Chapter 4

The next morning, Ora should've dreaded her alarm. she had stayed up so late, and with luck maybe gotten four hours of sleep. But today she had an agenda. Today she woke up feeling different, with only one thing on her mind.

That day in her welding class was extremely awkward however. Every time Klaus looked at Ora, she turned away. His eyes were so intimidating. They were like big black holes opening into his judging mind. It was like paranoia and anxiety had overflowed in her brain and she didn't know how to act casually around Klaus.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Klaus' chair was suddenly a lot closer to Ora's chair. It made her nervous.
"Um... yeah, I'm good, everything's great. Are you okay?"
"Haha.. yeah. You're acting funny today." Klaus turned away from Ora to talk to Joseph, who was sitting right behind him in the welding room.
Ora and Joseph were never really friendly. They'd talked before but that mainly consisted of him making jokes and Ora providing a dull, fake laugh. Tyra was a another friend of Klaus, but Ora was not fond of her at all. They were a lot alike in many ways: same music taste, same style, same hobbies and interests. Only problem was that Ora knew Klaus' unmentioned liking for Tyra. Ora was very jealous of the attention Tyra got from Klaus. She would never admit it, but she new Tyra was beautiful and perfect for Klaus.
"Alright students, finals are over, you are all dismissed early." The welding teacher announced as he erased the white board. A sigh of relief flushed Ora's face knowing that she could go home early to relax and get some rest.
"See ya later, Ora!" Klaus shouted as he left the room with Joseph.

Ora lay in bed once again, thinking. But she was so tired that her eyes slowly closed and she drifted off.

Ora awoke to the sound of her phone buzzing next to her ear. Klaus was calling her so she jumped up to answer it.
"Hey Ora, I'm waiting outside. You ready to go?"
Ora couldn't believe how long she'd slept and her heart began to to race as she realized it was time to panic.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry Klaus, I fell asleep. Give me like five minutes and I will be out in a second."
With this she hung up the phone and ran into her bathroom. She put on her tight black bikini under a transparent white t-shirt and jean shorts. Before she left Ora grabbed her grey beanie and her large black sunglasses.
Play's metallic blue car was always a familiar virtue to Ora. It was the most easily recognized car around for how much damage was done to it. It had a large dent on the right side of the car, and a red door replacing the previous door on the driver's side. And all around the car the blue paint was chipped revealing a bright yellow color. The car was so old and damaged, but Ora absolutely adored it.
As Ora opened the car door Klaus relaxed his shoulders and gave her a very seductive look. She imitated him, giggled, and slipped her sunglasses on.
