Tord's pov
When school had ended, I was just starting to walk to my truck when I saw the boy I had accidentally bumped into walking out of the school and start walking in the direction of the abandoned neighbor hoods. Where is he going and why? That boy is too curious. I looked at my truck and decided to give him a ride to his destination, I climbed in and drove up to him rolling down the window. He just starred at me in surprise. "Need a ride?" I asked leaning over the seat."..." Was all I got from him. "Hop in." I say and he lets out a sigh and climbs in. I chuckle and grin and start to drive again. "Where to?"
"18th street." He talks so quietly. We drive in silence for a little bit before I ask him some questions. " what's your name?" " T-tom..." "Heh. Nice to meet you Tom, I'm Tord." I smile but keep my eyes on the road. "Why are you giving me a ride home?" The question caught me off guard. "Because I thought I owed you because I caused you to fall yesterday. " "Oh. So that was who I was in the way of yesterday..." I didn't hear the last part. Quiet kid. Heh. What's he mumbling about now. And why is he wearing long sleeves in 99° weather?! " What's with the long sleeves. Aren't you burning up?" I see him fidget in the passenger seat out of the corner of my eye. " No. I'm fine. Oh! You can let me off here. My mom would be curious if she saw me in a vehicle coming home."
"Why would she be? Don't you get rides home from your friends?"
" I don't have any that's why. "
" Well, you do now, ill drive you the rest of the way."

" Well, you do now, ill drive you the rest of the way."
"But-"
"Don't even try. I'm giving you a ride home. Final"
Why is he being so nice to me. I'm just a no one. And why did he care that I was wearing a long sleeve shirt? Does he know?! Shit! I hope not.
We drive in silence the rest of the way to my house. And when we get there I see my mom walking out of the house with a scowl on her face. Oh no. No. No. No. I don't want another " lecture".

" Is that your mom?"
"...."
"Tom?" He looks terrified. "Hey." I touch his shoulder and he jumps and hits his head. "Woah! What's wrong? You look scared."
" Ow... It's nothing, but you should probably go. Thanks for the ride..." " No problem, you sure you will be okay?"
