Chapter 29

The school for some reason is weirdly devoid of activities, as we walk around to see  students casually lounging around the hallways. The whole school is awash in a wierd sort of vibe and I can't think why.

Maybe it's just the fact that the teachers seem to be on a field trip and so have left a huge building to the imaginations of a large group of students. Eyes follow us as we walk the hallways. Oakley intentionally causes trouble as she schools her beautiful face into a glare and makes the boys she confronts in the hallways stutter and grasp for words.

She just randomly goes up to any boy she sees and starts interrogating them with questions that are purely stupid. The people she assaults though can't seem to see the stupidity of her questions and still try to offer answers. I mean what sort of answers can you have for "what were you doing on the moon last night?".

I shove her with my elbow as she sights another guy and that twinkle enters her eyes. "This is the gymnasium" I say to Scott pointing to an open door. I don't want to go in. I can already hear the voices inside from this far out. We've basically gone through half the school now and I'm currently heading to the swimming pool. We won't go in there too. I hate this school.

Scott chuckles at something I can't see, as I watch Oakley walk back to me with a disgraced expression on her face. "Finally met your match?" I say as her cheeks turn pink "shut it". Her expression makes me laugh and I can see Eras smiling a bit .

He's still having that thing where he isn't happy and I'm trying to change it. "It'll soon be the end of yet another school day so I bid you guys goodbye" Scott says as he walks away from us. I can see Eras watch him as he leaves us with an intensity that suprises me "You guys had a fight?" I ask and unlike Scott who will never say anything to you about how he's feeling even if it kills him, Eras actually nods.

"We said things that hurt each other" he says looking out the window. "Did he hurt you?" I ask. Eras only nods and gives me a killer smile "If you go whoop your brother because of me where would that leave my integrity?" I make to grab his cheek and pull it but he moves away laughing.

"Don't bother" he says as I stand to look at him, "I'm a man, we fight our own battles". Oakley laughs and gives him the sort of mocking side eye that would make any other person angry. It dosen't make Eras angry though. It just makes that handsome face of his scrunch up and turn into a seemingly proud grin. We all laugh at this and I can see his spirits are at least a bit lighter now.

He gives me a smile that makes me blush. " How about a ride home?" He asks. Yayyy, another ride in the Bugatti.
