Untouchable
Chapter Six
He
led me back outside in the fresh air, his large
hand wrapped easily around my small wrist on
my right hand. He was kind of dragging me, in such a hurry
to get out of there. With his other hand, he appeared
to be texting, but I couldn't see to who or what about.
I don't think it mattered. He brought me to a small,
shiny, black car.
Right when we were about to get in, a girl called his name from
the entrace of the Cream Bar. "Leaving so soon?"
She asked, with a frown.
"Go f/ck yourself, Taylor." He called and got in
the car, slamming the door. The girl, Taylor, glared at me and
reluctantly headed back into the Cream Bar. I got in
and looked at him. I didn't know him well, but I wanted
to know what the deal was; why he had acted so nervous
around that slutty girl.
Personally, she made me sick. Died black hair, too much make
up, too little clothes, and the way she hung around the bar that
held up the 'Jerry's Cream Bar' sign when she
yelled Kyle's name and strutted inside, everything about
her had 'disgusting' written all over her in
bold, black lettering.
I looked over at Kyle as he drove, focusing so hard on the
road it made my eyes sting. He gripped the wheel so tightly
his knuckles were white. I didn't understand, but
now didn't seem like the time to inquire him.
"Where are we going?" I asked, hoping to
break him out of whatever he was in. It felt
too awkward, not knowing him well.
For a second, he looked at me, with the same expression he'd
been focusing on the road with. It was unpleasant
and made me a bit nervous. But his features softened he
turned back to the road, more relaxed and I calmed down too.
"Katelyn, I'm so sorry about that." He said,
bititng his lower lip as he slowed to a stop at a stop
light. Then he turned to me for another brief moment.
"It's fine." I say, softly.
It was quickly silent again.
"Um.. Kyle.." I say, after a short while.
"Yeah?" He asked, turning into a small restaurant
called 'Mary's Kitchen'. He pulled into a
spot and turned to me again. I swallowed and continued with
what I had to say before it was too late.
"I know this is going to sound weird, and stupid. And
it's not even that big a deal so you may think
it's a little ridiculous but, I feel incredibly guilty. My
name's not really Katelyn." His emotions were
interesting to follow.
At first he looked nervous, and then confused. Finally, he looked
suprised and laughed a little. "Well, what is it then,
mystery girl?" He asked with a wink. I'm glad he
wasn't mad.
"Clarissa. Clarissa Clark. Rissa for short." I say, in
a small voice. Ashamed of myself for lying. But Kyle didn't
care. He laughed some more.
"Well, why'd you say it was Katelyn!?" He asked, as
if it were the most random thing.
"I just absolutely despise my name, and I thought now
would be a good time to change it." I say in a tinier voice.
I shrunk back in my seat a little, humiliated. I couldn't
look at him.
"You're too cute." He laughed and grabbed my left
wrist. Immediately, I looked up and over at
him."Clarissa is such a beautiful name, it fits you so well.
Why are you so upset?" He asked, smiling at me. I
smiled back weakly. Truth is, I didn't want him to hate
me. Especially not now. He's only getting better.
"I don't know." I said weakly, voice cracking.
"Let's get you inside." He said and let go of my
wrist. We got out and walked inside.
Our waitor's name was Howie, evidently a really
good friend of Kyle's. He had brown hair and grey
eyes, but was really perky and goofy, so unlike the people
I'd seen at the Cream Bar.
He sat us at a two person booth that was the
only one set with a white table cloth and had
a glass cup that ready 'Cocoa-Cola' on the side in
faded lettering with yellow flowers from the bushes outside
sticking out. Two spots were set directly across from each other
with china plates and you tensils on folded napkins. Kyle
had a huge smile on his face. Suddenly, I knew who he had been
texting.
I was so excited
to write this chapter, I wrote it at one am. I thought it would
be more to the point, but I'm kind of glad. Did you enjoy
this chapter? Please, let me know! :)
Love you all!
