Be Patient... Please.

Chapter 2

I started walking faster in an attempt to get away from the tall boy, but he just matched my pace. It's hard to walk faster then someone with legs that are double your height. Why is he so goddamn tall? I sigh, again maybe too loud. He looks over at me and raises an eyebrow.

"You never answered my question," He said "are you okay?"

God... I can't make friends. Not again. It's probably better if I keep my distance. No need to get close to him.

"Fine," I hesitantly say. "thanks"

I'm going to try to stay colder towards him. I have no reason to be kind to this boy.

"You sure your okay?" He asked. "You seemed very shaken up before."

"Like I said, I'm perfectly fine" I quickly say. "I have nothing wrong, I was just surprised by Travis is all."

I don't like lying but I kind of have too at this point. I can't exactly say that I was frightened and want to go home and cry. Plus I don't feel a need to share my personal information to a random classmate.

"Hey, you there?" He asked "You seem very lost in thought." 

"Like I said, I'm completely fine." I say with a sigh. "Nothing is wrong." I try to walk a bit faster but again, he catches up in just a few steps. Again, I sigh. We're about to reach the apartments and I realize that guy is still walking beside me. Huh... Maybe he lives there too? Hopefully not... I don't need him walking with me to school. I usually leave late so that's probably why I haven't seen him yet... I also usually leave the school late to avoid seeing people. But My dad is bugging me too get home on time and to stop being late to first period... so if he lives in the apartments then i'll be forced to walk with him... Fuck.

"Do you live in the apartments?" I cover my mouth. Shit... that was sudden what if he gets mad at me for abruptly asking where he lives... I made another mista-

"Yeah I do." He says calmly. "I live in the apartments with my mother, she's very kind."

"It's good that she's raising you correctly." Sally. you cant trust him or his mother, but you might as well be nice...

"Yeah, She's an amazing mother" He stares into the sky. "I don't deserve her."

Before I could respond the tall boy had cut me off.

"We're here." He said. "Ill see you later"

He then walked into the elevator. I decided to get in the one after him to avoid awkward elevator conversation. 

"See ya" I hesitantly say. "Have a good day."

His elevator then heads down and it comes back up for me to enter. I walk inside and press my designated floor. The elevator music annoyingly ringing at my ears until I hear the loud noise to signify my floor has been reached. I walk into my apartment to see my dad and a random lady on the couch. I also notice that the house had been cleaned up, my note was gone, and the glass on the table was empty. This must be one of my dads new friends he was talking about. She had brown long hair and a skinny figure. They seemed to be lost in conversation and didn't notice me walk inside. Before they noticed I was there I heard the woman say, 

"I'm worried about my son, he seems to not be socializing lately. He needs some new people to talk to." She worryingly said. " Maybe we should introduce him to Sa-"

She cut herself off as she noticed I was in the doorway.

"Well hiya!" She enthusiastically said. "Are you Sally?"

"U-uhm, yes ma'am." I stutter. "I'm S-Sal." Well shoot. Iv'e already embarrassed myself in-front of my dads new friend... I nod at the nice lady and quickly try to walk into my room. But once again, I don't to be alone. I'm stopped by the brown haired lady.

"Hey Sally?" She asks. "Would you like to meet my son?"

Not particularly, but I don't want to be rude... "U-uhm sure." I said. "Sounds nice." 

"Alright," She stands in front of me holding a card. "Take this card and use it to go to the basement." She says. "Just go down the hall down there and go inside. You don't have to knock, just head right in and introduce yourself."

"A-alright," I start walking back to the front door. "I'll be back dad."

I walk out the front door and head back to the elevator. Once again my head is full of the old elevator music. I put the card inside the slot under the basement button, I then press the button and the elevator starts to lower. As I reach the floor, again, the loud ring tells me I had arrived. I walk through a long hallway full of boxes and a vending machine. I finally reach a door that was cracked open a bit. This must be the place... I hesitantly walk into the door. It was a small cozy, dirty living room. There was a small coffee table and a couch. It looked so... normal. So... comfortable. I looked around and found a door that said "KEEP OUT" I'm assuming that's her sons room. I slowly start walking towards the room. I stood in-front of the door, to frightened to open it. I step backwards and think, I wonder what this guy is like... I won't trust him, like always. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to introduce myself. I don't want to be his friend, but I might as well be polite and say hello.

I put my hand on the doorknob.

And I open the door.
