America

< 5 >

I have been here a two weeks and have like 3 friends. Wow this sucks. At least I have Mitch and brain they are pretty cool. Except brain went out of town for the weekend. Hmm I should call Mitch.
"MIIIIIIITCH!" I screech as he answers the phone
"AMERICAAAAAA!" He yells back.
"What's up?"
"Oh the usual stuff what are you up to"
"Nothing I'm super bored and it's Friday!"
"Haha sucks to suck!"
"Rude"
"Wanna hangout tomorrow?"
"Why can't we hangout now!" I whined
I sounded like a little bitch but I'm bored.
"Because I'm busy"
"You are always busy! It's like you have a second life!"
"..."
"Mitch I'm coming over right now"
I hang up, put my converse and head to his house. I knock and his mom answers the door
"OH hi Al I didn't know you were coming over"
"Yeah Mitch need help with his homework so I came to help him" I lied. I don't know why I lied it just felt weird telling her we were going to hang out because I don't think she likes me and my brother very much.
"Oh ok he is in his room"
"Ok thanks" I smile and go to his room.
I knock on his door that has a few scratches. Probably from his dog. He doesn't answer so I just open the door. "Hey"
"Oh hey" he says closing out of whatever he was doing on the internet
"Whatcha doin'?" I ask as sit on his bed
"Um nothing just some homework"
Ok so I know he is lying because he wouldn't have just logged off if it was 'just homework'. Gross maybe he was watching porn! Let's just forget it.
"Sounds fun... Let's do something."
"Like what" he says turning his chair towards the bed where I was sitting
"I don't know"
"It has to be quick because I still have a lot of homework"
"Lies! We literally have most of the same classes and I don't have any home work"
"Well I have homework ok"
"Alright no need to get salty" I say sticking my tongue at him he sticks his tongue back at me. I smile.
"Really let's do something"
"America I would love to hang out but I just can't right now"
"Does it have to do with the thing you exited when I came in?" I ask feeling kind of hurt that he thinks porn is more important than me.
" yeah" he says rubbing his neck with he hand. Good grief I can't be upset with him he is so cute.
" oh ok bye" I get up and walk towards the door
"It's nothing bad I swear" he says as I open the door
"I believe you..." I say looking at him... Maybe it's not porn.
"I want to but it's kind of embarrassing"
What could be so embarrassing? What ever I'm over it. Oooo maybe I'll go to the arcade and play that racing game. Oh wait Mitch.
"Haha ok you don't have to tell me... Right now" I smirk
He smiles and I walk to the arcade
Why can't I get my head off of what he was doing. I mean it shouldn't bother me this much but it does!
After a few hours and a loss of thirty bucks I leave the arcade. As I'm walking home I get a call from brain.
"Hey"
"Hey how's the vacation"
"It was good"
"Was?!? Are you home"
He laughs" yeah that's why I called wanna do something tonight like a movie"
"Duh"
"Ok I'll pick you up from your house in a bit"
"Ok sounds good" I hang up and rush home.
I sit on the couch scrolling though Ifunny as I wIt for brain to come. When I see his car pull up and grab my purse and my phone vibrates
Brain- I'm here
Me- ok
I get in his car.
"Hey" his car smelled like cologne and leather... I personally think it's the best smell in the world
"Hi"
"So what movie do you want to see" he asks backing out of the drive way
"I don't know surprise me"
"Ok" he smirks.
I just laugh at he attempt to be mysterious and flirty.
"So America what's history"
"My history?"
"Yeah like where were you born? Where is your dad? Why you moved here? Do you have any other family? Like your history."

