Follow me home

Chapter 2

As the last bell for the day rings, I scramble to my feet and run to the door not wanting to be late.

Storing down the corridor, I see Jay and Kara waiting for me at the front doors as usual. We live about 5 minutes apart me being in the middle of them two so we tend to travel home together.

But not today. Pulling the hood of my jacket up as far as it goes, I scramble past them and towards the bike shed attempting to waste as little time there as possible. Unlocking my bike, I wheel it through the gates and just as I'm about to climb on, I hear a very familiar voice call my name.

Damn it,I'm going to be late. I can't be late again I'll lose customers. Gritting my teeth, I plaster on a cheery smile which oozed with fake vibes and turn around to face my two friends who slowly approach me.

I wonder if I can still run, I mean I could pretend not to hear them.

Laughing awkwardly through my false smile, I scratch the back of my neck still contemplating is it was too late to run.They both stopped in front of me with Kara panting like an overweight dog who just experienced exercise for the first time.

Nope, I guess I can't.

Still hunched over, she panted out,"where are you going?" Tilting her head back slightly to look at me I see the confused look evident on her chocolate brown face.

I looked to her left to see a slightly less out of breath Jay looking at Kara with concern. He's probably worried she might keel over from all that running I thought as I looked between the two.

Sifting through my mind in attempt to justify how I basically ditched my friends, I suddenly blurt out the first thing that pops into my mind.

"I have diarrhoea!"

I blurted a tad bit too loudly as passers by looked at me with disgust on their faces. My face started to itch slightly as an uncomfortable heat rushed up my face to my scalp.

Ugh really Jazz was that what your great explanation was, gosh if you weren't me I would've pretended not to know you. Hell I would to it now if people could hear me. Deary me.

After a very awkward moment of silence -filled with creped out looks from my friends, I am created with a chorus of laughter as my friends double I've whilst clutching their midsection's. Gasping for air they both collapse on one another almost supporting each other in their laughing state.

Nice to know your friends realise how embarrassing you are too. My mind butts in without invitation.

Hey that was kind of harsh, don't you think? I mentally retaliate.

"Di...did...you just scream that?" Jay attempted to gasp out resulting in a mini coughing fit.

Thumping him on the back, Kara says," I knew it wasn't mW that farted at lunch! I just knew it. Didn't I tell you jay?" She continued to thump the dying .an on the back completely ignoring his flinching.

"Can you stop trying to kill me? Your going to leave a bruise." Jay scolds Kara which leads to another one of their fights. Honestly these two should just date I mean they already bicker as if they've been married for years.

Rolling my eyes, I glance at my watch realising that its now almost 4 pm school finished 35 minutes ago. I need to get going right now. Taking one glance at them, I realise they won't be stopping anytime soon so I mount my bike ready to ride off.

Just as I'm about to go, I turn back and say a goodbye that the lovebirds probably didn't hear and speed off home.

Racing home with a pounding heart, I unlock the door and walk in. Closing the door quietly, I glance around seeing no one home. With a relieved sigh, I make my way to the staircase by the living room. Stepping one foot on the steps, I begin to climb just to be stopped my a deep and deadly voice coming from the living room archway.

"You're late, again." The voice rumbles.

I freeze on the first step.
