Clara Jane
"We have an unknown project coming up,I don't know the details but I'm assigning partners and you will just sit beside him or her for the next three months without doing anything as everybody just forgets pair projects half way through."
"Your partner will be the person beside you.No changing of seats!"Mrs Jeffrey announced.
My jaw dropped.Me?With Gale?Next three months?What the hell?!
"What is this project about Ma'am?"A student keenly asked.
"How the heck would I know? Don't you know these projects are just meant to draw people closer together in hopes that they will develop a mutual understanding of each other?"Mrs Jeffrey huffed and later muttered something under her breath.
"I can't be stuck with you!"I exclaimed at a gloating Gale.I hate him!
"You are babe."
"Do NOT call me babe!"
"I can call you whatever I want to because I have little to no respect for people."
"I have had enough of this!"I angrily got up and marched out the class.Leaving my bag,books,phone and truck keys behind.Mrs Jeffrey didn't even seem to notice even though I slammed the door.
It was a cold night,a sharp breeze pierced through my skin.
Even though this morning I had on a white pullover and leggings.
Nobody else was at school anymore,the parking lot was deserted.
My first period had been calculus class,and I just got out of calculus.I also didn't bother to contemplate why neither Junie,Freddy or Dylan bothered to find me.
I jogged over to my truck,got into the seat and jammed my keys in.The engine purred once,twice and suddenly went dead with a small sizzle sound.
"Wait what?"I tried again in disbelief,the engine was dead.
"Shit!"I slapped the wheel.I was twenty miles from home!The school was deserted!
At this point I could either use my phone to call for help,run to the gas station,nearby Walmart,nearby police station,nearby hospital,nearby tow truck service or even hailed for a cab.
"What do I do now?"I groaned to myself in despair.Talk about luck.
Getting out of the truck and on to the parking lot I glance helplessly around.Who'll save me?
Just then a red Lamborghini pulled right up in front of me,it's menacing headlights blinding me.
Gale Waters got out of the driver's seat and walked right up to me,half smirking.
"Need a ride babe?"
By this time I could have either used my phone to call for help,ran to the gas station,nearby Walmart,nearby police station,nearby hospital,nearby tow truck service or even hailed for a cab.
Not accept a car ride from someone I barely knew.
"No thank you."I declined.
"Oh? Rather stand out here in the cold? Waiting for werewolves? Vampires?"Gale taunted.He leaned against his flashy car.He wasn't going to leave till I got in.
"Yes.Vampires are much better than you."I retorted.
"So are muggers."
I shivered inwardly at that thought.Screw it I'll take the ride!
"Fine then."I opened the door of his stupid car and got in,surprisingly no music was playing.
"So Clara,where do you live?"Gale asked when he got in.
What? No babe?
"Twenty miles down Wood Bury lane."I answered.
Gale chocked.
"That far?"
"Yeap."
"Okay then."
The journey was silent.When suddenly Gale asked
"So do you have a boyfriend?" He turned to me.
"Boyfriend?No."I replied stunned that he'll think I had one.Nobody ever liked me.
In a deep dark corner of my mind,a cassette player was repeating;DylanDylanDylanDylanDylan.
Gale visibly relaxed.
Watching him drive now,I think I maybe he's not that bad.His dark hair was swept back,and his eyes glowed in the darkness of his car.He was vey good looking,no doubt about that.But don't good looking people always come across as arrogant?
"You're staring.What's wrong?Can't get enough of this angelic face?"Gale turned to me and wiggled his eyebrows.I flushed tomatoes and looked away.
It isn't weird that my immense hate for him that lasted merely three hours ago was beginning to ease.Maybe we could be friends.Which was ironic really,how a car ride can change so much.
