His hand reached for my arm and I swung around ready to meet the creep who has been chasing me.

He had brown hair thrown into a shag his bright blue gray eyes were twinkling in the light. As I stared closer into them they looked strangely familiar.

.He had his blue jeans slung low on his hips and his sk8ter shirt clinging to his chest.

Definitely not complaining because it showed off his 6 pack. He was panting for air and I chucked to myself. That wasn't even close to a warm up for cross country and he was already out of breath. Thank heavens for my super sonic speed.

"Your. One. Crazy. Woman!" he said between long breaths. "What the heck did I do wrong I was running for my life from some pot head that was chasing after me!" I snapped.

"Am I that pot head!?! No I was sent by friggin Austin to tell you he needs to finish up a test so he will meet you in the back in like 5 minuets! But no I had to chase you around the whole school just to be his little messenger . I am making Austin take care of his crap by himself next time!" He flicked his hair to the side of his face and his cheeks were bright red.

I am not sure if it is from running or that he is pissed that I made him chase me around the school. Most likely both.

Oh. Well I probably should have thought of that. Oops. My cheeks flared red and I looked at my black vans that are all torn up from skating.

" Oh. My. Freaking. Heck. I am so sorry I was just getting freaked out by all of these druggies and hookers that I was getting a little paranoid. Gosh I am such an idiot. Sorry for making you chase after me. " why am I so stupid.

"No need to beat yourself up but he is probably waiting for us by the back of the school. As we walked back together we talked casually about skating and why I never see him around. Turns out he moved hear a little under a year ago his name is Colton and he is in the grade below mine.

As we reached the back if the school Austin came into my view. His hair was rustled and he was biting his lip while looking around frantically.

As he saw us walking near him his eyes lit up in relief. He started to fast walk towards us. His muscles flexed and unflexed as he walked.

" I am so so sorry Aspen... Ill have to make it up to you. Umm I willlll ill take you our for ice cream. Yeah. That sounds good. Girls like ice cream right??" he continued to mumble on and on about how he was going to make it up to me.

In all honesty I don't care that he was late. I was just a little freaked out thats all. But still there is no reason why he cant take me out for food.

I LOVE food.

I internally did a devilish laugh because I was going to get free food for no real reason.

" Austin" I butted in "Its all good. Really. And of corse i would forgive you if you bought me ice cream. But now on to the real reason why i am here..."

the curiosity was killing me. I have absolutely no clue what his reason is for scaring the heck out of me to tell or ask me something.

" Oh yeah abouut that.." he bit his lip again and shooed off Colton.

"Okay so I know this might be a little personal but were your parents on flight 5683?"

My breath hitched and my eyes bulged. I have not told anyone about that flight but Charlie. There is no way he could know.
