Goodbye Ian

Chapter 4

ALICE'S POV

After the bell rang I rushed out of my English class and went straight to the cafeteria. I'm one of the first few people there and get in line for food just in time before it got crowded. I grab a salad, orange juice, and an apple from the cart. I pay for my food and make my way to my table. Now to say that I was waiting for Ian to come by would be an understatement. I was basically looking like a crazy person jumping up and down my seat waiting for him to come. What if he forgot what table I sat at?
That's impossible Alice you are literally the only person in this entire cafeteria that is sitting alone.
While I'm literally having a conversation with myself in my head the chair across from my table is slid away and the person who sits down is none other than Ian.

"Hey, are you okay? You looked like you were deep in your thoughts."

"Hey! Yeah I was just thinking about something but it doesn't matter," I laughed awkwardly. Ugh, I probably looked constipated.

"Just a little bit darling but don't worry I'll pretend like you didn't look constipated," Ian says to me with a wink. I look at him dumbfounded. I can't believe I said that out loud. But I'm also speechless because him winking at me was fucking up with my mind.

"Um...anyways," I say trying to change the subject. "I didn't think you would remember about having lunch with me if I'm being honest."

"Now why would you think that, darling?"

"Well, I don't know. I just never really eat with anyone at this school. I'm kind of a loner if you haven't noticed," I tell Ian while picking at my salad. Ian takes my apple from my tray and takes a bite out of it. As he's chewing it he makes a disgusted look and spits it out.

"Ugh this food is fucking shit," I mean he's not wrong but still I was going to eat that. Lord, knows I don't eat at home unless I'm given food by my parents which is almost never.

"Come on darling I'm taking you out for lunch." Ian gets up from his chair and extends his hand out to me to grab.

"You mean like leave school and go somewhere? " Is he crazy or something?

"That's exactly what I mean. Now come on I'm starving and I can tell that you are too."

I take Ian's hand and he doesn't waste time in guiding me out of the cafeteria. As we walk out people start looking our way and whispering about us. I keep my head down the whole time. I don't like it when people do that since I'm the schools target for bullying. You know you would think that it would get easier after all these years of being in high school but the truth is that it never gets easier.

When we make it out of the cafeteria and into the hallway that is when I finally look up. The first thing I want to do is tell Ian that I don't think going outside for lunch is a good idea but when I turn my face to tell him I'm speechless. His side profile is just beautiful. Like damn what is this boy's skin care routine because I need some of that.

Ian starts to smirk and then says to me, "Do you like what you see?"

I gasp and quickly look away as we make our way outside of the school and into the parking lot. Oh my gosh that was so fucking embarrassing. I can't believe he caught me checking him out. It isn't long until we reach his motorcycle since the parking spaces for motorcycles is in front of the entrance to the school.

"Well come on, darling, hop on," Ian says as he hands me with helmet.

"Wait, Ian I don't think this is a good idea." Jesus Christ, Alice a hot guy that is not mean to you is telling you to get on his motorcycle to take you out for lunch. Don't fuck it up!!! Shut up conscience!

"Now why would it not be a good idea?" Ian looks at me as if I just lost my mind. I'm just standing there trying to figure out an excuse. He's kind of right though. Why wouldn't it be a good idea?

"I just don't want to get in trouble with the school or with my parents. You know I'm case we get caught. Plus, it's senior year and I want to do good," I chuckle nervously.

Ian starts to laugh. God, it sounds so good coming from him.

"Jones don't worry about that, okay? Plus you know you want to get on my Harley," he tells me as sends me a wink. Yep that is definitely messing with my head again. "And if we get caught don't worry I'll take the fall. Now get your cute little ass on here or else we won't have enough time to get back."
He puts the helmet on my head and secures it for me. I get on the bike and prepare myself for the ride.
Ian looks over his shoulder and smirks at me.

"Hold on tight Jones because this is going to be fun."

And with that we take off.
