Deafening Silence

Deafening Silence - Chapter 6 - Car rides

Calla's pov

I don't know what possessed me into agreeing to go to school with Hunter. My thoughts as I slipped into the car that his friends were waiting, impatiently in- weren't really so much as thoughts than prays that they were not going to kidnap me.

Sliding over so I'm able to touch the window on the right side, Hunter gets in after me.

"Calm down asshole- we're not gonna be late." He muttered under his breath.

Chris shot him a disgruntled look, and I held back a giggle.

I turned to Hunter and gave him a pointed look.

"Ok I know I promised an explanation, and you'll get one- but you might think I'm lying."  

I raised my eyebrow, but motioned for him to continue. 

"Okay," he took a deep breath and started, “so Sara came up to us this morning and asked us a favor-" he paused and glanced at me. I nodded my head at him and he kept going."- she asked us to look after you."

I was speechless- Speechless and pissed.

"I can take care of myself." I snapped quietly, glaring at him.

He raised his hands in sigh of surrender, "Hey! Don't snap at me! She’s the one that told us, to look after you."

I huffed and turned to look out the window, "I can take care of myself." I repeated quietly.

Watching the scenery fly pass us, I fished my headphones, and iPod out of my pockets and put it on shuffle- ignoring everyone else in the car- silently singing along to Low Life.

I Know the feeling....

Hunter's pov

She tuned us out and listened to her iPod. When we got to school I was hoping that she would ask us to show her to the office or to her classes- but instead she jumped out of the car before it even came to a complete stop.

Jerking to a stop, Chris stepped out of the car and tried calling her back over.

Billy and I slipped out of the car and I sighed, "Don't bother,-" I watched her weave through the crowd, with her head down, and iPod cranked-” - She says she can look after herself."

Billy looked at me incredulously, "And you believed her! She smaller than a toothpick- for Christ sakes she’s gonna get trampled in there!!"

I shrugged and started to walk towards the front doors," It was her choice to turn down our offer- And She'll be fine."

Chris sighed and followed me, "Sara's gonna kill us." He said glumly.

“I know." I breathed Stepping through the large wooden gates to hell.
