Here is the next and epic chapter. I told you it'd be long. :D

I hated surprises. People always brought me to the wrong places, and something bad usually  happened. I never would like the place. I would hate what they'd do to me. I tell them no, they say yes, and would push me in. Just the thought of surprises brought me back to the nigtmares. The halloween one mostly. The only one good thought surprises gave me was my surprise birthday. But that was when I was five, back in the city... before I left.

Adam held my hand tighter as we stepped down the stairs. "Can you at least give me a hint? I don't like surprises," I said, walking a bit behind.

"What is up with girls not liking surprises? And keep up!" He said, walking even faster.

He was fast. Faster than anyone else I knew... Why can my one cousin Josh, be this fast? He always complains how he wants to win our races. I literally had to run after Adam so I could catch up.

Adam pushed the front door, causing a loud bang echoing through the halls. The door opened, a  long, great gust of wind blowing into our faces.

"Are we skipping school?" I asked, squinting my eyes through the wind.

"Yeah... ...Is that a problem?" He asked stopping for a minute, the door still open.

"No it's not, I do that all the time at the-" I stopped. My heart froze. Where was I from again? Definitley not the farm! I couldn't believe I was so close to telling him that! I think I told him where I was from already, but I couldn't remember. I told Lucy too, but suddenly I couldn't remember.

"My school in... Sacramento," I shouted with an excited smile, so proud that I remembered where I was from. Then I remembered Adam was standing there the whole time. 

I looked at him, feeling my cheeks warm up in embarrassment. At least he didn't suspect I was from a farm. ...At least I hoped he didn't.

"Same here, I did it all the time in high school. Now," He suddenly whispered bending next to me, "We better run. Unless you want to get caught,"

"I'm good," I perked up, about to take a deep breath and run.

Instead, I felt Adam's grip tighten around my hand, and the loud slam of the door behind us. His hand was in mine... and it felt so perfect! I felt his fingers intertwine with mine, making my heart skip  a beat again, and blush. I swallowed, looking away, trying to hide my blush.

I heard Adam's laugh, hearing him say, "You're cute when you blush,"

I couldn't help but blush again. But not in cuteness... embarrasment. I heard him laugh once again. But before I could say anything he took off, pulling me behind, hand-in-hand.

All I could think about as we ran out of the campus was him. Was that true? Did I really make him blush? Did he really say I was cute? I smiled at the thought, finally starting to focus on where we were going.

I stopped, letting go of his hand.

Gasping for breath, I lowered my back, touching my knees huffing and puffing. 

Adam ran a bit further, but slowed down. "Tired already?"

I nodded, too busy gasping for air to reply.

Adam walked up to me, not even close to out of breath. He walked all confidently up to me, making me more out of breath.

"I'm surprised," He randomnly says.
