couldn't stop thinking what name was that.. is it his name or he is some kind of monarch, I almost laughed at my direction of thought. Of course it's his name, monarch form of ruling was over since forever. But why is it that everyone is afraid of him? Maybe he just has a temper that no one wants to be in the way of.

" King can we have a word?" I heard the guy who defended me yesterday.

" Not now Nelson!." King replied sharply, I tried not to look over my shoulder and let them know I'm evesdropping on their talk. I busied myself with putting my bag in the locker and hunting down my geography book, I need to find time to organize this locker it's a mess. The hall was back to it's normal chaos King's furry forgotten.

I slammed my locker shut and was met with the face of annoying Jordan. Today I did not even flinch considering yesterday I jumped over 20ft high under the same circumstances." Impressive,today you are not jumpy, maybe it's because you woke up on the right side of the bed."

"What?" I did not understand what he was saying about right side.

"I mean today you said hi to me willingly, frankly I still don't believe it." He smiled brightly

I rolled my eyes and walked off clutching my books to my chest. I noticed King and Nelson were not here, maybe they went to  have the talk after all. " So why are you cool with me all of a sudden?" I heard Jordan behind me. We were almost reaching another corridor which leads to a deserted part of school building which is not used anymore because of modern classes and offices.

I heard voices down the deserted corridor ,at the same time Jordan speaks "Kim,wait up, why are you rushing there's still time." I huffed and turned. What does he want now? I know for my plan to actually work I need to play nice with him.

I twirled my pen between my fingers impatiently " you know you are so annoying." He gave me a toothy grin.

" Don't be like that Kim, I just want we be friends. Why do you like keeping to yourself? You know it's not healthy, don't you?"

" It's Kimberly to you and you know you sound like my mother, right?" I retort back. Then my ears perked when I heard the voices down the hall.

" King you know you can't get angry and use command at school." Command?? I resist the urge to furrow my brows. Jordan was still talking but I was listening down the corridor, thanx to him being a chatter-box I don't need to answer to him so he can continue blabbering his heart out.

" If I were you I'd watch my tone. And that Linda is so damn annoying, throwing herself at me every chance she gets. I cannot hit a girl but my patience with her is running on a thin thread,I might just end up banishing her." Wait banish? What is he taking about?

I was to listen some more to understand but " Kim.. KIM!"

" Uh?"

"You just zoned out,are you okay?" He went to touch my forehead with the back of his hand,maybe to feel my temperature but I stepped away.

"What now Mr. Annoying. What were you saying?"

He looked at me for a bit. " How much of that did you even hear?"

I gave him a sheepish smile and he  fake-faint because I never smile. What I did not know is that the faint was fake. When I see his eyes rolling to the back of his head and he was falling backwards I react on pure instinct and jumped to hold him before he hit the concrete he turned and braced his fall by holding the ground in push-up position,at the same time my hand was holding the back of his hoodie in a tight grip.

"Now! nice reflexes!" I turned to see Nelson and King. Because of Mr.  annoying here I missed the rest of their weird conversation, I look beside Nelson and King is mad at something,his lips was in a firm line and his eyes was trained to were I was  holding Jordan's hoodie. I drag my eyes back to Jordan and he is smiling at me,I should wipe off that smile. I use my foot lightly to press his back so that be can lie  on his belly,the problem is I might have used more force than I perceived because I hear the sound of  forehead connecting with the ground... Hard.

" Ouch!"

"Oh shit!" I throw my books and kneel down fast,I lift his head to see a huge bruise forming. "Omg Jordan, I'm sorry I didn't mean to push that hard. He sits on his butt and clutched his head,where it was not even injured, now he was being plain dramatic.

" You've really finished me now Kimberly,I will never live to see my children. Why do you hate me so... " SMACK!!

" Shit! Jordan will you stop making me hurt you." I hear laughter. I turn to see King and Nelson laughing their asses off, they might as well be rolling on the ground. I can't understand them, I just manhandled their friend twice and they are dying of laughter. I quickly stood and gave Jordan my arm to help him up, I saw a hint of smile, is he a masochist or something? I ignore that thought and  touch Jordan's forehead to see the extent of the damage.

I turn to see King angry again with fist tight, and another hand holding my books with pen,when did he pick those. He was almost shaking with anger, as if he was reigning his temper. This guys emotions seriously give me whiplash.

" Don't worry about him Kimberly, Jordan will be okay." Nelson tells me but he was avoiding eye contact.

"Why hasn't the warning bell rung yet?" I asked no one in particular.

" The class is already in progress Sugar, With what has been going on here you did not hear the bells." King told me in his deep, masculine voice. I try so hard to push down the blush that is must have reached my hears because of what he just called me, that plus his voice were my undoing. I quickly turn to avoid looking at him because it only makes me blush harder only to see the hallway completely empty.

"Crap!" I quickly go to take my books from him but when our fingers touch I felt like a zap of electricity went through me. I jumped back in surprise. "What was that?" King and
Nelson just smiled knowingly but Jordan seems clueless like me, then realization dawned at him.

"OMG, This is so fuckin amazing. I can't believe it. This is the best..."

" Shut up!" King snapped immediately silencing him . The guy could easily be a king, with his impressive body and height, plus that booming commanding voice, everyone could follow his rules in a heartbeat.Nelson was the hugest guy I have ever seen but King was easily a few inches taller than him. Jordan's mouth seem to clamp shut but he gave me a friendly smile, I looked at him curiously but he just shrug while still smiling.

I looked back at king, " May I?" He gave a nod, maybe he thought I want my books back but I walked slowly towards him and raised my arm with index finger pointing toward his arm. He just looked at me, not saying anything. When I touched him I felt a hum,like that of a refrigerator, it was a soothing feeling and I resisted the urge to lean into him, he felt like my safe heaven.

With all the weird things that have been happening to me this did not surprise me as much as it should. I step back and take my books from him, weird things are happening but I don't have time to think about it now. I turn to apologize to Jordan one more time but the bruise was gone. Now this was getting too much for me to handle. I sidestepped him and hurried to class.
