Chapter 21
My eyes fluttered open as I felt my body being shaken. I let out a tired groan and kicked the sheets off of me. I pushed whoever was shaking me aside and walked to the bathroom.
" Morning sunshine." I heard a voice say. I quickly snapped out of my tried faze and backed up against the wall.
" What are you doing here!?!" I yelled. Josh sat on the edge of my bed and grabbed our photo album.
" Your mom let me in and told me to wake you up. I did as I was told." He had a face mocking my expression. I rolled my eyes and got into the bathroom to do my daily routine.
Looking in the mirror, I realized just how horrid I looked in the morning. My hair was sticking up abnormally and I had fallen asleep in my day clothes. My sweater was hanging off my shoulder and my makeup was smeared with the tears a shed the day before. I quickly wiped off all my makeup and refused to replace it. I left the room completely bare of makeup and in my regular school clothes. Josh was still sitting on my bed and flipping through our album.
" You've change allot. You do look allot prettier then you did freshman year." He admitted.
" Can you leave?" I asked him.
" No. I'm driving you to school today." He said.
" I can drive myself." I spoke stubbornly.
" Too bad." He got off the bed and approached me slowly. I back up and pressed my back against the wall.
" Stop no Josh ah!" I yelled as he lifted me off the ground. He threw me over his shoulder with ease. He stepped out of the room and bounded down the stairs. I punched his back and tried to squirm out of his grasp.
" I really hate you." I said once I gave up. Josh laughed as he placed me in the car and buckled me up.
" I know. But you've hated me before. You'll get over it and maybe we can be at least friends." He said. I sighed and hit my head against the headrest.
" Your gonna pay for this." I threatened.
" What do you mean?"
" Your gonna pay for kidnapping me." I repeated.
" I'm not kidnapping you. I'm politely bringing you to school."
" Politely! Ha! Why must you lie all the time?" I looked at him as he stared forward.
" When have I ever lied to you? Tell me one time I lied to you." He said. I looked out of the window and sighed.
" Never. You haven't lied. Not to me or anyone I've known." I admitted.
From the corner of my eye I saw him turn his head to me. He looked at me with his winning smile.
" Exactly. So you shouldn't call this kidnapping. It's politely taking you to school against your will.
" Whatever. Your still gonna pay for this." He gave a wide smile, yet didn't know the extent of my plan. He never knew the extent of my plans.
It was quiet the rest of the way to school. Not an awkward silence, but I welcome one. I haven't been able to even think about Josh without being this calm and serene. The car was just filled with the steady rhythm of rock music and the drumming of Josh's fingers on the steering wheel.
When we pulled up to the school parking lot a got out as quick as possible to find Brice. I don't know what he would think if he knew that Josh had driven me here.
" Hey sweetie." I heard Brice say from behind.
" Hey! Let's get to class." I rushed.
Brice stared at me with a strange expression but just shrugged it off. He placed his hand on the small of my back and walked me to class. When I was there, I realized that Josh had that class with me. I hadn't realized that yesterday because of the faze I was in. I hesitates on whether to go in or not. I don't think Brice realized that he had a class with me or that he drove me to school.
