Rescued From Myself

Chapter 4

I walk through the front doors of the school spotting Jason standing on the last step of the stairs. I move towards him as he looks up and give me a smile. I feel my heart stop beating for a second.

"Hey, how're you feeling?"

"I'm better. Thanks"I smile back shyly. I still don't understand why he wouldn't just let me do the assignment alone or why he is paying so much attention to me.

"I was thinking we should go to my house to start up the assignment. But I think you should rest so we can start when you're ready."

"No,no I'm fine. We can start today, I'm fine with that." I'm not but I don't want to look weak in front of him.

"Good. Let's go, my car's over there." He points towards an area in the parking lot.

"My car's here too. I can't leave it."

"How bout I go with you in your car, Ayo will take mine."He suggests. He wants to ride with me. In my crappy old car compared to the beautiful machinery called a car that he drives. This is probably a dream. This is definitely a dream.

"Uh..um..I-uh..sure" I stammer.

He laughs making some people look at us.

"You're cute when you do that." His smile not wavering.

I feel a wave of heat across my cheek. I look at the floor hoping nobody else heard him day that, but by the whispers starting to erupt my hope dies.

What game are you playing Jason Strong?

"Lead the way cherry." He says standing upright.

"Cherry?" I say questioningly as I start moving.

"Yh, that's what I'm going to start calling you. You blush a lot and your face turns red like a cherry."

"I don't think I like the name." I say unlocking my car when I see it in the distance.

"Yeah well,I don't think I care cherry." He winks at me.

I see Ayo and his girlfriend near my car making out. Jason must have texted him but how did he know where my car was? Was he stalking me

Pfft yeah right.

"Hey Hazel." Ayo greets me as we get to them.

I wave shyly. Glancing at the girl against me giving me a dirty look. She's one of Stacey's friends. I didn't expect less.

I walk to the drivers side of the car and get in while I wait for Jason to come in. He opens the door and is about to enter when he yells at Ayo and Charlotte:"And don't even think about trying any stunts in my car man, I just changed the leather."

My face turns red when I realize what he meant my 'stunts'.

He buckles himself in and turns to me to find me staring at him.

"You know if you want to kiss me you can just say so."

My face turns red again. Curse my rate of blushing.

I whip my head forward and clear my throat before starting the car.

"Just tell me your address." I try and say calmly, my voice going higher than usual as he continues laughing.

My life is a fucking mess.
* * * * *
I have never been Jason's house,never even heard the address,all I knew about it was that it was the 'rich people' side of town.

I drive by houses that were two times bigger than mine considering the fact that I live in a moderately comfortable home.

I get to front of the building which has a big black gate in front of it. Jason makes a call and the gates swing open revealing a path and which has perfectly trimmed plants on either sides of it as it goes down even ahead of the building. It looks like a small estate. This guy is rich. No not rich,wealthy.
