Involved with the Bad Boy

Chapter 4

I walked out of the school at around five. Mrs Finn came to get us out of the store room after exactly four hours. The woman is just something else.

I was so hungry and Carol still wasn't here. She said she would come and get me.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drop you home. I really won't mind."

Austin offered again for the second time.

"Nah, just go ahead. Carol will be here anytime soon."

I said softly and he nodded walking towards his car. Detention with him wasn't so bad, except the part were he was trying to get even with me. He truly thinks I am into him.

But it wasn't boring like I thought it'd be. We didn't even notice how time flew by. I found out he has an eight year old sister and that his favourite colour is black. Well what other colour could a devil like him favour? He hates Mrs Hattson because she once accused him of selling drugs in school and even informed his dad about it.

I wanted to know more about his father but he kept avoiding the topic. He's really not so bad. My phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I checked the caller and it was Carol.

"Where are you Carol? I've been waiting for a while now and I think its going to rain anytime soon."

I scolded as I looked at the sky. It surely looked like it was going to rain. And I didn't even bring my coat with me.

"Sorry swiri but I can't come get you. I'm stuck with Eric and... Just ask Austin to drop you, okay? I have to go."

And with that she hung up. Just what I needed. Carol leaving me out here to go out with her long term crush. She always had a crush on him even though she was dating Alan. He probably asked her out and she couldn't let the opportunity of having him pass by.

The rain has started falling now and it was just getting heavier every minute. I could've just let Austin drop me. My phone rang again and I quickly checked the screen hoping Carol changed her mind but to my bad luck, it was mom calling. My word, I didn't even tell her I had detention. I answered the call.

"Hello mom."

I said loudly.

"Alice, where are you?"

She asked and I saw a car approaching. I figured it was the same car that left a while ago. Austin's car. He opened his window.

"Come on let's go. You'll get soaked."

Austin shouted so I could hear him and I just hope my mom didn't hear him.

"Alice who's that? Where are you? That's a man's voi-"

And my battery went dead. I quickly walked to the other side of the car and got in. I closed the door and gave out a sigh of relief. How could I even have gotten home?

I glanced at my phone. Mom is probably thinking I hung up on her. We don't really have the best relationship so I'm really worried about what will happen when I get home.

"Hey, you alright?"

I heard Austin ask as he took a glance at me.

"Jeah. Why do you ask?"

"I've been calling you for some time but you seemed lost in your thoughts."

He said and I just kept quiet. What was I even supposed to say? I gave him directions to my house although I didn't really want him to take me home. Atleast not at my door step.

"There are a lot of houses over here. Which one is yours?"

He asked reaching for something on the backseat.

"I'll just get out here thanks."

He just gave me a confused look and then tossed me a towel. I took it hesitantly and started drying myself.

"Didn't know I was this wet?"

I muttered trying to get rid of the awkward silence.

"I wish it was the other way round. I mean how can you not be wet when you have this extra sexy hot body next to you?"

He smirked motioning to himself and I glared at him. I didn't miss the innuendo in his words. He had been turning most of my words into his sexual jokes during detention. I gave him back the towel.

"So which one is your house?"

"It's not that far, I'll manage from here."

I answered.

"The rain still hadn't stopped you know."

He said and I looked through the window. It was raining much heavily now and I sighed in defeat. I showed him my house and he continued driving. None of us said a word since then. He stopped at my door step. He took off his coat and handed it to me. I shook my head no since I've already arrived home.

"You can bring it to school on monday."

I wore it and then got out of the car.

"Thanks."

I said before closing the door. He drove off and I walked towards the house. I turned the door knob but the door was locked. Thank God I have my keys with me. I unlocked the door and entered the house. I locked it and walked to the living room where I found my mom sitting on the sofa. Waiting for me obviously.

"It's seven in the evening and as far as I remember, your school knocks off at one on Fridays."

My mom scolded in a harsh tone as she stood up. This was the last thing I needed. Dealing with my mom.

"Well I had-"

I tried explaining.

"You had what? You've probably been sleeping with some random man you found in the street and decided to come back home when you felt like it."

She accused and I felt tears coming to my eyes.

That's not the case mom. I just had-"

Before I could explain, I felt a hard slap on my left cheek. She slapped me and that was enough to set me running upstairs to my room. And I didn't even stop the tears that were flowing on my cheeks. I just laid on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
