Right then, some awful and horrible thought crossed my mind when Alex swerved the car to drive into the parking lot of St-Xavier high school, making me actually say or rather scream something breaking the silence in the car which had been lingering between us for the whole ride.

"Shoot, stop!", I cried out loud and waved my hands at Alex to stop the car. Alex jumped and pressed the brake all at once.

The car came to an abrupt stop, making a screeching sound and all three of us were nearly thrown out of our seats. Thank god, we had seat belts on. I huffed out a sigh of relief but almost jumped out of my seat again when I heard Alex's sudden alarming voice cry out. 

"What the hell, Shelly?", Alex exclaimed out loud and narrowed his eyes at me.

"Uh- uh I ... ", I trailed off and looked down at my hands rested on my lap.

How do I tell them that? Bloody shit! God, are you free right now because I really need your help? How will I tell them that their reputations will be destroyed if they are seen entering school with me? With me! A pathetic loser and a nobody. Well, I've always been considered a nerd which I'm definitely not. I'm just a nobody and a loner who care only about her grades to pass high school and get the hell out of here. 

I'm glad that they have given me a ride to school but this shouldn't be the case from now on. I don't care about Aiden or his gang. Oh maybe I do. But I can't risk Alex and Max's reputation like this. I agree that my life might be in danger but - hell! This is so difficult. I finally looked up to meet Alex's worried eyes and Max's penetrating glare. I breathe in a lungful of air when my eyes met Max's. I gulped hard and shuddered under his stare.

"I- I should p-probably get o-out.", I stuttered quickly and unbuckled my seat belt with my trembling hands but I couldn't. They were shaking a bit too much.

"Hey, cool down. Is there anything wrong?", Alex asked worriedly and unbuckled my seat belt for me since my hands decided now would be the perfect time to shake in fear. He studied me and waited for an answer but I just couldn't. I don't know. How the hell am I supposed to tell them that? Wouldn't they think that I'm deranged at this point? 

"I- I n-need to g-go.", I simply replied and Alex nodded after a while but I could still feel like he wanted an answer but he did not push it. He opened the door for me and I grabbed my bag to get out but a hand seized my right wrist and pulled me back. I yelped in fright. No, I was so close to freedom. 

"Where the fucking shit do you think you're going?", Max whisper-yelled through gritted teeth and seized my wrist even more in anger.

"Please, Max!", I tried to pull away but he wouldn't let go. He did not even blink or bulge. It was as if he was deeply in thought. Like in a daze. Thinking about something but what? I wouldn't know. 

"Please, Max! You're hurting me.", I cried out in pain and tried to remove his grasp on me but in vain. A few tears began flowing down my cheeks when I couldn't endure the pain and I hold them back anymore.
