His Way or The Highway

Chapter 2

The bell rang, meaning that school is finally over! I stood up and grabbed my bookbag and walked out of my classroom. Luke as been on my mind all day. Why the hell was someone chasing him? What did he do? Is he in some gang or something? Some many unanswered questions. 

I silently walk down that not so silent hallway. Everyone trying to squeeze through the tiny hallway excited to leave this hell hole. 

"Shauna! Are you fucking deaf?!" 

"Maybe she has her headphones in?"

"I dont see any headphones!" 

"Well Excuse me! All I did was just give my input!"

I turned around and saw three of my best friends, Damien, Nicole and Micheal or as I call them... Dam, Nicky and Mickey. 

"HA! No Headphones Dam!" Nicky said proudly proving she was right.

"All i did was give my input!" Dam play shouted in defense.

"Guys, just stop." Mickey tried to reason with those two.

"Shut up Mick!" Nicky shouted at him.

"Yeah Mick!" Dam said in agreement.

"Hey! Don't be mean to Mickey! Poor Mickey." I side hugged Mickey who fake cried on my shoulder. which was kinda hard since im 5'2 and he's 5'9. 

"Oh Mick! Stop that!" Nicky said calling his bluff.

"No, you hurt my feelings." Mickey fake cried.

"Im sorry Mick." Dam said and patted Mickey's back. 

"Thank you Dam!" Mickey said happily.

I laughed at all their weirdness. "You guys! What did you need me for? I needa go."

"Oh! IM SORRY!" Dam said sarcasticly. "DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE TOO BUSY FOR US!"

We laughed and I tapped him on the nose. "Hush up, you know I have to go pick up my brother." 

"But his school doesnt get out for another hour." Nicky said.

"Hon... Thats the middle school... Clark is in Elementary... He's waiting for me in his after school progaam." I reminded her.

"But He can be there till 5! Come hang out with us for a bit!"

"Nicky... I wish I could but I can't keep him waiting."

"Then take us!" Mickey said trying to help out her.

I chuckle. "Yeah cause there is room of all of you in my truck." 

"Dam and Nick can sit in the bed of your truck!" 

"HEY!" The boys shouted in unison. 

I shook my head. " I don't know..."

"Come on! It's not like anyone is waiting for you at home!"

It's been years and yet the reminder still hurts. "But I gotta make dinner for Clark." 

"I could eat." Dam said and rubbing his belly.

I groan. "Fine..."

They cheered and we all walked to my truck. "God you guys are needy."

Dam held his chest. "I'm so hurt!"

"How could you Shawn?" Mickey said and held his. "I'm mad at you." 

"What?! You guuys!" I whinned and made a puppy face.

"I can't do it!" Dam said in defeat and hugged me tightly. "That face is too cute."