"Ok well I was born and raised in Irving, Texas (a small town right outside of Dallas Texas). My father... Hmm I don't know much about him. My parents divorced when I was three... oh actually I know he is in prison because he is a fuck up." Maybe that's where I get it from! "Anyway we moved here because my mom was transferred with work and yes I have a lot of family and the are all from Texas... All over Texas from the mountain split town of El Paso to the flat land of Lubbock to the River city of San Antonio. But I've never actually met any of then it's usually just me ike and mom" I say realizing I might have bored him with my life.
"Woah I never knew" he states as we pull up to the theater and get out of the car.
"Yeah what about you? What's your history"
"Well there isn't much to tell I was born and raised in this town... My parents got divorced when I was younger and they both have relationships now I have a ton of siblings and I like to play video games" that's pretty much me. We laugh together and we walk across the parking lot.
"So umm go buy popcorn or something so I can get the tickets without you seeing what tickets I get"
"Ok sounds good"
I walk over to the concession stand and see the popcorn dude flirting with one of the staff members.
"Umm excuse me can I order please" I say making him break away from the poor girl
"Oh sorry miss what can I help you with?" He states obviously annoyed
"I need a medium popcorn,some gummy worms, and a pickle"
"Ok that will be 15" he says very monotonously
"Alright" I hand him the monopoly looking Canadian money, I grab our snacks and look for brain. Oh he is standing next to the ticket line smiling like and idiot.
"AL-right" he says trying to be funny with my name. I just laugh at him.
"Let's go see this movie" I say nudging him with my elbow and almost dropping the popcorn. "Here let me help you" oh thanks.
We watch some scary ass movie about a fucking doll. Like what the fuck how is a story about a doll scary. As we walk out brains phone rings.
"Hey"
"Naw I just got of a movie"
"Yeah I'm with America"
"Yea I think so"
"No dude"
"Alright well go over there"
"Wait who are you talking to?" I Interrupt
"Ok bye" he said obviously ignoring my question and hanging up his phone
"Come on" he says grabbing my hand and running towards the car.
"Crackers and cheese!" Which I know really means 'holy fuck'.
We get into his car and drive towards the park.
"Why are we going to the park?"
"Because"
"Omgeeeee just tell me!"
He smiles as he parks and gets off. I follow him but it dark and we just watched a freaky ass movie. I am not ok. Where the fuck is he?! "BOO"
"FUCKING BITCH!" I say punching him in the arm "damn you punch hard"
"Well yeah you gave me a freaking mini heart attack"
He laughs "ok come on"
"Not until you tell me where we are going" I say trying to calm down.
"We are going to meet a couple of friends" he says.
"Fine" I grab his arm so I don't lose him.we head to the dock where I see a few people sitting and talking. One of them must have seen us because they were walking towards us. "Hey Brayden! Hey America! We have been waiting for you" everyone giggles. I have never heard anyone call brain by his real name since I gave him the nickname.What is even going on?
"So America" the girls voice continued "we just wanted to welcome you to Canada" what does that me? Wait is this like an initiation "wait what are talking about?" "Shhhhh"
suddenly I feel hands all over my body. My clothes are being taken off! I am in my underwear screaming and kicking. Why is no one helping me. The hands stop. But only for a quick second I feel them pick me up where are we going? Oh fuck not the water!
"WAIT! STOP!" I scream as the hands that are holding me slowly raise me a push me off into the water. My heart drops... I don't know how deep it is and I can't swim! the second I touch the water it's feels like a eternity as it engulfs my body. I drop down fairly far and I can not reach the bottom. I am in full on panic mode. I frantically move my arms trying to swim to the surface. I finally reach the surface and can only heard them laughing and yelling non coherent things. I am terrified. "I...CANT...SWIM!" I yell rep easily swallowing water after every word. "Oh fuck" I can hear them panicking and I see someone dive in. My heart is pounding and the world is moving slower around me. The water is freezing and I have probably ingested some kind of bacteria from swallowing so much lake water. It's like someone is turning off and on the power in my body.
I feel his familiar hands grab me as he pulls me to the shore. He drags me out of the water and hugs me to keep me warm while the other run to us. He was shaking too. I tried to stay awake but my head became so light I just couldn't do it. My body took over and the world went pitch black.
