Truth or dare

#8 A Ride

Esme's Pov:

I get woken up by a loud alarm from my phone, I just roll over not even bothering to turn it off, when suddenly my room door bursts open and there stands my tired looking father.

"May, turn that shit off and get up, let's go." he tells me clapping his hand trying to wake me up.

"Ok ok I'm up." I turn off my alarm and pull the blanket over my head.

"C'mon may I have to take your mom to the airport." he says pulling the covers off me making me groan, getting up and heading to the bathroom.

"You got 20 Minutes. "he yells from behind the door before I hear my bedroom door shut.

I take a deep breath praying I have a good day and start to get ready. First i so my skin care, put on some mascara and a pink shade of lip gloss, i then went to my closet and grabbed out a pair of black leggings and a light pink oversized t-shirt that has some design on the front, I looked at the time and noticed that I have time to curl my hair a bit.

After getting ready and curling my hair I grabbed my phone, lanered and bookbag. then headed downstairs just to immediately smell my mom's homemade pancakes. I smile to myself, putting my backpack by the front door and head into the kitchen.

But instead of being met with my mom making pancakes and my dad sitting at the table drinking his coffee and eating some pancakes, I'm just met with a plat full of pancakes and a note that reads:

Dear Esme,

Sorry I couldn't eat with you I got a call saying my flight leaves earlier than expected but i made you some of your favorite pancakes as an apology

Hope to see you soon love you

, mom

My eyes start to water but I quickly push them away before it ruins my makeup. After eating a few pancakes, I took the note upstairs and put it with the rest of the notes from my mom.

I head back downstairs and put on my converse and bookbag. I went outside, starting my walk to school. I would normally drive but dad took the car, and I missed the bus. I would call Noah, but he is probably still sleeping.

A few minutes into my walk a car pulls up next to me making me stupidly stop and look at the car confused. When the window rolls, I am met with Gwen's face that is looking at me kindly.

"Do you need a ride, love?" she asked, tilting her head smiling.

"No, I'm ok, I don't want to be a bother" I tell her waving my hand.

"You won't be a bother when we are going to the same place" she says, putting her ring filled hands out the window.

"I don't know, '' I say, rubbing the back of my neck a little unsure.

"Get in the car Esme" she tells me looking a bit annoyed, but I just stand there and cross my arms

"You think you can tell me what to do?" I say to her, tilting my head.

"Fine" she says, taking her car out of park and driving forward but instead of continuing to drive off she pulls over, parks her car and gets out walking towards me.

"What are you doing Gwen?" I ask her, shaking my head.

"Well, you don't want to let me drive you and I'm not letting a pretty girl like you walk alone." she explains making me blush as she continues to walk towards me only stopping when there is just a bit of room between us.

"You're going to be late" I tell her, stepping back away from her so there is some distance between us.

"And so will you" she says tilting her head, looking me up and down before meeting my gaze. Making me blush and glace down at her outfit she's wearing a pair of black baggy jeans and a green t-shirt that is slightly oversized but still fits her well.

"We're going to be even more late if you don't start walking." she says crossing her arms I just roll my eyes at her and walk to her car that is parked across the street.

"What happened to not take a ride from me?" she asks, catching onto what I was doing.

"I'm not making you walk." I say opening the passenger door and climbing in, she follows, getting in the driver seat.

"You weren't making me I was choosing to." She tells me, starting the car and heading to the school.

I choose not to say anything, feeling a bit nervous. So, we just sit in comfortable silence, I take short glances at her, feeling like I have to examine every inch of her. But When I glance at her This time, she glances back at me and smiles, making me quickly look away, feeling my heart rate oddly spike.

We pull into the school; she parks the car and looks my direction before speaking.

"Do you need a ride home?" she asks me, grabbing her lanered off her rearview mirror.

"No, I'm ok" I tell her not really wanting to ask her of much

"You are so stubborn," she tells me, smiling to herself before speaking again. "Well if you do then just ask" she says, opening the door and getting out, then going to my side, opening the door for me making me smile at the friendly gesture.

"I will thank you" I say before walking off and into the building, immediately seeing Em leaning against my locker with her arms crossed.

"Your late for like the first time in forever.'' She reminds me, making me roll my eyes in annoyance.

"Yes, I'm aware" I tell her opening my locker, putting my stuff in.

"You going to tell me why?" she asks looking weirdly happy

"What's got you so happy today?" I ask her, trying to avoid her question.

"Oh, nothing, just that we have most of our classes together." she tells me practically squealing before grabbing me, squeezing me to death.

"You're crushing me" I say laughing.

"Sorry, but we need to get to class. We are going to get in trouble if we are any more late." she explains as I close my locker and we both head down the mostly empty hallway to our classes.
