During those 40 minutes Kaiden had been relentless in his attack like he was so deep in thought. It didn't matter anyway because she was distracted by what the boys had said earlier or rather what they implied. Declan and Kaiden were usually partners and that was fine, but it was more what Kaiden said after that. Something about everyone jumping to verse her or was it his tone? Before I could continue my train of thought, Kater's booming voice called out dismissing us. As I turned towards the door I caught Kaiden's stare but I couldn't tell what it meant before the rest of the boys came, pushing us towards the door.
"Well that went well?" Declan said as we walked up the hill.
"NO!" Kaiden and I say in unison. The boys turn and look at us. Then the weirdest thing happened, Sebastian whispered something along the lines of "Just admit it already"
"What's THAT supposed to mean!" I ask with venom. What is he talking about? By the look on Kaiden's face he didn't no either but angry wasn't the word to describe it. Furious was.
"What are you talking about!" Kaiden seeths, "Is this about earlier?"
"E-excuse ME but are you talking about how all of YOU thought I was helpless?! Well, Kaiden I have something to tell you! I saved your life once, James. A girl whos completely useless wouldn't be able to do that, would she?" I practically yell. It also didn't help that we were near the food court and there were people staring on there way in. No doubt tomorrow there would be whispering wherever she went but today was going to be worse for Kaiden as everyone regerstred her words meaning. When no one spoke up I stare each boy in the eyes and say with hurt, "I guess you only kept me around to laugh at. Well go find someone else to pick on because I quit!" Before I can see their reactions I sprint for my room.
As soon as the door clicks shut I slid to the floor and hug my legs to my chest. I go over all the times the Combat boys laughed with me or was it laughed AT me. Before I fully register what happened heavy footsteps come to a stop outside the door followed by frantic knocking on the followed by concerned voices. My friends.
"Alex we heard-"
"-and we came-"
"-as soon as we-"
"-could." They all finished at the same time
"Al just let us in and we can talk." Dix called from the otherside of the door. I don't answer. I can't. If only I could get out without being seen like Jordan. As if my prayers had been answered, a door appeared at the window. I scramble towards my escape, grabbing a pillow and blanket on the way out. Thank goodness I wasn't dirty from Combat. And then I ran for the darkness.
