Chapter 11- Best Friends Forever?

The bell rings and I am out the door before anyone else has their schoolbag on. How did this happen? Why would this happen? Is it possible that she arranged for this to happen? What is up with the smell? And the Electric shocks! What the fuck is going on here? I quit pacing as a pair of green sneakers are standing before me.

"Sorry to bother you, but I need to know where my next class is..."

I look up at her and she takes a step back a small trace of fear on her face. Shit, I have got to control my emotions, or atleast how much they show on my face.

"You aren't going to class, come on." I start to walk away until I realize she is not following.

"Then where exactly am I going?" She looks so different, yet exactly as I remember her. Except now I get the teenage, attitude filled version.

"With me, come on."

"I don't have to stay with you, I can find my way on my own."

She turns to leave but I'm infront of her before she gets two steps. Ugh, she is going to irritate me. "Melanie, please, come with me, I'll handle your teacher later. Now come on." I grab her wrist and thankfully she follows. I lead her outside to the courtyard then let go of her on.

"Well isn't this a lovely courtyard, can I go to class now?" She is irritated but not actually mad so I just ignore the little bit of sarcasm and put both of our schoolbags against my tree.

"Get on." I motion for her to jump on my back but she just looks at me as if I've gone off the deep end. "Am I going to have to explain myself to you constantly? Just listen." If looks could kill I'd be a goner, but she does as I told her and jumps up onto my back her skirt rising up far above dresscode but nobody was looking. Everywhere her body was touching mine felt like it was on fire, the electricity was spreading and both of us felt it.

"October, you okay?" she barely whispered,

I nodded and once she was secure I took off running into our school's woods. Her grip tightened around my neck causing my grip on her legs to tighten instinctively and I ran fast as I could through the woods dodging fallen logs and jumping tree trunks until we got to the clearing. Once Melanie was off my back and I could think properly I realized I had no idea how I knew how to get here, I didn't even know it existed. Melanie was walking into the center of the clearing taking in all of the greenery and sunlight, "So, why are we here?"

I shrugged standing akwardly in the same spot that I'd been at since we first arrived, "I don't know, but I need to talk to you."

She sat down facing me which brought on some serious Deja Vu but I shook it off and sat down in front of her. Her resemblance to my dreams caught me off guard, the sun was hitting peach skin making her glow, her blonde hair was falling in waves over one shoulder, and her ever present eyes took my breath away... what the hell am I thinking?

"October... are you going to talk?"

I nod and take a deep breath trying not to look at her eyes, "I need to know why you are here. Did you set this up on purpose? I specifically told you that you could not stick around, that's why I sent you away. You cannot be around me."

She stood up catching me off guard, "Why is everything about you? I get that you wanted to get rid of me, I still get it. Of course I didn't choose to come back here, why would I? My Uncle was having trouble finding work and a plant here said that they'd hire him not that it's any of your business! I had no idea that they would assign anyone to help me out, especially not you! I did not even know you would be here for that matter! Who says I even want to be around you? Now I'm going back to school, with or without you. And I'd appreciate it if you'd keep the conversation to a minimum."

My jaw drops, what the hell did I do to her? Regardless, I jump up toss her onto my back and run us back to the courtyard.

Once we arrive she gets off of my back and snatches up her school bag as I stand there leaning against the tree trunk. She starts to leave but stops after a few feet and looks me dead in the eye.

"You know what, when we were kids I thought of you as my best friend, and one of the best things to ever happen to me. I was so wrong, thanks a lot for saving my life, now just stay the hell out of it."
