Following Lindsey

(Bradin's P.O.V)

"Ok, bye" I waved to a few people and then running up to Lindsey's car noticed she had just taken off, and didn't even say bye? I was confused; she had never done this before. Past few weeks we've been friends and talked and I was falling for Lindsey more and more, but now that was too much to think about.

I dialed her cell phone number and she answered thankfully. "Hey Cay" I called her Cay sometime because of her last name; Clayton and found Clay weird and Lindsey too long so I took out the l and she just accepted it. "Hey Brae, listen uhh can I just hang out tomorrow I'm kind of busy, I'll call you tonight bye" I shrugged, not like she was tied to my wrist, she had her own life. "Yeah sure, cool, I'll see you around…but umm where are you if I can kn…" I didn't get a chance to finish because the line hung up.

I stared at the clock once I got home. 2:30, 3:30, 5:30, wait huh? I had apparently fallen asleep, I was getting worried about why Lindsey ignored me and why she totally refused to tell me, I guess some secrets weren't yet revealed and there was a special something she kept hidden.

6:30, 7:30, 8:30…All I did all day was watch TV in my room and wait for Lindsey to call; this was very unlike Bradin Westerly. "You are pathetic Brae, get off your butt and call her or go surf, do ANYTHING but don't mope around waiting for a girl to call" I rolled my eyes at Nikki's comment and decided she was right.

Getting out of bed I grabbed my board, my wetsuit and ran outside while there was still some light. Surfing helped me relax and I didn't know what I would do if I lost my board, and right now I'm glad I didn't because I had a lot to think about. When I came in after about an hour I heard my phone beep, a text message. It was from Lindsey,

Hey Brae, sorry I couldn't call, got caught up I had to work so I'll see you tomorrow smooches

3 Cay

Shrugging, I pulled off my wetsuit, pulled on my clothes and walked off. After getting home I walked through the door, and no one really was home so I was not going to be tortured with questions. I checked my watch, it read 11:34 and I had no idea why I was out this late but I've had a lot to think about and needed to spend the time relaxing with my board and the water, where I belonged. I washed up and got into bed and still heard no one in the house which was a good thing at this point. I tossed for what felt like hours but then when checking the clock said it had only been about 30 minutes. Time was dragging by so I decided to watch the clock and before I knew it I had lost track of time and fell into a restless sleep.

I walked into school the next day and running over to my locker, grabbed a few books, and ran back trying to avoid all the people and not wanting to be late since I had gotten stuck in traffic anyways. Just as I set foot into the door the bell rang and the teacher looked up at me along with the entire class.

"Westerly, late again" I groaned, "What! No! I wasn't late I got stuck in traffic and then…" she put her hand up for me to stop talking. "Don't care, detention tomorrow" a few people laughed and some smiled and shrugged at me. "Fuck this man" I mumbled walking up to the teacher and taking the hall pass to go to the office and grab a detention form.

"Nice Westerly" I heard one of my friends say, I rolled my eyes and hissed at him and walked out of the classroom. Walking down a few feet past I saw Lindsey slip out of the class and just as I thought she was going to the bathroom with the pass, she stuck it into her book bag and ran through the front door.

"Huh…wait maybe NOW I'll find out the whole mystery behind Mrs. Lindsey disappearing all the time" I smiled and went out the side door, got into my car and followed hers memorizing the license plate so I wouldn't lose her.

We drove a good 20 minutes before she went around a big glass building and parked in a deserted parking lot. I was careful for her not to see me so I stayed in my car until she got out.

She walked out of the car, opened the trunk, pulled out a sports bag and a jacket and walked inside. Still confused, was this her job? As soon as she went inside I got out, grabbed my wallet and when I got inside I noticed it was a skating rink. I didn't see Lindsey but I watched an amazing figure skater on the ice.

A few turns, twirls and jumps but she looked amazing! I couldn't take my eyes off of her so I totally lost track of time and noticed I didn't see Lindsey yet and I was at the only door so she couldn't have not come out without me seeing her.

About 20 minutes later I checked my watch and I noticed that I had skipped school but not like I haven't done it before, they don't care, so I didn't bother going back. About an hour or so later the girl on the ice pulled up closer to me not even noticing I was standing there.

She had her blonde hair pulled up into a large braid and on top of her head. She had on a pair of thin sweatpants and a tank top but skated like a pro. Just as I was about to give up I noticed her sports bag a little ways down the bleachers from me so she would come here, I knew I wanted to meet her. As soon as she did she gasped, and she wasn't the only one.

"Bradin!"

"Lindsey!"

We stared at each other. "Wow" she grabbed her stuff, let her hair down quickly and looked at me and looked away. "I gotta go, bye" she ran out and I wasn't able to grab her arm as she got into her car and drove off. She had surprised me, was this her big secret? I had to find out. I texted her since she didn't pick up her phone.

Hey Cay, sorry about today I am curious though, secrets safe with me but I REALLY want to know!
