Sidetracked

Chapter 10

"Hey, Will wait!?!" I called out from the door step. Will was already strapped into his jeep when I called out to him. We had spent the whole afternoon doing homework and watching I can do that on the NBC Network. It hadn't struck me until now that I hadn't told anout next week.

"Miss me already?" Will smiled cutting the engine.

"Yes" I smiled sweetly running out to him and slipping into the warm heat of the car "I just wanted to tell you about a super awesome deed were going to do next Wednesday".

"What are you talking about?" Will muttered "descriptive verbs mean you want something".

"Will, I could never ask you to waste yur time on me but, since you offered....... all I wanted was you to come with me to show the new kids around town mext Wednesday ".

"New kids as in, Greyson" Will asked gleefully shimming a little.

"No, new kids as in Dawn, Neal and well.... you know: Raymond".

"Raymond Urgai as in the kid you described as a-"

"Yes, him" I shuddered at the thought of even made a promise to escort the kid.

"Sure" he replied simply "I can do that"

"Really?" I asked surprised, if someone would have asked me I would have packed my bags and moved to another continent......not that, that wasn't a bad idea.

"Yes Bell" he yawned "but honestly I don't think this Raymond kid is going to hurt you".

"Yeah, yeah whatever" I sighed feeling myself getting drowsy " Alright William, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Night bells" he waved when I got out of the car.

"Night"I called one last time as his jeep disappeared down the narrow street. Sighing I retreated back into the house and locked the door behind me. Today was finally over and I couldn't have been any happier. Their was to much to process with all the new students and how they all seemed eerily familiar. It was like I was living in my own personal twisted version of Arthur C. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

"Antebellum!" I heard my dad call from the other room, just as I was making my way up stairs.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked noticing how focused he was on his football game, it was the Seattle Seahawks against the Dallas Cowboys.

"I just wanted to know how my little girl was doing, I feel like we never get to see each other anymore" He patted the spot next to himself and I sat.

"Your right daddy" I snuggled into his shoulder and pulled the blanket over to cover us. Grunting, dad threw his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer into his body "I miss this"

"Me too" I whispered more to myself than him. We never spend afternoons together considering that he never got home before eight and the fact that I usually was hanging out with Will.

"Love you daddy" I murmured when I felt my eyelids start to get heavy.

"I love you too, Bell" he kissed my forehead before I gave out.

This was going to happen

My subconsciousness was bursting with possible outcomes of this evening. And I only had thirty minutes to mentally prepare myself for whatever the good lord had planned for me.

That's when the doorbell rung.

My breath hitched.

They found me !?!

"Antebellum, Finn's here" I heard dad announce from the kitchen.

Thank you good lord, I promise never ever to go to another club ever if you bring me luck today I prayed silently before getting up from my fetal position on the bed. Straining the wrinkles from shirt I headed for the stairs. I'd decided to wear a light blue jean Capri's, a black keys band t-shirt and a pair of red Vans. As for my hair I choose to pull it to the side in a fishtail braid. I didn't want to wear anything too crazy Especially since I was just going to carpool "people" around town.
