Broken Ice {w.b.}

Chapter 4

The next morning, I decided to walk to school. I think I knew the way, and from what I remember it wasn't that far away, so lets try this. The neighborhood was your nice, typical, neighborhood. Aside from the expensive houses, there were people doing yard work, kids playing tag or drawing on their driveways with chalk. 

As I walked down the street, my phone buzzed. I didn't know who it was, because I didn't recognize the number, but they've been texting me since last night. I dunno how they got my number, but they keep giving me riddles. 

I know Cole.

Just like those kind of riddles. I've only seen one of his friends before, the blonde one at the skating rink, but I haven't exactly met him yet. But, why would he want my number? I shook my head, not understanding what this person wants. 

"Hey," someone called out,"do you need a ride?" I looked to my left and saw a car slowly driving beside me. The guy inside didn't look like he would hurt me, but I didn't know. This was a bigger city, and who knows what happens in LA. 

"I'm not a rapist," he said after a second. I rolled my eyes. 

"That's what all the rapist say," I replied, smirking. He nodded in understanding. 

"True. But, c'mon, do I seriously look like a rapist?" I shrugged.

"Got me there." Then, I walked to the car and opened it, sliding in. As I shut the door and put my seat bell on, he rolled the window up and drove off down the road.

"So, I'm going to guess I'm taking you to school?" he asked. I slowly nodded. 

"How'd you know?"

"Because you're not old enough to be graduated."

"Well... Neither are you."

"True, but I'm home schooled." 

"Well how do you know I'm not?"

"Because you said so." 

He got me, again. He's smart, kinda cute, and funny. "I'm Will." I smiled at his name. It fits him, but I decided to joke around with him during this little ride. 

"You look like a Frank," I admitted, grinning at him. He glanced at me, then back at the rode, and laughed.

"Frank," he repeated. I nodded. He didn't say anything else, and pulled into the parking lot of the school. As I grabbed my bag, and was getting ready to get out, he grabbed my arm and caused me to look back at him. 

"Don't I get to learn your name?" 

I nodded, again. "Jasmine." Then, I got out and shut the door. I waved at him until he was out of sight, then walked to class.

After school, when I was helping Lisa cook, I heard guys' voices enter the house. And man, were they loud! Some of them were fighting over which Xbox game they played, while the others talked about some girl they saw on their way back. I looked over at Lisa and laughed. 

"Does this happen often?" 

She smiled and nodded. "Oh yes. How about you go meet the other boys, and I'll finish up here." I flashed her a smile, nodded, and walked into the living room. I didn't say anything at first, just leaned against the door frame and watched them. They had finally decided on a game, which was COD, and none one was talking about the girl they saw.
