"I see through those silent lies of yours, Liv."

I groan hearing the bell ring, wishing it wasn't already time to go home. I wanna lay in bed for the rest of the day but I also don't wanna go home and have to deal with dad beforehand.
"Hey so-" Adrian's cut off when he goes to say something to me, Lexi being the one interupting him. She gives me a dirty look as I stand and I roll my eyes.
I don't pay attention to whatever it is they're talking about and grab my things, walking out of class to my locker. My ankle is sore now thanks to Lexi, so I practically am limping. More and more things keep being added to me being in pain.
When I close my locker I jump, seeing Divine who's smiling.
"Wanna ride home?" I do, but dad may be home already. I was lucky he didn't do anything the other day when he saw me with Divine and her mom. I shake my head and she frowns. "You sure?" Another nod. "Okay..." We say bye and she hugs me as always, I follow her out of school.
Starting the walk home I regret not taking Divine's offer on the ride home, already just wanting to collapse. I make it to just the main road before hearing a car slowly driving beside the sidewalk and my first instinct is to run, until the window rolls down, revealing Adrian and Danny.
"Oliva, you wanna ride home?" Danny asks eagerly before Adrian can say a word, a bright smile on his face. I almost accept it not even caring about dad anymore, but now Adrian's willing to give me a ride home?
"Ashton's not with us," Adrian tells me, pushing Danny out of the way so I can see him from the driver's side. I'm confused why he'd mention him until I remember lunch, but really it wasn't that big of a deal. I hate that question but he seemed genuine when apologizing.
I hesistate a second more, not wanting to play along with anymore of this since this is more than likely Lexi sending them to continue fucking with me. I don't care anymore, it's a ride home. I should've just gone with Divine though.
I open the back passenger door, shutting it and quickly pulling on the seatbelt. I look up and see in the rearview mirror Adrian smiling at me. "Where do you live?" He asks as he hands me his phone. I quickly type in my address and hand it back.
"So Liv, we're having a halloween party next Saturday," Danny tells me. "Would you like to come?"
I've never been invited to a party or even been to one, and so I so desperately wanna say yes but dad. It's very unlikely it'll be during the day when I may be able to sneak out, so I'm not taking the chances of sneaking out at night at all. I frown, wishing I could just be like other people my age and go to a party.
"You can think about it," he says after I give no response. I nod and force a smile to him, noticing some music playing very quietly-Muse, at least they have good music taste.
The rest of the ride is kind of awkward, just the music playing. I bite the inside of my cheek when Adrian pulls up in front of the house, dad's car being there. Oh well, I knew there'd be a chance of him being home before me as always.
