Teenage Love

Chapter 7

Date Written: Saturday, October 23, 2021

After my conversation with Andi I made my way back over to Mikey.

"Hey, how did it go?" He asked, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Good, I think we got past it." I say nuzzling closer to him and put my nose against his neck. He pulls me in closer and wraps his other arm around me. I copy his motions and wrap my arms around him.

I keep my head nuzzled into his neck and lightly press a kiss to it. I can feel him take in a sharp breath and tighten his hold on me. I smile a little and kiss him again. He squeezes me in his hold and plants a kiss on my head.

"Don't do that." He playfully warned me.

"Do what?" I play dumb.

"You know what." He says squeezing me again. I can't help but laugh.

After another few seconds we pull away.

"I gotta go to the bathroom." Mikey whispered to me.

"That's more than I wanted to know." I told him laughing lightly. He smiled and turned to the rest of the group.

"Pee break. Who's gotta go?" He asked.

Everyone said they had to go.

"Okay then, this is the little boy's room," He points to a tunnel, then turns to a different one. "And that tunnel's the little girl's room."

With that we split up. I heard Brand say something but ignored it and headed into the girl's tunnel. I didn't have to pee but I didn't want to wait out in the open alone. Something about standing out there all alone creeped me out. I heard Stef and Andi talking.

"Andi, this is not the time or the place for this." I heard Stef say. What are they talking about.

"Believe me, I know what I'm doing. Brand! Brand!" Andi started calling out.

Oh I get it now. I quickly leave cause I did not want to see whatever was going to happen. I made it out of the tunnel before I saw what happened. I didn't see or hear what happened.

Eventually everyone comes out of the tunnels and back into the bigger area where I was waiting. I looked for Mikey and saw him talking to Data and Mouth. I tried to get his attention but he refused to look at me. Mouth even nudged him to try and get him to come over to me, but Mikey just shook his head. I couldn't help but feel hurt. We were fine not even fifteen minutes ago, so what happened?

Suddenly, I heard Andi freaking out again. I turn to see what happened this time.

"You guys its the Fratelli's! This way, this way! Follow me! Don't fall behind. Come on." Brand said pulling Andi along with a hand over her mouth.

We ran into the middle tunnel. We came to a little waterfall and river with a fallen log going across it. It seemed to be the only way to get to the other side.

"What is this?" Brand asks.

"Keep going, you guys!" Mikey says lightly pushing Brand.

"This looks like a drawbridge or something." Brand says.

"Well whatever it is we have to cross it." I say. Mikey nods in agreement but still won't look at me.

We start heading across. The order goes Brand, Andi, Stef, Mouth, me, then Mikey. Data still hasn't come over.

"Data, hurry up!" I yell to him.

"Yeah, don't be a fool, Data. Come on." Mikey yells.

"I've got an idea. Slick Shoes!" He yells over to us as he slowly starts to come over.
