Chapter 12
By the look on her face, she wasn't as happy as I was to be here. Though I couldn't tell much by the look she was sending me, I could tell that there was something deeper going on with her. Lianna was like a ticking bomb in some aspects. It was pretty obvious what she would do. She'd just explode if things didn't go her way. But in other aspects, she was completely off the grid. I couldn't even pinpoint what she could be planning inside that head of hers.
It bothered me to know that she'd become fixated on me. Maybe I was getting in over my head. She could still be riding on the high she got when she'd showed me Zoey sucking on Jack. That had been the moment I knew I couldn't trust her. It had nothing to do with what the other kids were saying about her. I'd been hearing that shit since the beginning of high school.
She looked down at me. Her brows furrowed and the edges of her mouth pulled down into a frown. It deepened as her eyes flickered up. I looked to where her gaze was directed. I saw just the end of the hall. Riley and Liza had just turned the corner when I looked up.
That might have been the problem. I didn't want to think about it.
"Are you going to go back to her?"
I looked down at my feet. "You make it sound like she's my ex."
She snorted. "Abusive I should add."
I shook my head and tightened my hold on the strap of my bag. "It's not like that. We're best friends."
"Best friends don't talk shit about each other."
It was my turn to raise a brow. "What are you talking about?"
This time she didn't blurt out her thoughts. She twisted the cuff of her jacket with her forefinger and thumb. The edge of the frayed fabric was falling apart in her hand, but she kept pulling on it. "I hear things. It doesn't matter. Let's go."
She turned on her heel and went out of the cafeteria doors. I went after her while throwing a glance behind my shoulder. There was no one in the cafeteria except the lunch people. They weren't paying attention.
I chased after her with only one fleeting thought on my mind. It was about social studies and how if I wasn't in my seat in the next three minutes Liza wasn't going to give me another chance.
But Lianna was looking back at me like I would be dumb if I went back.
The excitement thumbing through my body felt more like pumping my entire bloodstream with adrenaline. It felt like I'd wolfed down a bunch of pills to get high and this was just the beginning affects.
Lianna had that same angry look on her face, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it would be if I turned my back on her again. Liza could wait.
I still had time
The hallway was dim lit and deserted as it usually was. While the main part of the school had been renovated during the last two years, this hallway and all the classrooms on this side had been left alone. It was the reason why no one used these rooms except when there was a function that needs more rooms such as the Debate and Forensics. As if some force from above could read my thoughts, a gust of cold air fell over me. I crossed my arms and rubbed my open palms over my exposed arms.
Must be from an open air vent. No need to get scared.
Even as I said that I couldn't calm down the chattering of my teeth. Lianna turned back at me and slowed her walking.
"Getting scared?"
I glared at her. "Tell me where we're going."
"The gym."
