|| chapter 4 ||

Friday finds me sitting Indian style on my bed, pondering over what to wear for my date that was approaching fast in less than two hours. We had a strict curfew at Witherheist's, and Friday was the only time we were allowed off campus. Sebastian was supposed to meet me at the front of the school gates, and from there we would head out to whatever he has planned.

"Have you decided on what to wear yet?" Meilin asks me.

"No, not really. I'll just throw something on last minute," I say, picking up a magazine and carelessly thumbing through the pages.

"Seriously? I know this plan you have going on, is going to go pear shaped."

"Meh, whatever. It's just Sebastian."

Oh, how wrong I was.

~~~

An hour later, I'm bustling through doors, throwing open doors and drawers and pulling out my hair in frustration. Nothing is working! My clothes have just magically disappeared overnight.

Sighing with relief, I spot my trusty black skinny legs and my red varsity jacket over a plain black singlet and grab the lot before heading for a shower. I only had a mere fifteen minutes before Sebastain arrived. Hurrying through all the steps I would usually do within my own pace for my makeup, I hope I don't look too bad.

Hey, just because I couldn't care less about Sebastian, doesn't mean I'm not a girl.

I look out a dorm window to find a nicely groomed Sebastian waiting for me. Running a hand through my damp hair, I look around to see if there is anything else that I should put in my handbag. Finding nothing I head out, Meilin calling after me.

"Have fun and stay safe!"

I roll my eyes.

Typical Meilin.

I take the steps two at a time before I reach the double doors. I open them and turn to greet Sebastain.

"Hey," I say to him.

"Heeey Tor. I didn't know you'd brush up that well," he says while his eyes rake my body.

"Buddy, my eyes are up here," I say snapping my fingers. "And it's Tori. What the hell is Tor? It sounds like Thor!"

Chuckling, Sebastian shakes his head at me.

"Come on, we're gonna be late."

I look around the car park, searching for his car. The only thing I can see is a ratty, old, retro motorcycle.

Are you kidding me?

"Uhm.. Sebastian? Where's your car?" I ask, laughing nervously.

"Car? What car? This beautiful baby is all we need," he says placing a kiss on the grimy exterior of the death machine.

"Ew! Who knows how many germs there are on that thing! I can't believe I agreed to this!"

"Don't worry, Tor. I'll protect you. Now hop on." He says, but not before throwing a wink my way.

"It's Tori." I say meekly, but nevertheless obliging to what he says.

Feeling like I just signed my death wish, I climb on, straddling the bike. My hands find their way around Sebastian's waist, clutching it tightly.
