One Week Later

Adrian

I woke to the sound of a hushed and creepy voice in my ear. "Be awake my dear child." I screamed, my first instinct was to punch that someone or something but seeing as luck was never on my side, I threw a punch to the nightstand beside my bed, almost breaking my damn knuckles in the process.

I hissed in pain and attempted to swing again and surprisingly, I was spot on. The person hissed and flew off of my bed.

"Dammit Adrian! I think you broke my nose!" Zion's pained voice hissed.

"Ooh! Christ! That must've hurt like a female dog... you should really put some ice on that." I couldn't help but chuckle at the similar line nutcase used on me yesterday.

I sighed, completely discounting Zion complaining about how his nose killed like a female dog and letting my thoughts take over nutcase. I smiled at the memory of him.

What the heck Adrian? You'll never even see him again, stop thinking about him.

But his beautiful gelled, jet black hair and blue sparkling eyes just couldn't get out of my system. And that tan. Mother of Jesus Christ, he must be a latino. Or have some latino blood in him because damn, that tan. And did I mention his jawline? If not then damn that jaw-

"Stop ignoring me!" Zion yelled, pulling a heart melting puppy dog face up.

"Sorry bro." I muttered, sitting up on my bed and rubbing my eyes.

"It's cool. So, you going to explain to me why you had a face on like you've just imagined jumping into a bowl of skittles and chocolate?"

I shook my head, shrugging. "No reason."

"Hm, well get dressed. And hurry up, I don't want to wait in my car for an hour like last time." He muttered, standing up and walking out of my room.

"You're over-exaggerating!" I yelled after him.

I reluctantly got up off my bed and padded my way into the bathroom. I took a quick shower, shampoo and conditioning my hair before scrubbing my body with a peach scented shower gel that my mother bought me.

After rinsing my hair and body, I exited the shower with a fluffy blue towel wrapped around my body.

I hastily walked into my room and grabbed my hair dryer from my dressing table before drying my hair. I ran a brush through it a couple times, drying at the same time, causing my hair to turn into these natural curls.

I turned my hair dryer off and put that away before walking over towards my tiny walk-in-closet and picking out a plain white top. A black adidas jacket, a pair of denim blue jeans and my all white air forces.

Throwing my clothes on, I quickly added two coats of mascara before rushing down the stairs with my bag and phone in hand.

I grabbed a coco pops cereal bar as there wasn't any time for proper breakfast and waved goodbye to my mother and Jake.

"See you!" I yelled, running out of the house and shutting the door close behind me.

I walked over towards Zion's Mercedes and got into the passenger seat.

"Someone took their time." He muttered. I rolled my eyes but grinned anyway.

He started to drive while I ate my cereal bar. In the middle of taking the last bite, he grabbed it and shoved it into his mouth.

My jaw dropped. Oh no he fudging didn't.

I reached over and flicked his forehead. Unlike nutcase- he didn't laugh, instead, he glared before flicking my one back.
