I looked over and saw Lynn holding on to me tight and so close. Her body was shaking.
“Are you cold?”
She looked up at me. The dim glow of the movie on screen made her look like a fallen angel, a very beautiful (and hot) fallen angel.
“No…b-but I’m a little scared…” I felt my cheeks flush. I wrapped my arms around her and she hugged me by the waist now. I looked over and saw Kaleb smirk and make and ‘air-heart’ motion. I glared at him.
The movie was over and it was about 10:45. I don’t have much time to get home. Kaleb gave me a nuggie and I punched him in his gut.
“Ouch! What the hell?” “Don’t play dumb, I know what you were thinking when Lynn was hugging me.”
I glanced over at my beautiful fallen angel as she was talking with Lenna, Violet and Hailey. She looked over and waved. I sheepishly waved back. Once I looked back all of the guys were giving me that look.
“..What?!”
“Dude…” Danny started.
“We know that you really like Lynn.” Andy finished for him.
“So just ask her already!” Kaleb said as he jumped on top of Danny. Danny sighed and dropped Kaleb.
“Shhhh!”
I hissed.
“Not so loud!”
“The cat’s out of the bag Arron.” Vlad said as he smirked. “I bet she knows by now, with you hugging her and everything in the theater.”
I felt my face flush. The guy’s snickered. I glowered at them.
“Uh oh.” Danny said.
“RUN FOR IT!” Andy yelled.
They started to disperse and ran to their dates. I sighed as I saw them run behind them, but since Danny didn’t have a date he just hid behind Lenna along with Vlad. (Danny likes my cousin too)
“Wow, you guys are pathetic…hiding from me?”
“We are not…” Andy protested as he was looking at Hailey and blushed.
“We just know that you can kick our asses…” Danny finished and was trying not to look at my cousin and blush at the same time. (It wasn’t working…) Vlad pushed him away from Lenna. She rolled her eyes.
“C’mon guys…let’s just call it a night.”
“I’ll walk you home.”
Vlad said as he smiled at her. She blushed and slowly nodded her head. Danny looked defeated. (Poor big doofice…just kidding, I really did and still do feel sorry for him…) He mumbled to Andy that he would see him at home. Andy nodded his head and walked Hailey home. Kaleb, Violet, Lynn and I walked in the same direction.
“It was a pretty tame slasher movie…”
Violet’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“YOU CALL THAT MOVIE TAME?!”
Kaleb laughed and tilted her chin up to face him.
“Oh, right. I forgot that you were clinging to me for dear life.”
Kaleb smirked as he saw Violet’s face flush and she pushed him away lightly. I smiled and held onto Lynn’s hand again. She didn’t seem to mind. We stopped at Violet’s house and Kaleb walked her to her door. I heard them whisper their goodnights and I knew what was going to happen next and looked away so they could get some privacy. Kaleb came walking back dazed and all gaga over his new girlfriend.
“Earth to Romeo. Your ship has landed on reality, come in Romeo.”
I said as I waved my hand in his face. He snapped out of it and pushed my hand away.
“I am not Romeo.”
“Sure you are. You had it written all over your face...” I saw some of Vi’s lip gloss on his cheeks. I smeared some off on my finger and showed him. “And apparently you still do.”
Kaleb blushed and looked the other direction.
“Well, I gotta go home…mom’s gonna have a cow again…”
“Okay dude, see you later.”
Kaleb didn’t say another word as he ran into his house and closed the door. I smirked and continued to walk with Lynn. We looked away from each other. I wanted to just caress her face and kiss her, tell her how much she really meant to world to me. Even if we didn’t know each other for too long. But I kept telling myself not yet…not yet… She looked up and smiled. I stopped and looked where she was smiling at. She was smiling up at an old Japanese styled house that had paper doors and paper lanterns and the whole enchilada. And it wasn’t like those really small houses, it was big, and I mean really big.
“Well, this is my stop. I’ll see you at school tomorrow, okay Arron?”
“Y-Yeah…goodnight.”
She smiled one last time and started to skip to the stone pathway, but I involuntarily reached out and said;
“W-Wait!” She turned around and was still smiling.
“Yes Arron?”
I felt my ears start to burn. God, why am I such a dunce?
“U-Uh, c-can I have your number?”
Why the hell did I ask that? She smiled.
“Sure. As long as you give me yours.”
“O-Okay…”
So we traded phones. Hers was black and red flip phone. I typed in my name and cell number. She did the same. Then we traded them back. I smiled and before I knew it, she was already up the pathway and quietly closed the door.
“…Did I just score her number?” I asked particularly nothing. I smiled and started to walk home. I started to whistle Richman my 3oh!3. I was really happy. For once. Once I wasn’t sad or angry, or a jerk. I was just happy. That usually was when I was with—
I heard a rustle in the bushes along the road. I froze. s**t. They were following me again? Whoever the hell it was. I focused and pushed my mind to theirs.
He got away from me last time. But now I have him. Your little friends won’t help you now, boy. Or should I say; Half. Time to say goodbye. For good this time!
I started to run in a long stride. I had to get home, I just had to. I was not going to be someone’s new target. I kept running. Faster, faster, faster. Gotta keep moving. Move Arron MOVE! Don’t even stop! I looked up ahead farther and saw my house. And the lights were still on. Relieved, I ran into my house and locked all the doors and windows again from downstairs. Then I breathed a sigh of relief. I took off my shoes and put them in the shoe slot again. I saw that Zoey was still here. I started to walk upstairs, until I heard some noises… Disgusted and scarred for the rest of my life now, I ran back downstairs and plopped on the couch and decided to watch a little T.V, and I turned up the volume a little bit louder so I couldn’t hear anything. The news was on, and I was about to change the channel until I heard;
“Their was a murder in the lower township of Forks, Washington. The body of a young college student was found in a muddy ditch with a few cuts up his arms and a wooden steak with a metal tip pierced through his chest. The boy is identified to be a college student named Randy Grayson. We have more live in front of the student’s house with Sue Brooks. Sue?”
The screen turned to my best friends Andy and Danny’s house. It was raining. The new report woman was standing in front of the porch where the old time wooden swing lay gently rocking back and forth while the wind blew.
“Thanks Jim. It’s a tragic time in the Grayson household as they found out the terrible news. Twenty three- year-old Randy Grayson was found dead on the side of the road. He was bruised and beaten senseless with cuts up his arms and a wooden stake with a metal tip jabbed through his chest, right through his heart. The victim’s parents are devastated.”
Then the screen flashed to Alex and Claude, Andy and Danny’s parents. They were crying, well, Alex was. “Randy was such an alive boy. Why? Why did they do this? WHY DID THEY TAKE MY SON-”
They cut off Alex’s screams and went to Andy; his eyes were puffy and overflowing with tears.
“B-Big bro was always a pacifist…” He sniffled and wiped his nose with the back of his sleeve. “He never had any enemies…why would someone do that?!” He whimpered and held his face in his hands. Then Danny came by and put an arm around his brother. He was whispering ‘It’s okay bro. I got you.’
I turned off the T.V. My mind froze. What the hell is happening? Who did this? And why are they after…Wait, there not after the twins…whoever it was is after me. And he/she won’t stop until they finally got me…I felt sick to my stomach and I ran to the downstairs bathroom to puke my guts out in the toilet.
