"Okay but at one condition"
My eyes glint at the thought of the condition which made him to narrow his eyes.

"Oh that ring.... I forget it at home. I will give it to you tomorrow doll."
Woah... I forget my ring. Thank god. Jace was about to sit on the motorcycle when I again stopped him by pulling his leather jacket.
"What baby doll?"
"The condition!"
I said making inverted commas in air. But it didn't stop me to make a face at his nick name.
"Yes that was the condition right?"
He asked pulling back the motorcycle stand.
"No silly... I am going to drive this motorcycle or else I am not going anywhere"
After revealing my condition I pulled the keys from the motorcycle.
"Hahahahaha funny right...
I am not letting you drive my baby"
"Fine then... This baby doll is going back"
Flipping my hair back on my shoulder I threw the keys at his chest and strut towards the school.
"Miss Violet won't let you in"
"What?"
I couldn't heard him clearly. I was on stairs near the doors when he screamed.
"I said Miss Violet won't let you in and will give you detention"
I stomped my foot and sat on the stairs.
I seriously thought that if I walk away he will stop me and will give into my condition. Brat.
"You know you wanna come with me. So put the ego in your back pocket and move your a*s here"
I can't believe he just talked to me like that.
"You know the condition. And if you think I don't know how to drive a motorcycle than you are highly mistaken"
I retort back and rested my face over my hand.
"Oh common baby doll."
Jace whined and leaned on his motorcycle.
One of Jace friend was walking by when he saw him and make his way to Jace. They started talking and a few times they were glancing at my direction and it was enough to know that topic was me.
Jace was coming towards me when his phone I think started buzzing he pat both his palm on his thighs and pulled the phone out. He was so engrossed in talking that he didn't notice me running to his motorcycle.
Luck was on my side because he didn't took the keys with him. I hastily wear the helmet and started the motorcycle. When the engine roared I heard Jace swore.
After circling around him for 5 to 6 times, I c****d my eyebrow and asked him 'any doubt'. When he didn't respond, I honked at him to get his attention.
"Wanna join Mr?"
Jace came and pulled the motorcycle stand down. He went to pull out the key also but I instantly hugged the motorcycle tightly so he couldn't pull it out.
"Doll you will regret this."
He warned but I didn't let his word get to me.
"No. I am driving thats it. I am not sitting behind you."
I whined and clutched the motorcycle all the way more closely.
"And like hell I am sitting behind you. For the sake of god I wanna see my future kids"
He said and grabbed me by my waist. He was trying to tickle me but I am not ticklish.
"I driving this thing now or I will never sit with you on this motorcycle"
Mischievous with my condition, I straightened my back and act to get off his baby.
"Fine!!!! But this is the first and last time get this into your thick head"
It was now his time to stomp his foot. He grumbled something like brat kid and wore the helmet before climbing behind me on the motorcycle.
"Where do you want to go"
I asked driving out of the school gate to the main highway.
"I just wanted to wander around with you"
He said.
"Like a date?"
I teased but it backfired.
"Yes baby doll"
Saying this he closed the distance between us and hugged me tightly from behind. His face resting on my shoulder.
To scare him I left the handle and let my hand in air. He literally screamed holly mother of sweet jesus and clutched the handle to balance the motorcycle. Finally his hands were off my waist.
"Are you crazy? We could have hit by the passing vehicle"
He said still clutching the handle. I removed his tight hold from it and grabbed it.
"No, I am Skylar and I don't care about the 'could have"
I fired back and drove the motorcycle on an empty lane.
The lane lead us to a dirt road, one side of it surrounded by trees and the other side had a lake. I was so mesmerized by the view that I stopped their and removed the helmet.
"Have you seen this place before?"
I whispered asked him walking towards the lake.
"Ofcourse but Why are you whispering?"
Jace asked walking upto me and stand beside me.
"I don't know? May be I don't want to disturb the insects."
I whispered again not knowing what I was blabbering.
Jace laughed and slapped the back of my head.
"Ow... Why did you do that?"
I rubbed my head and with the other hand pushed him. He definately didn't even budge.
"Let's take a selfie"
He pulled out his phone and clicked my pic when I was rubbing my head. He showed me the pic and god I was looking like a hobo.
"Delete it"
I begged him and tried to get to his phone but he raised his hand in the air above his head.
"Don't worry baby doll, I am not posting it on social media"
Saying that he pulled me towards him asked me to pose.
We clicked lots of picture and some were funny and some were sober enough to post. He pocketed the phone and dragged me back to the motorcycle. We went further down the dirt road. And decided to rest for an hour.
Jace take out 2 granola bars and gave one to me. I accepted it happily. I was hungry and the lunch I had was not enough.
"You didn't tell me about yourself"
I shrugged and shake my head but he nudged me with his elbow.
