By the gardens , there's a huge tree , some flowerbeds and some really bushy trees.
Carter has about 25 seconds to reach that bush.
Well , may less than 15 if Nathan takes short cut .
And speaking of the devil , Nathan's voice rings out in the distance.
" You are so dead , Nerd ! "
Shit ! He is close ! Carter gulps down the anxiety and makes it a run for his life. Sliding like butter in between new students hovering around the corridor lunging towards the garden.
Most Fresh men stare at him with utter confusion. But he is gone before they can ask.
This escape route isn't exactly ideal . Especially for someone who has never really been into sport . Nathan may really like running on tracks , but Carter would rather just calculate speed of rocket and stars, under his blanket .
" Anything is better than getting caught " he half mutters under his breath .
The huge tree is in his sight. And that means bushy trees are close by , he swerves in excitement to jump ahead –
And that's when he hears it .
Rachel's voice!
He stares wide ayes ahead .
Rachel barely sees him coming. Expression laced with frustration.
With a script in hand she is twirling around, one hand waving wildly in the air and head nodding in disappointment.
" To be ..." She says , loud enough for carter to hear .
" Or not to be..."
Carter yells mid sprint.
" Rachel ? "
She doesn't notice . Instead slams her script into the wall, like a knight losing his final battle.
" Oh god " she rolls her eyes " that sounds fucking terrible! "
Her misry for her line delivery doesn't end when carter nearly crashes into her.
Rachel hadn't actually noticed carter . Well she never notices when she is practicing. As slow as her reflexs are , she wouldn't survive a shakespeare tragedy .
Carter slamming into her was just another thing she didn't see coming.
The huge thud of them hitting the pavement alerted almost every bird on the tree.
Stars swirling around were almost becoming a bit too brighter by second when a pair of hand shook Rachel back to reality.
She blinks and Carter 's face swams into view.
" Damn ! . My stars..."
Carter only shakes her harder , half screaming , half whispering.
" Rachel please help ! Hide me ...you gotta – please – hide me somewhere?! "
Rachel blinks " like what ? What the hell- ?"
"Rachel this ain't the time. I ain't got no time ...! ?"
" You're dead carter !"
Carter's eyes twitches . Rachel looks over her shoulder.
Nathan
" Ah speak of the devil .." she mutters under her breath.
Carter shrinks into himself trying his hardest to hide behind her.
Rachel stands up swiftly. Brushing the dust off. This is her moment .
Before carter can react , Rachel shoves him into the bush .
Nathan freezes mid step towards them , looking genuinely surprised as carter yelps .
Rachel turns swiftly at him . Voice sickeningly sweet .
" Oh ! Hi there! You look exactly same you did yesterday nathan! What's the deal ? Did you become mafia lord over night?" Her voice cheery as fuck .
Nathan raises an eye brow.
" The hell ? Where's that even coming from ? "
" Idk man you look like someone about commit felony for life! "
" Like hell i would do that ! " He screams back .
" Ah not felony..was it .... " Rachel grins " I know why are you chasing him ! "
He blinks in confusion. Eyebrow furrowing now .
" Huh ?"
" Macbeth it is ! " She grins like Sherlock Holmes would.
" You are miserable, poor , lonely soul...in this broken world .... whithout your wife..." Her voice more theatrical than he would like it .
" I don't have a wife ! I am just 17? "
" Good lord !" Rachel clutches her chest like her life deoends on it .
" Not even a girlfriend...is that why you were chasing after carter? " Her voice suddenly turns sharp, fingers poiting at him.
" because you're a fucking idiot who is single and bored out of your ass !? Huh ? "
