Can't Hide
Ben: Shh. There are people.
Heather followed his glaze to the guys and they waved. She smiled but her eyes were angry. She clenched her teeth and turned to Ben.
Heather: Could I please have my phone?
Ben: Fine here. Come on.
Heather: Blake! Ned! Won’t you walk to class with us? I need company!
Under her breath she whispered to herself.
Heather: Actually more than you’ll ever know.
Ben heard and pushed her forward as Blake and Ned ran to catch up.
Heather: Hi! My walks to class are so…depressing. We should walk together more often. Ben, could you please?
Ben rolled his eyes and walked ahead of them all, leaving the convo.
Heather: So Blake, are you um free Friday?
Blake: Uh tomorrow. I don’t-
Ned: He is.
Heather: Great, we should hang out. Ned, you can come too.
Ned: Thanks but I have a science project to do.
Heather: Ok maybe another time.
They reached the class and the two guys went in.
Ben: Yea Heather, sure you have someone to walk you to class, but you can’t hide from me everywhere.
