The Bad boy with wings

"Its him"

I hadn't noticed it until now but sitting in my last period class I realized ace has been in my class the whole semester and I had never realized it. How could I had not seen him before. Now you would think that a bad boy would be the class clown of the loud mouth at the back of the room that is always getting told off by the teacher, but surprisingly ace was the exact opposite he was the one at the back of the class that made no noise what so ever. Throughout the whole class all I could think about was him. If it was really him holding me after the fire. Replaying the situation over and over again in my head trying to figure it out.

"Ring ring ring"
That was the bell of our final class. The one that says schools done for the day get the hell out of here!

As I was walking out still thinking about the night of the fire when I got cut off by my teacher and my view of ace disappeared.

"Lexi hey" it was my.brown. Just great perfect timing. Ugh and ace was gone!

"Auu hey Mr.brown"

"So lexi I was just wondering if everything is ok? You seemed a little off in class today. And I heard about the fire at the pizzaria"

"Oh um yes everything is fine. I'm just feeling a little bit tired that's all" trying to cover up that I really needed to go.

"Well if you need anyone or something is bothering you. You can tell me"

"Oh a yes for sure. Thanks so much I will make sure to tell you if anything is bothering me"

"Ok. Have a great night lexi"

"You to mr.brown"

I rushed out of the class and searched the halls as I passed by hoping that just maybe ace would some how be still in the school. But he wasn't. There was no sign of him at all. I pulled out my phone and texted cam and asked him to some and pick me up.

"Hey where did you go?" It was James.

"Oh hey James. Why are you still here?"

"Hey I asked you first."He said in a teasing manner

"Wow thanks James. And mr.brown was just checking up on me to see how I was doing after the fire at the pizzeria"

"Oh yeah. And how are you doing? That sure was a crazy night"

"Yeah it was" trying to cover up that I knew how i got out

He looked at me weird after I spoke

"What do you know" he said in a suspicious voice

"What do you mean" I said in a more up beat voice to make it seem like I was more confused

"Do you know how you got out?"

"No I wish I knew but all I can remember was the last few seconds of me being inside"

"Oh.well I'm sure you crawled your way out or something. And maybe just didn't remember doing it" James spoke in a reassuring voice

"Yeah maybe" I looked down at my phone and there was a text message from cam but before I could read it james got my attention

"Hey listen I need to tell you something" this time james was speaking in a low serious voice

"Um sure what is it james" I was curious. It was rare that James talks in such a serious voice. It was almost like he had been holding on to what he had to say for so long that he was almost having a tough time getting the words out

"Listen I've been meaning to say it for a while but.... I"

"Beep beep... get in here where going to get ice cream!!" Cam shouted out from his car as he opened the door

James and I both walked to the car.
"I got shotgun I yelled to James as I ran to the front seat"

We both got into the car and cam blared the music.

"So what did you have to tell me james?"

"Oh um never mind I'll just tell you later" he kinda had a dull expression on his face

"Ok sounds good" I needed to confront ace. I had my chance today and I got distracted. I need to ask him I need and answer. I know what I saw. I know it was him. But what I can't figure out is how I got out. It was so fast and the fire heat just went away in the blink of an eye. No run or walk could be that fast.

"What are you thinking about?" It was cam that was asking this time

"Um I was just thinking about the fire, I'm just trying to figure out how I got out. I just can't get my brain rapped around it you know?"

" yeah I know the feeling. You'll figure it out eventually. It's really no big deal though . Who cares I mean your alive that's all that matters right"

"Yeah I guess your right" I know that cams right. I shouldn't stress about it so much. And in fact why was I stressing about it so much.
I feel a certain connection to ace. I don't know what it means but there's just something about him. The moment I layed eyes on him.

"Pretty good ice cream am I right?" Cam asked as he shoves his face in his triple scoop mint chocolate ice cream

"Yeah it is pretty good" James was speaking this time. It had been at least 30 minutes since James had said anything .

"Hey james are you ok. You seem more down?" Was it me. Did he have something really important to tell me and I just blew him off like he was some little nobody.

"Yeah I'm fine.its just this English report that's due tomorrow. And I haven't even gotten started so I should probably get back soon"

"Yeah James is right I got some homework to do as well" cam spoke

"Ok let's go" I agreed. I didn't have any homework for the night. I was likely just going to do my usual. Wright in my diary watch a few episodes of gosssip girl and call it a night.

We all got in the car and drove home. Each going our separate ways"

"Goodnight"

" Goodnight" I hugged James good bye. That's what we did every time one of us left the other in the summer.

James house was only a few houses down from my house

I waved cam good bye
