11 : The connection

One day I was sitting outside, in the garden at the pool. I was dipping my legs in the water and looking at the beautiful garden, in my own thoughts. I loved lonely times but I had no problem if someone give me company. Besides if it was morning because I am not a morning person and can then be grumpy if things don't get in my way or irritate me.
Suddenly I could see in my eye strain that some dark figure was sitting down next to me. I didn't need to look, I knew it was Colin. I was quiet and calm. Unusually but I guess the garden gave me it and it was light outside. He sat in silence and so did I. We sat quietly for a while before he started to speak.
"I hadn't the courage before to say it but I think I am in love with you" He said and looked at me desperately. I looked to the side. I know he is obsessed with me so I am not surprised that he is in love with me. I am afraid to reject him but I need to, I can't pretend that I am in love with him. He could for sure see through me. I felt sick in my stomach.
" Colin.." I said and it was hard to be calm. " am not in love with you if it is that you want to know"
" Why?" He asked. I didn't want to have that conversation. I didnt want to be there anymore. So I stood up to walk away. But seconds later he was standing up in front of me.
" It's not important" I said trying to get away from him.
" Just say why?!" He said harshly and took a hard grip on my wrist. I froze at his hard tone to me. A chill crept through me.
" You are not my type" I said calmly and dragged my arm hard away from him which I succeed. He is not my type with the personality, he does look good but I never think of him that way.

Later that day I was fixing myself for the party that was outside. I and Adam would go, the whole school was invited. Adam would meet me there. The rest of his friends wouldn't go. Gwen was negative about it and Julie was sick. I had dark blue jeans that went from my hips down, to jeans I had a v-necked long-sleeved t-shirt. The long-sleeved t-shirt had retro graphic print and the style is yk2 in the 90s. The long-sleeved t-shirt ends with the umbilicus.

Two hours later I was walking alone to the party. The party was outside by a lake. The lake was by a forest. An urge forest which I was walking in. I had taken a bus, and Colin's friend had picked him up. His gang. I noticed they did when I saw them in the car driving past me when I got off the bus. One of his friends who was driving asked if I wanted to get a ride but I denied his request because I saw on his face and the others that it was not good intentions and I was a little afraid that they may be up to something. Colin's friends faces told it all. Maybe some sort of sick game which I didn't want to be in. I rather walk alone in the forest. By the way couldn't they drive all the way to the lake because it took to stop and they needed to park the car, so they needed go into the forest, anyway.

When I arrived I saw a bridge by the lake and some campfires. The booze was there and people were drinking. There were a lot of people, but I couldn't see Adam. He must come soon. I took some alcohol in a mug and drank.
I looked at my phone if Adam had sent me something but unfortunately it wasn't some signal. So typical. If Adam had not come in an hour I wasn't going stayed. I was here to be with him and not some drunk people.
