Chapter 5

I was on my way out of school, when I heard a guitar playing followed by a voice.

"...Pack up all my things and get my a*s out of town. We got it good weather we like this town or not. I know it's small, but with a big head it's bound to get hot in summer but the summer is a bummer when you can't leave, this pathetic excuse of a town. That holds all your memories. A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams. To be anywhere but here. But baby any wife is a wife for me."

I walked around the corner in the direction where the voice was coming from. The song was familiar. It sounded like the lyrics from Big City Dreams by Never Shout Never. My eyes wondered over Oliver, strumming a guitar and singing. This small town boy has talent.

He opened his eyes and looked at me, still playing his guitar.

I opened my mouth to speak, but then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back to see Jordan. He was looking at Oliver in disgust. "Come on Cece."

Oliver gave me a disappointing smile and continued playing.

I followed Jordan as Oliver's song started to fade further and further away into the distance.

"You don't like Oliver?" I more stated than asked.

He just shook his head.

"What's wrong with him?"

Jordan took a deep breath. "Oliver...Oliver let a lot of people down."

"How so?"

Jordan shook his head, "It's in the past. Listen to me, he is bad news stay away from him."

Jordan stared into mine and suddenly I saw Oliver's eyes only a different colour.

"What's your last name Jordan?"

"What's yours?"

"Bloom."

"Carter."

I nodded.

He casually took hold of my hand.

"So what exactly is good about this lake?"

"Lake Gloria. Well not a lot of people go there except for the school kids. Parties are often held there too. Mostly it is just a real nice looking scenery, but also a good place to hang out. It has trees for shade on sunny days and it has a wide meadow for parties.

"You will get used to it."

He said it like I would be around often and I liked that thought.

Love your short chapters and the simplicity of every part you've produced... (argh that sounds so sexual )
But anyway, I'm really liking what I'm reading and I love your work.
Pure talent!!

Ah, the mystery grows. Why don't they like each other. A lot for her to learn about her new class mates methinks.
Just one query. Jordan took a deep breath. "Jordan...Jordan let a lot of people down."
Shouldn't that be Oliver let a lot of people down, seeing as it was Jordan speaking?
Reading well so far, nice short chapters just flow from one part to the next effortlessly. Great so far.
