Unpredictable

Chapter 11: Only A Dream

Vanessa's P.O.V

It was only a ten minute walk to Luke's house. Tarra and I were just walking down the street, it was still really light outside considering it was almost seven. We were just talking and laughing when there was a sound of someone running behind us. We turned around to find a tall, athletic looking guy. He looked familiar but I couldn't put a finger on it. I thought he would just run right past us but he stopped in front of us.

"Hey! Um Vanessa right?" The guy said. He was kind of cute but he also kinda looked like he was on steroids because his arms were huge.

"Uh yeah. You are? Why was he talking to me? Boys are so confusing.

"I'm Cater, we go to the same school." He says. Ohhh, right Carter. Mr. Popular. No thank you.

Tarra interrupted my thoughts and said "Why are you following us exactly?

"Oh, sorry. I'm not a stalker I just wanted to ask you something! We're neighbors Vanessa, I'd seen you walk out so I tried to catch up with you." He said looking down.

"Well what's up?" I asked. His mouth turned into a cheeky smile and his cute dimples were showing. It was a nice smile but nothing compared to Luke's.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me sometime, like on a date?" He said, scratching the back of his neck. His question took me by surprise because he is such a popular and sporty guys. I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite.

"I have a boyfriend, so no. Sorry." I say. He seemed taken aback by my answer obviously not used to the answer. His smile faded into more of a frown.

"Oh! I didn't know that. Sorry." He says and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly.

"It's okay." I smiled.

"Well we best be going now." Tarra said, hitting my shoulder and pointing towards the direction of Luke's house.

"Yeah! Bye." I say.

"See you later." He said. We carried on walking down the street to Luke's house.

"Well that was odd!" I say, Tarra started laughing. "You're probably the only girl in the whole universe that has said no to Carter."

"Oh, really?" I ask confused.

"Yeah. He has dated almost every girl at our school, ell every girl that is worthy of his standards."

"What do you mean by standards?" I ask, unsure of what she was implying.

"Well normally he goes for the popular, blonde, cheerleader, airhead, slutty, fake, big boobed bitches that swarm our school."

"Should I be offended by that?" I ask.

"Don't worry, you're not any of those things. Maybe he has motivates."

"You're making it sound like he is planning on killing me." I say.

"Oh don't worry, Luke will save you!" She says with a laugh.

"Are you serious? He's going to kill me?" I counldn't believe what I was hearing. I literally thought I was going to get killed by Carter.

"I'm only playing. Who knows what he wanted, but I wouldn't trust him Nessa." Kay, so maybe I am an airhead.

"I was planning on probably never seeing him again so it's alright." I say.

"Oh, but didn't he say you're neighbors? that might be harder then you think." Tarra says.

"Good point. My mums into the whole 'lets invite the neighbors over for dinner to make friends' kind of thing."
