The Ride Home

Chapter 3

When lunch time rolled around I was so relieved that I finally had a break for teachers and lectures. I was happy I could finally spend some quality time with my amazing boyfriend and the best friend anyone could ask for. Those two people meant the world to me.

Then I saw her. She was sitting next to Jake in my spot. I just barely met the girl and she was already pissing me of. Finally Jake saw me walking over and asked Azora to move to another seat at the table. I wished she would just go away but me being me I just put on another fake smile and carried on with my day.

Azora kept showing up everywhere. We had almost all the same classes and when we didn't she would magically show up in the bathroom when I was escaping from yet another teacher. Why did I have to be such a nice person? It's amazing how just one major even in your life can change everything.

I got home around five and wanted to go straight to my room and stalk this mysterious new girl but knowing my parents that wasn't about to happen. They were the type of parents that wanted to know everything about my day. I just give them brief answers to the questions they ask until they give up on me and send me to do whatever I want to.

After the interrogation I went up to my room and checked my phone. I had a missed call from Jake so I called back.

"Hey."

"Hi. Sorry I didn't pick up I was having my daily questioning on how many calories I consumed and how many of those I burned while making out with you," I replied. I heard a faint laugh.

"What was wrong with you today. You seemed a little...off. Was it the new girl?" Jake asked.

"I don't know. She just seemed to be everywhere I was. It was like having a foster sister or something."

"Ahh. Well would a romantic date to Dairy Queen make her highness content on having a 'new sibling'?" he teased.

"Very much so kind sir," I said through a wide grin.

I ran down stairs and told my parents I was going out with Jake. They gave me the usual five second safe sex speech and then I was out the door.

When I puled up to our meeting place he was standing there waiting like a complete idiot. He walked over to the driver side of my car and opened it for me.

"Shall we go inside and get the royal pain some ice cream?" he asked playfully. I lightly punched his arm and then kissed him.

When our blizzards were done we took a seat and started talking about books and TV shows and other little things that mean the world to us.

I was in the middle of talking about Supernatural  when Jake said," You get this little adorable twinkle in your eye when you talk about things you love."

I blushed and playfully pushed him and he smiled.

When I walked in my dad told me one of my friends dropped something in an envelope but she didn't give me a name. He pu tit on y bed so I headed upstairs to see what it was. I plopped onto my bed and opened it.

It was a death certificate. Not just any death certificate though. It was mine...
