your eyes like that.”
Nodding in agreement he laughs along with me. “It is weird to see myself like this as well, but this is the only way I can really fit in around here.”
Pausing for a moment he holds his arm out to me. “My truck is just over there.”
Taking his arm I allow him to lead me over to the passenger side door where he lifts me up and into the seat by my waist.
Sliding over to the middle, Dillon slips in beside me while London heads back around to the driver’s side.
Glancing around out the front windshield I notice no other cars in the driveway other than my father’s.
“Did everyone else leave already?” I inquire curiously looking to London for an answer.
He shares a quickly look with Dillon before he answers. “Yeah, they had already left before we even came out to wait for you.”
Starting the truck the engine roars, efficiently cutting off our conversation and making it nearly impossible to think.
I don’t know why his answer bothered me so much.
Something felt off about Gage not at least waiting for me, he was always nearby waiting to follow my bike to school just to ensure I got there safely.
Then again maybe he just didn’t want to raise suspicion when London and Dillon were going to be tagging along with me today.
Still, things just felt odd.
Thankfully, the trip to school goes by quickly and somewhat quietly other than the loud roar of the truck’s engine.
Parking the truck Dillon jumps out without a word leaving London and I alone.
“Do you need to go into the front office?” I ask.
He shakes his head while pulling out a slip of paper. “No, Rixon took care of everything for me. He said that all I would have to do is follow you around.”
Taking the paper from his hand I study the list of classes he would have.
I shouldn’t have been surprised to see he had every one of my classes, but it struck me as odd considering Gage, Rowan, and even Brock hadn’t shared all of my classes like this.
Shrugging the odd feeling off once again I hand his paper back. “Alright then, let’s get inside before the first bell rings and we’re considered late.”
He nods opening his door and jumping out before motioning me to slip out his side. “I’ll catch you.”
Sliding over I reluctantly allow him to place his hands on my hips as I jump down from his truck.
His hands linger just a few moments longer than I would have liked as he grins down at me. “I’m sorry we haven’t really gotten to know each other much, Parker, but I’m hoping this will help.”
Letting me go he runs his hand nervously through his hair before continuing on. “I really hope we can get to know each other better, I want you to feel comfortable around me.”
“I am comfortable around you, London.” I reassure. “You did save my life after all, that gives you an extra star in my book.”
He grins widely as we make our way into the school. “That’s good to know, I’ll have to make it more of a routine to save pretty girls like yourself.”
“Well. I hope you don’t make that too much of a habit.” I tease.
Smirking he wraps his arm around my shoulder. “How about I just continue to save just one girl then?”
I nod a bit uneasy as he glances down at me.
Pulling away from his arm I walk us over to my locker and then to our first class.
This day was going to crawl by, I could already tell.
It was going to be filled with more awkward moments and me pushing him away.
Gage had been right by wanting me to come clean sooner rather than later about our secret relationship, but at least after dinner I wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of attention anymore.
It would just be me and him.
9-Father Knows Best
A fter a long day of school and leading around London like a lost puppy we were finally on our way home.
I couldn’t wait to get home so I could figure out why none of the others had gone to school at all.
