~ Chapter Thirteen: Runaway Love (previously known as I'm In Love With A Nerd) ~

I've escaped from several things.

Mrs Briggs' lessons, the house, school, Carly's and Freddie's house, and even that one time in juvenile.

But escaping from a garbage truck was definitely the most difficult escape that I performed.

First of all, the trash kept on piling up by the minute until it reached my shoulders. I had to actually swim my way through.

And as if adding insult to injury, I was carrying Cat all the through one side to the other of the vehicle, hoisted her up on my shoulder and somehow I managed to get us both out from the garbage truck.

The girl may appear to not weigh much but trust me when I say looks are deceiving.

I carried her until we were off the street and she landed on the ground with an oompf. Still, she wouldn't stir.

That's when I caught sight of the leafblower that was seated a few feet away from me, unattended. I went to pick it up before coming back to Cat.

Aiming the leaf blower straight to her face, I turned it on. The gust of wind blew on her face and the hair on her shoulders which fell to the ground.

Cat, after a few seconds, began to giggle and held her hands protectively in front of her face. I moved the leaf blower from side to side until I was certain that she was awake.

After that, I turned it off and placed it down beside me.

"What happened?" She asked, after getting over her giggling fit. "What smells so bad?"

"That happens to be us because we had gone dumpster diving," I answered, lending her a hand.

She took it and stood up. Then the redhead nodded her head. "I remember. We were in a garbage truck...but I can't remember much after that," 

"That's because you fainted,"

"Oh right!" Cat slapped her hand on her forehead. "Then please, Sam Puckell, let me bless you with the gift of bathing,"
