Allison fell in step with Isaac as they walked through the corridor of Beacan Hills High School.
"You decided to join me." Isaac said still walking towards the double doors. Once they walked out the doors they were free.
"Yeah well..." Well? Allison mentally scolded herself. Well what, Allison?! She thought. Truth is, Allison didn't know why she was following Isaac out of the school building. He was just a one night stand she assumed she would never see again and now she's walking out of school with him, ditching the mandatory assembly.
Isaac smirked to himself and ignored Allison's "Yeah well..." response. They walked out of the school building and Allison followed as Isaac made his way over to a motorcycle and got on. He motioned for Allison to get on the back but she just stood there, a dubious expression painted on her facial features.
"I've never ridden on a motorcycle before." She confessed.
"Don't worry, I won't crash." Isaac winked, he handed her the only helmet as she got on the back of the bike. He pulled out the keys and turned the bike on, Allison's heartbeat quickened as the bike roared to life.
"Now the way this works," Isaac said over the deafening sound of the motorcycle, "is that you wrap your hands around my torso, you know like you did last night?"
Allison felt her cheeks get hot with embarrassment. How dare he casually say that? He was so blasé about the whole thing. Allison complied and wrapped her hands around Isaac's torso. She closed her eyes preparing herself for the motorcycle to start moving. She heard the sound of the engine taking off, waiting a couple minutes, she finally opened her eyes. There was a stretch of road in front of them that Allison recognized. Two more minutes of riding and Isaac stopped the motorcycle. They were in the woods. If Allison didn't run in the woods every other morning she would have been nervous. After all, what guy brings someone to the woods when they ditch school? She got off the bike and shook her hair out of the helmet, knocking her glasses off.
"Here," Isaac said, picking up Allison's sunglasses and returning them back to her.
"Thanks. So the woods? Is this where you bring all your dates?" Allison joked.
"Only you." Isaac replied. The response brought a smile to her face. It was possible Isaac was lying, but she held on to the two words as if she were drowning and this was her life savor.
Isaac started to lead the way into the woods until he found a big rock. He sat down on the ground and leaned against it. Allison sat next to him and stared straight into the woods. Down to the right was an old burned down house that's best known as the make-out spot.
"So, Isaac." Allison said, drowning out Isaac's name. "About last night, I-"
Isaac interrupted Allison with a laugh. It was (much to Allison's dismay) genuine. Like Allison said a funny joke.
"What?!"
"Out of all the things we could be talking about, you chose that. A typical girl move." Isaac said, meeting Allison's eyes. She broke eye contact by rolling her eyes and staring into the tress ahead of them.
"I just thought it might be awkward. If I knew you would be attending the same school as me I would have..." Allison was growing irritated with herself. She had no idea what to say next to Isaac. She's never become flustered and out of words in front of a guy before. She let the sentence hang in the air, waiting for a reply.
"Awkward for you, maybe. Not for me. Don't worry about it, it happens." That warranted a scoff from Allison. Isaac spoke casually like he's been in this situation plenty of times before, which he probably has.
"Let's just start out with a fresh slate. I'm Allison Argent, I'm 17 years old and am currently hoping this doesn't get any more awkward than it already is."
"I'm Isaac Lahey, 16, I work the night job at the graveyard and moved here to spend the year with my dad and to play lacrosse."
"Your parents divorced?" Allison asked. Hoping she wasn't pushing any boundaries, this is the first official conversation they've had.
"Yep. My dads an ass," Isaac clenched his jaw before he continued talking. His dad was always a sensitive issue to talk about with other people. Just thinking about his father made him angry. "But there wasn't a lacrosse team at my old school and lacrosse is something I enjoy, so I did some research and apparently Beacan Hills has the best lacrosse team in California."
Silence fell between the two of them. 10 minutes passed and Allison sighed as she rose to her feet, dusting off pieces of dirt that hang clung to the butt of her black jeans.
"Leaving so soon?" Isaac asked looking up to meet Allison's eyes.
"Yeah, well if I knew you were going to bring me to the woods to stare at nature I would have stayed at school."
"Actually, I brought you to the woods to make out but-"
"Of course you did." Allison sighed. She turned on her heel and started to walk the path out of the woods. Isaac scrambled to his feet and ran up to Allison. When she wouldn't slow her pace he ran ahead and turned around, walking backwards so he could talk to her face-to-face. "You're not a 'bad boy' you're just an asshole." Allison grumbled.
Isaac smirked "You thought I was a 'bad boy'?" He asked, putting air quotes around bad boy.
Rolling her eyes Allison wished she could take back what she just said. Of course he would be flattered by that.
"You're about to-" Before Allison could warn Isaac, he tripped over a fallen branch and fell flat on his back. Despite his pained facial expression, Allison couldn't help but laugh at his clumsiness. Bad boy my ass she thought to herself.
"Instead of laughing, will you please help me up?" Isaac extended his hand.
Still laughing, Allison met Isaac's hand and attempted to help him up. Isaac smirked, once Allison's soft hands met his, he pulled her forward. She let out a yelp before she fell right on top of him. Now it was Isaac's turn to burst into laughter.
Allison glared at Isaac and rolled off him and onto a pile of leaves.
"Asshole." She huffed.
Isaac rolled over so his face was mere inches from Allison's. He took in her features. Her defined jawline, her brown eyes that were only a shade lighter than her hair, her lips. God, her lips. Isaac couldn't help but stare at them, thoughts of kissing Allison clouded his head.
Allison felt uncomfortable under his observing blue eyes. She watched as he soaked up all of her features. Isaac slowly leaned in as if to kiss Allison. They stopped when they were forehead to forehead, nose to nose. Allison leaned in to kiss Isaac then quickly pulled back. Imitating the smirk she's seen on Isaac's face one too many times she got up and started walking the path out the woods again.
"That," she said while walking away, "is revenge."
"Revenge for what?!" Isaac shouted at Allison's retreating figure. He waited for her answer but never got one.
Allison waited for Isaac back at the motorcycle and they rode back in a comfortable silence. They arrived back at the school where a big crowd was surrounding the police.
"That's it! That's my bike!" One of the guys Allison recognized from the party last night pointed at her and Isaac and shouted to the police.
Allison's eyes opened wide and her mouth went agape. She stared at Isaac hoping there was some kind of mistake.
"Ethan, calm down." One of the police officers urged. Anger was all over Ethan's face. He glared at Isaac and Allison. If eyes could shoot lasers, these two would be a pile of dust under Ethan's angry eyes. His twin bother looked just as displeased.
Isaac took the keys out the ignition and threw them at the twin brothers, they landed in front of their boots a clank.
"Shouldn't leave your keys just anywhere."
The officers had to restrain Ethan as he ran towards Isaac, fists clenched and ready to fight. Isaac didn't flinch and just stood next to the bike as if he predicted this very thing would happen.
"You stole the bike?!" Allison asked Isaac incredulous. She couldn't believe she just spent the past 30 minutes riding around and in possession of a stolen bike.
"I didn't steal the bike. I stole the keys and borrowed the bike." Isaac winked at Allison and went to go talk to an officer who was asking him over.
Allison just stood there, her eyes wide and mouth slightly open.
"Who the hell was that?!" Lydia asked running up to take Isaac's place next to Allison.
"That is trouble with blonde hair and blue eyes." Allison sighed.
