Chapter 8
Closing her locker Kyla slowly made her way to 3ed period English she had stayed up late the night before in order to pick up her dad from the airport. His plan had been delayed leaving Kyla alone at the airport for 2 hours, until he finally got off around 3 in the morning.
"hi." Mr davids said quietly to the group of kids entering into the class room Kyla nodded in response. Taking her seat near the back of the classroom Kyla popped her headphones into her ears before opening her novel and began to read taking little notes on her page knowing that there will be a quiz on the assigned chapters later.
The class flew by slowly as Kyla nodded off a few times for the bell ran signaling for the 10 minute break before she had to drag herself to her last class of the day. Stuffing her stuff into her bag Kyla sleepily made her way to her locker messing up the combo 2 times before finally getting it. Grabbing her human science text book from her locker Kyla turned around slamming her lockers when she ran into something hard falling to the floor her books and papers spreading everywhere.
"oh god I am so sorry I wasn't watching, are you ok?" a boy with creamy brown hair and ocean blue eyes said crouched next to Kyla reaching his hand out to assist her.
"It's ok I should have looked before crossing the hall." Kyla said mentally slapping herself for her bad joke while the boy chuckled at her.
"I'm Liam." the boys said reaching out to help Kyla up to her feet. Dusting off her butt kyla turned to look at Liam.
"Kyla. Thanks" Said stated before taking her books from Liam who had gathered them for her.
"No problem." Liam smiled giving Kyla a bright smile, which she softly returned stifling another yawn.
"Where you headed?" Liam asked keeping with Kyla's slow pace as she walked in the directing of her science class already late.
"uhh." Kyla said letting out a sigh. "mr dills science class." Kyla said hugging her books to her chest.
"Your already late might as well skip now plus you look like you're going to fall over any second now." Liam said stepping in front of Kyla so she would stop lightly touching her arm.
Kyla gasped as a tingly feeling went up her arm her eyes shot up to meet Liam who was looking at her intently.
"Yea ok." Kyla said dazed following Liam down the stairs and out the front door of their school.
"Where are we going?" Kyla asked Liam as they made their way to the field at the back of the school, Kyla watched as Liam sat down then looked up at her.
"It's ok I don't bite." Liam chuckled patting the grass beside him.
With a slight smile and a shake of her head Kyla took a seat in the grass feeling the warm may sun.
"mmm" Kyla muttered out leaning back on her arms letting the sun warm her face, as Liam smiled sweetly down at her his eyes doing a once over of Kyla's body.
"Much better then science class huh." Liam said in a low voice they were the only ones out on the field that he could see.
After laying in the grass for 10 minutes little to nothing said in the comfortable silence that surrounds the too there was a sound of shoes against the ground causing Liam and Kyla to shoot up into sitting positions. Liam spotted the school's principal marching towards them.
"Hey what are you kids doing out here." He shouted.
"Run." Liam said grabbing Kyla's hand and running in the opposite directing making it around the school and into the sprinkler control room slamming the door shut.
Kyla's break was coming out fast as her chest raised up and down at an unsteady pace; Liam chuckles quietly also trying to catch his breath as they listened to the muffled sound of shoes running by the outside of the door.
"That was close." Liam said after getting his breath back to normal, his eyes traveled down to Kyla's as they finally realized the lack of space between them.
Kyla looked away clearing her throat awkwardly tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear keeping her yes on the floor in the lightly lit room.
"We should probable go." Kyla muttered slowly opening the door and doing a quick check before stepping out into the open, followed shortly by Liam.
"So can I give you a ride home?" Liam asked Kyla as they walked back down to the main entrance of the school.
"uhh." Kyla said looking around her thoughts were still pretty jumbled.
"Common it's the least I could do." Liam said giving Kyla a winning smile, after a sigh and an eye roll Kyla agreed following Liam to his black car climbing into the passenger seat.
"So where too?" Liam asked starting up the car.
"99th street" kyla said looking out the window as she pulled out her phone telling Jacob since he wouldn't be picking her up from school anymore.
To jake: hey I got a ride home from a friend so I'll just come over later.
A few seconds she got a reply.
To Kyla: ok I guess I'll see you later then.
Kyla send jake a smile face blowing kisses before discarding her phone into her sweater pocket resting her head on the head rest.
20 minutes later Liam pulled up in front of Kyla's house turning the car off her looked over at her not saying anything.
"ahah what are you looking at?" Kyla said blushing a little bit.
"Nothing." Liam muttered placing his hands back on the wheel looking away from Kyla's gaze.
"Ok thanks for the ride." Kyla said giving Liam a smile before she made her way to her house watching Liam pull out of the driveway before heading inside.
