The Pretty Reckless

Chapter 1

“Now I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I”

Leaving a place like I was never there is normal for me. Having only a bag of clothes and some money in my pocket I can leave a place quicker than you can say "Stop". The only problem is there is no one to say "Stop" or even "Go" for that matter. Alone. You might think I get lonely but in reality it's better this way, not getting attached, that way no one gets hurt.

"Come on baby," I say look down at my gas tank and see that it's almost empty, "Just a few more miles." I check the street signs and find out that I have a mile intill I reach Adrian, Georgia. I look back a my gas tank and see that I'll just barely make it. Sure driving my motorcycle intill there was no gas left wasn't the smartest idea but i was to worried that if I stopped they would find me. So I kept driving intill I hit a town where no one would find me and here I am entering Adrian. I look around seeing that is a small town. Perfect. I think No one will look for me here. I pull into the gas station and walk in to give the cashier the money. The bell rings anouncing my enterance.

"Good morning," The young man behind the counter says not looking at me yet. He's just a few years older than me, tall and plain looks.

"Morning," I say in my lifeless voice making the cashier look up into my eyes. He visibly flinches not because I was ugly but because my eyes, the lifeless ones. "Put fifty dollars worth of gas on pump two," I continue handing him the money.

"Y-yeah of course. Have nice day," He stutters out looking anywhere but my eyes. I walk out without replying. I look up to see some teenagers my age surrounding my bike.

"I suggest you get away from that bike before someone gets hurt," I say without emotion even though I'm furious inside. Stupid kids. They look up shocked and scared when they meet my eyes all expect one boy who looks curious intill I put my gaze on him.

"And who might be getting hurt? You?" He says looking me up and down, "Or me?"

"Move away from the bike and it won't be either of us," I say moving towards the group who back up as I walk closer including the smartass of a boy.

"Hey we were just looking no need to get violent," the boy says raising his hands in surrender, "What kind of bike is it?"

"None of your businness. Now move or be moved," I threaten. They seem to finally get the hint and leave to go into the gas station. I fill up my bike and start it driving around town. I find a motel building and pull into the parking lot see that is was empty expect one car. Weird I think. I walk in into the lobby hearing the bell ring and waking up the secetary that had fallen asleep on the desk.

"Good morning and welcome to the Prince Motel. How may I help you?" She says half asleep.

"I need a place to stay for a week or two." I say. My voice seems to wake her up and look me in the eyes. I see the usual fear ,shock but there something more in her gaze greed...

"Ah yes and where did you come from?" She askes overly curious.

"I don't see how that has anything to do with getting a motel room." I say emotionlessly.

"Oh it's one of our rules. We need to make sure that the person staying here is not dangerous," she lies effortlessly. If it was anyone else they would hav beleived her but i was an expert at reading people and could see that she was trying very hard to hide a smirk. Damn gossiper....

"Really?" I say leaning over the counter, "Because i thought for sure this motel would have the decency to honor there customers privacy. In fact i am certain that this motel would. Now this wouldn't hav anything to do with you trying to get information on me would it?" I say icily making her flinch.

"N-no of course not. It's policy," she says once again.

"Well i suggest you chage the policy before i get the manager to do it and i don't think he will be to happy with his employ trying to get her latest gossip now would he?"

"O-of course yes I'll just make an exeption for you," she says trying to smile only to have it come out as a grimace.

"Now here's the money you need for a week and give me the key to my roon and we'll forget this ever happened. Ok?"

"Yes here you go its room four. Have a nice day." I take the key from her hand and back outside to get my stuff. I find my room its a normal motel room with a bed and a bathroom. I put my stuff in the room and decide that i should probably find a place to eat, as i walk out of the motel room i reach into my pocket and grad a cigarette and light it. I can sense someone looking at me, my hand automatically reached for my pocket knife as I turn around. There leaning against the door next to mine is a guy my age staring at me. I couldn't make out his face seeing as he was in the shadows but you could tell he was tall and muscular.

"Is there a reason your looking at me or are u just doing it for fun?" I ask coldly.

"No reason just looking" he says walking out of the shadows. He was one of the guys normal girls swoon over devilishly handsom with high cheekdones, full lips, and glowing green eyes. To bad I wasn't a normal girl and the only thing I felt for this guy was irriation. I kept it hidden making my face an emotionless mask.

"Well sorry to burst your bubble but your not attractive enough to pull off creepy," I say keeping a straight face.

"And your not pretty enough to pull of bitch but i wasn't goin to say anything," he says cooly, "Or smoking."

"How does smoking hav anything to do with looks? Its not  a fashion statement," I say walking up to my bike getting on it and leaving without waiting for an answer. Little did I know i would be seeing that guy much more than I wanted to.
