His Chase

25 | His Chase

"Will you be my date?" The ocean blue-eyed person spoke.

Mabel felt her fingertips tingling against the steering wheel. He can't be serious? What if it's just a joke? It is, I know... maybe.

"What?!" She leaves a soft chuckle so that she won't be defenseless if his question turns out as a joke. Her grip tightens over the wheel as she sees him opening his mouth again to speak. Nervousness washes all over her.

Skyler, please don't joke around. Please.

One of in a second there was a knock on his side window, Erica gleaming in her red top, impatiently waiting for him, outside the car.

"We will talk about this later." Skyler climbs off, in a hurry, as if he was getting out of the current messy situation. Mabel watches them walk away.

What the hell did he even mean? What date? Why should I be his date if he's already dating Erica?

When she reached her locker, she recollects her thoughts to stay focused rather than being mentally disturbed once again because of none other than Skyler Foster. She searched for her History textbook. The warning bell rang but she kept rummaging with little curses forming under her breath. The hallway started to get emptier, she was getting late.

"Fuck it!" She banged the locker shut and leaves for the class, she didn't care about the textbook anymore, she was already late.

On her way to the class, she hears soft voices coming from the passage area between the stairs as she climbed above, two figures appeared in her sight. They didn't really see her coming along so she took a step back, hiding cause their situation looked pretty intimidating.

She took a quick sneak peek to find out who exactly they were.

"Why did you block me, huh?" The guy who has trapped another one spoke in a harsh tone.

Mabel tries to remember him but he was unidentifiable.

The trapped guy pushed him, "I said you already, Stop bothering me, Chad." It suddenly strikes Mabel that Chad is none other than one of the popular juniors of our high school. The stories she has heard of him aren't much amusing.

Her eyes widen when she clearly gets a glance over the trapped person, It was Andrew from her calculus class, he looked like he was in a sort of trouble.

Chad holds a tight grip over Andrew's shoulder and presses his back on the wall behind, "Listen to me carefully, Andy. We aren't over till I agree to this."

She was getting late. She was already late actually, but she can't just leave Andrew here getting bullied by this Chad guy or whatever.

She took a brave step ahead and as they found her approaching. A fear casts over Andrew's face. Mabel takes a clear glimpse at Chad's dark features; he had a buzz cut and his height held him superiorly over Andrew.

Chad's deep brown eyes gave Mabel a death glare, "You can keep moving, girl."

Mabel spoke, "As your senior, I'm pitying you, Chad. So better you leave right now before I make you walk to the Principal."

Chad squints his eyes at her before giving a final glare at Andrew, he leaves walking past her. Anger radiating from him.

"Are you alright?" Mabel approaches Andrew as the devil leaves the sight completely.

Andrew relaxes, sighing, "He almost killed me, here." He softly sends a soft smile her way, "Thanks Mabel, I don't know what he would have done."

Mabel rests her hand on his shoulder, "Let's get out of here before some teacher catches us."
