Falling For You by K Lime (leveled readers .txt) 📕

"I hate you!" I scream at him.

"I hate you too you little bitch!" My step dad shouts back at me.

"You're not my real dad. You'll never be half the man he was!"

Her step dad stands from where he is sitting on the couch and in three long strides has her pinned against the wall. He slaps her hard causing her to see stars before grabbing her jaw forcing her to look at him.

"I may not be your real father, but that's not my problem. My problem right now would be paying for my wife's funeral and taking care of her brat child. Get your ass into your room and do your God damn homework before you piss me off." He threatens looking at her ferociously.

He steps back and she holds her cheek looking at him before running off to her room. This was the first time he had ever hit her. Things had never been pleasant between them but he had never hit her before.

She throws herself onto her bed and begins to cry. She missed her mom, but most of all, she wished that she had married somebody nicer. She grabs her Ipod and turns on her music before crying herself to sleep again.

Two Years Later

Krissy groans as she hears her alarm clock beeping at her. She slaps the off button and looks at the time before getting up and walking into her bathroom. She slowly slides out of her clothes and looks at herself in the mirror. She wasn't anywhere near perfect, in fact, she didn't consider herself very pretty at all. She had brown curly hair that hung to her hips that she straightened, brown eyes, and 34C chest. Now most guys looked at her and thought her face was beautiful but most of them were drawn to her chest and her ass. She wasn't exactly tall but that didn't matter. She was rather fond of her 5'0 frame.

She sighs and turns on the shower and stepping into the hot water. She washes her hair and her body before shutting off the water and grabbing a towel. Her step dad yells at her to hurry up from downstairs so she quickly blow-dries and straightens her hair before putting on clothes for the day. She puts on a black strapless dress that comes to mid thigh. The top part is silk and has a pink sash running just under her chest that ties in a large bow at the back. The dress under that line is a layer of black fabric that has a poof at the bottom covered by a layer of pink silk and finally a layer of black mesh. It looks really cute on her and she slips on a pair of black pantyhose and her black slip on shoes.

Grabbing her eye liner, she does a quick fix and grabs her bag for school. She rushes down the stairs to find her step dad looking at her.

"Coat?"

"I have a wrap." She answers putting on the little black short sleeved half jacket.

"Better. Grab your breakfast and let's go."

She walks into the kitchen to find her bagel fixed on the counter. Some days, his temper was to reckon with, but ever since she had stopped standing up to him, he stopped hitting her. It had only taken until almost her 17th birthday, speaking of which had just been two weeks ago.

She hurriedly eats her bagel and runs up the stairs to brush her teeth.

"Ready now?"

"Yep."

Her step dad picks up his keys and they walk out to his blue ford fusion. She tosses her bag into the back and slides into the front passenger seat while he starts the engine. They put on their seat belts and he backs out of the driveway. The drive to school was only 10 minutes, she could walk if she had to, but since it was on his way to work, he insisted on taking her.

They arrive at the school a few minutes later and she grabs her bag from the back seat.

"Hey Krissy wait."

"Yea Nelson?"

"You're never gonna call me dad are you?" He sighs looking at her.

"I do sometimes."

"I know. Have a good day. I'll see you when I get home. Need anything you call alright?"

"Alright. You have a good day too."

She hops out of the car and heads across the courtyard into the double doors that lead to the cafeteria. First days were never fun, but news was spreading that they had a new Gym teacher which was hopefully a good thing. The last guy had always tried to look at the girls when they were doing his "stretches." It was just plain weird.

She looks for her friends as she walks in and finding none, she sits at an empty table at the back to wait. Not long after, her friend Daniel walks up and sits beside her.

"Hey Krissy."

"Hey Dannyboy. What's up?"

"Not much. You gotten your sched yet?"

"Oh yea. Why?"

"Do we have any classes together?"

"Uh wait." She reaches down and grabs her schedule from her bag and compares them.

"Oh crap yea. We have gym together. And health. Ooh and english."

"I wonder who the new teacher is."

"I hope it's not a perv."

"Yea. I know how you feel that guy was creepy."

