Chapter Four

Too friendly

The bell finally rang, signaling my third week at this school was over with. I grabbed my books and made my way out the door with the other students, collecting this weekend's homework from the teacher as I walked by.

I make my way to my locker and enter my combination. Once I open  it i grab my jacket and  slip it on, I then grab my backpack and stuff my books inside and throw it over my shoulder. I slam my locker shut and turn the dial to lock it up. I turn and make my way down the hallway, I take the nearest flight of stairs and walk down them quickly.

"Melanie!" Oh no, I walk faster until I reach the first floor. "Melanie wait up!" Oh my God, what does this chick want?

"Melanie, whew, glad I caught you, you were walking pretty fast!" I hear the voice right behind me and I stop walking. I close my eyes and curse under my breath. Fuck.

I force a small smile and turn to Rochelle, "Hey Rochelle, I'm sorry I didn't hear you." I lie, mentally rolling my eyes.

She fans me off, "Oh hush it's fine, I'm just glad I caught you before you left school or I'd have to wait until Monday to ask you." She says.

I frown, "Ask me what?" I ask, continuing out the school doors, Rochelle just about attached to my hip, why she gotta walk so damn close?

She takes what looks like a deep breath and steps in front of me, stopping me from walking any further through the parking lot. "I -I was wondering if, y'know since you're  new to this school, New to this town and all... would you like to come to the mall with me this Saturday? Y'know like shopping, movies etc...?" She asks, the hopeful glint in her eyes and the look on her face keeps me from refusing.

I sigh, "I guess... I'll have to see what I'm doing tomorrow... I'll let you know if I'm busy or not." I say, giving her a small smile.

Her face literally lights up, "Oh really?? That would be great!" She says, jumping up and down, the excitement in her voice audible.

"Mhm." I say, trying hard to keep the annoyed look off my face.

She smiles brightly and moves to the side so that I can continue my walk to my car. Suddenly she jumps in front of me, stopping me yet again, I try hard not to roll my eyes.

"Yes?" I ask, folding my arms across my chest.

She pulls her phone out of her purse and types something into the screen, she smiles and hands me the phone. "I almost forgot to get your number!" She says.

I sigh and type my number into the keypad and save it, "Do you need, anything else before I walk away?" I ask, just trying to make sure, 'cause if she stopped me again I'd probably punch her.

She shakes her head no, gives me a quick hug and hurriedly walks away. I stand in my place for about 10 extra seconds, did this bitch just hug me? I close my eyes and take deep breaths, count to ten and open my eyes again. I roll my shoulders and shake my head, continuing my walk to my car.

As I approach my car I see someone leant against the hood, twirling keys around their index finger, I frown, who the hell? I make my way around the car and find that the person is August, he has his shades on and is looking down at his shoes.

I unlock my car and open the back door, I throw my bag in the backseat and close the door. I step up to him, almost toe to toe. He looks up and a slight smile forms on his face, it's then that I notice the headphones in his ears.

He pulls them out and pauses his music, "Wassup ma?" He asks, giving me a slight nod.

I smirk, "Not much, I didn't see you in class today." I say, raising an eyebrow.
