Don't Make A Sound

Isabella's POV: 

Morning.

The sun shinned through the window as I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and a black hoodie I took from Seth before moving here. 

I really wish he would've moved here with me, Megan, and my dad. Now that I'm out of treatment, I want to give life a second shot. I really want to take everything I learned in treatment and put it to use.

I got dressed and washed up before putting my hair in a neat ponytail while pulling my baby hairs out in front of my ears along with my bangs out covering my scarred forehead. I grabbed two pills from my medication and gulped them down along with water then put them back in my first aid bag.

Walking out the front door I cleaned my whiteboard with my sleeve and looked up. I stopped in my tracks while my eyes widened. 

Adrian.

"Want a ride to school?" He asked smiling and leaning against his car,

This man was beginning to confuse me. It's as if he wanted so badly to be my friend, it was nice but why so quickly? I only met him yesterday and he's been acting like he's been my best friend for years.

I nodded and offered him a smile. 

Even though I found his...closeness to me weird, he seemed to be the only genuinely nice and welcoming person I've met so far. 

I made my way over to the passenger seat as he opened the door for me before he got in the drivers seat. He smiled at me turning on the radio and backing out my driveway.

"Jason's not at school today, so we won't have to worry about his bullshit." Adrian commented as we walked through the halls for free period,

I raised an eyebrow and silently giggled before writing: We?

"Yeah, he won't get to you unless he can get through me first which I've proved to him isn't easy." He said smirking, 

I began silently laughing before realizing...maybe I could let my guard down with him. He seemed harmless and I'm done with treatment. The whole point of it was for me to forget what happened, not let it control me. 

Besides Seth's coming to visit in a few days, I should be happy. I can't let what happened take over any more of my life than it already has.

Adrian walked me to each class like he did yesterday and when lunch came I was ready to sit with Megan at the same table as yesterday but then realized...I have to let my guard down. 

I took a deep breath and stopped walking before facing Adrian.

"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked concerned, I gave him a smile and pointed to his friends. 

"Are you sure? We can sit alone again if you want." He assured but I shook my head,

He smiled showing me his teeth and nodded for Megan to follow before leading me to his table with his friends, I tried to stay confident the whole way there.

"You guys, this is the new student Isabella De la Rose. Princess, this is my best friend Matt." He introduced, gesturing to a muscled dirty blonde guy.

Are most of the men in this town muscled and toned?

Matt smirked and winked at me, taking me by surprise.

"Also known as hot stuff, mister sexy, sex god-"

"Don't listen to him. His ego's as big as Texas." Adrian said, cutting Matt off.
