Fearless

chapter 7

The bell rang too soon for me. I still had to answer one question of my chemistry exam and I was not sure if I would have enough time.

-         - Come on give me your exams- our teacher said while he got his coat on. I knew I had five more minutes to keep written but I had to take the bus to get home. I didn’t want to loose it.

I finished as fast I as could and gave the exam. I was almost the only one left in class. I looked at my watch as I went to my locker. Shit, it had been ten minutes since the bell had rang.

I left all the books I didn’t in a rush and turned to the exit door. The only problem was that Drew just collided with me when I was about to keep running. Fuck.

I fell on the cold floor of the hall, throwing all my books and papers around the floor. I rolled up my eyes and started getting all back inside my bag.

-         -- Oh charlotte I’m sorry, let me help you.- drew knelled to the ground with me and helped me with my books.  It had been 15 minutes since the bell had rung. I knew I had lost my bus and that I’d have to wait half an hour to the next one.

I was so stressed. The exam, the bus and now I had to deal with Drew. Thoughts of the whole week came to my mind. People chatting about the rare girl. People laughing at the awkward girl. I knew that was only the beginning but I was not sure if I was going to be able to get through it. Again.

A tear rolled down my face and I clean it as fast as I could so that he didn’t notice. We were still on the floor.

-          -Hey are you all right?- he said while i stood. He did too

-          -Yeah, perfectly fine.- I was about to walk to the door and leave him behind, but he grabbed my arm making me stop.

-          -I know you’re not. You can tell me.

-          -Leave me alone drew, your friends could appear and see us and we don’t want that do we?- I pushed my  arm and he left it free.

When I got out I couldn’t believe it. It was raining so much I wasn’t even able to see the street.

And I had to wait 30 minutes for the next bus, which probably would not work due to the bad weather. Great. Best day ever.

The only thing I could do was wait.

I was about to seat down on the floor of the porch, where the floor was dry, when drew got out of the building.

-          -Wow.- he said as he looked at the weather. He looked at me.- probably the bus wont work due to the weather.

-        -  I know- I answered sharply.

-          -Let me drive you home.

What? Had he really said that?

-         - Em…- I was paralyzed but I managed to answer- no thank you. I will wait here till it stops raining.

-          -Come on charlotte we know it wont stop in hours and then you will have to walk home.

He was right…

-         - Allright.

We ran to the parking lot of the high school and got into his car. I was wet when I entered but when he turned on the heating I felt really comfortable. I threw my head back and closed my eyes while he started driving.

-          How did you know I return home by bus? – I asked with my eyes still closed.

-          You always arrive earlier. And the only bus which arrive earlier or later is the one which comes from the periphery. That’s why I know where you life and I haven’t ask you, because there’s only one house outside the village.

Wow that was too much information. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was focused on the road, although it was difficult to see something due to the bad weather.

-          -You’re an…em…obsevative person.

-          -You were going to say I was a stalker- he replied showing his smile

-          -I was not!- I faked his comment had hurted me- okay…maybe I was

He started laughing. It was the sweetest laugh ever. It made me feel better. It was strange.

He turned on the radio and put his own cd. Young volcanoes by fall out boy started. I LOVED FALL OUT BOY

-          I LOVE THIS SONG! – i screamed while i jumped off my seat and turned the volume on so that we could hear it with the pouring rain outside

-          Do you?

-          YES! Its one of my favorite groups and this is absolutely my favorite song- I said while I smiled and sing to the words of the song.

-         - Its mine too. Its so catchy! High five!- he putt he hand in the air and i high fived with him.

We kept singing the whole way to my house although the rain became eavier and it was difficult  to listen to the music.

When it had finished we have already reached my house.

-         - I actually had fun.- I said while I got my bag from the floor of the car.

It kept raining on and on, heavier everytime.

-         - Listen…why don’t you stay here till the storm pass? We both know now its dangerous to drive home.

He doubted but then turned to me and smile.

-          Alright.- he turned of the radio and the car and we run to the porch of my house. It was freezing.

I opened the door and left all the wet stuff on the hall. I looked at my hair on the mirror. It was horrible due to the rain. Fuck. I really didn’t mind but as i hated rain whenever something happened i blamed it.

-          -Nobody is at home?- he asked leaving his coat as me.

-          -No. my mother is working at the hospital. She won’t be back till midnight.

-          -And your father?

-          -He died- it felt awkward to say it but it was the truth.

-          Oh…em…I’m so sorry.- I hated when people did that so I just ignored him and went up the staircase.

He followed me up the staircase and entered my room behind me, although it seemed like he doubted it…it was strange.

I don’t know, I guess it was just my imagination.
