Second chances

Chapter 13

I crawl behind Mike hoping to get out of here soon. It's really dirty and even though it's actually an air duct I feel like I don't get enough  air. At least I decided to wear comfortable clothes . I'm wearing black leggings, white sneakers and a light blue hoodie that makes my eyes look more intense my hair is put into a messy bun. And no not one of the pretty ones everyone else seems to make without any struggles.

Gracie isn't with us. I asked Marlon and Mike and they said that we're with some other people as well tonight and they wouldn't be okay with it. I of course explained her the situation but I feel really bad but I'm not in the place to just invite someone.

As Mike came to show me the way trough the air duct he told me that we're gonna be in a room of a friend instead of his and some other friends than last time are coming. Could get interesting.

Like the last time Mike helps me get out of the air duct but this time I don't feel uncomfortable under his touch. Mike and I are becoming close friends but I think we'll only be that... close friends. Even though he still calls me all these nick names. The only name I told him not say is princess. I can't here these words from someone else.

The room we are in today is really different than Mike and Marlons. The whole room is a lot cleaner and I can't stop myself from smiling at the lack of decoration. My style.

Marlon, Austin and a new boy are already  sitting on one of the beds. I greet them and sit down on the other bed. Not missing the strange look Mike and Marlon give each other.

"That's Tyler.", Mike introduces the boy.
He did learn I'm proud. Have to say that I told him he always has to introduce friends of his that don't know each other. Someone has to teach these boys some manners.

Some strange noices let me look up to the ceiling were someone gets out of the air duct. At first I see a guy with dark dreadlocks. He walks towards Tyler and greets him and the others as I watch Noah come down after him. Just now I remember these guys to be the ones sitting with Noah at lunch time last week. Noah looks super sexy with the messed up hair and I stop myself thinking about muddling his hair. What is wrong with me?!

As he sees me he narrows his eyes but walks in my direction to let himself fall onto the bed. What is he doing? I stare at him as he makes his hair ignoring me completely. What have I done now?

Mike introduces me to the last guy turns out his name is Jamal. I get stuff from Marlon again and am about to finish rolling as I catch Noahs look. He's staring at me.

"Problem?", I talk really quiet to not interrupt the conversation of the others.

"Only curious princess.", he winks at me.

"Bout what?", I light my joint taking a deep breath.

"A lot of things..."

"You're so annoying...", I roll my eyes at him just let me enjoy this evening like seriously.

"And you're getting annoyed really easily... I'm gonna tell you what I'm curious about anyway.", he gives me a smile like he just gave me a present making me raise my eyebrows.

"I mean I was just wondering why you decided to lay on my bed...", he starts laughing seeing my shocked face as I realize my mistake. We're in his room and I decided to lay down on his bed. God damn it. That explains the weird look Mike and Marlon gave each other earlier. Why didn't they say something?

After thinking about how I should react I decide to stay in this position. Last week he layed on my bed too and wouldn't get up. I'm also sure he doesn't mind as much as I did.

"Last week you were the one laying on my bed remember."

He gives me a glare. "Don't remind me that really hurt."
