Of course I was offered time to rest after my "near death experience" but I don't think I had a bruise on me so I just went to school anyway.
I ran in to chemistry as I was late and plonked my stuff down on the spare seat next to me. No one wanted to sit there anyway. Of course at school I was now getting a lot of attention but I didn't really appreciate it as for all I know Mr Anonymous went to school here or even worse taught here. I sat down in my seat by the window. Suddenly, a boy with long black hair and tan skin walked in. I have lived in Barton all my life and I know for a fact that people leave Barton way more often than they come so this new boy was very suspicious. We locked eyes and he smiled I looked away. I looked around the room and sighed as I saw that there were no spare seats but mine. I moved my heavy green bag to the floor.
"Hey, I'm Keenan."
I looked at him and fake smiled. I hoped he got the message that I wasn't interested.
"So are you mute or something?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Or something," I replied angrily.
He raised his eyebrows and shuffled through his bag.
"Look I get it you don't like people but could you at least tell me your name so I can ask to borrow your text book??" He laughed at his own joke.
I slid my textbook over so that it was perfectly symmetrical between us.
"Lisa," I replied
"I like that name" he smirked
I rolled my eyes and the bell rung I couldn't wait to get away from this snob.
I slammed my textbook shut and shoved it in my bag. I ran to my locker as fast as I could.
I flipped open my phone and gasped as I read the message:
Lisa,
Your Dad skipped work today AGAIN.
The cash flow in the Fitz house can't be doing to well. Take Keenan on a date for $200 come on we all know you want to.
Mr Anonymous
It pained me to say it but Mr Anon was right Dad isn't making any money and my job at the diner is hardly sufficient to feed two people. The only money we had was the $600 I took to the clearing. All I knew was Mr Anon knew too much for his own good.
"What's up?" said a voice behind me.
I gasped "Um Keenan, hi"
"A bit jumpy are we?" Anyway I'll see you in Chem tomorrow!"
I needed that money as soon as possible and I needed it before Anon changed his mind.
" Wait....Keenan, could you meet me at Starbucks this afternoon?" I said cringing at the thought of it.
"Sure, what's changed since second period chem?" He laughed as he walked away.
There, it was done. It was wrong. But, it was done.
HEY GUYS!!
Hope you liked this chapter.
