I Got Arrested

"What the hell are you doing?" is what I try to ask, but it comes out muffled because of his hand over my mouth. I try to squirm out of his grasp.

"Shh," he says quietly.

"Tim," the person in the hallway says again.

I become very aware of Tim's arm around me. It crosses over my torso. For some reason I slowly begin to stop squirming. It's because of the person in hall right? I just don't want them to hear us because it seems like Tim doesn't want them to. Yeah... that must be why I stopped squirming.

Eventually the footsteps begin to head in the other direction until eventually we can't hear them.

I shove Tim off of me and then look at him with an annoyed expression.

He looks surprised for a moment but then says, "Sorry."

"Who was that?" I ask.

"I don't know, probably just my uncle or something," he responds.

"Your uncle? Then why didn't you answer him? Get out there and talk to him," I say, gesturing towards the door.

"It's..." he begins to say, but then doesn't seem to quite finish so I talk instead.

"Bring me home. Now. Or I'll call the cops and say that you've kidnapped me," I say.

He doesn't respond for a few seconds again. I can't tell what he's thinking. Just when I think he's about to say again that I can't leave, he says, "Then leave."

I raise my eyebrows. "Okay... let's go then."

"I'm not coming," he says.

"What the hell do you mean you're not coming? You're house is in like the middle of nowhere!"

"Yeah, seems like a you problem," he responds.

"Okay... so I'll just call Bene, Julien, or Alyssa. They'll come pick me up and know that I was at your house. You'd sooner die than let anyone know that," I say.

He tilts his head back, rolls his eyes, and then sighs. "Get in the damn car."

Saturday

Well, I'm honestly not sure what to do at this point. The only thing we did yesterday was probably piss off the masked man.

But there was something that I had kind of forgotten about. The fact that I had managed to piss off someone else yesterday too.

*Phone rings*

Me: "Hello?"

Unknown caller: "Miss Riley?"

Me: "Yes?"

Principal Wilson: "This is Principal Wilson. I need you to come meet me in my office immediately.

Me: "Wait why? What's going on?"

Principal Wilson: "I'm sure you already know. Please get here as soon as possible. Come with a parent or guardian."

*Hangs up*

What the hell? What's going on?
