Chapter seven : Try a little Fear

I was just about to close my locker and go to class, when i met Cassie 

"Meli baby, i'm so so sorry, please don't be mad, i didn't want to leave but you know steven he convinced me it was so important and i had to go." she said

"Good morning Cassie, i'm fine and you ? " I teased

she looked at me frowning then i said : " Don't worry , it's okay ". she then smiled and asked me

"so how did you get home, did you find a cab easily, i'm asking because i know you suck at it "

"Oh yeah, well i didn't need a cab , someone gave me a ride", I thought hiding who gave me the ride would avoid me so many questions and silly remarks , but Cassie being the curious girl she always was asked me ,"Who was it ?"

"Esteban..."

"No way, this is litterally awsome you should thank me , so tell me how was it ?what did you guys do ? and what did he say ?,someone please save me.

"Well it was quite normal , he just saw me and-", I was cut off by the bell signaling class was about to start, Yes thank you !!!, "I'll tell you later , we now have to go ",and the teacher entered the classroom, Esteban was this time sitting next to Melanie at the front row i have to say i didn't like it but who was i to even think about it this way.

I was completely focused on what the teacher was saying about some kind of acids when i felt someone pinch me trying to get my attention , it was Cassie.

"what ?" i asked

"i need to know, tell me what happened yesterday and give me all the juicy details " she answered smirking

"come on Cassie not now, i need to hear what Mr.heathers is saying , it's on monday's exam" i told her slightly annoyed

"no Mel, you know i'm curious , if you don't wanna talk, send me a text and write down everything that happened yesterday" she said

I looked at her and knew she was set on knowing everything so i took my phone out and started writing what happened , it was quite long and just when i came to the part where the delivery guy gives me his phone number, someone took my phone away, and guess who it was ? 

Mr.heathers...

Haven't i told you, i had a a great luck...

"Detention" the teacher said, it was all he said, which ment i shouldn't even try to convince him to not give me detention, then he just turned around and continued class, I looked at Cassie blaming her and she mouthed 'Sorry'.

Few hours later...

Hell !!! it was so annoying, and boring, and tiring, and shit, it's dark !!

well i didn't shout it on the rooftops but i was scared from the dark, not just scared, i would say terrorised...I wasn't able to stay alone in the dark since that day one man from my mom's gang came home trying to take some money away from her and she wouldn't give it away , i was really young but i still remember everything : I was in the living room with Caleb and we were watching some friday movie we liked, the lights were off and that guy named Tyler opened the door without even knocking, i started to scream and i tried to run away so he catched me, he was so giant , well built and tall, i felt tiny in comparison with him. Mom came down when she heard me screaming and started to talk to the guy while i was trying to get away from his arms and my brother was too shocked to even move, Tyler took out something from his back and put it on my temple , it was hard and cold , it was a gun , i didn't know what it was back then so i didn't care and i kept trying to get out from his arms when mom threw something over my head , it was probably what he was looking for because when he saw it he just let me go and went out of the house as if nothing had happened. Since that night i was always afraid of him coming back from nowhere and aiming that gun at me , i know it was nonsense but i was frightened, and i never slept or stayed alone in the dark again, Caleb knew it all of course so he always tried to make me overcome my fear but i was never able to , therefore he never left me in the dark alone , but this time i was at the high school's entrance and it was dark, and there was no way i would be in a cab with someone i don't know in these circumstances, I called Caleb but all i heard was ' your contact is not available right now you can leave a message after the beep......beeeeeeep' 

Even though i knew Caleb never heard one of his voice mails i gave it a try and told him i'll be waiting for him to come, well i had no other option.

I waited for an hour, but it only gotten darker so i chose to walk and i already left thousands of voice mails for Caleb but nothing he didn't come, I walked my way to the house it was pretty cold and i wasn't wearing enough clothes and i hadn't brought my jacket , and there i was feeling cold and lonely , quite pathetic though..

I was completely freezing when i suddenly remembered that Esteban was actually living next to me and it wouldn't be a big deal if i asked him for a ride, would it ?

I took my phone out, typed the message because i had no more credit and sent it . i stayed near the supermarket i said i would be at , and waited for over half an hour when i saw a bike stop in front of me, and i felt like i knew who the rider was and it suddenly hit me !!!

it was Laken...

" hey , what are you doing here ?" i asked , i hadn't ment it to come out harsh but i guess i was just tired .

" Um , you actually sent me a text message to come pick you up " he answered 

I started saying while checking my phone, " No way , i sent it to- " , crap, i sent it to laken instead of Esteban ...

"i'm sorry if i disturbed you i actually made a mistake in sending the text i hope i haven't caused any trouble " i apologised 

"No don't worry it's okay i had nothing to do , and i wanted to see you anyway so this was my chance" he retorted smiling, but i kept silent for a while when i asked : "so you still need that ride ?" 

I looked at the bike and i have to say i was dying to try it, i forgot to actually say i was a total fan of bikes i hadn't had one because of Caleb but i still rode sometimes my friend's bike or steven's when he still had it, i remember when i first asked him to ride, he was so nervous about me breaking something, that it was funny but still annoying, but he had been quite impressed when he saw that i knew how to handle it .

"Yeah sure i'd love to " , and i got on the bike behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist, and i have to say it felt so good, my heart was racing and my palms wattered , but i quickly enjoyed the ride even though i hadn't known him very much , but i still knew him , didn't I ?

when we arrived home, he helped me get off the bike and take the helmet off , then he looked at me and started laughing , i stared not knowing what it was until i touched my head and understood why, My hair was such a mess , all the curls were intertwined into each others , it should probably look really funny and i was embarrassed and in an instant i started bushing, he then stoped laughing and hepled straighten the curls, which only made me blush harder.

" Thanks for the ride, i'm sorry for disturbing" i said trying to forget about his intense blue eyes and looking at some trees at the other side of the street, "it's okay, i'm glad i could help next time i hope you will call me so we can hang out , anyway now i have your number, i'll call you if you don't and i'll turn into some kind of stalker " he said , I looked at him shocked when he added " calm down, i was just kidding don't worry ",he said casually but i saw some kind of hurt falsh within his sweet blue eyes, that's when i smiled and told him :" Sure i'll call, but next time , i'll be the one riding the bike "

He looked surprised but then anounced smiling : " As long as there's another time with you, you will have the awsome chance to ride my baby bike "

We then said goodbye and each one went in different ways. But when i turned around i saw someone looking at me from the other side of the street , and it was ......Esteban ? he looked so hot in that shirt, but when i was about to wave at him , he turned away and walked towards his house ,i got frustrated for few seconds then just headed to mine.
