A Few Pictures With You

Ch.6: Let The Games Begin

It's been a few days, I haven't heard from Ella or Elliot. I wonder if he told her. However I did hear that Kayla didn't kiss 5 boys that day, she went home with the fourth one. And because she didn't finish the dare, she's done with the game. She still gets to tag along but can't join in on the fun.

Todays dare is to steal someone's ATV on the coastline and drive it around from one side of the beach back to where you took it from. Like a joy ride. So it's technically not stealing if I'm bringing it back to them.

I head to the shack where you can rent an ATV or leave your personal one there. As I make my way to them, I see Ella. My heart skips a beat, I haven't heard from her since I kissed Elliot. I'm afraid my bestfriend will hate me.

"Oh my gosh Jessica!!" She says with almost too excitement. Am i relieved? She runs towards me and hugs me tight.

"Dude Ive been so busy the last two days but let me tell you who i kissed on Friday!!" She tells me that she kissed one of the teachers, the one that every girl gushes over. Mr. Addams. He's hot so I'm jealous.

I guess Elliot didn't say anything. "Did you get any lucky boys??" She starts to poke me over and over.

"Nobody special, I guess that super smart top of the class kid that graduated with us?" I feel bad that I forget his name.

"The indian?? He's SUUUUCH a sweetie." She says this as if she has a crush on him.

"Are you ready for today's dare?" I ask her to move away from the initial conversation. She cracks her knuckles. "I don't want to take a complete strangers ATV.. I wonder if Elliot is here today." I froze as she says this. Elliot's here?? I'm not ready for fighting right now.

We walk around all the ATVs, looking at them as if we want to buy one. Then I hear his voice, "You better not be looking for mine, Ella." We turn around, his smile fades when he sees me.

"Hi Elliot." I say casually. Im nervous.
"And you, definitely can't go anywhere near my stuff. You'll get your sweat stains on it. Gross ass." He says this even more casually. But of course Ella butts in.

"Okay enough Elliot, now where is it?"
Ella's arms are crossed. As her and her brother bicker back and forth, Im looking around to find his ATV. And i've spotted it. It's red with silver stripes along the edges of the vehicle. The tires have a star shape in the middle of them, his is super easy to spot out, and badass too if you will.

I take two small steps back and then dart for the ATV. Stupid Elliot, leaving his keys on the bike. Then I realized he needed it anyways. Whoops!

I see Ella standing in disappointment at the shack and Elliot storming his way towards me. He's too late though because I ended up speeding off.

About two minutes go by and I hear an engine, and it's getting louder behind me. I'm scared to look. Is it security?? I can't get arrested, the whole point of these dares were to not get arrested but to have fun. To my surprise, its Elliot. Shit. He's going to start an argument. I haven't been with him alone, besides that one moment in the gym but there were people in the building.

I start speeding ahead barley even knowing how to drive this thing. He finally catches up beside me. Perfectly beside me. It's attractive how he managed to do that. But I get myself ready to hear him say something unforgiving.

"Pull the fuck over, Jess!"
He says without a struggle to stay by my side.

"No!" I start to speed up to the highest this thing can go, forgetting it's actually his. I end up going full force into a bunch of sand dunes and rocks. I jump off before it crashes. Oh shit. Oh shit Oh shit.

As I lay in the sand I hear Elliot's ATV that he's in catch up to me but slowly turn off. I hear running and yelling.

"Jess! Jess!" I hear as I feel his hand touch my arm and his other hand on my waist to help me up. Once he notices I can move, he jumps back into reality.

"Fuck!" He keeps cursing. and cursing. It's hot.. but he's angry so I have to sympathize. It's also kind of scary. But i know after the other day and especially now.

"Jessica." You can tell he's trying not to yell at me. "Oh, you've done it." His hands are in fists. He doesn't get any closer to me, but his eyes wouldn't stay off of me.

I'm sitting in the sand, he used my full name. I can tell he wants me dead now.
