Over that boundary for you

Chapter 15: Cold shoulder

"William! isn't your class down the others way? what are you doing here?" she asks. William stays silent for a bit, even looking down on the ground to avoid looking into her eyes. She asks again by putting her hand on his head while it was still held down. But William shrugs off her hand coldly. 

"It's none of your business." William walks pass her afterward leaving her bewilder. She calls out for him after seeing his upset face, but he avoided her, leaving Erica confuse as to why. "What is his deal this time, and why were he and Tori talking like they are planning to go somewhere? Are they going out on a date?" the intrigued woman wonder.   
"I know that we agree to slow thing down between us so that Samantha doesn't catch on to our relationship. But still, I never imagined he would go out with another girl." 

"Ahh!" she shrugs her head in disbelief. "Maybe I am thinking too much into this!" While walking away she step on the floor a bit too hard. 

"Ow!! She stops to hold her ankle. "My foot still hurt, I guess I should go to the nurse office to check on it after all."

After school Erica make her way out of the school. Her foot was still in pain so much so that it was bothering her too much. One wrong step later she nearly trips and fell but Dante who was right behind her at the time manage to catch her. He grabs her arm and pull her up. "Are you alright?" he asks. 

"I think so, thank you Dante," she said gratefully. "You want me to help you to your car?" he asks. Erica smiles. "That would be nice, thank you," she replied. 

Dante holds her and slowly walk with her; outside Erica saw William coming around with his bike. Before he leaves the school grounds he stops when he heard Tori calling out to him. "Hey Tori," he greets her back after removing his helmet.

"What's up?" he asks. "Here I make these of you," she said giving him a small box after pulling it out of her bag. "What is this?" he asks. "Just a little something I fix up during home and economy class." William opens the box to see that there were cookies. William tries one. 

"So, what do you think?" Tori asks while William takes his time chewing on one. "It really good," he said. "Thanks, it a new receipt I made, I am grab you like it," Tori said happily. 

"You could definitely sell these in the shop," William suggested. "I don't know about that.... To be honest I want these to be special only for someone I care about," Tori said nervously while blushing a little. 

 William was about to say something else to her, but he looked behind her to see Erica and Dante holding hand together. He went silent in the moment. 

"William, is something wrong?" Tori asks seeing his displease expression. She turns around to look at what he is looking at. "Well anyway I have to go, I will see you," William said.

"Yea see you," Tori wave goodbye to William who puts his helmet on before riding off. Erica in the back seeing their exchange feeling a little trigger when she saw William looking at her with a cold look before he headed off. "Seriously did I do something to upset him?" She whispers. 

"Erica are you alright, you been staring out of space of a while now?" Dante asks. "Sorry let get going," she replied. Before she and Dante could leave, she cross eyes with Tori. Tori showing a bit of tension with Erica and so did Erica herself.

Throughout the week both Erica and William were disconnected with each other. Either of the other wanting to talk with each other. Not only that but Erica realizes that William and Tori were getting closer with each other.

They are meeting up and talking to each other more frequently now, also he's been giving her lifts on his bike to and from school sometime. That's during the daytime at school. At night Erica tries texting William, but she never gets any replied from him.
