Chapter 9: Michael’s P.O.V.

I walked Sam to her next class after her lunch. Her book bag was slung over my shoulder as she dug through her purse.

“Lunch was pretty intense.” I told her.

“You basically missed it all.”

“No. I saw most of it. I was trying to fight my way through the crowd.”

“Stupid crowds.” She mumbled, still digging.

“Were you scared?” I asked.

“At first. But not really. Luke and Ashton were there. They could take him easily.”

            “And Vanessa.”

“Yeah. And Vanessa.” She laughed.

“May I ask what you’re looking for?”

“My house keys. I could’ve sworn I put them in here this morning.”

Crap… “Maybe you forgot them on the counter.” Actually I did.

“No. I don’t think so. I locked the door before I left.”  I didn’t.

“You sure about that?”

“Yes… No… Maybe…”

“Don’t worry. If you forgot them the door will be unlocked. If you didn’t then you can use the spare key.” Why didn’t I just do that?

“Yeah. You’re right.”

“I’ll see after school then? And walk you home?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright. Have a good rest of the day.”

“You too.” She said taking her bag back from me.

I watched as she went and then hurried to my next class.

At the end of the day I waited outside of the school at the red brick wall. She was a few minutes late or I was a few minutes early. Probably the latter.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.” She told me. “You could’ve went on home.”

“No. I couldn’t of.” She gave me a strange look. “Remember the second day of second grade?” I asked her but still received a strange look.
