He's Just A Bad Boy

Chapter 23 - I don't skip

Chapter 23 - I don't skip

*HALEY'S POV*

I walk through the all too familiar hallways of barleywater high and head straight to my locker. Opening it up, i begin to grab my english and math books for my next classes.

"boo!" A voice yells from behind my locker door, I close my locker door, ready to glare at the person who scared me so much.

"what the hell, Katie!" I clutch my chest, overdramtically

"sorry" she laughs "i had to"

i flick her forehead "ow" she says, rubbing her her sore head

"sorry, i had to" i smirk and we both begin laughing, just like we used to.

"so whats up?" i ask as we head to homeroom

"I've just been missing you, i see jake more than i see you" she says and I frown, I noticed we were drifting apart a little.

"I'm sorry, Katie, we havent seen eachother in ages"

"as long as we make up for that time, its fine, but I cant say I dont enjoy Jake's company" she slings her arm across my shoulder and smirks

"ew, Katie" I make a face and she laughs

"Come on" she laughs, pulling me to home room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laughter erupts through the whole class. James, the class clown cracked another one of his award winning jokes, detention worthy, definitely. Except that this is English. We have Ms. Brown the most layed back teacher ever so she just laughs it off and says it shouldn't happen again. We all know that if it did happen again it would be brushed off just like the other jokes but we keep our mouths shut and go back to the lesson.

"He's a funny little shit" Dylan whisper/laughs beside me, making me giggle and nod.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That was one of the funniest English classes by far!" I tell Dylan as we walk down the hall to my locker, being only three lockers away we always seem to walk together.

"Definitely" he chuckles

We get to our lockers and I slide my key into the lock, opening up my locker. I shove my books inside, not really caring about them because it's almost the end of the year. I just have 1 more week here.

I look over to Dylan and see that he's just finished putting his books away.

"You wanna sit with us for lunch?" I ask him, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Err, I wasn't planning on staying for lunch"

"What?" I ask, confusion laced in my tone.

"I skip the boring classes" he shrugs

"That's crazy"

"It's fun"

"I wouldn't know" I say quietly

"You've never skipped before?"

"No.." I trail off

"You're 17 and you've never skipped before?"

I shrug

"Come on" Dylan grabs my hand and pulls me toward the school gates

"What the hell Dylan?" I whisper/yell as he continues to pull me down the road.

"Relax. Have a little fun" he smiles that heartwarming smile that makes me forget about everything I'm supposed to be doing.

"But-"

"Shut up" he laughs

"Fine" I huff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why are we here?" I whisper

"Why are you whispering?"

"I dont know"

Dylan chuckles before answering "I like this lake. I found it when I was a little kid. I use to come here when shit got bad at home"

"Oh" I feel that pang in my chest again

"It's ok" he smiles lightly and grabs my hand, pulling me towards the bank.

We sit down next to each other, not saying a word, just looking at the calm water and shining sun.

"It's so relaxing here" I whisper

"Hmmm" Dylan mumbles

The rest of the time there is silent, we just enjoy each others company and relax.
