Everyone started gathering there things and leaving for the day. Eden was already almost out the door. I started to run after him quickening my pace till I caught up with him. "Hey why'd you leave so quickly?" I asked worried.
He was looking away almost as if he where contemplating on something. "Oh, well, I wanted to see if you would catch up, because you run kind of slow." He said while laughing.
I pushed my shoulder into his. "Well be that way, but anyways I was gonna tell you something earlier but you got out of the classroom so quick, I didn't get to tell you." I stopped sounding sort of, in a way, hurt.
"Oh yeah, and what did you want to tell me?" He asked as if he already knew what I was going to say, like he was reading my mind, Creepy. I all of a sudden forgot what I had wanted to say. My brain just blanked.
"Umm, you're a butt head?" I warily said unaware of what I was gonna say before.
"I haven't heard anyone ever call me that before. Well, thank you I take that into great gratitude." He said while showing his pearly whites.
"Your welcome." We started walking out side to the buses.
Then suddenly I noticed that the buses where gone they weren't anywhere to be found. I must have been talking to Eden for so long that the buses left without my notice. But, Eden didn't seem disturbed by that fact at all.
"Well, I guess I'll see tomorrow then?" He questioned.
"Yeah, can't wait." Then I started walking toward my house, five miles away. About thirty feet later Eden pulled up next too me in a Jeep Wrangler, It was blue and looked like he just bought it. Maybe he likes the color blue? He where's it an awful lot. "What? You miss me that much already?"
He smiled "Maybe. But, you know there aren't any homes around here for at least another 4 miles. So I thought I could give you a ride, if you like?" He asked curiously.
At first I hesitated thinking the obvious, that it would be awkward and weird, but after a moment, the thought subsided. "I wouldn't want to cause any trouble." I said with care. I never did like this kind of stuff it made me feel more or less like a burden.
"There's no trouble." He clearly proclaimed.
Once I climbed in, the first thing I noticed was the faint smell of cologne, it wasn't that strong that it would give me a headache, but more of a delicate manly smell, it was somehow calming. The leather seats still looked polished and new. The console held an Ipod connecter; it seemed that he liked music.
He must have noticed me scanning his car. "Yeah, I just got it; I'm trying to keep it somewhat clean at least for a few months." He said hopeful.
"Oh yeah? So, I'm guessing you like music?" I questioned. I've always had tastes in many kinds of music from rock to alternative to even country. I loved all different kinds, differing to all genres.
"Yeah, you can scan through my Ipod and pick a song if you want." I slowly pulled out his Ipod from the connecter and went to artists. There where over four hundred songs so at least there was a lot to choose from. I scanned through to find an artist that I knew, when I finally got too Anberlin. There was only one song of there's in his Ipod that I chose, it was called A Day Late.
"You like Anberlin?" He gaped. He must not have pinned me for an alternative kind of girl.
"Yeah, I especially like this song." The song was very calming in a way, and really kind of romantic. The girl though, should have been more up front, and just said how she felt. Girls these days are so childish and can't say how they feel, even though I'm being a hypocrite myself, I still say this for everyone.
"Interesting, I guess I could see you listening to this stuff." He said nostalgically.
"Yeah, and I guess I could hear you listening to Enrique Iglesias." I said nonchalantly.
"Well the only reason I like his music is because—," He stopped for a minute, knowing that I had caught him, he said "—well, since you caught me there's no denying it, I like the Ping-Pong Song." Admitting defeat.
I smiled looking out the passenger side window, watching blurs of trees and bushes passing by. The images of green felt somehow calming, then again maybe not. I suddenly felt a little queasy; I turned the opposite direction. When I turned I saw Eden watching me, not really paying attention to the road. He looked like he was thinking; his eyes looked surprised as though he had remembered something of importance, but in a way they looked far off, like he was thinking of the past.
