falling for the bad boy

- Neko -

Thank god she made it in time. It was never about a race, however a rumor was spreading around the school like wildfire. There is supose to be an angry emo kid with a gun near where Austin lives. I knew it sounded fake..But just in case I wanted to make sure he- they got here in time so nothing bad happens. 

"did you hear that?!" A random blonde chick yells.

"what was that?"

"THE RUMOR" some geek kid runs and screams "HE'S HERE"

I quickly run towards Austin and Riya and grab their hands, Heading toward the city bridge in Chandler. 

We made it to a near by empty street under the city bridge. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" Riya exclaims as she yanks away from me. She stands there with her arms across her chest. I start to blush a little as I realize I was still holding Austin's hand. I push his hand away and turn while coughing the other direction. 

"saving your life" I respond while I eye down my baby sister.

"FROM WHAT?"

"from a bullet you moron. Now come on, the safest place right now is under the bridge."

"No. Way. I don't believe you. This is just another one of your stupid jokes, Neko."

I don't respond. I just grab Riya by the legs and swing he on my shoulder. Shes so tiny T ^ T. Austin is following me. I can tell he's staring at me, but I hesitate to look. Riya is hardly kicking my back while swinging her arms. For a tall, Muscular senior, I look like an adult man. Riya is short and skinny, she looks like a 10 year old. People are going to get the wrong idea. I get a few unwelcome stares from people who step out there homes to see the noise. "stop it, before you draw attention"

"RA-"

I cover her mouth and say "I will let you down if you follow me and shut up."

"fine.."

We head under the bridge. we sit in the dry dirt as I pull out a cigarette from my back pocket and light it. "you know-that's bad for your lungs.." Austin mumbles. It's almost like he's scared of me. "Ya. I know. It's not like I have much of a future."

"well-"

"don't Austin, and untuck your shirt, you look like a grandpa."

"uhm-"

Riya steps in, "alright Neko enough harassing my boyfriend."  

She emphasizes on "the boyfriend" Part. Almost likes she is claiming something. I don't know why but that seemed to anger me a bit.. A couple hours pass. Those two are complaining like babies about curfew and that they need to go home. I call one of my friends to come pick us up. Just in case. My friend Diego arrives. The car stinks of weed. I hop into the front as Riya and Austin sit uncomfortably in the back seat. There's no seat belts so they just make them selves feel safe. Diego starts to blast Post Malone. I turn the radio down. "dude, your going to draw attention"

"Mannnn...chilllll...Your never this lame at parties"

"HA I KNEW YOU WHERE OUT AT PARTIES. OOOOO YOUR SO DEAD WHEN I TELL MOM." Riya yells excitedly. 

"shut your big mouth up."

I can tell Diego extremly high right now. Thank god where almost home.
