Drive // Mitchel Cave

Chapter Eleven ~ She's not Coming

We got to music class and I sat down next to Christian. I kept fidgeting and I guess they noticed it. A lot.

"What's up with her?" Clinton asked towards Mitchell.

"She met Iris today." He said annoyed.

When I heard her name, I couldn't do anything but smile because of how lovely she is.

"Oh... Iris..." Christian dragged on, smirking.

"Isn't she so hot, like, how can someone be so fucking beautiful and want to talk to me!? I'm so fugly and she's so... Damn!" I ranted on to myself while the boys sat, amused.

"Can I invite her to tonight?" I asked permission from the boys.

"No!" Mitchel exclaimed.

"But why, Mitty?" Christian dragged, again.

"Because, I said no, so it's a no." Mitchel said with an annoyed tone.

I scoffed at him and turned the other direction, not facing him. I love the kid but, why was he so mad all of a sudden? I kept hearing Mitch mumbling to Christian.

"She's not coming!" I heard Mitchel say quite loudly to Christian.

He was being to annoying it got on my nerves, Luckily, Clinton was on the other side of me. I looked at him and mouthed 'What's his problem?' He shrugged and shook his head, indicating for me to let it go. Even though you could cut the tension with a knife, I dropped it.

Finally, class ended and I took my time getting my things so that I could talk to Christian, alone. He walked past me and I grabbed his wrist, pulling him to me. I looked at him, with an urgent look on my face; he knew what this was about.

We let the brothers walk ahead of us by a ways so that they wouldn't hear what Christian and I were conversing about.

"What did I do wrong, Kras?" I say in a low tone.

He wrapped his arm around my neck, bringing us closer together while rubbing his hand on my shoulder.

"He wants time with you, Haze. He doesn't want you running off with Iris because he wants to be able to be alone with only you." He states.

My heart fluttered when I heard him say that.

'He wants me? Alone?' I asked myself

I looked up at Christian and smiled. He smiled back down at me and we both started heading towards their garden.

I opened the gate, making Christian walk in front of me. I saw Mitchel standing in the corner, admiring the roses. I walked over to him and I knew he felt my presence because he turned around and looked at me.

"Don't worry, you're the only rose I want." I said trying to bring up the mood a little bit.

He smiled and brought me in for a hug.

"I'm sorry for blowing up on you." He whispered in my ear.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry. It's not my right to invite someone to something you asked me to come to." I let go of his embrace and looked at him.

"Hey. It's alright. Let's not focus on that." He says and sends me a warm smile.

"Yah, let's focus on the fact that we're performing a secret song tonight and you still don't have the lyrics down all the way." Christian buts in with a chuckle.

I jumped and laughed at him. Mitchel got a little scared but kept his cool.

"Oh shit, that's right!" Mitchel panicked.

"What's the song called?" I asked

"Moonlight." Clinton said.

"Oh, pretty." I smiled.

"You wanna hear a bit of it?" Mitchel asked.

I nodded my head and he brought out his phone. He played a small snippet of it and it was beautiful. They had such a way with words to make it so soothing to listen to. No wonder it was called 'Moonlight'; it made me think of dancing in the moonlight.

My eyes brightened and my heart raced.

"I'm guessing you like it?" Clinton questioned.

"I love it! Are you kidding me!?" I exclaimed.

"Good." They said firmly

That surprised me but I let it slide. We heard the bell ring and started heading to the gate. I opened it and let everyone through. I closed it behind me and caught up to the others. We went our separate ways to class but constantly texted each other throughout the day.
