Lost In The Dark

Chapter 8

Late update! I've been really busy this past week and when I'm not busy, I'm 'lazy' and spend my time binge watching Naruto or reading. Let's just say I was gathering inspiration. No need to be violent😂

The biting cold that slapped me was very unwelcoming.

The fact that Fruit didn't tell me what was going on in his mind hurt me a lot.

Back in the days, we were sort of an item but without the title because let's face it, the title really adds nothing to you.

We shared secrets and told each other everything, ranging from stupid to deep.

Jon Bellion sang 'stupid deep' so he probably gets me.

I chose to walk to school so I could clear my head. There's a first time for everything.

Digging out my headphones from my bag, I plugged them in and started walking briskly.

30 minutes later and I was still closer to my house than I was to school.

Sitting in a vehicle made me feel like school was so close yet here I was, huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf and I had not even gone halfway.

Nobody needs to remind me never to try this again. I'll definitely be late for school at this rate.

Wasabi by Little Mix started playing and I knew I was walking faster.

Something about fast beats increasing your heart beat and making you try to keep up or something like that... I guess. I really don't know.

Next thing, Bored by Billie Eilish started playing so I started walking at a really slow pace.

This happened for a while. Fast walk, slow walk, slow song, fast song... Till I changed to my party playlist so I could walk fast.

I was no longer angry with Fruit. All I needed at this moment was to get to school!!
Every other issue will be solved later.

My legs were already hurting me a lot.

You're probably expecting someone I know to be driving past, see me and stop. Probably roll down the glass of their tinted car window, tell me to hop in and drive away.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. Life doesn't always give us what we want.

At this point, my fingers were numb.
Trying to distract myself, I started playing around with things in my head.

But come to think of it, if I find ten homeless ants and give them a home, does that make them my tenants?

I was snapped out of my thoughts as freezing cold water touched my skin.
A car zoomed past using my clothes to mop the puddle of water.

It was the school 'bad boys'...How cliche. They're going to school so early. Peep the sarcasm.

One and a half hours later and I had made it halfway to school. Yay me!!

•••

When I finallyyyyy made it to school, it was already lunch time. I had already missed half of the day. At least I could refuel!

My skin was pale and my chances of having hypothermia were skyrocketing.

Shivering towards my locker, I felt a warm feeling envelope me. A black leather jacket sat on my shoulder warming me. Clenching it in my tightly wound fist, I pulled it closer to myself inhaling. The scent was mouth watering and made me hungry.

Looking up and expecting to find a cliche bad boy, I was not disappointed. One of the humans who splashed water on me stood there, smirking at me.
