His Chase

07 | His Chase

"If you don't stop the car, I'm gonna hit you right on your smug ass face!!" Mabel says to him, gritting her teeth and clutching her bag closer to her chest. After her few futile attempts, She's sitting, forcefully across him on the passenger seat of his car with a question that she has already asked him for a hundred times but Skyler isn't a bit interested to even pay attention to it.

"If... you do that--" Skyler increases the speed.

"I will do that!! For sure!" She looks at him, bewildered.

He laughs, "My dear Mabel, I know that you will do that... but please have some trust on your friend." Him? My Friend? Who has come from nowhere to ruin my last year of high school?

She clenches her jaw, "Don't tell me that you are hungry and we are going to Starbucks again!!" He doesn't take his eyes off the road and keeps on driving. Till then her eyes figure out that they were leading into nowhere but into the woods, "Are you FUCKING kiddin' me!!" She panics, a couple of murder movies playing in her brain. 

She sees him sneering while turning the wheel, "Mabel... I don't like when you swear..."

"Skyler, Where you taking me?" She asks him slowly a little bit stress after looking outside the window.

His car halts of a sudden, so far jerking them with inertia. She screams with her eyes tightly closed, "ARE YOU PLANNING TO KILL ME!!"

"I'm too in this car." He narrows his eyes, unfastening his seatbelt.

She shoots a glare at him, her deep breathing slows down in rhythm within her as she sees his sumptuous smile. Is he really flashing me his million-trillion dollar smile in this sort of situation? He is definitely planning to get kill today with her bare hands. "Are you gonna stare at me for the whole afternoon or will you tell me that why did we stop between nowhere in this beautiful place? For Camping? For hiking? FOR WHAT!!"

"Hey, it's not a bad idea... just we don't have this camping stuff. Do you have the camping stuff...? I'm dying to have a wonderful trip with you, Mabel..." His smile glows with sarcasm.

In the same tone as his, She responds, "I wish... I was having those ropes...so it would have been easy to kill you without leaving any fingerprints of mine around your neck."

He smirks, bringing this sarcasm war to the brink.

She squints, "Why are we here? Why did you bring me here?"

"I brought you here just... so... I can keep looking at you for the whole noon... Isn't it romantic?" His eyes twinkle again with sarcasm. She cannot even rate till what level his answer was lame. She removes earphones from her bag and plugs it in, She drowns in the music, ignoring him and his lamest replies for the rest of the afternoon or till whenever. 

Fading into the music, She keeps the volume max so his voice won't interrupt the melody. She looks at his side once and he gestures me to remove my earphones, I see him mouthing something.... gibberish!

"I can't hear you... sorry!!" She says absolutely ignoring him, she slightly giggles as she finds him getting worked up. He pulls out her earphones just after a second, "HEY!! What's your problem?" She tries to take it back but he pulls it closer to him. "Give it back!"
