She Rises

Chapter 11

"Bye, Auntie! I'll see you after school. Riley! Get some rest!" I yell as I pick up my keys and head for the door.

Riley is sick today, so I'm driving my 2008 4 door Chevy Silverado. It's a lovely blue. I just love it! I don't mind driving myself. I just like the company. Anyway, as I'm walking out the door, I see a motorcycle pull up in my drive.

"I heard you need a ride!" Jace yells.

How the hell did he know Riley wasn't going to school? I look up to see Riley looking out the window with a big grin. She texted him. Of course.

"No, I'm ok. I'm capable of driving myself." I start to walk towards my truck.

"Awe come on! You know you loved riding on the back of it!" He smirks. I did, in fact, love riding on it.

"Come on, pleaaassseeee?" he says, with those cute puppy dog eyes.

I sigh in defeat. "Fine" I say as I start walking towards him.

He has a small smile on his face. He hands me a helmet, and I jump on the back. The ride was silent, but comfortable. As soon as we park, I get off and give him his helmet.

"I'll wait for you after your detention, and I'll give you a ride back home." As we walk into school, Amber glares at me, seeing me walking in with Jace.

"OMG, I missed you!" Ashlyn comes up to me yelling, and giving me a big hug!

"I'll see you later, love." Then Jace walks off, leaving me with Ashlyn and her excited talking.

"What were you doing with Jace? Where's Riley? Do you like him? Omg! You two would be so cute together!!" She starts squealing, and everyone just looks at us.

I give them a glare, and they all turn around.

"Again, one question at a time, girly. 1. Riley is sick, and I was going to bring my truck, but she decided to text Jace and have him pick me up. 2. I do not like him." I look down as I say this because, I'm starting to like him.

"You do too like him! I can just tell. The way you messed with him in detention that first day, and hanging out with him and everything. You so do like him. I know what you should do! You should ask him out on a date! I totally think he would say yes! I mean it's always the guy that asks the girl! How cliché is that! I think it would be bold. Just like you." She says, all excited.

"Ashlyn! I swear to God, if you keep talking like that, I will smack you!!" I give her a glare.

"I love you girl." Then we head off to classes.

Lunch finally comes around and as we sit down, I see Jace coming my way.

"Jaccceeyyyy!!!!" I hear from across the cafeteria.

Here comes Amber and her little minions. They all have the most revealing clothes I have ever seen.

"Amber, what do you want?" he just glares at her.

"I was thinking you can come over to have some fun tonight. My parents aren't going to be home." She tries to say in a sexy voice while running her hands down his chest.

As he removes her hands he looks at her and says, "No thanks, Amber. We're not together and probably never will be." With that he walks away and she just glares at me.

"Hey everyone!" He comes over.

"Sup?" James says.

A small "Hey." From Ashlyn.

"Heya." I say.

"Haseya I wanted to ask you something." Omg. Please don't tell me he is asking me out. Please tell me he is. Ugh! I just can't decide. I really don't need this yet. I'm just starting out. It's only my 3rd day!

"Do you want to skip detention and go hang again?" he looks at me, waiting for an answer.

"Yea, I guess I can. I mean you're giving me a ride anyway."

"Alright, I'll see you then!" then he walks off going back to his friends.

The rest of the day goes by, then I go into detention and wait for the teacher to leave. As soon as he leaves, I head out and meet Jace at his motorcycle and we head off. We went to the same diner that we did before. As we sit down the waitress takes our orders and, of course, flirts with Jace. I mean who wouldn't! He's like a Greek God!

"So, tell me some more about yourself. We really didn't get to talk too much about each other last time." He chuckles a little.

"What do you want to know?" I ask him.

"Simple things. Favorite color, band, book. All that good stuff." He chuckles.

"Well, my favorite color is anything that sparkles. I have too many bands, I can't really decide what my favorite is. I really like Walk The Moon though. I think it may be my favorite, if I did have to pick one. Out of the books. I really like the 50 Shades of Grey series. My favorite movie is Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds is just hilarious in that." I say all excitedly! "What about you?" I ask him.

"Favorite color is Blue, not too big on reading. I like too many bands also. But Fall Out Boy is very, very close to the number 1 spot. My favorite movie has to be Secret Window." We sit there and talk for about another 2 hours.

"It's starting to get dark, and I have to get home and do homework." I say.

"Alright. Let's go." He takes my hand and we leave.

We hop on his bike and head towards my house. As we get there, he walks me up to my door.

"I had a great time today! Thank you so much. I really needed it." I say.

"Well, it was my pleasure. I had a good time today too. I better get going. I will see you tomorrow!" he starts to walk away.

"Hey Jace!" I yell.

"Yea?" He turns around.

"I wanted to ask you something." I look down.

"Ok, what is it?" He asks.

"I wanted to ask if you would like to go on a date this Saturday?" I look up to see his face, and I don't think I like it.

Peaches! I know it's been a few days. I just went through a little writer's block. Don't kill me about this cliffhanger! You know I love you all!

Please don't be a silent reader!

Have a good night/day. Depending where you are!
