*alyssa*

I sat in the passenger seat of Jack's car with my elbow in the door and my head in my hand. Jack decided to drive me around town since it was actually pretty chilly today.

"That's the library," he spoke in a monotone voice as he points lazily at a building.

I sighed and didn't say anything back. This is stupid. I don't want to be in a car with Jack. I don't even want to be near him, period.

"What was that?" He asked getting angry.

I took my upper lip in my teeth and didn't say anything.

"Huh?" I can hear the anger in his voice.

"N-nothing, just take me home," I spoke for the first time after leaving blonde Jack's house.

"That's what I thought you said but no."

"Why not?" I asked just wanting to go home.

"My mom texted me saying I need to bring you into Westside for orientation. Which is stupid because I already graduated. And I shouldn't need to go to that place ever again," he huffed.

Westside? What the hell is- Oh wait, school. Great school, my best friend. Not. Wouldn't life be better without school and homework? I think so yeah.

About five minutes later, Jack pulled into the school's parking lot. I can already feel the anxiety kick in and I'm not even starting classes today.

Stand your ground, Lyss it will be okay, Joe's words repeated in my mind.

"Are you going to get out or not?" Jack grunted as he slammed the door, already walking towards the front of the building.

I unbuckled my seatbelt and quickly followed behind Jack into the building.

The orientation wasn't bad but the school is huge. I honestly don't think I can get used to the size. The schools I used to go to were not even half as big as Westside.

When we got back to the car I looked at the time on the dashboard. 3:56. Wow, that was longer than I thought.

"Can you take me home now?" I ask quietly.

"No," Jack states pulling out of the school parking lot.

"Why not?" I ask getting annoyed.

"Just because you want to go home doesn't mean I have to take you."

"But you can just drop me off and-" my sentence was cut off as he swerved on the side of he road stopping the car.

"If you want it go home. Walk."

"Excuse me?" I began to get defensive.

"You heard me," he smirked.

I stayed silent for a few moments, "Let's just go where you want to go." I answer.

"That's what I thought you said," Jack smiled proudly which only made me feel worse about myself.

I'm such a doormat.
