Chapter 3- Invited

Ally's Pov.

Me and Hayden agreed to meet in the library at lunch to plan our hike. I got to the library first so I sat down where I always sit. I put my head down and waited. While I was waiting I noticed someone standing behind me. I knew that it wasn't Hayden. Whoever it was had threating aura surrounding them. I sat up and turned around to see Snotlout towering over me.

"You know that you used to chase Hayden into hiding in the library just to avoid you and yet here you sit. Now you are the hiding. How ironic."

"What exactly do you want?"

"I just wanted to remind you of what you did. Of all the things you ever said and did to Hayden and yet you still expect Hayden to forgive you after everything!"

With that he swiftly punched me in the stomach and left.

And it wasn't exactly a soft punch. He punched me hard and it was going to leave a big bruise that was going to take a while to heal.

I put my head down and pulled my hood up. I started to silently sob when I heard someone coming toward me. I stopped sobbing but kept my head down.

"Hey Ally."

"H-h-hey H-H-Hayden."

I felt like I had no control over my own voice.

"Are you ok? Did someone hurt you?"

"I am f-f-fine."

"You don't sound fine."

I took a deep breath and I felt like I had control of my voice again.

"Don't worry Hayden I am perfectly fine."

"Ok."

I could hear the scepticism in his voice but I knew there was no way to reassure him without telling what had just happened so I decided to change the subject.

"So about the hike tomorrow."

"Yeah."

"I was thinking that maybe we could have lunch in the clearing."

"Ya that sounds like a great idea!"

"Great. So shouldn't you go have lunch with your friends?"

"Nah. They can manage without me."

"Ok but I am not the best company. I tend to read more than I talk."

"It's fine. I tend to check my phone or fall asleep."

"Ok. It's your funeral."

I took out my book and started to read. I looked over the top of my book to see Hayden half-heartedly look through his messages.

Hayden's Pov.

I was looking through my messages when I got one from Snotlout.

"Hey Hayden. Guess what!"

"What?"

"Scott is having a party on Saturday and he invited the 12th Grade."

"Awesome."

"Yeah."

"Wait does that include Ally?"

"Yeah. Don't ask me why but she is invited. Scott sent a message blast to the whole grade but I figured that you wouldn't really check your messages so I decided to personally fill you in. You're Welcome."

"Thanks."

"No Problem."

I put my phone away and looked at Ally.

"Hey so you are aware that you were invited to Scott's party on Saturday. Right."

"Yeah. I am totally aware and no I do not plan on going."

"Why not. Parties are fun!"

"Parties aren't exactly my thing."

"Come on. Come to the party and I promise you will have a total blast."

"I am not about to win this argument am I?"

"No, no you are not."

"Ugh. Fine."

"Great see you there."

With that I got up and I was about to leave before-

"Wait. You expect me to walk there. That's like an hours walk!"

"You don't have a car."

"No Hayden. Not everybody owns a car."

"Ok. Then I will pick you up at 6 sharp."

"Ok."

I left the library and headed to my last class.

Ally's Pov.

I couldn't believe what had just happened! Hayden was going to pick me up then take me to some party and still take me home that is just a lot more than what I expected from someone who partly hates me.
