NovelBookChpater 28 I wasn't as tired as I thought. My gran wasn't in when I woke, already set of for her garden club that she had failed to mention she had joined. A book club and a garden club. I now had no way of getting to school. Catching sight of Jake's hoody that was thrown over my chair I smiled. I forgot to give him that back.
Slipping my feet into my sneakers I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder. I could always text Alanna and see if I could car share with her. Unplugging my charger I made sure everything was switched off. Grabbing my cup I finished the rest of my coffee just as my phoned vibrated. 'Had a really good tlast night princess. You needing a lift to school? noticed your gran leaving early' Well that was my excuse out the window.
'No it's okay I'll find a way. Thanks though' I couldn't bring myself to accept his offer. It was like half ofwanted to but the stubborn part didn't. Opening up a new message I sent it to Alanna.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Hey do you mind givinga lift to school?' Giving myself a once over in the mirror I headed downstairs. I still had half hour before I needed to leave but Alanna hadn't textedback yet and I was starting to worry. I didn't want to be late again and I wasn't sure if a bus stop was near or even went past the school.
Alanna messagedback and it turns out she wasn't going in today. I was screwed. I didn't want Jake takingto school. After what happened last night I didn't need anymore unwanted attention. I mean what was it about Jake. Yes he was good looking but what did he hold over this town? I was running out of time.
'Can you still givea lift?' He didn't messageback and I was already an hour late for my first class. I needed a car and fast. I couldn't depend on my gran anymore.
Why didn't I just accept his offer the first time? I had phoned the school and told them I'd be in after lunch. That gaveenough tto get there by bus. I googled times and stops, I just had to walk 20 minutes down the road to the bus stop. I hope google was up to date.
It wasn't very warm outside but I was prepared with my hat, gloves and my coffee. Sticking my earphones in I pressed play and set off down the street.
I had sent my gran a message earlier asking if she would be able to pickup when school finished but she had yet to reply. I did wonder why she was so busy nowadays. I mean we hadn't been here long enough for her to make friends. Something felt off.
I could hear it but I chose to ignore it. The car horn wouldn't stop but I already knew who it was. I wasn't interested. He could toot his horn all day if he wanted too. He wasn't takingto school. Yes he did offer and I declined but in my head I could still be annoyed at him for ignoring my text.
Coming to a stop I pulled my earphone out and glared at him. "What do you want?".

"No" I huffed.
"And how do you plan on getting to school?".
"Bus". I shrugged.
"Busses don't run in this part of town so please just lettake you to m school" he content is on novelenglish.net!
"Jake". I sighed. "I'm new here and I'm trying to fit in. You seem like a big deal around here and you takingto school is just going to throw unwanted shade at me". "You're overthinking Leah. No one-..."
With ever "Last night". I stated cutting him off. "The way those girls looked at me". I had never in my life had any issue with other girls but this town was different.
