Chasing life(Out of time)

Chapter 3

Christie's pov:

The steering wheel felt strange in my hands , butterflies took my stomach by surprise why was I so nervous ? Was it because I didn't want to fail? I was in the test car alone my teacher outside of it he stepped in and looked at me he had already made a notion that he disliked me he'd "tsk,tsk " here and there . This made the nervous family of butterflies fly around my stomach even faster, I wish I wasn't so nervous. I gave him a quick smile hoping that he wouldn't see right through me and see how scared I was.
The teacher looked about 47 he had gray hair and a thin face with a large bulbous nose his teeth looked semi-rotten and when he breathed smelled like bad honey his name was Mr.Monzteree pronounced with a French accent but all the kids in school called him the Monster cause he was so mean and cruel , almost something that you would find under your bed or the villain in a fairytale... He looked at me unimpressed and told me to"Go, forward ...Mrs. Christie is it ?"he said looking down at his clipboard ....

After the test was done I new that I didn't have anything to worry about I could do everything perfectly The Monster though looked less than impressed and said "you passed."he said it like it was the most stupid thing he had ever said. I blankly looked at him and smiled " thank you sir " I said walking out of the car I looked down at my wrist while walking away it was covered by black, blue, and red string bracelets I twirled the tail of the bracelet in my hand you could see the faint outline of the tattoo. I found myself wondering how I would die maybe a car accident "that would be ironic " I whispered slightly I wasn't looking where I was going at all . I looked back paying attention when my ex-friend and a few other rude bullying girls started screaming words of mean at me they started to approach running about 100 feet away I did the only thing I could do I ran , I ran through the school my feet pounding on the stone tiled floors if the girls caught up I could see my face being banged against the floors. I looked back hoping they were far behind... They weren't. I turned back looking forward but I couldn't stop myself from banging into the dark imposing figure in front of me the figure didn't even budge but I did , I started to fall backwards the boy who I saw as the dark imposing figure who was about my age shot his hand out and caught me by the arm before my head smashed against the tile. I got to my feet quickly and muttered a "sorry " I was about to run off but his fingers were still clamped against my arm So I looked up at him I could hear the girls behind catch up my ex-friend ( kattey ) but I didn't look back at her or her friends. I looked at the boys clothes a black t-shirt a leather jacket with jeans and some simple runners then I looked up at the boys eyes they were a mix of black and a dark mahogany they were beautiful and he was probably looking into my turquoise and deep violet eyes another thing about me that was weird , his hair was a blond color that I couldn't describe other than astonishing I wanted to look up at him forever but there was 2 problems with that 1 : I was going to die in 2 days . The second thing was Kattey and her big mouth " I wouldn't get to attached Christie, I mean you don't deserve love if your going to break it in 2 days " I looked up at the boy . Kattey was right I could never be with anyone without hurting them. She continued," and you can't have the cute new boy I wonder what class he's in."The boy asked ignoring her comment of him being cute " what do you mean 2 days?" Kattey smirked "you bumped into him Christie stared longingly into his eyes and didn't even think to tell him about the date on your wrist, wow you are a despicable human being." Embarrassment covered my face ripping away from the boy and looking down at my red sneakers they were converse and I hoped they would distract me until Kattey started again "If you aren't going to tell him I will" she spoke with something that almost sounded like rage, I didn't respond I couldn't bring myself to tell another so Kattey told him"she's going to die in 2 days." She said it simply like I deserved it. Maybe I did deserve to die. I looked up to see the boy look down at me feeling sorry for me probably , that was always the look people gave you before they threw you to the Tigers I winced a little from his glare. I turned to walk away but the boy yet again grasped my arm " I'm Caleb,"He said his eyes looked at mine the girls looked stunned that he spoke to a "low life " like me even I was surprised so I looked up. He was the first person to speak to me other than the teachers from when the rumor of when I would die got out . " ,so are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me your name? " he spoke smiling playfully " I'm Christie " I said blushing a little. I looked over at Kattey she had an evil look on her face the one that makes you shiver, a dark glare only your deepest darkest enemies get . I again turned my head down to my shoes paying attention to every detail "I am sorry for bumping into you, ... Caleb, but I have to get to class ... Uhm bye then" I said again turning to walk away. Needing to get to my locker and make it to class before the bell rang for second period. Caleb looked at me " ok well I'll see you around." He sounded sad. I ran off hoping I wouldn't be late. The girls stopped following me I was glad at least I got a brake for today, I went to my class and sat in the back no one sat by me then the teacher walked in I was looking at my notes and listening to my music with my wicked headphones then I heard the teacher say"class pay attention please we have a new student" no.. way....no.no.no...no I thought to myself I carefully removed my headphones when I looked up I saw those same black and mahogany mixed eyes. He stared at me while speaking to the class "Hi, I'm Caleb." He said I silently slammed my head on the desk "dammit" I mumbled " there are seats every where just pick one" the teacher said to Caleb. There were 5 in front, and beside me and 7 seats in opposite corners of the room from me . I hoped he would sit with someone else and he looked like he was going to sit by the football group but he passed them came up and sat in the seat beside me the class gasped ,gaping at us the teacher looked surprised too. Then he turned to me and said" Hi , guess I'm in the same class as you." He smiled kindly "I see that."was my response.
