• Chapter 3: Who’s Lamborghini?

    I heard my parent’s wake the next morning, knowing that is was around 5:30, so I had to wake up in an hour. I went back to sleep after I wished my parents a nice day at word and got my uniform ready so I did not have to in an hour.

    I did not feel the hour pass, and kept on dreaming. I finally woke up and looked at my clock. It was almost 7:20! I was going to be really late for school, so I jumped in the shower for like five minutes and put my hair up in a low pony tail with two strands of hair hanging down in the front of my face along with my bangs. I put some eyeliner, mascara, and powder on and I got dressed. My hair and make up looked fine but my blue plaid skirt kept dong this weird think and if I took a step it would turn an inch toward the right, so I got my other blue purple and back skirt. (I actually liked the school uniform colors, but that is beside the point) I put on the black uniform top which had the schools crest on it, it was a huge gold lion under the moon and stars, and I put on the dark blue, the same color matching the skirt’s blue, overcoat that also had the school crest on it too. I hurried up and put on black knee highs and my white boots. I grabbed my bag and ran out the door. “I forgot to eat,” I thought to my self so I went in and got a granola bar. I was going to eat it walking to school, but I saw a car, the car was a black Lamborghini with tinted windows so I could not see who was inside, but I knew someone was inside because the car was running.

    Whatever it was not my business. I started walking, but the car followed me at the same pace I was walking. Maybe I should go home, and not go to school today. No that was a worse idea because the person could hurt me there and at school I would have a lot of people around me so the perpetrator would not try to harm me there. I stopped to go over to Mrs. Valentine’s house give her the papers that she left outside. But as I turned on the side walk the car stopped. Okay, this is annoying more than scary now, I am going to ask the person to stop. I walked up to the car window and knocked on it signaling to roll the window down.

    As the window rolled down I started to speak, “Okay, I know you have problems for following girls around, but would you please sto-’’ I saw who was in the car, Hikaru, “What the hell, why are you following me?” I asked.

    “Do you want a ride to school?” He asked.

    “You did not answer my question. How do you have a car anyway? Aren’t you like 15?” I was pretty curious now.

    “I’ll tell you as soon as you get in the car,” he said and grimaced at me.

    “No thanks,” I said and started to walk to school again.

    “Come on, Akari. You will be late anyway if you walk,” He said.

    “How about this, If I am late I wont go to school and I get to do three favors for you. One for helping me yesterday. Another for leaving when I asked you to. The third as a bet that I won’t be late to school if I walk and you say I will, but if you lose you owe me one favor, alright? Just to warn you I am a fast runner. I do a mile in 4:27 and that’s when I am not trying,” I said boasting about it.

    “It’s a deal, but you better start running. School starts in 3 minutes and 49 seconds, 48, 47, 46, 45,” he said. He was right, I need to start running. I am wearing boots though; they have a heel in them. I hurried and took them off and put them in my bag and started running.

    I ran as fast as I could and Hikaru passed me, twice. He was such a jerk in his stupid sports car. How the hell does he have that anyway? Whatever I just kept on running and soon enough I got to the school. I laughed in amazement that I got here so fast. I walked over to Hikaru’s car and he started laughing at me.

    “What? Do I look weird or something?” I asked making sure I didn’t.

    “No, the bell already rang. You lose and you owe me three favors,” he laughed at me even more.

    “Okay, I’m going home now, bye Hikaru,” I said as I put my white boots back on.

    “Wait, didn’t you say I had three favors?”

    “Uh, huh,” I nodded and stopped walking.

    “Okay, I want to use one now. Come with me, I want to go somewhere. You don’t have anything to do anyway, so it’s all you can do,” He said.

    “Um, I don’t really want to be caught by the district truancy officers, so that’s a no,” I also id not want to be near him.

    “You won’t be caught and no one will notice that we are students if we are driving. The windows are tinted really dark. Come on Akari,” he begged. I was kind of wondering where he was going to go and it made me curious so I said “fine, after this you have two favors left,” I got in the car and closed the door and I waited for him to get in the car, “but you have to now tell me how you have this car, why you were following me earlier, and where we are going,” I declared.

    “The last one is impossible, it’s a secret,” he started the car, “but I can tell you the other two. You ask when you want to know,” he said.

    “Okay, later, um, sorry, but can you take me to my house for a second. I don’t want to look like a ditching high schooler, and I didn’t really get to eat breakfast. Plus, after running sort of screwed up my hair, and stuff,” I said.

    “Sure but you have to promise you will be back out quickly, no trying to ditch me and locking all your doors,”

    “Yeah, that’s a pretty good idea but I don’t think my curiosity could stand that,” I said.

    “I will take you to your house then.”

    “Thanks.”
