I walk out to the car to meet Rose waiting for me. "Rose you can drive home, I have to do something somewhere else and I have to get a ride from them" I tell Rose.

"Really?! Your letting me drive?!" She asks.

"It's the Jetta for school, I really don't care what happens to it"

"See you at home"

"See ya" I say and toss her the keys. I walk back to the front of the school to meet Zach.

"Ready to go Angel?" Zach asks me.

"Yeah whatever" I say and start to follow him to his car. And by car I mean motorcycle.

I stare at this vehicle that is so outdated. He tosses me a helmet "What's wrong Angel? Scared?" He asks.

"Me scared of a motorcycle? Yeah right. Just, this one is so outdated, and blue? Really?"

"What would a nerd like you, know about motorcycles?"

"Get to your house, we get your parents over with, then I'll show you"

"Fine. Let's go"

He gets on the bike and I swing my leg over behind him. I wrap my arms around his torso, locking my fingers together.

We arrive at my neighborhood gates and I sit confused. "Um, what are we doing here?" I ask

"Um I live here" He holds down the button on the speaker "Woods" the gates open and he rides in "To hard to believe Angel?" He asks.

"Well um- uh- see- no"

"Well someone just moved into the main mansion, it's the biggest and prettiest one there is and it sits in the center of the court"

"Yeah I've heard"

He stops at one of the mansions and gets off his bike "let's get this over with" I nod.

"Agreed"

"And then I can see what you know about motorcycles"

We walk inside and it's quite nice. He takes off his leather jacket and throws it on the ground. I roll my eyes and pick it up and put it on the coat rack. "Mom! Dad!" He calls out. A nice looking women and man come out together who is most likely his parents.

"Honey did you get into another fight?! We told you next time this happened you would be grounded!" His mother scolds.

"Mom that's why she's here. To explain what happened because I did not get into a fight. Well at least I didn't" he mumbles the last part.

"Oh, um hello dear" she shakes my hand.

"Uh hi. And um yeah he didn't get into a fight. See we were going to the library to get a certain book for our class, and in front of the library was wet but there was no cation sign so he slipped. I told him it looked wet but he didn't believe me, so I avoided it but he decided it wasn't wet and walked over it, and now he has a giant bruise" I say and then Zach scowls at me. "Hey what time is it?"

"It's 2:30 dear"

"Oh I'm so sorry but I really have to go"

"Oh it's alright dear, what's your name?"

"Cr- Lisa. Lisa Walters" she smiles. "Bye now" and I start walking to the door.

"Hey what about you showing me what you know about motorcycles?"  Zach says catching up to me.
