Looking over my shoulder well I'm walking I don't see Chase any where. I was hoping he would be walking again today but he's no where to be found. Usually he walks with me but I guess I'm on my own today.
"You must a new girl" A redhead at my bus stop says. "My name's Cathern what's yours?"
"I'm Alison but you can call me ally"
" Okay ally nice to meet you do you go to HV or st Mac's"
"I go to HV you?"
"Mac's"
"Coolio" I say, the conversation getting awkward. "Oh here's my bus" making a mental note to avoid Cathern I climb the stairs of the bus preparing myself for the awkward homeroom with Chase, and hoping he doesn't regret kissing me.
...
"Alison!" A familiar voice shouts from behind me. Turning around I feel my face flush as Chase walks towards me.
"Yes?" I say questionably lightly happy he's still talking to me.
"Why are you saying that as a question?"
"Oh, um" I stumble on my words not knowing what to say "I didn't know if you were going to talk to me today"
"What? Why wouldn't I talk to You?"
"Because. Um. Because"
"Oh, its because we kissed isnt it" he says a hint of sadness in his voice. Lowering my head in shame I manage to whisper out a small
"Yeah. I'm sorry"
"Oh no babe it's fine don't be upset. I understand." He says in a caring tone. "And besides with this sexy man kissing you it's okay to be surprised" he adds with a seductive smirk.
"Come on" I say giggling like a child "Lets go to homeroom" nodding he lets me lead the way, feeling eyes the whole time I look back giving him a bashful smile and walk with a new found confidence.
...
First period drones on like a down ward spiral taking my emotions with it. By the end of the class I feel stupid and depressed; math class is my worse subject. I just want to play my trumpet and go home.
"Hey Alison, want to hangout for the break?" Chase says
"Sure, I know a cool spot"
"Where?"
"Follow me" I respond walking down the hallway towards the stairs. The stairs I'm leading him to are painted colourful and for some reason that makes me happy.
"I like this staircase" I say "I don't know what it is but I do" I say trying not to second guess myself before I change my mind.
"Its nice" he says "I mean it, I like it here"
"Well this is where I spend my breaks"
"Maybe I could join you"
"That would be nice" I say shyly
...
The end of the day rolls around and I quickly grab my jacket and sprint outside to chase's car. Leaning against the cool metal I wait for him to arrive. Then I see him. He's taking pictures of the park beside student parking and walking back he notices a person on his car. At first he's confused until he realizes it's me. A sly smile creeps onto his face and he points his camera towards me snapping a quick picture before putting it away.
"What are ya doing on my car?"
"Oh yanno just getting comfy" I say "Its a nice car"
"Its a cheap car, I do live in saint John you know" he responds sounding amused.
"Ya wanna go somewhere?"
"Yeah, get in"
...
Chase drives quickly down the road towards the West side.
"So where are we going?" I ask clutching the seat while my fingers turn white.
"You'll see" he says turning down a dead end road. "Here we are"
"But there's nothing here"
"Come on I'll show you." He says opening the door and grabbing his camera from the backseat. Walking into the woods I gather my courage and follow him. If he wanted to kill me he'd have done it by now. Right?
Opening the door of his car I grab my phone just in case and jog into the trees to meet him.
"Wait up" I yell. Catching up to him I take a couple deep breaths and say "yanno this would be a great place to hide a body" Looking at me first in shock then with a weird look kind of like hes, proud of me?
"Yeah. It is. Well I think it is."
"So why did you bring me here what's the plan?" I question lightly feeling slightly anxious but trying not to portray it in my voice.
"Oh right." He says simply looking down at his empty hands as if remembering he didn't bring anything to do with him "let's just go for a walk and check out the trees this is one of my favourite spots."
"Um, okay"
...
Hours pass of me and chase just walking through the trees. At least it seems like hours, the sky is only slightly darker and the sun hasn't gone too much farther into the sky so I'm not sure if I'm correct there, but this place gives me a bad feeling. The farther into the trees he leads me the harder my legs struggle to turn back. My stomach is turned into tight knots and my head pounds with anxiety. Nothing bad is happening but my bodies reaction tells me to get out.
"Well it's getting late I should probably get home soon"
"Yeah you're right. Um, let's go" he says turning back towards his car, looking at me like I know too much even though he brought me here.
It took no time to get out even though it felt like hours to get in, we were only gone for a hour in total, where did the time go?
