First Drop

Chapter 3: Games

After only four hours of sleep I was not looking forward to Mr. David's English lesson. The night was cold and scary. The thought of a crazy psycho killer coming into my room at night  was not a thought to fall asleep with. All day I thought about the killer, it distracted me from lessons and my lunch. At lunch we sat at our table talking about pretty much the same thing as yesterday, Molly's death, Hannah's hair and how John was hot...Not my favourite subject but It didn't matter because I wasn't listening. 

"Hello?! Anybody in there?" Josh knocking on my head and yelling down my ear.

"Yes there is now please don't do that again!" I was snappy and not in the mood for him acting like a child.

"Woah! What's up with you man?!" He said concerned and frustrated with my attitude.

"I just...I didn't have a lot of sleep last night" I said trying to sound as calmly as I could.

"Well when your over you hissy fit I was going to ask if you wanted to come a baseball game with me and the others. Safeco Field? sound good? he said while trying to make eye contact with Rachel.

"Urm, Maybe. I don't think so. I mean don't you think its a bit stupid to go to a baseball match only a few days after Molly' death?" I said trying to get myself out of the event.

"Oh Jake please come" Hannah said sounding quite worried I may not come. 

"yeah, we don't want to leave you out" Rachel said

"Well I guess I'l be able to come, When is it?" I muttered

Rachel then passed me the tickets and told me the game was for that night.

"I can't wait!" she said sounding excited

"yeah...me too" Not even I convinced myself saying that the way I did.

We all carried on eating our lunches. I turned around and looked at everyone in the cafeteria, I wondered if it was someone right there who killed Molly. Who in this room would do something  so terrible to her. I carried on looking until something caught my eye. I girl sat on her own not eating her lunch just staring at the big clock on the wall. Her long lush brown hair came over her shoulders. Her skin was pure white except from her red lips. Her eyes were so wide and filled with a maroon colour. She sat with her legs crossed and her hands together on the table. Was it possible for a person to be so perfect without anybody noticing. I'd never seen her before so I decided she was new. I turned around from ten minutes of staring at this perfect girl and wondered why nobody sat with her. I wanted to go over and say hi but I knew myself to well to know I was too shy. So I ate my food and went to class. All day I thought about that girl and why you didn't sit with anyone. I realised it was the first time in a while I was not thinking about Molly. Class finished and we all left the room as normal and while I was almost out of the school, Hannah run to me and walked by my side. 

"Hey!" she said in a cheerful voice

"Hi" I said this in a different as way as her as I just wanted to go home.

"You coming the game tonight with us then?" she said

"I guess so" I muttered

"Well, do you want a ride there?" she said convincingly 

"Urm, yeah sure" I muttered again
