Fifteen
Raiden's pov
The silence in the car is awkward, especially with the fact that she keeps catching me staring at her from the rear view mirror and Sasha keeks glaring from her to me when our eyes lock.
This was the same car Sasha and I have fucked several times, and this was the same car I had Keira up against as we almost fucked last night.
"I thought I'd have to move to the back while she'd stay Infront.. " Sasha suddenly said and I glared at her, but pretended like I didn't hear what she said, and I don't think Keira heard her because her eyes were fixed on the road as she adored the beauty of nature as we zoomed past them.
She catches me staring again, and this time, I don't look away like the previous times, we actually stare for as long as five seconds before she suddenly removes her eyes and stares back out the window, her cheeks as red as Sasha's bright red lipstick.
"I heard today was your finals… how prepared are you for the exam." I know I sounded like her father right now but I had to start off a conversation to melt the awkwardness threatening to choke me in the car, but the awkwardness only seemed to worsen because Sasha drops her phone to glare at me like the thought of me talking to Keira was an abomination.
"Uh… yeah…" Keira starts stuttering, probably not realizing the death glare Sasha directed right at me like she intended to kill me. "um… we just have Physics… but I'm ready for it… I literally studied all night for this …. "
"Great… how about we talk about how you read all night. Does that even fucking matter? Like does it really" she glared at Keira who zipped her lips before turning to me.
"Why couldn't your dad drop you off at school today anyways… " she continues and I sighed.
"Sasha that's enough!"
"He was sick, so I had to walk to school." Keira's small voice came from where she sat and I almost face palm myself. I was so embarassed by Sasha for the first time in my life, and I really wish she'd stop, but yelling at her or probably making her walk to school with Keira in the car would be the end of my reputation in school.
I just let Sasha continue with her Banter because Keira stopped talking after a while, And once I got close to the school, I had barely managed to find a parking space when Keira opened the door, shut it, muttered a thank you and walked away as quickly as she could.
"She couldn't even say thank you. That ungrateful brat. Does she know how privileged she is to be able to get a ride to school in a sports car… something her dad could never have in a million years… "
"Sasha.. I think that's enough. She just said her father was sick, you had no rights to bring him into this matter. And she did say thank you… you were just too cocky to hear it."
"You always say you're pretending to be nice to her, but now I saw it for myself.. you really weren't pretending… " suddenly she was looking straight at me, And when our eyes locked, I could see her narrowed eyes, staring down at me suspiciously.
"Only this car can be able to really tell me what went on between you two last night… "
"You know what… think whatever you want, but when she eventually fails to show up for the party, you'll have to explain to your friends why she couldn't come, and that's because you're insecure of someone like Keira.."
That seemed to shut her up, because she stopped talking the next second and pretended to find someone interesting amongst the crowd of students going in.
She didn't say goodbye or give me the farewell kiss like she usually does as she grabbed her handbag and left the car, banging the car so hard that I thought my eardrums were going to explode.
By the time I had driven out of the school and a couple of her classmates had made small talks with me, it was already eight.
I had exams by ten, so that leaves me two hours, but I really needed to see Keira right now. Telling her to come out would make it look suspicious because Sasha would obviously tail her.
And she didn't need to see a vision to know something was going on between us when I has to talk to Keira in my car.
The only solution was to talk to Keira inside the school, but what if people saw me…
I called Keira, having no Other choice.
It took some time and a little prayer before she picks up, and again, she doesn't say a word until I say.
"Keira… "
"Yeah… " her voice was small, like a whisper. The background wasn't noisy at all.
"Where are you?"
"Um.. " she sounded embarrassed about something until she replied. "I'm in the bathroom.. "
"Great. Wait for me there… I'll meet you there right now."
"Um… .No.. wait" she starts yelling in protest, but I turn off the phone and get off the car. I put on the hoodie I has from the back of my car and throw it over my head, hoping no one would be a able to recognize me.
By the time I get inside, I could smell Keira's scent all over the school, and with each step I take towards the bathroom, the scent gets stronger and stronger.
Soon, I push the door to the bathroom open and I see Keira standing there, pacing about with a worried look on her face a she bit her lower lip.
She looked horrified when she saw me at first, but I let my hoodie fall and she let out a soft sigh as she held her chest.
"Look, no matter how… " I didn't let her finish before shutting the door and grabbing her hand, and before she could protest any further, I drew her into one of the cubicles before closing the door and locking it.
"Raiden, I have an exam by nine.. " her breath was ragged and her face was flushed as she made to walk past me and open the cubicle, but I grab her and press her back against the cubicle door, trapping her body with mine before shutting my eyes and trying to calm my wolf down.
It was such a mistake staying alone with her again, but fuck it. I only had to control my wolf, and even though it was much harder than I expected, I was willing to take the risk.
"Why are you avoiding me?" I could see the fear in her eyes as she forced herself to look at me, but I knew she was just too embarrassed to be with me right now. I could feel her discomfort, and I knew she was thinking about last night.
"You know why.." she murmured, but she was trying hard not to look at me now And it was understandable why.
"Look, I said I'm sorry… I was drunk and everything, and then we were alone in my car and you wouldn't stop crying and… " my eyes fell on her full, luscious lips again but this time, she looked down, trying hard to hide her entire face from my eyes.
"I'm not going to kiss you again… "
"I just don't want the same mistake happening. The news about us at the coffee shop is all over the campus and I've been stopped several times and asked what's going on with me and you .. " age raised her eyes and I could see the tears in her eyes. "If you're here to convince me to come to the party, then I'm sorry but I can't come. I don't think I can be able to show my face to anyone until after some weeks so I don't intend on coming… "
I tried shushing her, but she just kept crying until the door suddenly opened, and went I raised my head to see who had walked in, my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach and my blood freezes when I see it's Sasha and her friends.
Keira is staring at me and I'm staring at her in horror as well, but suddenly, I wrap my arms around her legs and pull her up towards me, and she gasps slowly as she wraps her legs around me, her Arms holding tightly onto my neck.
"She's not here… just some other girl.. " I hear Mikayla, one of Sasha's friends say, and I breath in relief not realizing I was breathing down Keira's neck. I knew they were probably looking for Keira and they would recognize Keira's cheap sneakers anywhere in school.
