Crushed

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - Halo

Someone grabbed my arm and clasped theirs over my mouth. I muffled a 'hey!' before being pulled around the corner.

I looked up into my kidnapper's -I don't think he kidnapped me though, he just pulled me around the corner- eyes. Brown.

"Tyler! What are you doing?" I screeched, or tried to anyway.

"Shhh. Hide me!" He hissed and ducked behind my back just as a girl turned the corner. I remembered her, she was number 4 in Nina's posse, Eleanor. Number 1 was Nina, 2 was Mixy, 3 was Heather, 4 was Eleanor, 5 was Sabbi, 6 was Casca, 7 was Priscilla, 8 was Anne, 9 and 10; the twins Mel and Belle, 11 and 12; the other two twins Keely and Delia. Confusing I know, the only reason I remembered was because there was once 14 girls in the posse; I was number 1 and Anna was 3. We left, three years back.

Eleanor was really pretty, with short-it was about an inch above her shoulders- curly strawberry blonde hair and large brown eyes that always seem to have a spark in them. When I mean strawberry, I mean it literally; her hair is a light shade of pink mixed with blonde. It's a pity she wears too much makeup. Her eyelids are streaked with blues and pinks and lips painted bright hot pink and glossy; all the girls in the group had identical makeup, it was obvious to see who was in the club.

"Why are you hiding from Eleanor?" I hissed.

"She's been trying to make out with me." He whispered.

I giggled. "Still the babe magnet eh?"

"I'm a changed man." He grumbled.

"Sure you are." I nodded. "Note the sarcasm."

Tyler grunted and let me go. I dusted my outfit: a baby blue tee dress; basically an oversized blue tee shirt with green sequins and sea foam green flats with a brown belt hugging my waist. My own creation; I had sewn the sequins on myself.

"What are you guys doing?" Came a voice.

"We're making out." I cried sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

Skandar gave me a look of surprise, obviously not noticing my sarcasm. He is so dense. But it makes him cute. I sighed inwardly. I. Just. Called. Him. Cute. I slapped myself inwardly. Stupid Georgie.

"I'm kidding, doofus. Your brother here kidnapped me and used me as a hiding spot." I laughed.

The brothers chuckled."Well I need to borrow her Ty, aren't you looking for Anna?" Asked Skandar, amused.

"Erm, why would I be looking for her?" Tyler stuttered.

Skandar opened his mouth but shut it when he received a icy glare from his brother. I arched a brow. Something wasn't right. Skandar pulled me out of the gates.

"What are you doing?! We have lessons next!" I squealed.

"Care to skip classes with me?" His eyes twinkled.

I couldn't say no to those eyes. "Where are we going?" I sighed.

"It's a surprise." He whispered and walked me to the parking lot. Déjà vu.

***

We were speeding along the road in Skandar's blue Mazda 3. I squealed, my eyes squinted closed. We screeched to a sudden stop.

"Are we here?" I asked.

"Yup." He replied. He put his warm hands over my eyes. "No peeking."

Skandar led me inside a place filled with the smells of plants and fluffy stuff. I sniffed. "Okay, open them."

I flashed my eyes open and gasped. We were inside a pet shop! Looking at the most beautiful collection of sparrows. Light browns and dark browns flew around the humongous cage. Puppies yapped, kittens miaowed, birds cheeped, ducklings chirruped around us. They were all so fluffy and cute. Now that is an adjective I can use to describe them.

"Choose one." He whispered in my ear. I whipped around and looked at him in surprise and squealed.

I walked around the metal white cage and poked my finger at a small sparrow. It was dark brown with a almost golden edge. "This one." It reminded me of the statue of a sparrow that Logan gave me. Oh yeah, the statue sits in my bag now.

Skandar disappeared and reappeared with the shop assistant, carrying a smaller version of the white cage. She opened the door, and surprisingly none of the birds flew out, and the little golden sparrow, perched on her hand emerged before being placed in the cage. Skandar hooked the cage onto his finger and led me out.

"Don't we have to pay?" I asked.

He chuckled."I already did."

***

"Thanks." I hooked the cage onto my finger. We were back at the school to pick up Tyler and Anna. The bell rang and the students washed out of school, cheering. I honestly think they are overreacting. It's not like it's summer break. Amongst the crowd, I saw Tyler and Anna... holding hands?!

"So when were you thinking of telling us you guys were dating?" I confronted Anna.

"Er." She stuttered.

Hello, another update because I was bored. XD I'm stuck at my dads workplace and had 6 hours to pass. Don't judge me, it didn't take me THAT long to write it. I had to publish it when I got home since the wifi there was locked. Another date has happened, this time, Skandar's made the move. So, Leorgie or Seorgie? Ayler has happened! Vote?
