Maniac~ H. Moskowitz

-011-

I woke up in the warmth of my bed.

Wait, not my bed. WHERE AM I?!

"Oh, you are awake, it took you long enough," a voice called. 

I jumped, and turned to see the guy I kissed last night. 

"Haw- Eli?! What am I doing here? Did we do something last night? What happen-" 

But then I remembered the kiss, and how everything went down. I thought your memory goes away after a night of drinking. I guess I did not get as drunk as I thought I did. 

"Did we do anything in your room?" I asked. 

"I would never take advantage of you, especially after how drunk you got after the last round of spin the bottle." 

I sighed, "Thank you for taking me back to your house." 

"Of course." He grinned. "You look beautiful in my clothes, princess."

I hit him with a pillow, my cheeks red. 

Even though my head was pounding and there was hair all over my face, I could still see how close we actually were. 

"W-well, I should probably start walking hom--" 

He kissed me. Again. 

It felt like the 4th of July, my stomach was on fire. Moving my lips to sync with his, I tugged at his hair. It was not in a mohawk right now. 

Was it bad that I wanted this to continue?

He pulled away, "now you can go home."

Good thing Hawk's house is right down the road, and good thing school does not start for another hour.

I walked into school after an eventful morning and walked straight to the cobras. They were in their usual spot. Right next to Eli's locker.

He was the first person I saw. 

We made eye contact. I smiled shyly, looking down.

I was about to walk towards Eli to talk to him, but I was pulled on the arm by Tory. "Going to talk to lover-boy without saying hi to me?" 

I giggled, "Hello Tory." 

She engulfed me in a hug, a hug that she gives me every morning. 

"There you go, now you can talk to the love of your life."

"He is NOT the love of my life, Tory." 

She sighed and went to talk to Rickenberger. 

What a lovely couple. 

I walked the other way, leaving the group of Cobras, and went to Eli, who was standing a bit away from the group.

"Coming back for more, I see," he laughed, looking up from his phone and picking up a starnd of my hair. "How did you sleep? Was my bed comfortable enough for you, princess?" 

"Ehh, the mattress could have been softer," I smiled. 

He chuckled while he twirled the brunette curl around his finger. "So, I was wondering..." 

He trailed off. 

"Wondering... what?" 

He pulled me away from the group. 7:59, one more minute before the bell rings. 

"Look, Scarlett, I like you." He sighed, "And I was wondering if you would want to go out to dinner with me one night. I'll pay, I will even pick you up. But ever since that day in the janitors closet, I have been think about yo-"

I kissed him for the third time.

"How could I say no to someone like you?"   

He smiled, my heart warmed. 

And the bell rang, just in time.
