Can't Stay Away

How Was School?

~Nyla~

As soon as I stepped out of the building I remembered I didn't have a ride home. It wasn't cold outside, matter of fact I could already feel myself sweating from the heat. I silently thanked God that my house was only a couple blocks away because if it wasn't I'd probably die of a heat stroke. I slipped off my jacket and wrapped it around my waist. With one last look at hell, I mean school, I began to walk towards the entrance of the school parking lot. Before I could even step off of school grounds I heard someone yell my name. I swear if I turned around and saw either Natalie or Tyler someone was going to die. And not of a heat stroke either. Instead of my worst enemies, I saw a cute boy with glasses and a pearly white smile.

"Hey, Nyla wait up!" before he could catch up with me he suddenly tripped. "Well that wasn't supposed to happen." He grunted as he picked himself up off of the ground and jumped upright.

"Pretend you didn't see that. Anyway you are Nyla right, Tyler's ex?"

And just like that the little smirk I had on my face from his adorable little mishap turned into a full blown scowl.

"Don't remind me." I scared myself from the hatred and anger in my voice. My tone seemed to catch the boys attention and he looked curious yet slightly alarmed.

"Why do you care anyway?"

"I don't! I was just wondering because you're name is spreading around school like a wild fire. Apparently you attacked Natalie Sykes because she touched you. She twisted her ankle ya know."

I stood there in complete shock. She's telling people I attacked her! She only twisted her ankle, if I had really attacked her she'd be in a wheelchair.   I bet Tyler isn't making it any better either. They're so infuriating. Before I had a chance to run back into the building and really give her something to talk about, the kid stopped me. Maybe it was the crazed look in my eye or my balled up fists, but he knew I was out for blood.

"Chill, you were leaving right? Need a ride? Come on I'll give you a ride." And with that simple gesture, the cute kid with glasses saved two lives today, he deserves a medal.

On the way to me house, I found out that his name was Cayden and he was in a grade ahead of me. Apparently he lived right down the street from me and had just moved in a couple months ago. Upon pulling up to my house I spotted my mom standing in the drive way with her hands on her hips. I gulped and looked to Cayden for help.

"We could go back to school, you know if you aren't going to commit murder." He suggested with a shrug. "No promises." But my mom's scrutinizing gaze was enough motivation for me to jump out of the car. Surprisingly Cayden jumped out after me. My mom looked so angry if looks could kill my funeral would be tomorrow.

"How was school Nyla?"

AN: Cayden is Dylan O'Brien bc Dylan O'Brien is bae. Just sayin.
