Chapter 5 - Dawn
Robbie knew. Robbie figured it out. He outsmarted me. And there was nothing I could do. I ran into the school, not knowing where to go. I just knew I had get away from Robbie. Luckily I found someone named Adela who was thrilled to see me and casually walked me to first period - Trigonometry. UNluckily, Robbie just so happened to be in the same class.
I knew he stared at me, but I had no intentions of staring at him. Although it was quite tempting. His eyeballs were frighteningly compelling, but I resisted. And as many times as he tried to make contact with me, I always found a way to get out of it.
It was like that through the whole day. I found myself following people who came across me and squealed at the sight of me being there. It all seemed repetitive but the process worked.
At lunch, I had to stay in class so I could make up some missing work. It would seem I'm spending the rest of the week making up missing work. But I was just relieved to know I was avoiding Robbie as much as possible. After school was when my hopes defied me.
I waited outside of the building, searching for my mom's silver car to pass by so I could go home. 20 minutes passed since school ended and 6 people, including me, were still waiting for their parents to come. From what I remember, it took only 10 minutes to drive to school. So what was taking so long?
I pulled my phone from out of my back pocket and called my mom. After 6 rings, someone from the other end said, "Hello?"
"Mom?" I asked.
"OH is this Kina's daughter?"
"Yes," I replied. "Is my mother available?"
"She was called in for a meeting last minute," she answered. "She told me to tell you that she won't be able to pick you up so you could ask for someone else to give you a ride."
"Who?" I asked slowly.
"Forgive me if I'm wrong, but Rob? Robin? I forgot. I know it has Rob in it."
My hands fisted around the phone as I inhaled sharply. "Robbie?" I asked.
"Yes! Yes, Robbie!" exclaimed the lady. "Sorry hun. I have to go. Have a nice day. Goodbye."
The line ended, and I slowly lowered the phone from my ear. I couldnt have Robbie drive me home. No. That is definitely out of the question. But who else could give me a ride?
I looked around then stopped when I realized it was pointless. I knew no one, so of course I wouldn't randomly find someone to offer me a ride. Then I realized, shouldnt Robbie have left to go home already? Aside from the fact that I have no intentions of seeing him, I still needed him to get back home. But I couldnt rely on him. I couldnt stay in a car for 10 minutes with him, shaking and stuttering the whole way. It wasn't-
"Why are you still here?"
My heart froze. My body became paralyzed. But my legs felt like jello, and they were going to let down any minute now. I could feel Robbie's presence. It was like the weight of a swinging tire was about to hit me but it never did. I hated that I never knew exactly what to do around him. It was worse now I knew what he knows.
I took a deep breath and exhaled. "No reason," I replied. "I just like to be alone."
"You dont have a ride," Robbie said in a monotone voice
"I have a ride," I said defensively, still facing away from him. "They're just.. not here yet."
"You're mom does this all the time," he informed. "Come on. I'll give you a ride home." I can sense his hands starting to reach out to me but quickly, I turned around to face him.
