A few more seconds...

I hadn't taken my eyes off the clock the last half hour of my last class. I was dying to be done with my first day and be in the comfort of my own home. The bell rang and the chatter began. Putting my things away I lifted my bag and made my way towards the exit.

All in all today was somewhat okay. It could only get better right?

I was stood on the steps watching everyone else leave. I had no idea how I was going to get home. Chewing on my bottom lip a groan fell from my mouth as the idea of walking home sprung to mind. Taking a seat I watched as the school grounds emptied until there was only a few people left hanging around.

Taking out my phone I held my finger over her number. I hadn't seen her since lunch and I wasn't sure if she was still around. Hitting dial I held the phone to my ear.

"Alanna are you still at school, can you give me a lift home?". The line was quiet. "Alanna?".

"Leah".

"Jake?". Why was he answering Alanna's phone?

"I'll pick you up I'll be there in 10".

"No it's okay, I'll find a way".

"You needing a lift shorty?". Why was Ryan still here?

"Who's that?". I could here the distaste in Jake's voice.

"Jake I have to go. Bye". Hanging up the phone I slid it back into my jacket pocket. It was vibrating like crazy. "Why are you still here?". I asked.
