The Wall We Built

Chapter 18

I'm so glad its a weekend... Ugh this week was way too long. Ever since I met Oliver on Monday I can't stop thinking about him. I kind of wish I was way more nice than I was. I didn't need to take all my anger and stress and frustration with life on him.

I need to get up and make something of my Saturday... I jumped out of bed, found the cutest outfit in my closet, jumped in the shower and got ready for the day. I grabbed my phone, called all my friends and told them to meet me at the mall to hangout. Chase, Lilly, Angle, Eve, and Abigail said they would meet me at the mall at about 1:30.

We were gonna have a good day. No drama... No dealing with life... I'm gonna forget about Connor and not let him dying to protect me bother me anymore.

............

Everyone showed up at the mall at about one to noon... "Hey guys." I walked up to everyone sitting around a table. "Hey." They all spoke at the same time it was weird.

"So what do you want to do?" Angle asked me when I sat down.

"Well we are going to walk around here for a while then I want to show you guys something Connor showed me... Even thought today is supposed to make me forget what happened."

"Sounds like fun." Again almost everyone spoke at the same time and it freaked me out.

We got up and walked around and shopped for the next few hours. When we were heading down to hot topic I saw Oliver and I'm pretty sure he saw me to because I'm pretty sure we made eye contact and he started to walk towards me.

"Hey Lydia." Oliver stopped right in front of me.

"Uh hey."

Angle nudged me and she whispered "And who is this... That you failed to tell me about?"

I whispered to her "I'm sorry... I hardly even know him... He is in a few of my classes and talks to me sometimes."

"So what's up?" I jumped a little when he talked... His some what deep voice still startled me.

"Just walking around the mall... And later we are going on a drive... What about you?"

"I've got nothing better to do so I'm walking around too... And I guess I should probably just leave you to it."

"Okay by..." Angle cut me off and whispered "Ask him if he wants to tag along."

"Um hey wait Oliver... Do you want to tag along?"

"Sorry I can't I have to go home and get ready for practice on Monday... I have my first football game on Friday... But if you want to we can hangout sometime after school this week."

"Um sure." We said goodbye and separated... I went back were my friends were and he disappeared into the crowd.

..................

We got done at the mall and some people jumped into angles car and a few rode with me in my pickup. Angle followed me and we all went to the woods where Connor and I first hung out at. Everyone got out of the car and they all followed me through the forest.

We were almost there and I herd something zip through the trees. I stopped everyone... "Did you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" asked Angle in a concerned voice.

I heard it again. "That... the sound of someone or something running through the trees."

I stopped and listened for a second and then behind us I heard: "And why are you here? No one has been found venturing in these forests in a long time."

Everyone turned towards the voice and stared... I stepped through everyone. "And we could ask you the same thing? Who are you anyway?"

"Hahaha" Her laugh was so annoying I had to clench my fists to keep myself from starting a fight with a potential wolf. "The names Safire... And who are... you?" spoke in a tone o
