Game of Life

Chapter 2

Parker's POV

Time went by so fast because the moment I lifted my head from copying notes, the bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

I felt my phone vibrate in the back pocket of my jeans. I checked the message, it was from Julian

: Hey, wait for me at your locker, just need to stop by somewhere.

I wondered, maybe he needs to pass something to his professors.

: Yeah sure, don't be long babe.

I sent the message and place my phone back to my back pocket. I went straight to the cafeteria since I'm a little bit hungry and bought something to munch. I paid the cashier and went to my locker.

On my way back to my locker I saw Derick Williams smiled and winked at me. That charming smile of his and that wink towards me. Ugh, I felt my knees wobble at that wink.

Could that mean he noticed me somehow? I mean, I've been head over heels for him since third year, and he hasn't noticed me up until now. I wondered 'what's changed?'

A hand waved in front of me and calling my name "Hey, Harley! Harley!!" I see Julian with a questioning face "You okay?"

Probably zoned out again "Yeah, is there something wrong?" I asked him "Nothing actually, just warning you about Williams." He said looking a little worried

"Why? What's up with him? He actually noticed me a while ago. He smiled and winked at my way, I mean why now? Why not before? What's changed and wha-",

"Parker! Slow down. Okay?" Julian was holding both of my shoulders holding me in place "Now, as I was saying. If ever Williams make a move on you, please, reject him at all cost"

"I doubt that he'll make a move, hello? As if you're not updated, he doesn't care about me. And where is this coming from anyway?" he's acting a little weird. I thought to myself

"That is why I said 'if ever' right? Just do as I say, please?" he pleaded. "Yeah, sure, but..., Nah, never mind"

Collins' POV

I was holding my phone and on my way to the lockers when I felt my cellphone vibrate in the palm of my hands

: 911. Meet me at room 304. Now

It's a message from Ryder. What's the emergency? And how did he managed to get my number? I pushed the question at the back of my mind and made my way towards room 304.

I saw him sitting on one of the tables near the window. 'Should I go or not? I mean, he's one of the people who doesn't really talk and just give you a blank stare. And what do I know? He might be planning my death right now. But no, he said 911. It must really mean it's urgent. I mean why would he get my number right?' I thought to myself

'Oh well, here goesnothing'
