Stupid Love

7

I woke up to the sudden change of direction. I passed out on the car ride home again. Doesn't surprise me, after everything that happened today I'm mentally drained causing my body to follow suit.

" And then she was whispering to her friend about how she's gonna meet this guy and how she has this big plan for him tonight."

Was she going on that whole time? I think about saying that I passed out, but the sudden urge of adrenaline rushes through my body.

"That's very interesting Maddi." I respond without batting an eye.

I see the all too familiar houses on the sides of the road, "Great we're home." I told myself with an instant feeling of annoyance. We pull up to my house and she carefully parks on the side of our maybe ten foot driveway; giving enough room for my parents to get home from work.

"Let's go get you ready for this little "Get together" tonight." Maddi says with happiness and a dash of sarcasm.

I slowly get out of the small pickup truck and walk towards the house until I hear Maddi honk the horn. It was as if a rubber ducky could talk type of sound, something that won't intimidate you but also catches you off guard. I walk over towards the pickup truck and open the door for her.

"You know if this was the real deal you'd be screwed." Maddi says with her smile now gone cold.

"I don't know how I'd be transformed into a metal instrument." I reply with a smirk.

She rolls her eyes and we proceed to walk into the garage, it's very messy with sports equipment, bikes and just random stuff that our family likes to hoard. I walk up to the old wooden door and open it for Maddi.

"There you go!" She says with sass.

I roll my eyes again and we proceed quickly through the house and up the stairs towards my room. I turn on the light and the room goes from shadowy and drim to bright, Ironic kind of like how today went.

Maddi shuts the door behind us and throws her keys on top of my disorganized desk. She proceeds to my closet and looks around.

"What are you doing," I asked her.

"We gotta find you something hot for you to wear tonight, We can't have you looking like a virgin." She responds, as she continues to rummage through my clothes.

I roll my eyes again, " But I am one. I've been waiting for the right person."

She quietly says " You've had the right person all along."

I get shocked by that response but couldn't tell if she actually said it. "What?" I say back to her.

Silence

"Here try this out," She says, throwing a black hoodie and a black t-shirt onto my bed.

I look at it and look at her. I could see her smiling but her eyes looked a different way, as if she wanted to either cry or kill me. I take off my shirt and throw it into my hamper across the room. My skin is now exposed and the chilling feeling of undressing in the cold room goes through my body like a lightning bolt.

I noticed Maddi was looking at my body in a very particular way, a way she only looks like whenever I take my shirt off at the pool. Like she's ready to do something to me, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I slip into my black t-shirt and hoodie and notice her quickly look away as if I was nothing to look at anymore. " How does this look?" I ask her, slouching down as if I was a really bad runway model.

She smiles and bolts to my dresser. She rummages through my dresser and finds a set of black khakis and throws them onto the bed.

I look at her, this time she's biting her lip ever so slightly. I look back to the bed and sigh.

" You wanna look away for a second please?" I say looking back at her.

She raises her eyebrows and rolls her eyes and looks towards my bedroom door.

I quickly unzipped my jeans and threw them to the hamper, noticing that Maddi was peaking over her shoulder. I quickly took the khakis and started putting them on when I noticed my testicals were hanging out of my boxers.

I gasped and readjusted them and quickly put on the khakis when I heard "You know she might like those later."

I spun around and saw that Maddi saw all of that.

"It's just part of human life to look sometimes." She replies as she slowly stops biting her lip.

"Well I don't because they're all the same in the textbook." I reply with a snarky tone.

She smiles and rolls her eyes, she grabs my hand and pulls me out the room and into the bathroom with such speed.

She grabs a water sprayer and a comb and starts spraying my hair. The cold and wet feeling was actually pretty nice. The way it just landed gently on top of my head and cooled my head was peaceful.

She starts combing my hair and I look into her eyes as she does it. So determined and concentrated. She stops combing and steps back towards the bathtub and says "I think you'll win her over tonight, just don't mess this up."

I turned towards the mirror and looked as if I looked like a whole new person. I turn around to say "Thank yo-" She was gone.
