Runaway Chapter 3

" Whatever." I said very nonchalant to Khala. She gave a " I don't believe you" look when the bell rang. With wide eyes we looked at each other and sprinted out separate ways to our 1st periods.

I barely made it to class before the late bell rang and sat in my usual seat. I watched as the teacher taught us the boring ways of grammar when the classroom door opened and it was the same beautiful guy from before. His tall and lean figure walked across the room and into the only empty seat. That empty seat just so happened to be right next to mine.About thirty minutes into the class period I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Uh can you possibly lend me a pencil?" The mystery guy asked me.

" Sure, no problem" I replied while giving him a pencil. He said his thank you and continued writing on his paper. His deep, raspy voice was so soothing and nice. For the rest of the class period we had small talk and I learned that his name was Beau. At lunch I met up with Khala and Beau.

" So.. when did you two meet?" Khala asked Beau. Beau seemed a little creeped but shrugged it off and answered. " First period." After that was just silence then Beau turned towards me. " Are you doing anything after school?" He asked.

Hesitant at first then I finally answered, " Uh No. Not at all. Did you want to go somewhere or something?" Khala looked at me with that look that said " You better go with him or I will." He nodded. Suddenly a wave of fear washed over my body. What about the abusive parents of mine? What are they going to think when I'm not home to do my terrible duties?

Either way tonight I was leaving for good so might as well get a little fun in before I leave. " Where do you want to go?" I asked him. He stared at me, then put a finger to his lips and said,"Secret." Ohohoh so this guy wanted to play mister mysterious. Lets see you try and beat me in my own game of mystery Beau.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bell rung into the classrooms and hallways of the school indicating it was time to leave for the day. I walked over to the parking lot where Beau told me to wait for him. This feels a whole lot better than walking my usual route to the cramped school buses. In about five minutes Beau walked out the school doors towards where I was standing and lead me to his nice Range Rover. This guy has even ONE of my dream cars. " So are you going to tell me where we are going or..?" I asked again as we were getting in the car. Again he put his finger to his lips showing he wasn't going to say anything. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked out the window.

" Aw, is little Alexia mad?" Beau asked in a baby voice. I shook my head. " That's a lie." He said with a chuckle. " Fine, I'll tell you. We are going to get some food. What do you like to eat?"

"Italian food sounds good." I replied.

" Well Italian food it is then!" He exclaimed and made our way down to our destination.

When we finally get there, We pull up to Margiano's Italian Restaurant. Before I could reach for the handle of the door, Beau rushed to open it for me. Finally we get in inside and get seated.

"So." He said.

" So." I replied awkwardly. There was a long awkward pause when he decided to ask me about myself.

" Um I'm you know a regular girl.. i guess." I said and played with my silverware.

"What do you mean 'I guess?'" he asked with a curious look.

Suddenly the waitress comes to pur table. Thank God.

" Good Afternoon. I am going to be your server this evening, what can i get you guys?" She asked politely. We ordered our food and we were once again alone. I guess he could tell I wasn't comfortable so he dropped the subject.

" So what school are you coming from?" I asked him.

" Sparks Highschool." He answered.

"Where's that?" I questioned.

"California." He replied. California was far from this boring state of Georgia.

As our food came we just talked about our lives and where we wished we could go. He paid the check and got into his car so he could take me home. When I buckled in, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. My dad was calling me. I'm screwed. It was all ready 6 o'clock and I wasn't home to make dinner.

Beau looked at me with a curiosity.

" Aren't you gonna get that?" He asked. I shook my head and looked out the window. He dropped the subject and continued on the road.

" You know.. you can always tell me anything. I know I just met you today but I feel like we got really close." He said to me with his eyes on the road.

I smiled. "Good to know." i answered. The sky was dark and we finally pulled up to my house.

Time to face hell.
