City Lights

Chapter 4

(Adam's POV)

I hate worms. They are so gross. I mean ya I am a guy and all but I just cant stand worms. I sat there in Biology disecting that stupid worm. It was distgusting. When I was done with my worm I pushed my chair back and looked out the window. It was raining. I loved the rain, there was just something about it that made me feel...safe. I thought of Alexis and her smile and all the things we used to do together. I thought about the times I saw her crying. I was always there for her and she was always there for me. I hated seeing her cry. It made me hate myself for not being able to help her more than I was. It made me hate myself because I couldn't stop what made her cry in the first place. She was the only person besides my parents who saw me cry. I felt comforted when I was beside her. 

I knew something was going on with Alex latley but I thought that if she wanted to tell me she would sooner or later. Something was bothering her but I knew she would tell me eventually...she had to...I was her best friend...wasn't I? My thoughts were inturrupted by the bell. I stood up and grabbed my backpack and skateboard and walked out of class. Kids were running everywhere screaming things like "Schools out!" and "Summer Vacation Losers!" annd other things i choose not to mention. I went to Alexis's locker and stood there looking for her. I looked down the hall and saw her coming out of the girls bathroom. She was looking at the ground. She was shaking and clutching her arm. When she saw me she smiled and lowered her arm. "Hey" she said. "Hey" I said confused "Why were you shaking?" "I-um. It's really cold in english class" she said while opening her locker. "But you wern't in your english class...you were in the bathroom" I said. "Ya its cold in there too" she said. "Alexis wh-" she cut me off by saying "So what movie are we watching?" I swollowed knowing she didn't want to talk about the movie but just trying to change the subject. "I don't know probably some horror movie" I said as she finished putting her books in her locker and closed it. We started walking out of the school door.It had stopped raining. "Cool...Im kinda in the mood for something scary" She said putting her headphones in and getting on her skateboard. "You sure you are okay?" I asked. She nodded. I put my headphones in as we began to skate. I thought to myself as we skated down the street 'She isn't okay...There is something wrong...She isn't okay...but why wont she tell me?'
