CHAPTER 8 :
I put my phone back to the table, went to the bathroom and get ready for school.
Avoid Jake the best as you can, I think to myself.
"Mom, can I use your car to school?" I asked.
"Sure honey," She threw the car keys to me and I catched it, happily walking to her car.
"So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans," I sang along to the song blasting on my phone, tapping my finger on the steering wheel to the beat of the song. On my spare time, I really love to just sit on the piano and sing. I've been playing the piano and singing as long as I can remember. It made me relax and calm, like all my problems I'm having are gone for a while.
My plan today was to avoid Jake, no seeing him, no talking to him, no nothing. I'm pretty sure he'll beat me to death after what I've done to him.
I parked my car on the school driveway, get out of the car, closed the door, and locked the car.
Once I went in, I saw Jake talking this usual group of friends.
Shoot.
I let my hair fall -covering my face- and rushed off to class. Thank God I don't have a class with him today. I searched for Brenton and sat down on the empty seat beside him, putting my books on the table.
"Hampton, when we're going to do the project?" He asked.
Damn, I totally forgot about the whole project thing. "Oh yeah that, um today after school if you can?"
"I'm free," Brenton responded.
"Good, your house or mine?" I asked.
"Yours if you don't mind?"
"I don't."
Avoiding Jake, check. This is easier than I thought, If I saw him on the hallway, all I have to do is turn around and go from the other side.
Now, it's lunch time. I haven't seen Jake yet, hoped it stayed that way.
"What did he do to you?" Joe asked referring to Jake.
"Nothing yet, I've been avoiding him," I replied, shoving the spaghetti in my mouth.
"Wimp," Camilla said.
I pulled a face.
"Be ready, Lex. Here they come," Camilla smiled slyly.
No, no, no!
I stared at Camilla with wide eyes.
I felt someone sliding next to me, I don't have to turn around to know who it is. I can smell his strong cologne from here, which I have to admit, it smells really good. Where did he get it? Abercrombie?
"Soo, this is the girl who tin foiled Jake's room?" A guy sitting inbetween Joe and Camilla said, he has blue eyes and an Australian accent.
"That's me," I tried to sound confident. "With a little help from these two," I pointed to Camilla and Joe.
"Dimples, I know you've been avoiding me," Jake spoke up beside me.
I laughed nervously, no point on denying that.
~*~*~
School was finally over. I survived.
I was in my room, waiting for Brenton to arrive so we can do our project.
Ding.
Brenton : I'm really sorry I can't make it, there's a sudden change in plans, I need to go somewhere.
