On The Run

3| tour guides

I don't really know what I had expected when walking into the building. I didn't have a clue as to where I was going, what was to be expected of me, what I was supposed to expect of the school
The only thing I've ever known was sitting at the dinning room table with Hazel working on my school work

"Morning Mysterious Wren" A voice said the moment I got out of my car in the carpark. I turned to see Tyler stood by his car in oil stained overalls

"You're a little dirty Tyler" I reminded him and he nodded
"That's what happens when you work with cars Wren" He answered pushing himself off of the car and coming over to me

"Yo Ty who's your friend" Another voice said making me jump, Tyler looked at me a little concerned before turning to his friend
"This is the new neighbour. Wren this is Ryan. Ry this is Wren" Tyler explained
"Huh, Ry and Ty. That's interesting" I said making Tyler smirk while Ryan stood there confused

"Ry and Ty, the eyes and ears of this place! We'll help you settle straight in Wren" Ryan said a little overly confident

"Ryan chill out. Wren, we can show you around if you want" Tyler said bringing him down a peg or two
"It's okay. I should head off though" I mumbled to myself grabbing my bag from the back seat leaving the boys to their conversation which started with a glare from Tyler directed at Ryan

Don't draw attention Wren.
Don't be stupid..

I glanced over my shoulder to see that the boys had now been joined by some girls that were lingering around. Tyler was glancing my way offering me the same sympathetic he had offered me the day we met officially

Don't do it Wren
Don't let anyone get close

Sighing, I opened the door to the building walking inside in the search for my classroom
This place was huge, I don't know what I was expecting but it was not this

—

"You look rather lost" A familiar voice said making me zip around to see Tyler now shortly behind me. I had one last class and then I was free to leave but I had no idea where the classroom was
"I thought you were doing mechanics. Why would you be-" I started before a look on his face make me silent

"Business management remember Wren" He said tapping his ears
"Where are you heading?" He asked asked making me look down at the paper in my hands

"B-302" I said, the moment those words left my lips, his yes light up and his lips curved into a small smile as he rejigged the bag on his shoulder
"I'm heading to B-301. I'll walk you" He smiled confidently before beginning to lead the way

There was an ounce of silent for a little bit as we started to walk through the corridor. I wasn't surprised to see the odd girl here and there turn around to flash Tyler a smile but he didn't return any of them, his eyes were trained on our pathing on me

"So how come you chose Psychology?" He asked breaking the silence, I couldn't tell him the real reason. I wouldn't ever be able to tell anyone the reason

"I want to be able to help people who are struggling to get through something. I want to be able to listen to them and help in someway" I answered making him smile
"I owe a lot to people who work in that field and it's about time I gave something back" I sighed

That was too much information Wren
No it wasn't.. I didn't say why I had help from people, he doesn't know anything, he won't find out.
We're okay
We're not okay

"I think that's the best reason I've ever heard someone give" He smiled as we approached the doors
"Your doing your courses to help aren't you?" I offered and he nodded
"It wouldn't have been my first choice but it's the family business" He explained

"Family" I smiled and he nodded
"I love them and I hate them but at the end of the day, they are always there when I need them" He smiled

Hear that, they are always there when he needs them. But the one time mine needed me I was helpless

"You okay there? Thought I lost you for a second" Tyler said making me zone back in with a nod
"Uh yeah, sorry" I trailed off

I looked up at the door to see my room umber before nodding
"Thankyou for showing me the way" I said and he nodded
"Any time Mysterious Wren" He chuckled before watching me walk into the room

Let it go Wren
Let him go
Do not let him in.
