Crossing Lines [Completed]

Ch. 14 Indecisive

"Carter!"

I look in the mirror at my reflection then stopped brushing my hair as my mom was yelling at me from downstairs. I stood there and waited until she was walking up the stairs.

When she opened my door, she looks over at me as she was standing in my doorway. "You're going to be late."

I nodded as I knew this. I accidentally hit snooze too many times this morning. I was too tired to wake up cause I hardly slept last night. My mind was too busy going over everything that happening yesterday.

"Chase caught a ride from Trevor. Hurry up." She sternly said.

I looked at the clock on the bedside table after she left the room. It was seven twelve. I had to leave around seven thirty cause school started at eight and it took thirty minutes to get there.

I couldn't understand why we had to live far away from the school. Thirty minutes is too far and I can't drive fast or I'll get a ticket cause this town is stupid with cops patrolling the streets like it's a drug area.

Which the lower class is known for their drug dealing, so it makes sense.

I brushed my hair out then put it up in a ponytail. My hair was getting too long for me to worry about it right now. I didn't want to keep pulling it out of my face throughout the whole day, so putting it up was the best way to go.

Looking at my outfit in the mirror, I was satisfied with the way I looked. I had on a flannel shirt with a white tank top underneath. It looked super cute with my ripped jeans and my converse.

It screams gay but my parents are clueless so that's a good thing.

Grabbing my phone, I placed it in my pocket then made sure I had everything else as I grabbed my backpack then walked out of the room.

I was greeted by my mom in the kitchen as she held up a bag. I grabbed it then kissed her cheek and said my goodbye.

Leaving the house, I looked at the time on the stereo and saw that I had about thirty three minutes to get there. I should be able to make it if I can miss every red light.

As I was driving, my thoughts went to Miss Morgan. I took a deep breath as I felt nervous to see her today. Everyday I've seen her, I never felt this way until I found out.

I just wasn't sure what was about to happen.

Making it to school with five minutes to spare, I have to pat myself on the back for making a new record. I was speeding a little but slowed down when I thought I saw cops.

Ayden was waiting for me outside. I smiled as I approached him. I didn't want to appear weird or anything cause I didn't want to tell him anything right now.

It was too much for me. He would overreact and I didn't want that.

I love Ayden but he overreacts sometimes over shit. He takes things a little too serious and sometimes not serious at all.

"How come you slept in?" He asks as he was leaning on the locker next to mine.

I grabbed my History book before shutting my locker. I had texted him this morning telling him that I slept in and I might be a little late, but I wasn't so that's good.

"I couldn't sleep last night."

"Again?"

I shrugged then leaned on my locker. "Sometimes I just can't sleep. It happens with everyone."

He nods as he takes out his phone then looks at me. "I talked to Jamie and she said it was totally fine for us to go to prom together." He smiles.

Nodding, I really didn't want to go but didn't want to hurt his feelings. I know he wants me to go and it's my choice if I want to or not but I wouldn't hear the end of it.
