The ride home was silent and oddly peaceful except Walker kept stealing glances my way. My tears had dried up but I was sure I'd have swollen eyes and all that came with bawling your eyes out.
At last we were in front of my house. Taking my bag, I got out of his car hoping everything would end there.
"Lena?" I turned looking down at him in his car
"Can I ride you tomorrow to school?"
" I- I think I like taking the bus" my voice came out low than I expected and I didn't think he heard me.
"Oh- sure, then we'll ride home together okay?" I actually didn't know if it was a question-
"Okay" taking one last glance at his face I turned away going straight to my house.
