Capture Me [On Hold]

Chapter 1

"Start by telling us what happened." That is what I woke up to on my lovely Saturday morning. Well, it's not so lovely anymore. You'd think that my parents would get bored grilling me about all the things I've done, but no, for some reason they enjoy doing it. So let's get back on track.

"Mom, I didn't do anything! The tree jumped out in front of me. So if you want to go yell at somebody, go yell at the tree!" Well it's not completely a lie. You see when I was coming home from Cara's house last night there was an extremely hot guy standing on the side of the road. I mean EXTREMELY hot. He had this deep brown hair, with a little bit of wave to it. And these striking blue eyes, that were so light they were almost white. And if you know me at all you know I'm a sucker for guys with wavy hair and blue eyes. And not to help the matters, he was shirtless! With is tan skin and his six pack, shining from the lights of my headlights. Well, it's more like glistening from sweat.

Anyways, I got distracted and ran in to a tree, right in front of Mr. Hottie. It really didn't hurt the car that much. The car only has a little dent in it. Well, it's about the size of a soccer ball, but that is really not that big! And I am so happy I backed out, and got away before Mr. Hottie was able to come and help. Because that was really embarrassing.

"Bailey, this is not a time to play around!" She was staring me down with this horrible gleam in her eyes, that she always has when she's reprimanding me for something.

"I'm not playing around, mom. The tree literally jumped out at me!" Okay, so I like to get on my moms nerves. But what teenager doesn't?

"Bailey, you are getting on my last nerves with this shit! Tell me what happened! Were you drunk?"

"Of course I wasn't drunk! Why would you even think that? You were up when I got home last night. You would have been able to tell if I was drunk or not, Mom." I haven't had any alcohol in my 16 years on this planet. Unless you count having a sip of my moms ameretto sours. That she only has on occasion or when she is stressed. But I guess with my reputation people automatically assume I drink.

"Well what do you expect me to think, when you are telling me that a tree jumped out in the middle of the road?" Now she is giving me the you are stupid as fuck look.

"I don't know. Maybe, you could believe me!" Okay, maybe it's time to cut the crap. And tell her what really happened. People get distracted and run off the road all the time, right? Well, probably looking at a cute puppy or a nice car, not a hot guy. So I'll just tell her that I got distracted looking at a really cute puppy.

"Okay, fine I got distracted looking at a really cute puppy. I think it was there on purpose. It was trying to kill me!" You know like in the movies where they have those really cute dogs and they turn out to be demon dogs? No? Okay.

"Really, Bailey. Thats why you wrecked the car? A stupid little puppy!" My mom isn't really the animal type. So Ive never had an type of animal. Which really sucks, but it helps sometimes because I can pull the "I've never had animal guilt card" as Cara says.

"If you would have allowed me to have a puppy, I would know what one looks like! So don't go blaming me for not knowing what a puppy looks like."

So after that long very annoying conversation with my mom. I got a call from Cara for me to join her at the park. The only bad thing is I'm grounded from my car for two weeks! So I have to walk to the park. Which isn't really that bad because it's only around the corner from my house. I live in this little neighborhood called Egret Circle in Charleston, SC.

So I start walking. It only takes me about five minutes to get to the park. I walk into the park entrance, and I automatically spot Cara. She jumping around, with her bleach blond curls bouncing on her shoulders, waving at me. She is a short little thing only about 5' feet tall. While I'm 5'6 with straight Carmel color hair.
