My heart beats faster and faster as I'm walking away from the car behind me.
"Hey, you" I hear someone yell. That makes me freak out even more.
"Would you stop?" the voice says again. Wait a minute, where have I heard that voice before.
I slow down and turn around to look who it is. The moment I'm met with those same brown eyes I realize it's him. Mr. Late. I look at him with curious eyes. What does he want?
I really don't like talking to strangers. I can feel him stare at me. I study his face. He gorgeous face, a sculpted jaw, sharp cheekbones, black hair and those beautiful brown eyes. How can someone be so attractive? Amelia what are you even saying to yourself?
I can still feel him staring at me. My heart races with anxiety and fear overwhelms my body. I don't like talking to strangers. I keep staring back at him, but I say nothing. Suddenly he opens he keeps talking to me and says, "What's your name, nerd?" he looks at me with curious eyes.
I don't reply to his question. He rolls his eyes and says annoyed. "Get in the car, I will drive you home".
Why on earth would he do that? I was stunned by his words. Should I? It is raining, I could get sick, and I don't have time for that. The other thing is that I don't like strangers and he is a stranger. Just somehow, I feel safe around him.
Suddenly someone interrupts my thoughts
"Earth to nerd, are you there?"
"Do you want a ride or not?"
I come back to reality and look at him. I can see he's waiting for an answer. I just nod and make my way to the passenger seat. I open the door and move my body to inside the care. I put my backpack on the floor and put on my seatbelt.
I don't dare to look at him. I just look out the window. I can feel myself tapping my leg. I do that when I'm uncomfortable or when I am around people I don't know. I feel the car move and we are on our way to my house.
I can sometimes feel him stare at me then he stares back on the road. It's very silent here. He doesn't even have the radio on. Weird If you ask me. Suddenly I get the courage to speak up.
"Amelia" I say and turn my head to look at him. He turns his head around and our eyes meet. I stare back for a few seconds before I turn my head and eyes back out the window.
"What?"
I repeat again "Amelia." "That's my name."
"Ah, I thought for a while your name was nerd." I hear him chuckles.
I don't give him any respond to that. I can feel my heart sting. Yes, people say it a lot and yes it hurts but I never really care that much. Hearing it from him, somehow it stings a little more.
"Reed" I can hear his voice say.
I assume that's his name and I just nod. So, he knows I heard what he said to me.
So, Mr. Late does have a name. Reed. Just because he has a name doesn't mean I won't stop calling him Mr. Late but just in my head. I don't dare to say that to anyone.
My eyes wander on the sky and the trees outside the car window and i just let my thoughts wander when I i suddenly feel a hand on my arm. I turn around and look at the person who is touching my arm. I meet his eyes.
Mr. Late's eyes.
"You are home." He speaks up.
I look outside and I see a familiar house. That's my house. Wait how does he know here I live? I look at him shocked with my mouth open and confused. I never said where I live. Or did I?
He sees my confusion. He smiles and chuckles. "Amelia, you live two blocks from me. I drive past you and your house almost every day." Oh, that explains it. How come I never notice his car if the drives past me every day?
He looks at me and grows awkwardly. "Are you going to get out of my car?" Oh shit right, this is where I live. I slightly blush and feel embarrassed that I never went out of the car.
I take off my seat belt, take my backpack on my lap, find the door handle, open the door and just before I'm about to walk out of the car. I turn around to look at him. "Thank you for the ride" I say quietly and smile at him. He just nodes at me.
I get out of the car and close the car door behind me. As soon as I'm out of the car I see him drive off. I just stare at the car until I can't see it anymore.
I turn around and start walking up to my front door. That was an interesting car ride.
"Reed" I hear myself say. Strange name I thought. Never heard that name before. Now is the boy with that name very strange. But BOY does he have beautiful eyes. I get to the front door and open it. Walk inside with my thoughts filled with the owner of those brown eyes and that strange car ride that happened a couple of minutes a go.
My thoughts get interrupted by two voices. One female voice and one male voice. I take off my shoes in the hallway, put my backpack on the floor and start to follow the voices through the house. I end up in the kitchen and I can't believe what I am seeing.
I'm shocked. I can feel my eyes starting to water. I feel betrayed. I feel anger and sadness coming over me.
I can't believe she would do this to me. And especially to him.
