Always and Forever

Whispered Converstations

Speaking of Hunter, I could hear him on the phone telling me to hurry up and not talk to Jason.

"So, what's up?" He questioned.

"Nothing really, I was just hoping to know where exactly I am?"

"This is Ocean Palm Beach." The second he said that Hunter hung up on me.

"Thanks" I said dismissively but I guess he didn't get the hint as he just stood there smiling at me. It was starting to make me feel uncomfortable.

Five minutes later, I was sliding down my seat slowly and Jason was still smiling at me.

Turns out I wasn't that lost because luckily, just then Hunter came running...knocking Jason out of the way.

"Is he alright?" I questioned trying to look out my window but before I could Hunter pushed me into the passenger side and said.

"I'm driving."

Ok?

The whole drive to school was filled with silence, it wasn't awkward not at all. It was surprisingly really comfortable.

Apparently I wasn't lost at all, they just built a new building that looked completely alien to my town so it was merely a misunderstanding. I'm not that incompetent.

I was only actually around five minutes away from school.

I opened my mouth to ask him how he got to Ocean Palm Beach but he seemed to already know I was going to ask that.

"I walked." He said.

No, he ran and you saw!

"Ok." I muttered

He snapped his head towards me and looked bewildered.

"What?" I questioned

"Is that all? You're not going to say anything else?"

I just shrugged. He looked a little disappointed but then he shrugged and said,

"Whatever."

We were now sitting in the car waiting.

Waiting for what exatly? I don't know

That's it!

"Hunter, what are we doi-" He cut me of with a 'shh' and slapped his hand on my mouth.

Ouch.

Once he let go I questioned him,
"Why are we waiting here?"

"Just thought I saw something" He muttered as he got out of my car.

I also stepped out the car.

"Do you want a ride after school? you know seeing as you don't have yo-" I stppped talking once I realised hunter wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Hunter?" I questioned as I looked around searching for him. He must have been in a hurry.

As I made my way into the school I couldn't help but let my thoughts run wild.

How did Hunter and Nathan know each other? The questions been bugging me ever since the two met each other. Nathans always been the type to hang out with the jocks and popular group he said so himself that he doesnt like to associate himself with the 'bad boys' of the school. I always thought it was because he was scared of them but somehow I think it runs deeper than that. So seeing them two talking to each other right now came as quite a shock to me. Looks like Nathan finished his tests early.

They didn't realise I was there yet so they kept going with their somewhat private conversation. I could hear snipets of it as I made my way towards them.

They were so engrossed in their conversation, they still hadn't noticed me.

"-hat are you? A stalker?" I heard Nathan say.

Hunter scoffed "Look who's talking."

"I was just seeing if she- " Just before Nathan could finish his sentence they both spotted me walking towards them.

"Hey guys" I said cautiously

"What's going on?" I continued.

Hunter ran a hand down his face and sighed as Nathan looked panicked.

"Nothing, just catching up" Nathan spoke. I could clearly hear the lie in his voice and I'm pretty sure he knew that.

"Really?" I questioned with my eyebrows raised.

"Yes. Really." This time it was Hunter who spoke. Wow, he was all of a sudden so cranky.

I decided to not push them into telling me what was going on. Haven't you realised that I never push?

It's because I'm nice... And also maybe because Hunter scares me but mostly because I'm nice.

"How do you guys know each other?" I questioned instead.

"The garage," Nathan answered a little too quickly.

"Before I left I was working at the garage and Hunter just so happened to work there."

Nathan sounded pretty confident so I couldn't tell if he was lying or not but I do know that there is a lot more he's hiding from me.

Oh and I know that Nathan knows hardly anything about the structure and mechanical elements of cars. Despite his intensive knowledge on the latest and best models.

There was no way he would work in a garage fixing cars. Unless he was the receptionist which I highly doubt.
