Dormans

Chapter 10

"Derrick we need some connections with the outside world, and you are the only one who has connections" I whisper into his ear, we were in a rage party thrown by Asphodel and I was wearing a black dress, which was fitted on top and flared until above my knees and red converse, and of course my glasses and watch. Not my ideal look but I had to not look suspicious.. Sadly I was too eye catching and when Derrick and I entered together... Yeah, you could say that right now, I can hear a couple girls muttering something about Derrick and I dating.

Three words: NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

"I do have a bunch of connections... But I mean, It's hard, I-ill try and get to see if someone will help us from out" he whispers back and I give him a hopeful smile, to which he returns before Max taps me on the shoulder and ushers me to dance, a slow number came on, so forming the stance, we started to sway side to side, in rhythm to the music.

"We need to discuss this plan" he whispers softly.

"Derrick will try to get someone to help us but it will be hard for him to do so" he pulls back and gives me a wide smile, before crushing me in a hug, making me gasp and wrap my arms around him.

"Thank you, I can finally be free" he whispers and I hear a bit of sobbing from my shoulder, so I let him silently cry while I bury my head in his chest, inhaling his scent. Like that we stood there and danced for a long time

Be free.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<

"Morning sleepy head" I say, whilst shaking Derrick from his sleep. Call me mean and all but it's 11 am and I'm freaking starving over here. Groaning, he turns his face the other way as an attempt to prevent me from waking him up the way I do. With Justin B playing next to his ear.

"Derrick" I sing, poking him whilst he squirms like a worm, trying to break free from a bird. Hey... That rhymed !

Anyways ... As he grumbles and groans, I continuously poke him, giggling at his attempts to get away from me. That is until, he suddenly grabs hold of my hand and pulls me towards him, our faces inches apart and his sleepy eyes glaring at me. If it weren't for the amused smile on his lips I would've been scared. Except, I still am.

"Stop it Kay" he says, he does not have a freaking morning breath ! How ? It's still as minty as before ! Damn you Derrick.

"Or else what ?" I ask, with defiance written all over me.

"Or else..." He mutters while pulling my hand closer towards him, as well as my body, freaking me out as hell. Are we going to kiss ?

No no no no !

"I may have to kiss you.." He whispers against my ear, and with that, I try to get away. Squirming, pulling and all others, but his grip is annoyingly strong ! And back at school he couldn't even fight !

Yanking me towards him so that my back hit his chest, he looks deviously at me before placing a kiss on my cheek, standing up, and walking away.

What the help was that ?

"That, Kaylin was the kiss I said I'd give you"

Oh..Darn loud thoughts !

Hearing the door close, I stare up to the ceiling and think..

Why of all the things would he kiss me? Does that mean he likes me ?..... No, he goes for more bubbly and cheerful types, not weirdly yet awesomely sarcastic girls. Why am I even thinking about him so much ! Wait a minute ... Do I ? No.. I can't like him ! Right ? I mean, he's definitely not my type, not in a mean way I just mean that.. He's given me glares, I've broken his trust, we've fought, he's made me doubt myself and so on and so forth. So why... Am I still thinking about him ? Why am I still... Remembering the kiss ?.. Why ? And why am I acting like he actually kissed me ? I just realized that I'm an idiot... Woohoo !

Sitting back up, I see Derrick staring at me, a slight blush forming on his cheeks on catching him in the act. Hopefully I wasn't blushing too, because to me, I have no clue when I'm blushing.

"Uhm.. Lets go eat" He said, before opening the door and stepping onto a platform, his hand outstretched to get mine. Ignoring the warmth I felt, we speed to the cafeteria where we eat lunch before heading back, and deciding to head to the park and take a run.

Changed and ready, we once again go on the platform and head to the park, me breaking into a run as soon as we start. I needed time to think.

"Kaylin, why'd you run off ?" Said Daniel as he ran beside me.

"Oh... Uhh I wanted to race you" I puffed as I tried to gain speed.

"Well then, lets go ! Loser buys ice cream !" He said before breaking into a sprint, leaving me behind.

Oh hell no ! Breaking off into my own sprint, and trying to remember all scary things chasing me, I pick up my speed, ignoring the burning sensation at the back of my throat.

Speeding past the trees and play park, I see Derrick in the distance, jogging like he's in a park. Well we are in a park but that's not the point ! I'm getting my ice cream. Mm.. Cookie dough ice cream, sprinting off by him, I notice him pause from the corner of my eye, whilst I continue sprinting off to an ice cream van I see, a few hundred metres away. This is it. Ignoring the burning sensation and the strain on my lungs, I push my legs on and on, until I reach the grassy area infront of the van, and then, darkness.
