2 - Games and trips

It was now Monday basically the worst day, I had already hand in my permission slip and now headed to lunch.

Both my friends weren't here today lucky me.. And it happen that i couldn't forget what happen at the forest that day let's hope they didn't see me.

I sat at my original spot facing towards the popular table, they always came in 10 mins late for lunch no one knows why.

Their conversation that day guess that Ava is his distraction away from any other girls, I took out my hot Cheetos out of my bag as well my coke, and waited for them to come my table was close enough to listen to their conversations.

As I said they came in 10 minutes later, and sat at the table and ready to hear some gossips.

Sorry I can't mind my own business.

"Have you found it" one of the boys at the table said.

What it?

"It ran away, fuck sake" he sighed.

Shit there talking about me.

And am not a it.

"Have you seen the head colour?" Damien said.

"It was black" making me spit out my coke.

I tried to cover my mouth but just ended going through my nose. Ouch

They were now looking at me, making me choke on my soda.

Okay, I was acting suspicious I hurried and grab some tissues in my bag and wiped off the table.

"What a freak" Ava said

Yea for someone who's only-

Never mind.

I rolled my eyes and and made my way to the cafeteria doors just as I was about to exit, I slipped on some water and face planted

Deja vu.

I dusted my self and turned to the table to see laughters and whispers and I looked at miles just see his eyes was widened, shit he probably notice.

I hurried through the doors and walked fast through the hallways for my next class "ah, your early Luke could put these papers on the desks." Mrs. miller said.

The bell rang and some people were coming including miles... I handed the papers one by one when everyone was seated at there desk.

The last one was miles. I Hesitated for a sec and walked to his desk just a quick stop right?..

Just don't look suspicious Luke.

He saw me hesitated but said nothing, I set him his paper down then he looked at me with his green eyes.

I swear it was hard for me walk away but he probably thinks am a creep, the teacher was setting up her projector so I took the sign that she's ready and walked back to my seat.

"Before I start todays lesson, remember tomorrow is the trip so am letting you off early to get everything ready, make sure you handed in your permission slip"

We had only 30 mins then, so I wrote down everything and annotated, I still could feel his eyes behind me but I was resisting not to look at him back.

——————

Just as mrs. Miller said we were let off early some stayed back to hang out and some went home just like me.

The parking lot was surprisingly almost empty, it was just miles car is there and if miles car is there then their here.

the other teachers probably let off some students earlier than us mins later I heard talking and they were right behind me so I hurried down the stairs and stepped on the ground just for my foot to twist for a sec. Why does this always happen?

"FUCKK" I shouted, here I was limping towards my car, just hearing there  laugher making me want to snap their heads.

"Clothes" mom said.

"Check" for the million times.

"Toothbrush"

"Check"

"Flashlight"

"Check."

"Ok, I need to get something I will meet you in the car." Then she waved me off to run upstairs.

As I step outside it was perfect, The breeze was the right temperature I hopped in the backseat and set my bag next to me as I waited on mom.

The car ride was short since my school was 10 mins away, mom gave me a kiss on the cheeks and drive away to get to work.

We were ordered to head into the cafeteria to wait for a good 30 mins.

Avery and Sarah was already there and I sat next to them.

They were talking about makeup and hairstyles, then suddenly we were interrupted by loud whispering.

"HEY, COME ON" a random girl shouted in our ears.

"What the fuck" covering my ears.

"Oh shit" she shook my shoulders.

"We're definitely going over there" she pointed over where miles and his group sat.

"Nope"

"Yes" they both said in unison.

They both dragged me where people was already grouping tables together and I happen to sit right in front of miles.

"Ok... let's see, what about never have I ever"

Why.

Surprisingly everyone agreed to this bullshit game but anyways since I won't be tolerating them for a week then so be it.

"ok ok i.. got one!" Ava shouted.

"Never have I ever sneak out without telling your parents"

I refuse to put down a finger but Avery forced me to do it.

"Hmm.. never have I ever spied on anyone" Damien looked at anyone who was suspicious.

And I was definitely not putting my finger down.

As people kept putting fingers down all I could focused was on is miles, he was staring at his phone as usual, I guess I was staring too long cause his eyes were staring right back at me.

Embarrassing..

"YOUR TURN MILES" Ava said making him snap out of his daze.

"fuck..." he mumbled under his breath "uh...never have I ever been stalked"

Seriously Why are they still coming after me.

And of course I didn't put a finger down all I did was look anywhere but him.

——-

Everyone was now packing to go their assigned buses and thank god I wore comfy clothes cause it's was gonna be a 7 hours trip and guess what assigned seats, i know right.

As I made my way through the hallway in the bus I sat at my assigned seats.

And guess who's seating with me.

Miles fucking Dawson.

"omg.. omg" I mumbled under my breath.

"What was that" he said as he sat next to me.

"Nothing"

"I thought you said..."

"I-I said ouch"

"Hmm" he said as he plugged in his earbuds.

30mins into this bus ride our legs kept on touching, but he wasn't bothered all he does was focus on his phone scrolling through Spotify, and I couldn't stop myself from focusing on his phone. He was now in a group chat and I happen to read their messages until one caught my attention.

I think that freak is looking at your phone.

1: is to pretend to sleep

2: accept my defeat.

3: have you seen his hands? shit..

......

I chose number 1 and closed my eyes I could feel he shifted from his phone to my face and all I heard was little chuckle before I heard his keyboard typing again.

And that's when I blacked out.
