Chereads / Stop the clock / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Lavender is awoken by the sweet smell of biscuits fresh from the oven.

She gets out of bed and rushes to the kitchen.

There she sees her mother making biscuits.

She was about to take one when her mother hit her hand.

"Go get ready for school first you pig."

With a smile Lavender goes to the bathroom and takes a shower.

As she's showering she starts thinking about Kyle.

She wondered why he looked at her like he wanted her to stay.

She gets out of the shower and changes into her clothes before doing her hair.

Her mother smiles at her as she approaches the kitchen.

"I can't believe I'm seeing you wake up early."

Her mother said jokingly as she wiped a fake tear from her eye.

"Mom stooop" Lavender said, playful hitting her shoulder.

After a while of joking around Lavender finally has breakfast.

She takes four cookies before going out to catch the bus.

At the bus stop she found herself standing there alone.

She had gotten there before the bus had arrived. It was exciting for her.

After a minutes wait the bus arrives. She quickly gets on and seats herself next to Harper.

She tells Harper what happened at the infirmary.

Harper looks at her wide eyed. She asked her if that's what really happened.

Lavender agrees while fiddling with her fingers.

Harper starts squealing. The two of them start talking about it through out the ride.

When they get to school they hurry to their secret hide out.

Silence fills the air as they as they sit there pondering.

"So..." Lavender says hoping that Harper would think of something.

"You should act like nothing happened." Harper says breaking the silence.

"How can I do that when not only did I sleep while holding his hand but he looked like he wanted me to stay and I just ran?!"

They were frantic at this point. Lavender couldn't bring herself to go to class knowing full well that he was there.

Harper said, getting up "Well avoiding him makes it more awkward."

Lavender decides to go to class not wanting to get in trouble with the teacher.

As she gets into class all eyes are on her. She knew this would happen since she not only dared to get near but also touched him.

If she didn't take him to the infirmary he would have stayed on the floor until a teacher eventually came and took him.

Which would have taken a while so she had to do.

Although she was regretting it now that she was being stared at by everyone and she embarrassed herself in front of him.

The school day went as usual with no disruptions.

It was only Lavender who was feeling uncomfortable with everyone whispering about her in the hallways.

She was just greatful that Kyle didn't attend school that day.

Once the school day ended she rushed to the comfort of her home.

She quickly went to her room and stayed there for the entire day.
