Blessing in disguise

I get into the car and she puts her phone down , I'm assuming she's already found someone to play with , like she always does , ending up ruining my plans each time.

"How was ur day sweetheart?" She interrupts my thoughts with her deep ish voice , and I'm brought back to her chocolate brown eyes staring at me waiting for an answer. "It was fine, I made a friend ," I say avoiding eye contact as much as I can. "I think" I continue.

"You think?" She laughs and I roll my eyes.
"Yeah. I think. You know why ? Because it's always about you. I've been bullied my whole life and haven't gotten the chance to make friends because we moved each time." I bark.

I need to calm down. I get my anger issues from my dad and it's too much , I lose it so bad sometimes I'm able to break anything and anywhere. "Get out of the car. Now." She says through her teeth and when I look at her hands on the steering wheel her knuckles are white from gripping it too right.

Her temper is just like mine no doubt there. I roll my eyes again and go to open the door when she stops me. "Come home when you've calmed down" she growls.

I get out of the car and feel her eyes on me the whole time. The parking lot of the school is still full of students sat at every corner like a herd of sheep and she pulls out of the parking lot. When I turn around to go walk over to the pathway I feel someone grabbing my arm and I feel like snapping again.

Turning to face whoever grabbed me I see Adam and my heart drops again. What is it about him that makes me feel like this ? "What do u want." I say in more of a statement than a question. "Chill damn petty" he says with a smirk.

I scoff. "Petty?" I cross my arms on my chest without realising I pushed up my D cups chest. His eyes dart down and he puts his perfect bottom lip between his teeth. "Yeah ..." he trails off and focuses back on my blue eyes. "Petty, problem?" My god. "Just go away"

I laugh because he can't see me being vulnerable and I am. I always am I try to hide it as best I can. Especially now I had a fight with my mother I'm annoyed and don't want to snap at someone innocent. Not that he is.

"Petty it turns out we are neighbours, I just saw your mom kicked you out of the car which made me laugh," he stops and laughs his ass off like it's the most hilarious thing he's ever heard. I raise a brow at him. We are neighbours ? Oh my god. No.

He finally stops laughing and continues. "Anyway , let me give u a ride home" I need to get home before it gets dark , but Is he the only option?
I don't think much of my answer before replying.

"Ok but you're bringing me home safely." I say and walk away but I stop when I realise I don't know which car is his. "And please drive slow , I'm dreading going home" I face him and he guides me toward his car.

When we to it he's parked it near the entrance of the school , maybe because he's lazy and doesn't want to walk which same. His car is a beautiful black matte Range Rover that has tinted windows. Suites him I guess. But the car is huge and rich. How much money does this kid have?
