Chapter 6

I held my things close to my body as I waked down the empty hall to my first class. I look through the doors I pass by and occasionally meet eyes with strangers. A door opens and I see Nash walk out in a crouching form. He looks at me for a second then does a double take.

"What are you doing?" I question.
He places his finger on his lips and closes the door behind him slowly.

He straightens up and hurries past me.
"I'm outta this place. You never saw me. Got it?"
He leaves me confused until I think out loud.
"You just leave? Where to exactly?"
"Anywhere. I'm not letting this place contain me" he opens his arms and turns to leave.

Again, I let my thoughts speak for me. "I want to go too"

He looks back at me with a smirk and jerks his head, gesturing me to come along.

I think to myself to make sure if I was really ready to go somewhere with him, out of all people. I mean, he obviously is going somewhere I've never been to, since he clearly gets out more than me.

He stands waiting for me to catch up to him so we can walk side by side. It's quiet but we manage to make our way through one of the exits without disturbing anyone.

Wow, it's really this easy to walk out of school?

Am I really walking out of school? Oddly enough, I feel a surprising sense of guilt, but why did I come along anyways? Is it too late to walk back into school? No, but that's a great way of getting caught. The doors didn't have handles on the outside so we'd be forced to come through the front by the office. So I'm stuck with him for the rest of the school day I suppose.

I sigh somewhat loudly.
"So what now?"
He looks at me from the side and for a split second I catch him smiling at me. He tries to play it off by looking at the sidewalk.

"Wanna do something fun?" He asks.
I laugh to myself. "Like what?"

"How about we go to the beach?" He suggests.

"Sure, but how are we gonna get there?" I look around and spot a car.
"I'm driving. Duh"
I'm about to get into his car? I don't even know him that well. Maybe this is him trying to be nice or something. I feel like I trust him enough though, he hasn't done anything weird since we walked out the school.

He opened the side door for me to get into the passenger seat.
I hesitate for a second but sit down quietly and pull the seat belt across my body.

He walks around to the other door and jumps into his seat. He gives me a look when I turn to him.
"Your welcome?" He says it as a question.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Just thinking"

"About what? Something wrong?" He turns the key and starts to back up then drives forward leaving the place.

"No no, I'm just thinking- um, so why are you being nice to me? I know you've acted like how your friends act towards me, so why are you actually starting to care about me?  I let out another sigh.

He chews on his bottom lip. "See, I knew you were eventually gonna ask me why this, why any of this. Well, I believe that I've changed. I'd like to show you I'm not that bully I was last year. I want to apologize for what I did; I hit you before, I yelled at you before, I made you feel bad about yourself before. I understand if you don't accept my apology, I'm sure I myself wouldn't either. But if you give me the chance, I'd like to make you happy for once"

He left me speechless. I didn't know what to say or how to respond. It took me by surprise since I was honestly expecting maybe a "because I can" or maybe even "I can be nice to whoever I want, whenever I want" type of answer.

"Of course I accept your apology, Nash. It's just that I don't trust you enough when you say you've changed"

"Well think about it this way, you just left school with me, now you're in my car going to the beach with me and you wanna tell me you don't have any trust in me? That's my point, I'd like it if we could maybe change that if we can" he glances over to me.

"Clearly, I'm surprised I even came along with you. If you really want to show me you've changed, lets just start over"

"Really?" He smiles.
"Just do it" I laugh.

He nods his head and holds his hand out while driving with the other one.
"Nash" he states his name. "It's nice to meet you"
I shake his hand.
"Sierra. It's nice to meet you too"

We make it to the parking lot by the beach and Nash parks the car. I take a moment to stare out at the ocean before stepping out of his car, leaving my school things behind.
