Chapter 9: The Pain

Song: I'll be - Edwin McCain

ELI'S POV

"Are you crazy?!" I complained. "No way!" Dawson and I are now at an open field full of geese, Dawson kept pulling me and forcing me to scare them away. I don't even know how we got here. A minute ago, I was randomly chatting with Fred and Dawson about how I never tried scaring geese away when I was young. Then all of a sudden... here we are.

"No!" I yelled.

"Yes." He smirked then kept pulling me.

"Dawson! Ugh! We're gonna be late for school!" I retorted. This strength, oh God. "And" I added. "for goodness sake, there's so much geese crap out there!" I pleaded. Oh God, not the shoes!

"Don't worry Eli," he replied. "Geese are herbivores." he told me in a matter of fact tone, smirked and continued to pull me.

"No please!" I took a quick look at my watch. "Dawson school bell rings in ten minutes, we need to get back!" I pleaded harder. We are now about a meter away from the flock of geese. This is against my whole being, but I have to do it. Do it Eli! For the shoes! "Please..." I pleaded and gave him my ultra-mega-puppy-face look. Ha! What now Dawson? Dylan can't resist this face. 

He stopped pulling me and sighed. "Fine." the amusement on his face disappeared. He scratched the back of his neck and walked past me. Oh gosh, that was a close one... Thank God it worked on him, no one can survive the ultraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! 

"Aaahhhh!" I got pushed from behind with great force, and so there I went running through the flock of geese. Some aggressive goose started chasing me so I ran away as fast as I could. I caught a glimpse of Dawson laughing his as* off. Dawson you jerk! Not only did I step on geese crap but I also used my new ankle boots for running, and to top it all off, I'm wearing a freaking dress! Arghhh! He's not different at all! 

As soon as I got inside the car I crossed my arms and didn't talk the whole time. He stood outside the car staring at me.

"Come on Eli, it wasn't that bad was it?" I glared at him and saw how he was trying to control his laugh. It's quite nice to see him laugh like this, but knowing that he's happy about making fun of me? Oh boy you messed with the wrong girl.

He suddenly leaned closer. His face was so close that I could see the features of his face so clearly. He looks so happy... He playfully sighed, "I haven't laughed like that in years." he murmured, then buckled my seat belt. He stood up and went back to the drivers' seat. Haven't laughed like that in years? Him and his exaggerations though.

--------------------------

As soon as we got to school, I got out of Dawsons' car and ran away as fast as I could. I gotta get away from that guy, he's trouble. You just can't predict when his evil side is going to appear. Keep your head straight Eli, the devil was once an angel. Oh and how was that related again? Oh right, because he looks like an angel but he's actually really evil.

I was walking in the hallway and thought about how unusually quiet it was. There were no students at all. I happened to pass by some classrooms and saw all the students settled down. Did they start early? What?! I looked at my watch to find that I was already about ten minutes late for the first block. Dawson that little piece of ugh! Jerk! I ran to my first class as soon as possible.

After the first block ended, I got out of the classroom feeling so annoyed. It just feels so awkward when you come to class late and all of your classmates are staring at you, plus you have to tell the teacher that your sorry for being late, even if it wasn't my freaking fault in the first place!
