Part 15

"So he just barged into the bathroom?", Jack asked as we walked out of class,

"Yep.",

"He's trouble.", he said,

"I know. I wonder why some girls fall for him. He's a total jerk. You're not annoying either.",

"Thanks.", I said and looked down at my feet as we walked,

"Are you going to the lake party this weekend?", Jack asked changing the subject,

"I don't know...", 

"Aw. I was looking forward to seeing you and Lily.",

"Lily might go. I'll think about it though.", I said,

"Yes! It will be fun.", he said,

"Are you planning on asking out Lily at the party.", I asked,

"Maybe.", he said and I looked over at him to see a smile on his face,

"Ladies man over here.", I joked and nudged his shoulder. He laughed and pulled out his phone to see the time.

"Okay, I have to go to my next class. I'll see ya later.", he said,

"Okay bye.", I smiled and he turned in the other direction. I walked over to the parking lot and started walking towards my car. I pulled my keys out, but I screamed when someone grab my arm and pinned me against a car. I squeezed my eyes shut as they held my wrist,

"Why the hell did you scream so loud?", the person asked and I recognized their voice. I slowly opened my eyes to see Tom standing in front of me.

"When someone grabs you from out of nowhere, you kinda want to scream so someone can save you if you're being abducted.", I said,

"Save you from who? Me?", he asked, but I just stayed silent.

He scoffed and let go of my wrist.

" You're so overdramatic. Get in the car.", he said sternly,

"What no-", but he interrupted me,

"Get in the damn car.", he said more loudly this time. 

I stayed silent and quickly got in. He slammed the door shut and walked to the other side. I put my bag on my feet and held my phone. He got in and started the car. He pulled out of the parking lot and started driving. There was no music playing just the intense weight of awkwardness filling the small space. He continued driving and I didn't say a word. I heard him sigh and I could see him look at me from the corner of my eye.

"I'm sorry for making you cry this morning.", he said with a soft voice. This is all way too confusing. He goes from yelling at me to apologizing in a snap.

"It's okay.", I mumbled quietly and looked down at my hands,

"I'm also sorry for yelling at you.", he said,

"It's okay.", I said quietly once again. He stopped talking and I looked around the car. It was pretty clean. There were only a couple of white and black t-shirts in the backseat, but other than that it was really clean.

"I know what you're thinking.", he said while keeping his eyes focused on the road. I looked at him confused not sure by what he meant.

"You're wondering why my car is so clean. You probably thought it would be a dump.", he said. I didn't know how to respond to that so I just smiled a little bit and nodded my head.

"Where are we going?", I asked,

"You'll see.", he says and smirks.
