Yeah, I Rejected You

Chapter 8: Hell or Heaven?

Shayla's POV

"We're going to take my bike!" Chase yells.

"What? You actually own a bicycle?" I exclaim. He gives me a flat look.

"It's a motorbike."

"NOOO. NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING TO GET ON THAT THING!" I scream as I walk out the front door to the garage.

"Oh I know what thing you're getting into," he smirks. I mentally slap myself.

"Yeah, it's called a car. I'll just go with Cole and Ashley," I wave and prepare to walk off until he drags me back.

"Fine! The car!" he says in exasperation and I grin in triumph. It felt good having the upper hand, since he had to be the one to prove it, and I could still be me!

Once I got into the car, I immediately connected my iPhone and blasted out music. Covers I downloaded from Youtube, such as my current favorites: "Heart Attack" by Sam Tsui and Chrissy Constanza of Against the Current, "Catch my Breath" by Alex Goot and Against the Current.

I was singing silently, and tapping my feet along to the beat, until he changed the music to Avril Lavigne. Not that I don't like her, she's one of my faves, but at least change the song when the song I'm listening to is finished!

"Singing radio-head at the top of our lungs, with the boom-box blaring as we're falling in love," he sang off tune. I laughed and joined in, "Got a bottle of whatever but it's getting us drunk, saying here's to never growing up!"

"Please, I know my way around the school, I don't need an escort!" I exclaim.

"I insist," Chase says, in a British accent.

"No thank you sir," I respond, also in a British accent.

"Yes."

"UGH!" I yell in frustration. He just smirks and pushes me forward to my next class, with his hand on my waist.

Okay. I know what you're thinking.

You're forgetting my power.

I'm entering your mind... AND HA!!! You're thinking I enjoy it! Maybe I do, but really, he's still a player.

"Meet me outside during lunch," he says to me before he walks off.

"Wait! Why? I don't want to!" I yell, but he was already out of earshot. I groan and just go to my classes.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask for the hundredth time.

"Somewhere."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"How far are we?"

"Not far."

"Are we there yet?"

"Be patient, mate," he replied, for the hundredth time. My wolf silently yapped when she heard him say mate. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't bring me to a dark alley, anything can happen there," I warn him.

"Chillax won't you?" he says, placing a hand on my bare thigh. Curse Ashlyn for making me wear shorts. Well, at least they're black and silver... and they have ripped ends...

"I'm going to blindfold you, okay?" he asks me. HECK NO!

"What? What if we crash or something!? I'll die! No, you are not blindfolding me!" I yell, crossing my arms. He sighs then puts his hands in front of my eyes, "Hey! I can't see!" I try to peel off his fingers but it isn't working. I give up and just sit there for the rest of the ride.

"You can open your eyes now." he gently says, whilst lifting his hands from my eyes.

I was breathless. We had arrived at an abandoned pond with a wooden deck and looming trees and flying petals. The wind blew softly against my hair as the birds chirped to the breeze.

"Wow," I managed to say. He prepared a picnic basket as we sat down.

"How did you find this place?" I asked. I bit into the (surprisingly) amazing sandwich he made.

"We'll, I was really pissed off about something I forgot, but then I ran and I found this place. Ever since then, I'd come here if I just need to calm down or something."

"So you're saying you have emotional issues?" I joke.

"Wow, you're so nice," he rolls his eyes and I laugh. We had a few moments of silence (rather awkward for me, but don't tell him that.)

I shiver against the wind splashing onto me, and he scoots closer, taking off his leather jacket and wrapped me in it. I smile and lean my head on his shoulders.

Then I tell myself again: Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.

BEFORE YOU COME CHARGING AT ME IN WOLF FORM WHEN I CAN'T EVEN SHIFT YET - Don't take me captive because this is a short chapter!!! And please, if you do capture me, please, don't make me write a novel for you within a day! My wolf is bound to interupt me and make me have writers block =.="

I just wanted to write that cuz it's funny :P hehe :P But I'm sorry that this was a short chap!!! It just seemed like a perfect place to end... *sigh* I promise that the next chapter will be posted tomorrow - and that it will be much much MUCH more longer than this one!!!

You guys are the best <3
