hauntingly beautiful
Chapter 10
"Are you seriously still upset about that
stupid picture?" Ashley asked me later that day.
I avoided eye contact with the snobby socialite, as I continued
to read the novel in my hand.
"Just take another picture of him, it's no big
deal." she rolled her eyes.
I continued to ignore her, as I clenched my grip around my book
tightly.
I was biting down on my tongue, trying to avoid tears from
spilling out.
If only she knew...
"You really aren't going to say anything?
You're such a drama queen." Ashley snickered.
She flipped her brown extensions over her shoulder.
She walked by my desk, knocking my book away fom my hands.
She gave me a cold smirk, as the book fell on the floor.
I let out a devasted sigh, as I bent over to retireve my
book.
"Here." Hunter said, holding me the book before I got
to touch it.
A ball bobbled up and down my throat, as I hesitantly took the
book from his hands.
"Thanks." I muttered under my breath.
I wondered if Hunter knew about the incident from this
morning.
I dropped my shoulders, sinking back in my seat.
Hunter probably heard everyone talking about it.
He probably thought I was pathetic, being so protective over a
photo.
I clenched my fists, shutting my eyes tightly.
It was the only picture I had of Cameron.
Hunter pulled up a chair to my desk, as he leaned over it.
I could feel people staring at the two of us.
I shifted uncomfortablly in my seat, trying my best to avoid his
stare.
"So, do you want to go somewhere after school with me?"
he asked.
I raised my eyebrows.
He was so straight forward.
"I-I mean as friends." he quickly added.
My heart dropped to my gut, as I licked my lips nervously.
Of course, just as friends.
No one would ever like me more than that.
"But, didn't you hear what-"
"I don't care what happened earlier today. That
doesn't change my prospective of you." he smiled
shyly.
I bit back a smile, sucking in deep breath of air.
"Then, in that case, sure." I nodded.
The bell rang, signalling for the last period, as we both stood
up.
"Great, I'll wait for you by my car." he paused.
"Try not to be late this time." he joked.
~*~*~
"Where are you taking me?" I asked.
I stared out the window, unfamiliar with my surroundings.
We had to be in a different town, at least.
"Just wait and you'll see." Hunter assured.
We continued to drive in silence for what seemed like an
hour.
I wasn't brave enough to speak, and Hunter looked like he had
something on his mind.
We finally pulled up to a deserted area, with dusty grounds.
"Are you okay with walking a little bit?" Hunter
asked.
I nodded, as I followed his way up towards a cliff.
The cliff wasn't too steep, but it did take a while for us to
reach the top.
As we got on the top, the sun was just setting.
My knees became wobbly, due to the fact that I was never used to
heights.
But, I had to admit that the view was gorgeous.
Below us was what looked like a mass variety of trees, and above
was a clear view of the sunset.
"I like to come here, to escape society." Hunter
whispered.
We sat on the groud, both mesmerized by the beauty.
"Hayden, there's something I need to ask you about what
happened earlier today..." he started.
