No prob, glad to help! C ya.
Taylor Mckessie closed her phone and looked up to catch the last bit of class.
"Okay, class dismissed. Until we pick up after break, on the astronomical structures...above. OOOH" Everyone laughed... more at him than with him at his joke.
Sighing, the girl got up. Although it was basically freezing outside, Taylor wore a mohogany skirt with matching boots. A dark green denim jacket over a long sleeve mohogany blouse -slightly a little lighter than the boots and skirt. A dark brown bag slung around one shoulder.
Walking, her shoulder length hair would bounce up and down softly, which she thought hi-lighted her curls. And to top it off, the most-adored head band in Taylor's possessions consisting of white green and mohogany, of course, colors.
Smiling at a fellow dormmate, she walked outside across the few parking lots to the ride board. Papers and pictures of assorted people, cars, numbers and destinations came into view.
And she saw it. White paper with 'Delaware Ride, Call 555-2248'.
Taking the number down on a piece of paper, she smiled.
"Good... no dirty Gray Hound with a bunch of old people." She looked around before heading in the direction of her dorm.
Halfway to her dorm, she had a pang of pain in her stomach possibly signaling that she needed to fill it...
And on top of the thought of being hungry, she wouldn't mind a few cups of cappucino.
"Ugh thank you lord for Fridays and winter break."
Just then, she felt a vibration in her pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I was gonna go with Benny to the movies, wanna come?"
"Uhh... no I'm fine thanks. I was actually gonna walk over to Uno's for some pizza or spaghetti or something. But I really want a cappuccino."
"Mmkay... wait hold on." Faint mumbling in the background could be heard and then Gabriella came back to the phone. "Hey wait, we'll meet you there kay?"
"Kay, fine c ya there then."
'Well... at least I wont be alone.'
While walking Taylor could feel the awkward silence creeping up on her. She could almost swear that someone was behind her watching or walking.
'No... its just paranoia. Its gotta be.' Her heart began beating faster and faster until she could feel its pulsing through her neck and temples.
She wouldn't dare turn around and look, afraid that she would make them aware that she knew of their presence. If there was a 'their presence'.
Uno's was just ahead and it was a public place. No one could dare hurt her there.
She stopped right in front of the door to Uno's and pretended to look for something in her bag and listened for anything to alert her of any type of presence.
And, yes, there was a faint crunch of snow heard and then silence. It sounded far. But just because it sounded far didn't mean that she would stop being cautious.
Reluctant to hear the oh-so-famous jazz music playing inside the pizza place, and the clanging of plates, she went and found a seat in the corner of the room.
Watching out the window to find the person following her, she found no one.
After about 10 minutes of waiting and sipping cappuccinos, a few guys came into the fast-food joint. Football players, she assumed. A minute later, kind of weak and disheveled guy, alone, came in.
Actually, he looked like he had some muscle, just not as much as the other boys before him.
He looked at her and then went to a seat across the room. And finally, in came Gabby and Benny.
"Hey took yall long enough."
"Yeah it was her fault she had to change because she spilled a pop on her shirt. Then she made me choose another "cute" shirt for her to put on." Benny stated. He looked over to a sandy-blonde hair, blue-eyed boy staring in the direction of Taylor.
And when the blue eyes met with Benny's brown eyes, they jolted toward the window.
Gabriella giggled and punched him playfully on the shoulder.
"I did not take that long and you wanted to come and choose my shirt... remember?" She finished with a kiss and a vally girl giggle again.
"Oh lord. Not now please I want to eat. No disgusting pucker-facing please."
"Come on you know you need a boyfriend, dude. College is nothing without one..." She said once again with a kiss with Benny.
"Agh.. stop."
"Look, I can find you one sitting in this restaurant." She squinted and looked around for any guy and found one sitting by his lonesome. She nodded in approval and turned toward Taylor again. "There you go. Him."
She pointed to the same guy Taylor thought had the disheveled brown/blonde hair. "He's...okay. But honestly I am fine!"
Benny looked at the guy and saw him looking back. The guy got up and walked to the door. Not before smiling in Taylor's direction did he go outside.
"Taylor?"
"Yeah?" She sipped on her cup.
"That guy you and Gabby were just talking about. He was looking at you... I think this entire time.
(A/N) This is the first chappy of my second story. And trust me even though this chapter is really bad, the storyline gets much more intense. Hopefully . REVIEW!
