Playing Hero

Chapter 4

As school ended I spotted Adrian - it wasn't like I was stalking him the minute class finished - walking to what I think is his house. Catching up to him I patted his back trying to get his attention. He turned around but upon seeing me he narrowed his eyes and turned around continuing his walk.

Slightly offended I walked with him, '' you know it's rude to ignore people, especially if they're trying to befriend your lonely self''.

I saw him roll his eyes but not answering me.

Determined to get him to talk I continued:'' so you also walk home? Me too but sometimes my best friend Stephanie takes me home afterschool. But that will end soon because I'm getting my driver's license soon. I failed so many times I can't even remember how many I did. What about you? Getting a car anytime soon?''

I watched him hoping in god's name that he'll answer. However, the reaction I got was nothing near what I expected.Something flashed in his eyes and he abruptly faced me his eyes held so much anger I think I would have wet myself.

'' Leave me the fuck alone'' he said dangerously and continued walking.

I stood at the middle of the sidewalk complementing whether I should be happy that I made him talk or angry that his first words to me were rude. I shrugged it off and continued my walk home.

'' Hey, babe'', some drunken guy came up to me wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I could smell the alcohol from him.

Ughhh, disgusting.

'' Get off of me asshole''. Pushing him away.

Currently I am at Jacob's party and my so called loyal friend ditched me for the host of this stupid party.
Having enough of this party I texted Steph that I'm leaving and not to worry about me. Which I really doubt will even cross her mind. Now that she is with her biggest crush.

Stepping out I started walking the long way home. It's already 9 o'clock so I hope I would be there in half an hour.
About 10 minutes later I turned down a street and found a slumped figure sitting on the sidewalk with his head resting on his knees; the person seemed to be breathing heavily as his back kept on going up and down at a rapid pace.
Worried I approached the person, hoping he was not some psychotic person who would kidnap me. Although, all my fears halted because upon tapping the persons shoulder he revealed his face.

"Adrian!!"
