Can You Save Me?

chapter - 4

I woke up and groaned I did not want to go to school I was so tired. I washed my face and put on a blue flannel shirt with black jeggings and brown fringe boots. I put my hair in a side pony tail on my shoulder and made my way downstairs. My dad was in the kitchen and was making breakfast. Caleb and Annabelle were sitting at the table talking and laughing about something.

"So Raegan," me dad started. "Caleb told me someone asked you to go to a party." I looked at Caleb with a murderous look. He smiled sheepishly. I punching him in the shoulder. He hissed probably faking it to boost my ego. "Don't attack your brother. I think that's great you don't go out very often. Maybe you could let loose a little." I wanted to crawl up in a ball this was so awkward.

"Dad," I started. "I can let loose at home," I asked more than said.

"You're going to that party. I know how those highschool parties can be. Don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. And don't have too bad of a hangover," he said. I groaned and me fave was in flames. "You know where to kick the boys if they make the moves, right?"

"Well I'm leaving now," I said smiling as Caleb was laughing his ass off. I walked down about a block and heard a cat honk next to me. "Damn it Ca-" I turned and surprisingly saw Sebastian.

"Expecting someone else?" He asked smiling.

"No one important," I said smiling slightly. He smiled.

"Need a ride?" he asked with his elbow hanging out of the window.

"It's ok I can almost see the school from here," I said smiling. He sighed.

"C'mon I won't kidnap you," he said grinning. I sighed knowing he wasn't going to leave me alone.

"Let me write your license plate number just in case," I said pulling a pen out if my backpack pocket. He laughed and shook his head. I saw Caleb driving by in his truck. I flipped him off and he pulled up next to me and rolled down the window.

"Where are you going?" Caleb asked angrily.

"To school. I have a ride don't worry," I said giving him a fake smile. He growled and I got into the car. "Bye Cub."

"Who was that?" Sebastian asked with an amused smile on his face.

"My idiot brother," I said smiling slightly. He laughed and we made small talk, but within seconds we were at the school. I got out of the car and everyone was whispering about us assuming what just happened.

"Wow I give someone a ride to school and everyone goes crazy," he said shaking his head.

"I know it's annoying, but thanks for the ride Ill see you later, Sebastian," I said smiling and waving at him. He smiled and we went opposite directions. I got into my first class and everyone looked at me. I rolled my eyes internally and took my seat. The class went by pretty slowly and I was getting annoyed with this teacher. The class finally ended and it was time for my math class. I was really bad at it so I tried to pay attention as best as I could.

By the time the class ended, I was basically in tears mentally. I was horrible at math and it was apparent that I was the most stupid person in the class. I got to my next class and I realized Sebastian was in this class. I sat in my regular seat and put my head down on the table with my arms around it just wanting to go to sleep. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped up.

"Hey sorry didn't mean I scare you," he said nervously with a hint of pink on his cheeks.

"No it's fine. I just have a bruise there," I said smiling hoping he wouldn't question it further.

"How did you get that?" he asked looking amused.

"As you can tell I didn't wake up on the right side of the bed," I said smiling trying to play it off cool. I still felt bad lying. He laughed and sat next to me. People were staring and whispering which was annoying me to no end.

"Just ignore them," he said smiling. He had really cute dimples and a nice smile. I blushed slightly when he realized I was checking him out kinda. He chuckled slightly and there was a chair pulled out next to Sebastian. I surprisingly saw Austin. This was an extremely awkward situation. The teacher started the class and I could feel the tension in the air. It was finally lunch and I waved goodbye to Sebastian before going outside in the field.

I was thinking about Sebastian's party and wondering if I should go or not. My dad even said I should go and let loose. I smiled thinking about this morning. I still had some seeds leftover and and continued spitting them out in the grass. I made my way back inside the school to my last period class. The class was pretty chill and nobody really paid attention.

It was the end of the day and I saw my brother waiting outside. I raised my eyebrow and looked around. All the girls were drooling over him and I wanted to barf.

"Where's the guy who have you a ride? I know he asked you to the party it's a simple answer," he said smiling.

"You're funny," I said trying to get in the car. I groaned. "That's him," I said pointing.

"Where?" my brother said stepping out of my way and I got into the car quickly. Annabelle was laughing as she pointed at Caleb through the tinted windows. He clenched his jaw and got in the car. It was silent and we got home.

I was happy I was having today alone. I walked in the house and there was a small beagle barking at me.

"Aww," I said smiling holding out my hand for it to sniff it. It licked my hand and I pet it.

"What the hell is that?" Caleb said.

"We're dog sitting," My dad said sighing.

"If that dog shits in my room, I swear," My brother said.

"Watch your mouth," my dad said sternly. I laughed slightly. My brother scowled at me and I bit my lip still petting the dog.

"Who's dog is this?" I asked scratching it behind it's ear and standing up.

"My boss' she's going out of town until Monday," my dad said. I smiled and nodded. I pet her again and noticed her collar said Pixie with pink sparkles around it.

I went upstairs and Pixie followed me. She was hesitant to go in my room, but eventually did. I closed the door behind her and she was sniffing around. I was laying in my bed on my phone until I got bored. I changed into some of my Caleb's sweats and a t-shirt before going down stairs.

I sat down on the sofa watching baseball with my dad. We were both cheering and rooting for the Red Socks in the World Series game. We were a big baseball family. My brother and Annabelle came down stairs and she announced she was leaving.

"I'll take your dress with me and wash it," Annabelle said smiling at me.

"No it's fine really I need to do laundry anyways," I said smiling.

"Are you sure?" she asked hesitantly.

"Yeah really," I said smiling. She smiled and handed it to me. Caleb drove her home and came back. We ordered a pizza and finished watching baseball around 10. I went to bed with Pixie laying in her bed next to me.
