Unidentified

Chapter 2

As soon as school finished, I rushed to my locker and packed up my things to take home. I closed my locker and turned to leave the locker bay. Instead of leaving the bay, I was blocked by a figure.

"Your locker isn't locked." The figure told me. It was Oscar again.

"Are you some kind of stalker?" I asked him quietly.

"Nah, not always." Oscar replied grinning. He locked my lock for me and turned back around to face me again.

"Just to girls that don't want any company?" I said back. He grinned at me again.

"You look like someone who needs it."

"How would you know?" I fired back.

"Dark, mysterious girl that shuts everyone out? You may not want company but I'm going to give it to you." Oscar told me.

"Are you just?" I questioned him, raising an eyebrow.

"Yup," he said. "Now let's go.". Not bothering to ask if he could accompany me, he started walking out of school with me. As much as it pains me to admit, it was better than walking alone.

As we were walking he asked where I lived. Convinced that he wasn't a serial killer, I told him my address. We walked to my house and he dropped me off.

"So, this is your house?" He asked me.

"No, this is not my house." I told him sarcastically, "I told you I lived here for the fun of it.". He laughed.

"You're funny"

"I'd always thought so." I said to him with my usual poker face. Oscar smiled at me.

"See you tomorrow Scarlett."

"See you."

He turned and walked onwards, out of my driveway.

I got a strange feeling. Like a rush of affection for Oscar.

No. You can't think that way. You can't trust anyone. From now on, I'm not going to let Oscar King get to me. I'm not going to let him inside of my head.

I ran inside and laid on my bed, deep in thought. I called Jackson and we talked for hours. Jackson understood me, every side of me. I'm glad that one person gets me, but I can't afford to make anyone else. I heard the front door open as my brother Kayne walked in the house. I told Jackson I had to go and ran to help Kayne with all of his bags.

I hope I can keep my life to myself forever.
