Chapter 4

What's next?
I reluctantly head home
Mr Hollinhoe ends the kiss leaving me breathless and stunned as he opens the door and heads inside. The door shuts behind him and I stand there aimlessly for a few minutes hoping he'll come back.
When he doesn't, I turn and walk down the driveway and am instantly reminded of how I'm dressed. I tug my skirt down self-consciously as I wobble along and only succeed in exposing the red straps of my thong.
At the end of the driveway I look both ways before turning left down the street and I have to walk to the end of the road before I can work out where I am. It turns out that I'm on the otherside of town and there are a couple of possible routes home.
I only pass one old man on the pavement who, much to my horror, gawks at me as I wobble past him and I'm convinced everyone in the cars driving by are staring at me, especially when one beeps its horn as it passes, making me stumble awkwardly.
I am halfway down the next street when I can turn left and follow a footpath over the heathland and through the woods home or I can carry straight on and head through the town centre.
Walking through town is the quicker, more direct route, but will be full of people this time of day and possibly even kids from school, who I definitely do not want to run into.
Going over the heath and through the woods will definitely take longer as it circles around the back of the town, but there are going to be less people and although there's only a single main path there are plenty of places to hide if need be.
Do you head into the town centre or take the footpath over the neathland and through the woods?
