The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0467

Every time I think that maybe Clint is being genuine, he proves me wrong. Why in the world did I agree to go out with him on Sunday. What a terrible idea. I need to figure out a way to cancel.

I get ready for school and walk outside to meet Calista. “Morning Cali.”

“Ok, don’t hate me.” That’s her opening statement. Not a good way to start the day.

“What did you do?”

She gives me her ‘I’m sorry‘ face. “I sort of agreed to let Anders drive us to school.”

“You WHAT??! Why would you do that?”

“I didn’t have a choice. He literally showed up at my door last night. I thought my parents were going to fall over themselves when they saw it was him. Then when he asked if he could take me to school today, my parents told him yes!”

.

I throw my hands up in the air. “That must be why Clint said something about giving us a ride to school today. Ugh, Cali! I do NOT want to ride to school with them. Clint was already finding a quickie right after training this morning and if we show up together, people will assume that I was his next conquest.‘

I think for a minute. “Let’s walk fast. Maybe if he’s running late, we’ll already be at school before he catches up.”

“I can’t.” She turns and points to her front windows. “My parents are watching.” Sure enough, I could see her parents trying to look out the window through the blinds, but it was obvious they were there.

“Please don’t make me drive to school with them by myself.” She pleads with me. How can I say no to my best friend.

“You owe me!”

“You’re the best!” She says as we hear a car coming up behind us.

Before I can even turn, Clint and Anders are out of the car, opening doors for us.

“Calista, you can sit up front with me. Clint can sit in the back with Lily.”

I grit my teeth and move to the door that Clint is holding open for me. As I move to push past him, he puts his hand in front of me, stopping me. “It wasn’t what you think it was.”
