Ready or Not

Chapter 3

Waits for the world...

Everything seems so dull and blurry to me. My eyes felt like they were pushed behind some huge wall or something. My legs felt like they weigh a ton and my head hurts for no good reason.

"A-a-are you a-al-alright, Carrie?" Fin asked as she helped me place my stuff on my locker but honestly, it was more on dumping rather than placing. I just threw everything inside and all the notebooks that I needed for the next periods. I don't actually care if I would have a hard time getting my stuff between classes.

"I'm fine, just tired and all" I said while trying to hold back a yawn. Fin nodded and continued helping me.

Since last night, I barely slept a blink. All I could think about was the scary and bulky dude in the leather rocker type of clothing who was just about ready to rape me and the fact that Caden freaking Farrow comforted me. Me, the shy one and Him, the jerky one. Let me repeat it, the "jerky" one.

But I'm not actually sure if he was the one who comforted me. It's not possible.

Speaking of the DEVIL, here he comes right now. His dark hair was perfectly styled on his chiseled feature and his peircing blue eyes were still... you know... peircing! He seems as gorgeous as usual.

When he passed my locker, I honestly thought that I caught him glancing at me for a few seconds. It seemed weird but I brushed it off.

"W-wa-why is Ca-ca-caden g-gla-glancing at you?" Fin asked. So it wasn't a thought at all. Maybe he did glance at me but for the reasons of last night. If he was the one.

If I were him, I would too glance. Being raped was something no one can forget but since I'm not sure, It might just be an accidental glance at me.

It pains me too think or say this but I should thank him and be grateful to him even if he was a jerk. He did help me.

Without any thought at all, I stood in front of him before he could take another step, he then turned into a swift stop.

"Why did I do that!" I thought as I fidgeted for the words to say.

I looked at him and opened my mouth, wanting to say something. I'm so curious if he was the one. I am tempted to ask him. What if it wasn't him I would just be embarassed again. Damn it! why do I have to be so shy?

I glanced at him from under my eye lashes. He looked like he was about to say something too until Regina George 2 a.k.a Annie Sanders squealed his name from behind us.

"CADEN!" Annie shouted with her bimbo squad right on her heels. Her skirt wefe flopping up and down and I could see her lacy panties under it. Guys were staring at it and I felt like barfing at their faces. "I was just about to call you but I found you. It soo a conplete coincidence. We both are really made for each other then. That settles it! We should both get married after college. Like totally!" Annie wrung her arm around Caden and pulled him in for a passionate lip lock.

I could not say kiss because I would be lying, Annie looked like she was about to eat Caden's face away, no offense! When they finally pulled away from each other, Annie finally noticed me but rather than a friendly smile, a dark and unhumane glare spread across her tanned features.

"What is this nerd doing here?" Annie's eyes sneered at me. "I didn't actually know you hang out with nerds nowadays babe. That is soo totally uncool."

"Calfie was just asking me something. I wasn't sure what it was cause I barely heard anything" Caden said. For your information smartass, my name is Carrie not Calfie.

"Babe, let's go to my locker before classes would start and if we have time, let's stop by the janitor's closet too do that..." Annie giggled and wrung her fingers on his.
