Chapter Eight
806 Words
"I need to get out of here!" I complained, banging on the doors of the cellar.
"It's not gonna work princess, they won't come back for us." Jason said from the bottom of the stairs, making a scowl form on my face.
"Can you like, not?" I asked, turning to face him.
"What?" He asked innocently, smirking at me.
"You don't know how bad I wanna choke you right now." I said through clenched teeth, punching the cellar door really hard and something clicked.
My eyes brows furrowed and I looked down at Jason who looked just as confused as I was.
I turned back to the door and pushed it, watching it open. My eyes widened and I shoved it as hard as possible, opening it completely.
"We're free." I said, a grin slowly starting to form on my face.
I got out of the cellar and heard Jason come out from behind me, saying something I couldn't quite understand.
"We're free!" I yelled, running around and enjoying the fresh air.
We might've only been down there two nights but that took a giant toll on me, I felt like I was going insane.
"Oh my god, I can't even describe how happy I am to finally be free!" I laughed, falling on the comfy grass and staring up at the blue sky.
"Yeah." A male voice said from behind me and I sat up, looking over at Jason with a smile.
"We're free..." I trailed off.
"I see that."
"Now we go our separate ways, I only needed you to survive down there after all." I chuckled slightly, watching him force a smile.
What he doesn't know is that I can see right through that smile. I know that type of smile, it's the smile I use when I'm unhappy.
Instead of pointing that out, I pretended not to notice.
"Bon voyage me old cream cracker!" I jumped up, saluting him.
He shook his head at me with a slight chuckle before he saluted back.
I grinned, putting my hand up for a high five which he gave me.
I turned to walk away but his voice stopped me.
"Do you still hate me?"
I turned back around to face him, noticing his face has a look I couldn't quite read. I frowned at his question and we locked eye contact, standing in silence.
"I'm sorry... I just want to know. You seem like you're my friend one second but you also seem like you still hate me the next second, you're just confusing me..."
"Acquaintances." I confirmed, my face holding no emotion.
"I'll take what I can get." He stated, giving me a slight nod.
I turned away from him and began to walk away, hearing his voice speak up once again.
"See you at school..."
I clenched my eyes shut at that sentence and kept walking, ignoring the little jolt of pain I felt in my chest.
He won't see me again, he's only saying that. I'm not that stupid, he's the golden boy of the school! Loved by everyone, really hot, and a total badass. He wouldn't wanna he seen with me, a regular boring girl.
I'd ruin his reputation if anyone seen him with me.
Shaking my head, I continued to walk home in silence.
******
I finally arrived home, feeling the need to take a shower and go to sleep for school. I bet my mom is probably worried sick, I can't believe Skylar would do that to me.
I opened my front door and went in, shutting it behind me and going up to my room. Surprisingly I didn't see my mother around here but I shrugged it off, walking into my room.
When I walked in everything was exactly how I left it except for a note sitting next to my phone.
I walked over to it and picked it up;
"I'm so sorry Tori, I hope you're not mad at me for locking you in the cellar with Jason. I wanted you two to get together but then I realized what a bitchy move that was, so I unlocked the door. See you at school tomorrow!
Xoxo,
Skylar."
I rolled my eyes, crumbling up the paper and throwing it away. I walked over to my dresser and grabbed sone clothes then I went in the bathroom to take a shower.
After the shower I dried off and got dressed then I got in bed and checked my phone.
No notifications.
I sighed and looked at the time, knowing I never get notifications unless it's Skylar or my mom.
It's already 7?!
God, time flys by so fast! It felt like I just woke up.
I chuckled to myself and turned my phone off, putting it on my nightstand and forcing myself to go to sleep early.
