────────────────── THE CONFESSION
I SAT ON THE beach with rafe. We were on a blanket as the wind blew from the right of us. The beach was quiet and i'm glad rafe stopped me on the way here asking if he could join me.
"did you end up falling asleep last night?" i asked jokingly
"not really? ended up getting about three hours." he chuckled nervously and i noticed his cheeks get red
"so, what the plan today." i change the subject
"uh i'm going over to toppers to workout, then take you on a date, then movie tonight at the country club," he said smoothly
"w-what?" i let out a laugh "date?"
"hm?" he turned his head towards me
"you said you're taking me on a date?"
"can i?" he said quickly "t-take you on a date?"
"maybe," i smirked then turned my head towards the water again
"maybe," rafe whispered to himself and i saw him nod as if he was convincing himself
"im busy today, but ill think about it." i knocked his side with mine "do you need anything before heading to top's? i don't want to take up your time."
"i should be good." he was in thought "oh! is there any way you could drop off me a power drink? i'll pay you back."
"yeah of course, but if you think i'm spending any more time near topper after i drop it off you're wrong." i still can't stand topper. he was a bully and that leaves marks in your mind and your past
I WALKED UP to topper's house with rafe's energy drink he asked for. I was confused at the store because there were like 100 different flavors so i just chose the most appealing.
"you could have helped me rafe so i wouldn't be getting all the consequences." topper said
"i know he's a pogue and all but do we really have to do that? beat someone up that's just doing their job?" rafe's voice got louder as i got closer
"oh yeah, isn't your little girlfriend a pouge and friends with pope?" topper said back to him
"genevieve? dude my dad is paying me to hang out with her." my heart dropped "she's just a broken record that i need to fix." that's when i decided i was done with rafe's bullshit and made my appearance to the boys
"um, i brought the drink you asked for." i unscrewed the cap and poured it on the floor "oops, my bad, guess you're gonna need the money for that, right?" they all went silent
"vi-" rafe tried to take a step toward me
"stop." i dropped the bottle on the ground and walked away from the group of teenage boys
