The body snatchers

plan

As I opened my eyes the sun scorched above me. I blinked trying to make out what was going on, I was being carried. I swung my head up to see who was carrying me. It was Luke.

"hey, I see you woke up" he said

"aren't you such a detective" I laughed, he laughed with me

" you feel alright to walk?"

"yeah, what happened?" I say as he puts me down on my feet

"you fainted, there wasn't enough stretchers considering almost everyone did too, so I offered to carry you out"

"wait? Why did we need to get out?"

"the police are taking charge and have the school on lockdown"

"but I saw something"

"what do you mean?''

"the finger. It had a ring on it"

"have you seen the ring"

"it was my friends"

"was." He paused "was she in the crash?"

I start to tear up. No. I said I wouldn't. I rub the tears away quickly. But Luke has already seen.

"yeah" I say

"I'm sorry" he hugs me. I bury my face in his chest. I've only known him, Not even for a day and I feel comfortable and safe, as I would with some one I've known my entire life.

Just as I pull away from the hug my phone rings. I excuse myself to answer the call.

"hello?"

"hi, aria dear" says a voice on the other end of the phone " its Kathy" savs mum.

"hi Kathy, what's up?"

"oh umm" she pauses and I hear shuffling sounds on the other end of the phone " I just needed to let you know that the funerals been cancelled."

"oh, umm ok?"

"I better go dear" I hear a sniffle on her end "sorry hun" she says and then immediately hangs up.

Almost an hour later we are free to leave, but I don't feel like being at home alone.

" hey aria?" says Luke

"yeah?"

"would you like to maybe come over to my house for a bit?" he says seemingly reading my mind.

I blush. Stupid. No stop blushing.

"sure" I reply. He smiles.

"ill have to take my car with me tho" I say thinking to myself.

" you could crash?'' he says.

Spend the night in the house of a guy I met today. He's hot, and sweet. No stupid Idea I shouldn't stay.

" ok sure" I say. Stupid girl. I check what I wearing just in case I should maybe change into more sleep worthy gear. A plain black shirt, moron knitted jumper and jeans. Should be fine. Wait what about school tomorrow?

"what about school?" I ask luke

"they might not even have it tomorrow for the  police investigation"

Well he sure had this planned out

"well then I guess that's a ok"

" I guess it is" he says, guiding me to his car.
