the next day after school
-

"fuck, fuck, fuck." mil whispered to herself. "m'gonna be late, m'gonna be late, m'gonna be late." she sprinted down the hallway, her backpack bouncing against her back. she wasn't really looking at where she was going, so she ended running straight into a boy. she stumbled a little bit and turned around, looking at him.

"god, idiot. watch where you're--" the boy stood and turned around, his face lighting up when he saw mil. however, it wasn't in a happy way, and mil couldn't quite put her finger on it. "hey, baby." the boy purred.

"uuh..." mil said.

"you're a pretty little thing, aren't you?" the boy said, pulling her closer.

"uhm.." mil said, attempting to pull away. "i really have to go..."

"c'mon, baby. just stay for a little bit more." the boy begged. he brought his hand down to her ass and smacked it, causing mil to jump.

"what the hell?" mil heard a voice behind her. "what are you doing?"

"i just got to know your tutoring buddy a little bit better." the boy smirked, sliding a hand up mil's shirt.

"please..." mil said, attempting to pull away. "leave me alone." mil stumbled again when someone shoved the boy, causing him to fall to the ground. she scrambled away and pressed herself up against some lockers so she could see who it was.

dan was there.

he had pushed the boy away from mil, and now he was standing above him, looking down at him with pure disgust.

"fucking disgusting, hunter." he spat. "i knew you were a douchebag, but this is just a new low."

"look, man." hunter said, holding his hands up to his face. "i'm sorry, okay? i was just having a little fun."

"leave her alone." daniel growled, before he linked an arm around mil's shoulders and walked off. in a much softer tone, he said. "c'mon mil...let's go."

"i could have handled it myself, y'know." mil said, looking up at dan.

"i know." dan replied. "but sometimes hunter just needs to be put in his place again."

"well," mil said, "thank you."

"of course." daniel said. "where do you want to do the tutoring?"

"hmm?" mil asked. she hadn't been paying attention, she had just been studying the features of his face.

"like...the library? your house? my house? the diner?"

"how about the diner? then we can eat something while we study." mil said.

"sounds great." dan said. "i'll drive." as they walked out to the car, mil pulled out her phone and texted jax.

mil: i have a date with a certain member of the senior class 😉 don't wait up

jax: text me when you're done ! i want the deets

"after you." dan said, yanking the door open.

"why thank you." she smiled, climbing into his car.
