I was met with a slightly mad Chris when I turned up to school. Slightly mad may be an understatement. “Give me the key Ivy!” “But Chris this is my keyyy.” I whined back at him giving him puppy dog eyes. “Give it to me or I won’t give you this key.” He held dangling a key in my face. It took me a while to realise it was my Harley key. “CHRIS! That’s my bike if you even scratched it a little I swear I’ll get you” I shouted at him while making a swipe for the key, but he held it up out of my crippled reach. “Comeeee on Chriseeeyyy, please.” I tried the innocent sister act, sadly it didn’t work. “Nope one for one. You give me my key, I’ll give you yours.” “FINE!” And so, we started the exchange. Both of us extending our hands towards the other, slowly, still holding tight to the key so neither of us could cheat the other by doing a snatch and run. His hand was in my reach and then BAM! I snatched the key and took off, dropping my crutches on the way. I was hobbling surprisingly fast and I was half way down the hallway before Chris caught my waist and then we were wrestling for the key. I knew we were drawing attention to ourselves, but I was not giving him my keys! I saw Ella appear at the edge of the crowd, so I slid Chris’s car key towards her, “TAKE IT AND RUN ELLA!” I shouted. Ella snatched it and took off. Chris scrambled to his feet and took off after her. I could here Ella cackling as she sprinted away and Chris cursing under his breath as he chased her down. I sat up from my undignified position on the ground and then stood up, wincing a little as I did so. I glanced around at the crowd me and Chris had drawn then flicking my hair over my shoulder and holding my head up high I headed back for my crutches, only to find Rylee holding them out to me. “Thanks” I mumbled events from this morning returning to me in flashes making my cheeks flush. I reached out to take the crutches from him while avoiding looking him in the eye. I tried to pull them from his grasp, but he didn’t let go. I looked at him in confusion. That was a mistake. He smirked at me before tugging on the crutches which I was still holding. It pulled me off balance and straight into his rock-hard chest. Immediately, I squirmed in his embrace but to no avail. He held me tight to his chest while continuing to smirk at me. “Rylee let me go.” “Hmm, no.” “Please?” “Hmm, no.” “Rylee we will be late for class!” “I will let you go on one condition.” “Okay, what?” “Kiss me.” I stared at him in shock. He could not be serious. No way was I going to kiss him. Why would he even want me to? He would just use it in the future as blackmail or to embarrass me. Therefore, I only had one choice. Lifting my leg up as high as I could get it, I brought my heel down on the top of his foot. With a yelp he let go of his grip on me and I seized my chance to grab my crutches and take off. Sliding into my seat just before the teacher arrived in class. Ella turned around and passed me my key, “I managed to give Chris the slip by going into the girls changing room and climbing out the window and then doubling back.” Just then Rylee entered the class, he smirked at me before sauntering to his seat. I glared daggers at him all the way. Ella gave me a questioning look and I just shook my head telling her that I would tell her later. As I knew Heather was listening in also, class had started. I really needed to do well this year. I ignored and avoided Rylee for the rest of the day and planned on ignoring him for the rest of the week, I was still angry that he had got to me and made me feel so uncomfortable. Finally, the end of the school day arrived but I couldn’t go home yet, I still had an hour or so of detention to fulfil. I was sitting reasonably peacefully in class doodling love hearts in my note book waiting for the supervising teacher to arrive when I was rudely disturbed by a desk being dragged into my desk. I looked up to glare at the criminal, but my anger turned into shock then displeasure as I watched Rylee settle himself into the desk. “What are you doing here?” I hissed at him. “Well you were avoiding me all day so I just had to get detention so that I could spend more time with you.” “Wow, I feel so honoured.” I spat sarcastically. He just chuckled. Just then the teacher walked in and saved me from listening to anymore of his smart comments. It was one long hour to say the least. I ignored all the notes he passed on my desk and I avoided his hand which kept wandering to rest on my knee under the table. I also managed to move my desk to the right slightly so that his knee could not brush against mine anymore. When the teacher dismissed us, I was up and out of there before anyone else had the chance to move. I was just revving my engine into life when Rylee stepped out the school doors. He waved at me and I ignored him zooming off home.
