No Questions Allowed

Chapter seven

The loud noise of the tray's bottom collapsing on top of the table cuts through my conversation with Evan Shelton. My eyes dart up high from where the noise had come from, but mostly to face who had done it. There is no surprise in my features and neither the others that sit around. However the heavy glares seems to change not a bit even from one week later.

I hear Evan's deep sigh and am aware that he said something under his breath, yet I wasn't able to catch a word. His golden eyes just rest at the silver ones that stare back at him.

"You really are persistent, aren't you?" Evan asks Zayden before I can even think of a response. His tone is cool and not very welcoming at all. "I mean, I actually thought you said you were no longer bothering all around here."

"Did I say that?" Zayden taps his chin with his fingertips. One of his eyes close as if he's deeply thinking about the subject, trying to find the correct answer. "My, my, I must've been really distracted because I remember none of it."

"Dude, you should really stop sticking yourself here for whatever reason involves this," Heidi rolls her green eyes as they rest at a Zayden.

Truth be told, I didn't really understand why they got so piss with his presence. Maybe he wasn't the most loyal of humans, but he seemed like a good guy after all. Besides after he had drove me home, which gracefully my parents still hadn't arrive, I was pretty please with him. Not that the guy is at my top best, but neither he is the last. However Heidi and all the others insist so much that he is nothing more than a false pretense and he seeks for nothing more than harm. They even mentioned something about his past that it was too atrocious to speak out loud.

Distracted by my thoughts I hadn't even realize Zayden sat by my said, once more leaving me in between these two. Although sitting beside Evan does no longer feels unfamiliar, but indeed just the opposite. It has been so much I had share with him already I consider his presence like a very pleasant one, also Heidi's and even Darren himself.

"So," Zayden says, picking up one of his fries from the tray and dipping it in the ketchup. I wasn't allow to eat none of those thing, nothing that weren't vegetables or cereals. "Are you going to the bonfire, this night?"

His question had been to everyone at the table, but for some reason his eyes never left my sight.

"Bonfire it's equivalent to society and society to socializing and socializing to people and people is equally to cringing." Heidi speaks with a wrinkle nose as if she talk about the nastiest thing on earth which I am plenty sure it is for her.

Zayden doesn't seem to comprehend her words for he asks to her:

"What is that suppose to mean?" He frowns down at his fries. However he either is mocking her or instantly realizes the meaning of her words since he speaks again, not allowing her to answer his question. "Oh, of course I forgot who I am dealing with."

"And for that that means Scarlett isn't joining you either," Evan says. "I mean she is as weird and pathetic like us and you cannot allow yourself to smudge your charming reputation." I am plenty sure there is some sort of sarcasm involve in Evan's tone.

"Fair enough," Zayden shrugs taking a bite at the fry he had been twisting for a while already. "And since you seem to know my reputation very well I am plenty sure you may also know that as the troublemaker you all swear I am that when I want something there is nothing that can stop me from gaining that something."

"And what is it that you want?" Now there is no sarcasm in Evan's tone, but pure bitterness. I notice his hands had curled to fists and his expression grew as serious as I ever had seen him. For some reason I don't quite enjoy seeing him so angry. I had never like to see people mad, they just frighten me.
