★Loving The Bad Boy★

Its Fine, Im Fine

Well, a week has gone by and my grief has almost fully disappeared. I slipped on a pair of forbidden white shorts and a loose rolling stones T-shirt. I hopped in my car and turned up the volume. Today I decided to get my life back on track. The reason for this is that I feel that with all this Baily troubles and Nick confusing me, I would just free myself. And of course the next song that played was 'work bitch' by Britney Spears. I honestly hate this song but instead of changing the station I turn up the volume and jam out.

I steer myself towards the school and swerve into a parking space. I prop my bag onto my shoulder and walk towards the school. Once the smell of pencil shavings and sweaty football players hits my nose I know I'm in the building. Wink wink. Anyway I guess when people say the smaller you are the less your seen is pretty true. I'm not exactly tall but I'm not short. I'm thin and easy to zip past but I'm strong so dont get in my way or I will kick you in the shins.

"Hey Jessica?" Hunter waves me toward him. "Got a minute?"

"Sure, what's up?" I ask propping myself up against a nearby locker.

"Well I'm going to Shelly's Shack later. You wanna join me? It just seems like you've been kinda....lonesome recently." He asks shrugging his shoulders.

"Uh, ya I think that would be fun." I smile.

"Cool. Oh and by the way, nice legs." He winks then turn and walks away. I'm pretty sure I'm turning as red as a tomato. Surely it was just a friendly remark. And I'm sure were just going to Shelly's just as friends. Not as a date. Right? Oh and just so you know Shelly's Shack is a small cafe near the Oregon port beach. Its not anything like Florida beaches or California. Its always windy, sand stings your eyes, seagulls swarm the always cloudy sky, and the water is freezing and not to mention full of sharks probably.

I should've listened to my mom and not worn my tight white shorts today. I could've avoided turning into a tomato by Hunters compliment. I think.

"Are you sure?" Asks Maddie sprawling on my bed.

"Yes. Hunter and I are just friends! He's taking me to Shelly's just so I can get my mind of things." I growl joining her on the bed.

"Well are you at least gonna get dressed up?"

"What?! Why would I need to dress up?" I ask a little to urgently.

"Well I don't know...it just sounds as if it was you know....a date." She shrugs.

"Its not a date Maddie. At least I don't think it is." I say unsurely.

Why would Hunter ask me out? Does he actually like me? No he probably doesn't, but even if by the tiniest of chance he does, do I like him back? Ok I just need to shut up. Don't make this such a big deal, your just going to a cafe with your friend. Your friend. And that's it.

"Well can I help pick out and outfit for you at least?" Maddie ask springing up from the bed.

"Fine." I groan sitting up.

I slip on a different pair of shorts (ones that are slightly longer) and a light blue tank top with the words 'Moon River' in silver on it, a pair of white sandals and head out the door. Its about 4:30pm. He should be here in about 5 minutes. I didn't want to do much to my hair so I just tied it into a high ponytail and only put a few swipes of mascara and a little eyeliner on. Just then I see his van pull up.

"Ready to go?" He asks rolling down his window.

"Eye yi captain!" I giggle opening the car door. Oh my god did I just say eye yi captain? Holy shit I did didn't I!