"Hey guys." Matt says as he sits down on the other side of Krissy.

"Hey Matthew." Krissy says looking at her ex before returning to Daniel.

"Still like this huh?"

"Yep." Matt answers Daniel.

"Well dude, what can I say, ya'll fought too much.

"We did." Krissy and Matt both answer before laughing and hugging each other.

"Gosh I missed you. How was summer?"

"Lame. I worked so hard for my tan, and now i lose it."

"Aw it's alright at least you didn't have to work all summer."

"Ha you work?" She asks him.

"Yea as in house work and crap."

"Hey now guys, I have an actual job, i work at a business, you guys can't beat that."

"Oh yea? Try working on a farm hauling hay and messing with horses. I mean horses no problem, driving no problem, pushing hay off a trailer no problem, Krissy driving with a trailer full of hay, big problem." She laughs looking at him.

"Wow you went to your uncle's farm?"

"Yep awful."

"I can see that."

"Hey so Krissy what's your schedule?"

She hands Matt her and Daniel's schedules before looking up to see Ms. Bitch walking towards them.

"We all have Gym and Health together, English too." Matt says before passing them back.

"Yea and here comes the devil."

Ms. Bitch walks over and leans on the table batting her eyes at Matt.

"Hey Matt, we were wondering if you wanted to come hang out with us at our table at lunch?" She offers looking at him seductively licking her lips.

"Ah no thank you, I have other places to be."

"Whatever loser." She storms off angrily with her friend following behind her.

"That was interesting." Daniel says looking at the other two with a smirk.

"Yea Matt, she's so into you, just go get with her and leave."

"No. I may be nice looking, but I got myself a girl back in my hometown."

"So you took her back?"

"We're hoping for it to work this time."

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

Daniel frowned slightly. Matt loved Krissy and Krissy loved Matt, they desperately wanted to be together but could never get things to settle down in the arguing. He looks at Matt and he looks back with the sad look. Krissy doesn't seem to notice.

"Hey Matt?"

"Yes Krissy?"

"What if i said i love you?"

"Id say i love you too."

"Do you?"

"Yes."

"I love you too."

"I know dear."

He hugs her tightly and kisses her forehead. She starts to cry and he knows exactly why. She wanted him to be her mate so badly that she often thought about killing herself. They had decided to try and take it as just friends but that wasnt going very well. They both cried and pleaded with whatever they could think of as a higher power to let them be mates, it never worked.

"Come on Krissy don't cry you'll find somebody baby. Somebody you love more than me who you'll never leave."

"But i want it to be you."

"i know babe. Come on wipe those tears away we have gym to go to."

The bell rings and the group heads off into the first class of the day. Gym. The gym had been redone over the summer and the floor had duct tape Xs on the floor with each student's last name on it. Great, they were separated by names. She looks at Matt and Daniel before going over to her X in the very first line in the very first place. Sometimes, her last name was horrid.

There were a few giggles around the room mainly from the girls and guys who hated her but she didn't care. She stood on her X staring down at the Abandonato written on it. Whoever had written it had very elegant handwriting.

Just as she thought that, the new Gym teacher walks out of the office next to her. The room is suddenly filled with gasps from the guys and she looks up to see the man standing in front of her.

"Sheamus." She says surprised looking up at the man towering before her.

"Ms. Abandonato?" He asks looking down at her.

"I um was just surprised that you are at our school..."

"Don't be. I quit wrestling and well, here I am." He walks past her and grabs a clip board from a chair on the far wall.

She looks behind her at Matt and Daniel to see them looking at her with that is this real look. Carefully, she looks at the man walking back towards her. He was 6'4, 267 lbs, and drop dead gorgeous. His hair was fiery red and his eyes the clearest blue she had ever seen

'Krissy that's your teacher stop oggling him like a piece of meat!' She mentally screams at herself.

'I've had a crush on him since I first saw him wrestle he is amazing!' She yells back at her conscious in her head.

The voice in her head goes away and she watches as Sheamus places the chair down a few feet before her and sits down.

"Alright class, I'm going to call
