Raelyn's POV
The time of the dock night out arrived and we where, once again, all cramped inside of the van driving towards the docks car parking.
"You know guys that Rafe has been acting really happy lately, like he is never happy and he had basically stopped taking drugs?!" Sarah blurted out, 'shit' I thought in my head. Rafe was acting off and so was I, if we got caught out this would go down like a rain if fire upon the two of us.
"Wouldn't have anything to do with you Rae would it?" Pope Joked, "N- no why would it?" I stammered. Shit I stammered. Everyone looked at me strangely but thankfully ignore it as we pulled up. "Oh yeah, Rafe and Topper are going to be here tonight so it may be a bit awkward" Sarah added.
Rafe was here?
"We'll stay the hell way from Topper" John B spoke, he then looked at me. "And you need to stay away from Rafe, He's no good" John B warned as we walked closer to the docks. The sun was set and it was dark out, the perfect time to have a conversation. But i would have to sneak off.
"I will, don't worry and just chillax" I lied, Kie smiled at me and we headed towards a table. Almost immediately my eyes locked with his, he smirked a little before looking away and back at Topper. I zoned out away from the conversation going on at the table.
The room felt quiet and drinks were being passed around everywhere, I wasn't engaging with the others I was just making eye contact with Rafe a lot. We smiled and winked at each other, no one seemed to notice which was good.
"I'm going to go to the toilet" I used the same excuse I used as last time, they didn't seem to fussed about it so I quickly got up and grabbed my cigarette packet. For some reason I felt the need to smoke now, I hadn't done it since that night where I was drunk with Rafe.
I leaned against a back wall, lighting the tip.
"Don't do that" I felt someone take it out my mouth, I looked up to see Rafe standing before me. "Why I wanted that" I groaned, "well you can't smoke that stuff, it will kill you" he said as he dropped it on the floor. "But you smoke" I added.
He didn't answer me, "how's your night going?" He asked. "Very boring" I replied truthfully. "It's just full of Sarah and John B flirting" I added. "Yeah well the boys are boring me too" He smirked. He placed his hands on my shoulders "if everyone knew it would be so much easier" he admitted. I nodded in agreement.
"We can we tell people?" I asked. "I don't know, maybe we should wait until the find out themselves" he shrugged. That was a good idea I guess. After a few more moments of talking we both returned back to our tabled unnoticed.
"Sorry I took so long, I decided to have a smoke while I was up" I semi truthfully told. They all smiled and nodded as I sat back down.
I looked back at Rafe who was already looking at me, "Rae why are you looking at him" Kie asked. I snapped my head away from Rafe and at Kie. The whole table was looking at me, "I have noticed that you have looked at him a few times, why?" Kie asked another question. "I um" I stammered.
Somebody dropped by our table placing a letter, pulling the attention away from me thankfully. JJ opened it, "we have all been invited to this years summer bonfire party!" JJ smiled happily as he read it out loud.
This party was the biggest party of all time for every teen living in the outer banks. I had been every year but this year was apparently going to be the best yet.
