Chapter 37: Good Boy

My mouth opened and closed once again as he inched even closer to me. His scent was so thick right now, filling up my entire lungs as he backed me into the nearest wall.
For a fleeting moment, my mind went back to my initiation night, whereby I had been so sure that I smelled this scent. But, I couldn’t dwell on that thought for long before his fingers were tilting my head upwards till I had no choice but to stare right into his eyes.
I gulped emptily while my heart raced super fast. I began to curse my luck internally, because if I had listened to Elio and waited for him to finish so we could exit the school together, then I wasn’t sure if I’d be in this situation right now.
I’ve been avoiding Blaze ever since our last encounter in the bathroom which had left me feeling extremely traumatized. Especially after the conversation I had with Taylor and Josh that evening and they had explained what it means for Blaze to leave his scent on me like he had done.
"So unreal." His voice was gravelly low as he spoke, eyes focused on my face and a shiver slid down my spine as his cold fingers tilted my jaw upwards even more.
I gripped the hem of my shirt with my hands because I had no idea of what to do with them.
What I wanted to do right now, was to tear out of Blaze’s grip and run in the opposite direction right now. But somehow, I felt rooted to the spot, like he was pinning me in place with an invisible hold.
His hold on my chin was extremely light, he wasn’t even using more than two fingers, yet it felt like he had me caged with rods.
My heart was pounding hard against my ribs and in that moment, the image of him strangling that student minutes ago flashed at the back of my mind and I found myself stuttering even more.
Blaze was quiet, the silence stretched out between us. He continued to stare down at me, eyes sliding over every spot of my face.
