I'm Not Weird I'm unique

Chapter 8

"Yah. I have yet to meet 'Ace'."

"No. You don't."

"Oooh Yes I do. He sound a like fun to annoy."

"Do not annoy Ace!" Hunter And Charlie shout at the same time.

"Oh. He sounds more and more intriguing."

"No."

"Yes he does. You let me annoy Toby."

"Well the worst Toby can do is cause you physical damage. Ace is a billionaire, he could ruin your life permanently." Hunter's holding back.

"You're holding back."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are. Now why can I annoy Toby and not Ace."

"You should probably stop annoying Toby as well."

"Hunter."

"No. I can't tell you anymore. I only told you that because of your personal safety." He nods sadly.

"Hmmmm."

"Don't be irrational Callie. Don't do anything that will bring their attention your way."

I suck in a deep breath. He said just the same thing.

—flashback—

"Callie. Don't do anything that will bring his attention your way. It's too dangerous." The man warns.

"What do you mean?" I'm confused.

"I mean that you need to keep to yourself. That letter was delivered to your old house. It was delivered to Callie. Don't let anything be delivered to Sara."

I nod. Understanding. I'm Sara now and I can't afford to let them find me. I have to keep myself and my family safe. The rest of my family. Tears threaten to fall and I try to keep them in, failing pathetically. "Lilly, Jonas." I whisper sadly.

The man regards me with compassion. "It wasn't your fault."

"No it is. I froze. I didn't try and do anything." I whisper again.

—flashback end—

"Callie! Callie!" I open my eyes to find Hunter and Charlie staring at me, Charlie's shaking my arm. "Who are Lilly and Jonas, Callie!"

"Erm, They're my." I Stop. Should I tell the truth. I regard Hunter and Charlie quietly. Yes, I will tell them this. "They where my Siblings."

Charlie looks horrified. "Both Your siblings and your parents are dead?"

"Yeah. I lost everyone." I smile sadly.

"Was it a car accident?" Hunter whispers.

"Something like that." I lie. It was nothing like that.

They both nod. "We should probably get to lessons." Charlie says and I nod in response.

"Let's go." I reply. I need something to distract me.

I stare at the empty book in front of me. Desperately trying to block off my thoughts. When the door slams open I barely blink, however what comes next does make me look up.

"Ace. Late already?" I startle, looking up to meet two gorgeous, sea blue eyes staring straight back at me. Ace is here, I'm finally meeting him. I observe him, his eyes are definitely amazing however he has by far better attributes. For example his soft, swoon worthy golden hair, or his rock solid muscles.

"Yup." He replies. His voice is deep and rough. I almost swoon, the key word being almost. Wow. Toby's got competition now. This guy is just as hot, if not hotter.

The teacher sighs, deciding not to reprimand him. "Well take a seat next to Miss Hazel in the back row, we don't have any other spare seats." He points at me and I jump in surprise.

He walks over and as he gets closer I realise something. He is seriously tall. Like seriously tall. Maybe 6:4, or even 6:5. Like I thought that Toby was tall, this guy trumps him.

"Hi." His voice startled me out of my thoughts and I realise that I've been staring. I almost, almost, blush. But then reminding myself that I'm Callie Hazel, and I do not blush, I don't.

"Hi." I reply.

"So what's your name?" He asks curiously.

"Callie."

"Cool. You British?" Why do I recognise his voice? I haven't met him before. I think.

"Yah." He smiles slightly at my response and turns back towards the front.

He doesn't talk to me again, not once. In fact he doesn't even look at me, except from one time when I ask for a pencil. At that he just gave me a blank and looked back down at his work. Huh. Rude person.
