Chapter 11

"Hey" I say walking up beside him.

"Hi" He says smiling at me.

"How was class?" I ask.

"Lame, you?"

"I had to present the project" I answer. Chase stops dead in his tracks.

"Shit" He almost whispers.

"What?" I ask, my eyebrows furrowed.

"I forgot the poster at home!" He says with panic in his eyes.

"Are you serious?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Yes! Fuck, David is gonna kill me." He runs his hand through his hair.

"And there's David now." I say point behind him.

"Shit" Chase says turning around.

"Hi Caitlyn" David says walking up to us. He doesn't give me chance to respond and turns to Chase.

"Dude, we have a problem" He says. "I forgot the cue cards at home" David says with a sorry expression.

"Well shit, I forgot the poster!" Chase says motioning his hands. They both stared at each other speachless. I look at Chase then at David. They both have a look of disbelief on their faces making me burst out laughing.

"Not funny, Caytlin" Chase looks at me.

"ahm, sorry" I said clearing my throat and forcing myself to stop laughing.

"It's a little funny" David says slowly cracking up making me start laugh again which makes Chase join in as well.

"Of course you guys would do this" I say catching my breath once again.

"Yeah, yeah whatever" David says playfully.

"Well we're screwed" Chase says shrugging his shoulders.

"Have fun with the teacher guys, good luck!" I say as the bell rang.

I lean against the wall waiting for Austin in the alley. Usually he would already be here but today he isn't here. I pull out my phone to pass time. I wait for couple more minutes but he still hasn't shown up. I grab my stuff ready to leave when I hear his voice behind me.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asks. I slowly turn around. "You didn't think I would forget did you?" He walks closer to me.

" I would never forget, you should no that" He said with a soft sick voice. He stops directly in front of me as I shake my head no.

"I need your address again." He asks running his hand through his hair. Let me rephrase, he states.

"What? Why?" I ask confused.

"I need you to help me, I'm not giving you an option." He says slightly shrugging his shoulders.

"H-help with what?" I stutter.

"Don't ask question, just do as you're told." He says like it was already something I should know. Hell no.

"No" I say trying to gather up as much courage as I could.

"listen, we could do this the easy way and you can just tell me, or the hard way and I can get it out of you." He says frustration clear in his voice.

"I'm not telling you" I say crossing my arms.

"What was that?" He asks taking a step closer and raising his eyebrows.
