Strangers At First Sight

Back to School...

Jake let Dallas and Liberty crash at his house after the party last night since they were both drunk and couldn't drive home. Liberty woke up on the couch feeling the urge to throw up. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. "Gosh I am never drinking again." Liberty said as she flushed the toliet and rinsed her mouth. "That's what everyone says after they drink!" Jake smirked as he leaned on the bathroom door shirtless and with messy hair. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" Liberty said splashing water on her face. "How couldn't I with your T-Rex feet!" Jake and Liberty laughed. "I just wanted to thank you for what you did last night." Jake said. "It's cool." Liberty said walking past him and over to Dallas who was still asleep on the couch. "Watch!" Jake said grabbing a marker and drawing 'loser' on Dallas' forhead. He then jumped on the couch and started yelling!! "Ahhhh what hdfnjdhfui!" Dallas shouted! Liberty was on the floor dying of laughter!!!!! "Fuck off!" Dallas said making his head hit the couch pillows. 

"Aww now I feel bad!" Liberty said crawling over to Dallas and kissing his cheek. "He smiled and opened his eyes. "How's your cheek?" Dallas asked gently rubbing his thumb over her bruise and kissing it. "It feels better now that you kissed it!" Liberty smiled giving Dallas another quick kiss leaving him wanting more. "Who wants to help me clean up!?" Jake asked with a trash bag in one of his hands and a broom stick in the other. Dallas got up off the couch and grabbed his shoes. "I have to get home...and Liberty." Dallas said grabbing Liberty's hand. "Yeah I have to get ready for school tomorrow!" Liberty giggled as Dallas dragged her out the door. "Mother fuckers!!" Jake said as he started cleaning.

"Thanks for last night!" Liberty said in her room. Her dad was still not home thank God or else he would of saw the bruise. He was proabably hungover at the firestation. "No problem...sorry about Courtney." Dallas said. "Why does everyone keep apologizing for her? It's her fault not yours and definetly not Jake's." Liberty responded. "Okay, can we make out now!" Dallas cupped Liberty's cheeks with both his hands and pulled her close! They both shut their eyes and well the rest is history!!

Liberty's dad asked her about her bruise and she responded with a lie that she spent to much time laying her cheek on her hand so it formed a bruise. He didn't quite believe it but Liberty went outside and rode her bike to school before her dad could question it. At school everyone gave Liberty comments like "You are my hero!" "Nice job!" "I hate Courtney but I love you!" Liberty didn't exactly know what to think so she went by her day like any other day...under the radar. Except in fifth period when RJ invited her to hang with him and his outcast/druggie crew.

Liberty sat with Dallas, Jake, and the rest of their friends during lunch when Mr. Garrett, the principle, stood on a chair and started to say an announcements. "Attention students, you will be able to sign up for our annual art competition in Mrs. Gain's room 193. The reward for winning is having your art displayed in front of the whole school and getting two thousand dollars. or how are kids calling it these days?" Mr. Garrett looked over at Mrs Gain for help, she simply shrugged her shoulder. "Dope, I think they are calling it dope" The students eating all laughed. "We have already had one student sign up so hurry up before it's to late."

Liberty looked over at Dallas. Dallas winked at Liberty and smirked. Liberty's mouth dropped as Dallas continued to smirk. "No, you didn't. Please tell me you didn't" Liberty put her hand on Dallas' arm as he took a bite of his sandwich. "Let's just say you should start thinking what you are going to draw or paint!" Dallas said. "Dallas, I said I don't like other people seeing my art." Liberty slapped Dallas' toned back. "ouch, abusive much!!" Dallas chuckled. "Relax you know your good and I know your good! You are going to win!" Dallas gave Liberty a kiss on her cheek. "I don't like you very much right now!" Liberty said crossing her arms over her chest. "Really well what about now?" Dallas asked. "Nope still don't" Liberty said. "Ooh wrong answer! Dallas said as he started tickling Liberty. Liberty's legs flew everywhere and her laughter filled the lunch room!!
