Wheels

Chapter 5: Rolling with Rory

          I'm sitting in the middle of 8th period when my phone vibrates. "How are you getting home from school?" Rory asked. "My brother is picking me up, why?" I respond, trying to hide my phone from the teacher. "Can I walk you home instead?" I smile when I see her response, quickly texting her back. "I'd like that :)" I bite my lip, putting my phone back in my pocket.

***45 minutes later***

          "Hey, Wheels. You ready?" Rory asks, leaning against the locker next to mine. "Yeah, I'm ready" I giggle and shut my locker, looking up at her. "Awesome" She smiles and walks next to me as we go down the hall.

          "Crap. I forgot to tell Ben that you were walking me home" I say when I see him standing next to his truck. "Should I let him take you home then?" Rory asks, looking slightly disappointed.

          "Nah, I'll just tell him that you're walking me home. Come on" I smile and head toward my brother. "But I'm not good at meeting the family" Rory giggles and follows me.

          I smile and wheel faster to hide my blush, shaking my head slightly. Rory giggles more and chases me over to Ben's truck. "Hey bro. I totally forgot to text you. I don't need a ride home" I bite my lip, looking up at him.

          "Why? What's up?" He asks, looking back at me. "Rory is gonna walk me home. This is Rory, by the way" I smile. "Nice to meet you, I'm Ben" Ben says and reaches out his hand.

          "It's nice to meet you, too" Rory smiles, shaking Ben's hand. "Well, you two have a nice walk, and I'll see you in a bit sis" Ben smiles and gets in his truck, driving home.

          "Want a ride?" I ask, looking up at Rory. "What?" She giggles, looking back at me. "I can carry you on my lap. It's the least I can do for everything you have done for me today" I smile, biting my lip.

          "Okay" She giggles softly and carefully sits on my lap, wrapping her arm around my neck. I smile and start to roll down the sidewalk to my house, going slow to make sure that Rory doesn't fall.

          We get to my house and I look at Rory. "Wanna come in for a little bit?" I bite my lip. "I'd love to, but I need to get to gymnastics" She says and sighs softly. "See you tomorrow then?" I smile.

          "Of course" Rory smiles and hugs me before getting off of my lap. "And thanks for the ride" She giggles softly. "No problem" I giggle and go inside after she walks away.

          "Today was definitely better than I thought it would be. I think I'm going to enjoy living in St. Louis after all..." I think to myself as I shut the door, probably smiling like an idiot.
