“But then why haven’t the police said anything about searching for a killer. They’ve only ever mentioned bears and wolves.” I question him. But his theory does actually make some sense.
“Don’t you ever watch crime shows. The police never give all the information out, and maybe they want the guy to think he’s getting away with it so he gets lazy and slips up.” He shrugs his shoulders again, and carries on walking into school. I hate to say it but it really does make sense. Part of me now wishes it was my wolf. At least the attacks would just be animal instinct, but a crazy person.....
I get to lunch and realise that I didn’t need to be worried this morning about showing up with Chris. Logan’s not even here. I havent seen him all day, and I’ve not even had any tingles that maybe he was just watching me. I really do need to find out why I get those; but it’s not like it’s a normal question you can just come out and ask. I’ll just have to add it to growing list of questions for him. I have also realised that my mind constantly wanders to him. To three little words.
′because you’re mine’.
I’m thinking about what he’s doing, where he is. Who’s he with? And I hate to admit it but whenever I think about who he is with I find myself feeling something vaguely like jealousy. I’ve never felt so consumed by a guy before. I may not have had many boyfriends, not real ones anyway, but I’m a girl. I’ve had crushes before. But nothing on this scale. I seriously need to take up a new hobby.
“So do you need a ride home after school?” Chris asks while bumping my shoulder with his at the lunch table. I’ve come to love lunch times. It’s just everyone all talking over each other, about boys, girls, shopping, sport. It feels normal. I feel normal. I’ve only been here for four or five weeks but already I feel like I’ve been part of this group for a while. They all just welcomed me in. No questions asked.
“No, I’m good thanks Amber is going to give me a lift, but maybe tomorrow we could start those lessons. If you have time that is. And I’ll pay you. I don’t expect you to give your time up for free.” I’m not too sure spending more one on one time with Chris is good and certainly not the type of hobby I was thinking of, but I really do want to get back in the driving seat. Especially if there is a mad man out there. I don’t want to be caught having to walk home by myself. And I do like spending time with him. He makes me laugh and makes me feel nice. I like that feeling. He also makes me stop thinking about a sexy green eyed guy.
“Sure thing, but no need to pay me. I’m happy to help.” He puts his arms around my chair and leans in closer to me. He plasters his award winning smile on his handsome face.
“However, if you did want to pay me, I’m sure we could come up with something.” He has his cocky smirk on his face, which tells me he’s only teasing me. So I decide play along with him. The bell rings giving me chance to reply and then make a quick get away.
“Well, I’m sure we could work something out” I say with a smirk and wink of my own, and then quickly grab Amber and Rachel’s arm and walk out of the lunch room.
“See I told you he was a great guy. You gonna get on that.” Rachel says. I think only she could actually pull off what she says. If I was to say some of the things she does I would just sound like an idiot.
“No I’m not ‘gonna get on that’. He’s not a horse you know. How’s things going with Ryan?” I reply back. Trying to get the attention on her and not me and Chris. Not that there even is a ‘me and Chris’.
“Well actually, I’ve decided I’m going to take charge and ask him out. This is the 21st century and women have been taking charge for years now. So it’s time I stepped up.” She stands up straighter as she talks as if the emphasise her point.
“Good for you Rach, I hope he see’s what a catch you are. If not I may have to have a word with him.” We split off to our different classes ready to finish our day.
I had already pre arranged to meet Amber at her car after final bell, we get there almost at the same time. We make easy conversation on the ride home. I’m glad that I met her. I think I needed someone like her. She is always so happy and cheerful, I think otherwise being in a new school may have majorly sucked. We pull onto my drive and she suddenly stops taking. I look ahead to my house so see what has her speechless, after all it doesn’t happen very often.
Oh.
“Um...I think someone’s waiting for you. Are you ok? Do you need me to stay? I’ll Stay” She says quickly, like she can’t get her words out fast enough. I just shake my head, but without taking my eyes off the sight in front of me. I’ve been dying to see him all day. Now that’s he’s here, I don’t know what
