Stranded

Chapter 53

Still a bit taken aback by Harry's odd behaviour, I go back over to the table Adam and his friends are waiting. 

"So, what did Harry want?" Adam asks me before I can even sit down.

"It was just stuff about the Music assignment." I try to play down what actually happened. It's not that I don't trust Adam, even though I still kinda don't-nothing personal, just my trust issues- it's just that I know he would freak out and not allow me to go with Harry later on today for his boxing training.

"Oh," he says, clearly surprised it wasn't more. "Let me introduce you to my friends. Cass, this is Daniel, Amber, MIke, and Lucy." 

"Hi. I'm Cassie,"  Iintroduce myself, giving a warm smile.

"Yeah, we know, Adam never stops talking about you," Amber, a petite girl with a cute blond bob, interjects. I sneak a glance towards Adam and see his cheeks have already started to go an alarming shade of red. Awww how cute!

At that exact moment, Rebecca comes up to our table, prominent bags underneath her eyes.

"Rebecca! Where the hell have you been?" I ask her as her eyes dart all around the cafeteria nervously. Why does she seem so jumpy?

"Can..can I talk to you? In private?" she asks quietly.

"Yeah, of course," I say to her. "Bye, Adam, Theatre History was my last class today so I'll see you later, alright?" 

"Okay." he says, giving me one more smile before I leave out of the cafeteria with Rebecca pulling my arm hurriedly. 

"Here, let's go back to the dorm room, okay?" I wrap my arm around her and lead her that way, all the while, she's looking around us nervously, a slightly crazed look in her eyes. 

Once we get to the dorm room, I unlock the door and we step inside, Rebecca sitting on my bed. I sit next to her.

"Lock the door," she instructs and though this strikes me as odd, I do as she says and then sit back  down next to her.

"Rebecca, where have you been? Blane and I have been worried sick! I havne't seen you since the party." 

"I know. After I walked away from you, I ran into someone, it was too dark to really see anything but, the next thing I knew, he had me over his shoulder and was carrying me away."

"And no one noticed this?"

"No," she shakes her head. "It was like they couldn't see what was happening. Either that or they didn't care. Some probably thought it was all a joke. Anyway, he put me in his car, blind folding me soon after that and then tying my hands up."

"Did you see anything before he blind folded you?" 

"I saw his license plate number. SHE2193." she recites.

"It's okay, Becca. Everything'll be alright." 

"There's more." she says. 

"Go on." I encourage her.

"They were talking about you."

I hear a knock on the dorm room door. It must be Harry. I go over and open it, inviting him in.

"Hey." he smiles slightly.

"Hi. You can come on in, but just try to be quiet.Rebecca's sleeping." I instruct and he quietly enters my dorm. I can't help but stare at what he's wearing, a simple white muscle shirt that shows of his muscular, tattooed arms perfectly, a pair of black skinny jeans, and a snapback that's turned around backwards, little brown ringlets visible on the sides.
