Lost (on hold)

~Chapter 11~

I tried to cover my face as I walked through the crowded hallway, believe it or not it's hard. They practically squish you in without them even noticing. I squirmed in between the people trying to at least get to my destination, which was Oliver's locker. After a few twists and turns I was finally free and I also reached Oliver's locker. I leaned against the lockers and waited for him to notice me, all because he had his nose in his phone.

"Hello?" I said, waving my hand in front of his face, he didn't budge " HELLO!? EARTH TO OLIVER?" I exclaimed

He shot his face up to look at me, he looked surprised,"oh sorry, how's your luck in escaping people to look at you?"

"50% luck I guess" I said, my eyes then glanced at a figure who was walking up to us, I looked back at it again to find it was Lucas. He had on odd smile on his face.

"Hey guys..." He said in an odd happy tone. I didn't know what to say to him, he was just acting weirdly all of a sudden. Oliver then spoke up, breaking the awkward silence.

"Hey dude" Oliver said doing a bro hug and stuff "thanks for helping me carry this thing" he pointed at me with his thumb

"Was I that heavy??" I asked in disbelief, I'm not that heavy... I've been going on a diet! Well, not really, I just started for a few days, but I stopped. It's hard to go on a diet when others are eating better stuff than you! I pouted towards him and crossed my arms. Ugh, boys, they'll never understand.

They both laughed at my reaction. Ugh, can they shut up. I playfully hit their arms to make them stop, and it worked!

"Ow!" Oliver shouted

"Can you stop it!" I said glaring at him

"Ouch, that was pretty hard Mia..." Lucas said, I forgot he was here for a moment.

"Did I hurt you?" I asked

"Nah, it's fine" he assured, it was still odd of him being like this.

"Why aren't you asking if I'm all right!?" Oliver complained. Lucas laughed at him, I started to laugh as well.

"Oh I'm sorry, did little Oliver wanted some attention?" I laughed aloud.

"Shut up Mia..." Oliver pouted in annoyance. It was just adorable. The bell then rang throughout the halls, startling each student. Oliver separated from me and Lucas and to his own class. I was now left with Lucas. We both walked towards class in an awkward state. We kept distance from each other, making sure it didn't look as if we were, you know, together. As we walked a thought started to linger in my head, a question which I have been asking myself since yesterday. I suddenly blurted out the words towards Lucas.

"Why are you being nice?" I said all of a sudden, his green eyes widened in shock. I could feel my cheeks heat up "no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say it out loud..."

"Nah, it's okay..." He put his hands in his pockets "do you want to know the answer?"

"Hm? Oh ya, yes!" I said

"Well, the reason is...." He paused "...Is that I felt a little bit sorry about your dad, so I decided to let the whole kicking incident slide and, you know, start to leave you alone"

I stared at him for a moment. Were these words really coming out of his mouth? Man, he changed. I looked away and breathed in.

"Thanks..I guess"

"Your welcome Johnson" I saw him smile at the corner of my eye. He seemed too happy about this. After the walk that seemed to take hours, we finally arrived at class, and we were not late! Why was I so happy about this? We walked in and took a seat. Me and Lucas talked through out the class, he can be a pretty cool guy after all.

Mia Johnson, remember, he is still the guys that strangled you years ago. Don't trust him just yet.

My mind was right, I couldn't trust him just yet.
