The Triangle

Chapter 54 ? Distraction

CLAY:
"He was there??" He raised his voice a little.

Y/N:
"Yeah...I went off on him in front of everyone but...it didn't really do anything..." I mumbled.

CLAY:
"W—wait...George has math with you and he's been there all week...George didn't tell you he was back??" He snapped.

Y/N:
"No...he didn't..." I messed with my fingers in my lap.

CLAY:
"Why not??"

I sighed with a frown.

Y/N:
"I asked him that and he didn't say anything...he's still upset about our argument I think..."

Clay tilted his head while glaring at me by accident.

CLAY:
"That's no excuse to endanger your life. He's such an idiot." He scoffed while shaking his head.

Y/N:
"Clay...what if he comes after me again...?" I asked quietly while looking nervously at him.

Clay grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. Then he squeezed it.

CLAY:
"We can go to the principal tomorrow and tell him what happened."

Y/N:
"He won't believe us." I tilted my head, "He hates us anyways..."

Clay sighed while looking at the radio.

Y/N:
"If we're gonna tell him or the police what happened...we're gonna need proof."

CLAY:
"And how do we get that?" He looked back at me.

Y/N:
"I'm gonna have to trick him somehow..." My eyes fell to my lap.

CLAY:
"How?"

I rolled my eyes as I smiled at Clay.

Y/N:
"I can't think of a grand plan on the spot, silly."

Clay huffed out a smile.

Y/N:
"I'll figure it out tonight and tell you tomorrow."

CLAY:
"Okay...don't worry though, I won't let him hurt you again." He raised his hand to hold my cheek.

I sighed with a blush.

Now there was only one thought replaying over and over in my head.

Y/N:
"I love you, Clay...thank you..." I smiled with slight tears in my eyes.

Clay blushed with a smile as his eyes fell to my lips. Then he met my eyes again.

CLAY:
"I love you too, Y/N..." He rubbed my cheek with his thumb, making me blush more, "Now, let's get you home. I'm sure you have a million homework packets to do for missing a whole week."

Clay let go of my cheek and soon, began taking off again.

Y/N:
"Yeah but eh, I'm lazy." I giggled while stretching my arms in front of me.

Clay wheezed while shaking his head.

CLAY:
"So you can be lazy but I can't?" He smiled at the road.
