Chapter 16

Once Nova leaves I still can’t get the picture of her and Hudson out of my mind. I have to get out of here. Go for a run or something. I throw on my black running shorts and a gray tank top. Why was I not enough for Hudson? I run down stairs and slip into my running shoes. My dad is home and Penelope is still here. I can hear her school girl giggles coming from the kitchen.

“Dad I’m going for a run I don’t know when I’ll be back. Don’t wait for me to eat.” I shout into the kitchen, not even daring myself to go in there. I feel better as soon as my feet hit the paved sidewalk.

I run I don’t have any plans on where I am running I just run. Dad won’t miss me even if I don’t come home; and with Penelope not acting like she is leaving anytime soon I am in no hurry to get back. The wind blows against me keeping my ponytail out of my face. I am soon lost in my run, the adrenaline calms me down. I find myself heading towards Declan’s. I wonder what he is getting into today.

When I am about a block away I begin to slow down. I don’t want to be out of breath when I reach his house. I am beginning to feel he is my only friend. Nova acts like she is my friend, but it doesn’t feel like it right now.

I can see Declan outside washing his truck before I get near the house. He has his back turned towards me. As I get closer I can hear rap music playing, not that stuff Hudson listens to this is talking about God. Isaac sees me and smiles as I get near. I hold my finger up to my mouth signaling to him to not let Declan know I am behind him. I tip-toe closer, not that he would be able to hear me or anything over the loud music. He is rapping along with the music as he sponges suds onto his truck. If Declan looks at Isaac though he is going to give me away, because he is smirking and looking at me.

When I approach Declan I reach my hands out and grab is sides while yelling “Boo!” He jumps the sponges goes soaring through the air, above my head, landing a few feet away. . Isaac and I are in stitches my eyes water I am laughing so hard.

“Ha ha, very funny.” Declan says sarcastically as he retrieves the sponge. I am still laughing when he walks over to me. “That’s okay, I forgive you.” He says as his arms reach around me like he is going to hug me then at the last second he reaches above my head and squeezes the contents of the sponge out. The cold soapy water runs down my forehead.

“What was that for?” I ask as I shake the water off me.
