Lost hope

Chapter three

"Oh my god Daniel we're so going to get in trouble." My eyes gazed over the school. Daniel brought us to a damn roof! Like oh my gosh.

"Calm down girly, I do this every day." I bit my lip at his words, I've never skipped class before. I'm kinda a straight A student.

"So uh, Leila." My eyes met Daniels as I cocked my eyebrows indicating him to talk.

"I know you don't really know me and stuff but would you like to come to the dance with me. Friday. Together." I smiled at how adorable he was trying to ask me out.

But my eyes wasn't on him, or well- I don't know. Alex seems really nice though.

"I'm sorry I can't, my dad is really strict about this kind of stuff you know?" Daniel nodded in response and I lightly squeezed his arm as he smiled.

Daniels phone rang, "Dude where are you." The other voice spoke, Alex.

"Hey buddy, I'm at the secret spot with Leila." Daniel winked at me which made me look away. Remember he's just really flirty it's his personality. "Why are you with her?" I heard Alex ask rudely.

"Why not, whatever man, just meet us here okay?", And with that the call ended. I smiled and took out some bubblegum and gave Daniel some.

It didn't take Alex long to find us, our eyes instantly meeting as he shot me a smirk.

"Daniel asked me to skip with him so here I am."

"Did he now?" Alex's eyes trailed to Daniels with a hint of jealousy. I think they're angry at each other but I can't tell.

The bell rang just in time as I stood up grabbing onto Alex as his hands found my hips pulling me back carefully. "Thanks." I blushed softly.

"I should go guys, I'm riding my bicycle."

"But you have heels on?" Daniel questioned confused. "Danny, I basically grew up in my heels", And with that I went my own way, smiling to myself. I love my new school.

Riding my bike usually took me about 30 minutes, I didn't mind because I loved having the wind in my hair but as you noticed, today is not my day.

Ten minutes into my ride it started raining, and I mean pouring, it's so weird. Having it be sunny and then pouring rain the next second. Kinda like my mental health.

Ughh, my heels are getting real slippery as well, I can barely see anything with all this rain. Fuck.

Practically falling off my bike I heard a loud honk before a truck stopped next to me. "Need a ride kitten?"

That nickname, Alex. Thank god, I swear he has the best timing. "Yes please." Alex got out and placed my bike on the bed of the truck before helping me into the passenger side.

"I have my gym clothes in the back just lean over and put them on." Alex said as he got back into the road.

"But, you're here?" I mean, I wasn't going to undress in front of him. No way in hell.

"Just dress back there, I promise I won't look, I have to be focused on the road anyway." Alex spoke not once looking at me.

He makes a valid point and I absolutely hate sitting in wet clothes.

"Okay fine but don't look please, I mean it." Alex nodded in response and I crawled over to the back seats, taking his gym bag out. Sweats and another hoodie, great.

Alex's p.o.v.

I knew I shouldn't but I sneakily watched as Leila hesitantly took of my hoodie and her shirt, revealing her black lace bra.

I shifted in my sheet as I kept my eyes forward, it's hard not to look, even when she's crunching you could see her hour glass figure. Mhm god.

"Don't look!" She smiled. "I'm not I'm not", I slightly lifted my hands from the steering wheel in surrender making her giggle.

She quickly got into the hoodie before pushing of her pants and I could now see what she was trying to hide.

Cuts, alot of them.

I sighed as I frowned to myself, why would she want to hurt herself like that? She's so perfect, she doesn't deserve that carry around a burden that makes her want to do that.

Leila quickly slipped into my sweats before crawling over to the passenger seat again. "I'm comfy now", her eyes scanning the hoodie as I smiled.

It took us about another 15 minutes before we reached their house. Fancy I guess, they live uptown so that probably means their wealthy.

"My uh, parents aren't home. Would you like to come in?" She was obviously nervous to ask seeing she was fiddling with the sleeves.

"Sure." I smiled at her, she then reached over to her jeans leaving her ass in the air and I had to control the urge to slap it. She then took out a pair of keys along with the wet clothes.

Leila got out and ran to her front door, unlocking it before we went inside.

"Hold on let me get undressed real quick and give you your clothes back."

"Keep them, they look better on you anyways.", I smiled making her blush. She mumbled a 'thanks' before going upstairs which I followed.

We went upstair and her room is totally the opposite of what I would've imagined. I thought pretty and pink was her thing I guess not.

I was quiet impressed seeing heavy metal posters against her walls. "Don't be shocked, that's only half of the bands I like." She smiled and I couldn't help but think she's turning out to be my favorite human.

"Stay.", Leila ordered before going into her bathroom, she came out dressed in some cupcake pj's which made me chuckle.

"That's cute." I smirked as she blushed yet again. She blushed easily. Leila then got a towel to dry her hair.

"Would you like something to drink?" She asked softly and I shook my head no. I wasn't really thirsty, I was just very tired.

Laying back on her bed she wasted no time laying down beside me. There was a space between us, even tho I wish there wasn't.

Turning on my side, I had Leila's innocent green eyes look up at me, trailing my fingers down her cheek she softly yawned as she closed her eyes.

She's so beautiful, I don't think I'm falling anymore. I know I am.

Leila's p.o.v.

"Leila I'm home!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs, making me sprung up from my sleep.

I quickly scanned my room, he's not here anymore. At least he left a note.

Sorry, dad called. Your bike is on the porch.

+11 (639) 274 3937

I'm guessing that's his number, let me text him quickly.

Me: Thanks for the lift Alex :)

Alex: Of course kitten, See ya tomorrow (;

And with that I went to bed, Alex clearly on my mind.
