Free Rewriting Destiny (Forsaken Sinners MC #1) by Shelly Morgan

on the person sitting across from me.
    I don’t think they have met each other yet, so I decide to introduce them. “Jaxon, this is Gunnar. He moved here from Florida. Gunnar, this is Jaxon. He’s a senior as well.”
    After my awkward introduction, they still stare at each other, almost like they’re sizing each other up. Like I said, I’m new to this whole relationship thing, but if I didn’t know better I would say that Gunnar thinks Jaxon is stepping on his territory. I’ll have to tell him later when we’re alone that he doesn’t have to worry about anyone trying to steal me away from him. I’ve been going to this school all my life and no one has ever shown any interest in me until he came along.
    After a few more tense moments between the two, they finally seem to loosen up. “Hey, man, nice to meet you,” Gunnar says. Then he sits down next to me and pulls me closer against him.
    “Yeah, you too,” Jaxon replies, as he looks at Gunnar and me like he’s trying to figure us out. “Uh, how do you guys know each other if you’re new here?”
    Before I can answer him, Gunnar gives a small laugh. “We met about a week ago at a party out by the lake. I saw her and decided I better make my move. I wasn’t sure if she was with anyone, but figured if she was, I would have to change that and claim her as mine. And have I told you lately how glad I am that I did, babe?” He finishes by looking down at me with a smile on his face.
    I don’t like the way this conversation is going, but I don’t know if this is a normal thing for a guy to do when he sees another guy talking to his girlfriend. I wish I could ask Zane, but that's not going to happen. And I especially don’t like the way Gunnar is staking a claim on me, like I’m a possession. I’ve seen plenty of guys go caveman on girls before, and it has never been something I thought I would want. Turns out, I was right. It makes me go from feeling wanted and cared for to ashamed and pissed off. I’ll definitely be having a talk with him sooner rather than later. I don’t want to become one of those girls that lets a guy control her; I’ve heard how relationships like that end. It starts off almost innocent, like this seems now, then turns controlling and in most cases becomes violent. There is no way I will let that happen to me.
    Instead of answering, I give him a little smile and finish my sandwich. Lunch is almost over, and I want to get to my next class. “Well, I better get going. I’ll see you later,” I say as I stand.
    He grabs my hand and stands with me. “What class do you have now?” he asks, pulling me closer to him.
    “Uh, I think I have Government,” I tell him. This day seems to be going from bad to worse. I just want to get to my next class so I can be over and done with this.
    “I’ve got English with Ms. Liner, I think. Then I’ve got a free period, so if you want to skip out early, come find me,” he says with a wink. I have no clue whether he is joking or not, but decide to not comment on it.
    “Okay, well, I’ll see you later. Nice talking with you, Jaxon,” I throw over Gunnar’s shoulder and walk toward the door to head back inside. But again, before I can get too far, Gunnar wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back to him. I’m so surprised that I slam into his chest. He doesn’t give me any time to recover before he grabs my face and kisses me. I’m too shocked to kiss him back, but he soon lets me go and walks away. I think I may start taking my lunch in the art room like I used to do before Zane got me to start sitting with him. At least that way I would be able to eat in peace and not have to worry about getting in the middle of a pissing contest that I have no interest being involved in. Maybe this whole relationship deal isn’t for me, or maybe just not with Gunnar. I need time to think this through.
    My last two periods are both in the art room. I have a free period, and instead of taking a study
