Red Jacket And A Can Of Soda

Chapter 4

"Did you and Seb have a fight?" Dad asked as he puts pancakes in front of me, "thank you dad," I said as I dig in, "I honestly don't know either, he just suddenly became distant, I tried asking at school but he always avoid me."

"Hmm," dad said just as his phone rings, "quickly finish breakfast, after this phone call we'll leave," he said, I nod my head as he answered the call and went to the backyard.

I quickly finished my breakfast and as I wait I check my phone to see if Sebastian finally answered my text, but still nothing. It's fine though, today is Thursday and he can't miss out on music class. Putting my plate away I went in the garage and start up the car.

"Come on let's go," dad said getting in the passenger seat, "hey dad can I have my own motorcycle?" I asked, "why would you need one? I'm happy dropping you off at school and picking you up," he said, I glance at him before looking back at the road, "I guess."

We soon arrived at school and I give him a hug before heading in. Stopping by my locker I grab a few books before heading to class since I'm already running late, "finally, Miss Henderson," my music teacher, Ms. Smith, said as I came in the room, "sorry for running late," I said.

"Don't do it next time, yadda yadda yadda, go up front," she said, I put my things down and stood in front, glaring at Sebastian who is already seated at the piano.

"The school will have it's musical this winter before Christmas break, auditions will be tomorrow," Ms. Smith said, "but isn't the main role already given to miss red jacket over there?" I overhear someone said, biting my lip I cross my arms as I feel uncomfortable.

The class soon finished and I quickly left the room, "El wait," Sebastian called out, "what your not ignoring me anymore?" I said glaring at him. He stayed quiet and just as I was about to head to my next class, Zach showed up, "hey what time to meet up later?" he asked glancing at Sebastian before looking at me.

"Five, it's a two hour session and dinner is on me, which reminds me I have to tell dad to pick a few things up for dinner," I said, talking to myself in the end as I pull out my phone, "wait I'm pissed right now so leave me alone, I still have class," I said pushing Sebastian away as I head to class.

School ended soon and as I walk back home, Sebastian honks his car at me as he drove up beside me, "El get in please," he said, I ignore him, "I promise I won't ignore you," he said, "ohh how lucky of me," I said giving him a look.

"Please," he said, I get in his car and the ride home was quiet, until he asked, "why didn't you message me when you got home last Monday?"

I feel like something snapped inside me, "you ignored me just because of that?" I yelled looking at him, "seriously your worst than I thought, you could have just asked me if I'm home already," I said looking outside the window cause I can't even bother looking at his face right now.

"I'm sorry okay," he said, "did uncle pick you up before it got dark?" He asked, "no, dad texted me that he can't pick me up and I was about to run after you in the parking lot but Zach came by and asked if I needed a ride. I didn't want to bother you since you need to head into work early so I went with him."

Just as we arrive at my house I saw dad fixing up a motorcycle outside the garage, "dad," I called out as I got out of the car and hug him, "hey there sweetie, was school fun today?" He asked hugging me back, "music class was annoying," I said before looking at the motorcycle, "this one is a beauty," I said.

"You like it?" Dad asked, "if it were red I'd like it even better," I said with a grin, "I have tutor session today, did you buy the things I asked you to buy?" I asked, "yeah I put it on the counter," he said.

"Okay I'll be inside then," I said kissing him on the cheek before looking at Sebastian, "are you gonna stay for dinner?" I asked, "yeah, I don't have work today," he said before greeting dad.

It wasn't long before five o'clock came and Alyssa and Zach arrived at the same time, "hi uncle, nice to see you again," Alyssa greeted dad, "hi Alyssa, it's nice to see you again as well, how have you been?" Dad asked, "great."

Dad then turned to Zach, glancing at the motorcycle parked in front of the house before looking at him again, "Zach right?" Dad asked.

"Yes sir, Zachary Thompson, it's nice to see you again," Zach said as he shakes dad's hand, "yes likewise, who would have thought you went to the same school as my daughter," dad said glancing at me.

"Yeah, small world," Zach said giving me a smile, "come in," I said, "did you guys bring your things?" I asked as we enter the house and accidentally bump into Sebastian.

"Alyssa, Zach," Sebastian said, a nice tone on Alyssa but rough on Zach, I raise an eyebrow as Zach smirks at Sebastian, "Sebastian," he said in a taunting voice.

"Eloise, yey."