"I lived in Ohio with mum and dad before moving here."
"What made you to move?"
He questioned. I have ignored this question all the time when somebody asked.
"My grandparents lives here. What else?"
I lied not wanting to re-live those days.
"And your pare...."
"Why are you suddenly hanging out with me? You must have other friends too"
I purposely asked before Jace could complete his sentence.
"Ooo... I just wanted to make you comfortable. And I like your company"
Nodding my head I fished out my phone to check for any messages or call. But there were none. But the notification bar was full with my i********: account.
I tapped on one of the notification and saw I was tagged in a picture. Others were about people following me and new messages on i********:.
Tapping on the tagged picture I saw it was a pic of Jace and me near that lake. An awkward pic specifically.
Without saying a word I opened the i********: in-app camera and clicked his picture of eating granola bar and posted it on i********:.
"Right back to you"
I show him the pic and locked my phone.
"You know no one mess with me?"
He came closer to me which made me lean back on the tree trunk. He didn't stop till I was laying on the trunk.
"So? Do I look like a girl whose gonna stop if you play with her?."
He was looking at my mouth when I said. Like he didn't believe his ears when those words were actually coming out.
"This! This is the reason I wanted to be friends with you."
He kissed my forehead and get off of me. Well I didn't expect it though.
Suddenly everything went eerily silent around us even the breeze stopped. We both looked here and there to know what happened.
Then we heard a creepiest growl which sent shiver down the spine. Shaking us to the core. It wasn't an animal growl but something paranormal.
We grabbed our bags and then Jace almost dragged me to the motorcycle. We were hell scared. He started the engine and drive the motorcycle with a roar.
I didn't dare looking over my shoulder and I was pretty sure Jace either. Jace was driving like a maniac and if I were in his place I would be doing that too.
We released the sigh of relief when we reached back to the main highway. He stopped the motorcycle and got off , him following my action. Standing away at a 2 hand distance, we looked at eachother face and burst into a fit of laughter.
I was never that scared in my life. Never did something like that ever happened. Jace double over clutching his stomach.
"Your face"
He said in between the laugh.
"You should have looked at your face then"
Woah... Now he's gonna make fun of me?
"You should have seen yours too. I wasn't the one driving like a maniac"
I bite back. And placed both my hand on either side of my hips.
The passersby were looking at us. Who wouldn't? We were laughing and shouting like a runaway mentals. The phone in my pocket started buzzing making me jump in surprise. And this gave another reason to Jace to laugh.
"Nana"
I squeak and gesture Jace to keep quiet. Tucking the strand behind my ear I turned to listen to Nana.
"Why are you not home young lady"
She asked in the phone. I checked the time on my watch and verbally said shitt.
"Language"
"Sorry Nana... I will be back in just 20 minutes"
I slapped my forehead for saying s**t. I just wanted her to not get anymore angry because you... No sorry... No body wants to be the recieving end of her anger.
"1 second above 20 and you will be grounded for a month"
She cut the call after saying that. And if you people are thinking, this is it. Than you are wrong. WRONG. She will make you clean dishes and other utensils. And during the sunday all house chore is gonna be in your plate.
"We need to go... Grandma will kill me if I didn't reach home in 20 minutes"
He dropped me at my drive way and left. Luckily I reached on time. No punishment for me today. After dinner I went to my room and took a relaxing shower.
Retrieving books and notes from my bags, I started working on the homework. Precisely an essay. The teacher wants us to improve our writing. Her words.
*Ping*
"Be ready by 7, tomorrow B-)"
The message said. It was from Love. Seriously??? Jace put this name for his number.
Me—
"Who?"
I purposely asked. Lets annoy the hell outta him.
*Ping*
"You guess who!"
Me—
"LoL you think imma gonna guess in the middle of a..."
Take it Jace. You brought up this guessing game. I thought to myself. Smiling wickedly.
*Ping*
"In the middle of WHATT?"
You see this??? This is how you rile up a guy. Hahahaha.
Me—
"I am afraid I can't reveal that"
Here comes the innocence part.
*Ping*
"Are you gonna tell me what you doing or I else..."
I read the message twice. Did he just threatened me? Wait Mr Jace Matthew.
Me—
"Promise me you won't be angry at me?"
I literally rolled on the floor and laughed. I love to provoke people when somebody is being impatient. Like feeding their curiosity.
*Ping*
"No I won't!"
The message reads.
Me —
"But why would I tell you anything when you didn't even told me your name"
I typed and send after 2 minute and checked the time. It was almost my sleeping time.
*Ping*
"Jace...
It's Jace the f*****g Matthew"
Me—
"In the middle of an essay writing ;-) stupid. And grandpa is gonna drop me to the school.
Bye nighty nighty J.
Have Nightmares"
Sending the message, I put my phone on silent and placed it on the bedside table before going to sleep.
