~*~*~*~*

So it was finally Friday and today is the dance.

"So I'm coming over to your house around 4 to do our hair and makeup. That should be enough time right?" Jill asked me

"Yep. Just pleasee not too much makeup?" I pleaded her with my best puppy dog eyes

"Okay fine" she smiled and I smiled back

"Do you think you can maybe sleepover?" I asked her with a plan in my head

"Yesss! I'll call my mom, brb babe"

Babe, the small four letter word that I've chose to hate. She better not start calling me that now

"Guess who's sleeping over tonight?!" Jill walked back into the room with a huge smile on her face

"Yes! Okay let's get started" I said while laughing a bit

~*~*~*~*~
It was now seven pm and we were currently at the school dance. There were some girls dressed in decent summer dresses, some in jeans and a nice top like me, and most in slutty dresses.

I sighed and turned to where Jill was but saw that she wasn't there.
I looked around and saw her dancing with Dylan.

Damn, that's cold

I decided to go get a drink of punch. When I got to the snacks table I grabbed the last cookie there. Feeling like a champion I smiled to myself.

"Can we share?" I heard a boys-scratch that, a manly voice say.
I turned around to see a cute blonde boy with green eyes standing there.

Wait...who are you?

"And who are you?" I voiced my own thoughts.

"Oh I'm so sorry. My names Jacob. Jacob Collins. Umm..we had Art together for the whole year." he said awkwardly

After a few moments I than spoke.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. It's just that I don't know anyone in that class so I just pay attention. Gosh you probably think I'm a bitch." I said while shaking my head slightly.

His eyes widened slightly "Oh no no! I don't think you're a bitch. It's fine really." he said while laughing a bit

"Okay cool. Sorry I'm Elena." I extended my hand to him and he shook it.

"Yeah I know, we have class together." he said and sent a wink my way

That was cute wtf

"Umm so I'm really sorry I didn't-" I began but was cut of when I felt an arm around my waist.

I looked to see the arm on my waist and followed it up to the face.

Braylin

I squinted my eyes at him and opened my mouth to say something but he cut me off again

"Hey babe, what's going on here?" he asked me

Once again, as I was going to talk he started again

"Ou cookie." and than he lifted my hand and took a huge bite out of my cookie

"That's my cookie!" I yelled

"I'm sorry, are you two together or something?" Jacob asked

"No" I said at the same time Braylin said "Maybe."

I looked at Braylin and gave him a confused look.

"Oh well nice to finally meet you Elena. See you around Bray." Jacob said to me than to Braylin

After Jacob left I snapped at Braylin "What the hell are you doing? Why do you keep popping out of nowhere? Why did you call me babe? Why did he just call you Bray. And why are your arms still around me?!"

Braylin seemed to notice that he was still holding me and than let go but it was almost, hesitant?

"I'm saving you from that douche, I have telepathic powers, you are my babe, were on the same football team and that's my nickname, and my arms aren't around you anymore." he said in the same order and sent me a wink.

Okay that was hot
Ew, this is Braylin we're talking about!

I sighed "Where are you Jill?" I mumbled to myself

I began to walk away from Braylin not wanting to talk to him. I decided that I would just walk home and text Jill to meet me at the brick wall. Since school was a 10 minute walk to my house I planned on going home to change, grab my spray paints, and than head to 7th street.

I walked out of the school and put in my earphones to listen to music. The Neighbourhood was playing and I began singing along to Staying Up.

About 9 minutes later I got to my house. Seeing that no lights were on and no cars in the driveway, I figured my parents weren't home. I got in and quickly ran to my room to change and grab my things.

Less than 4 minutes I was back out the door. I than texted Jill.
I began my walk to 7th street which was pretty close.

That's if you call a 10 minute walk close

When I finally got to the brick wall I sighed and took out my earphones.

"Alone at last." I said to myself

I sat down on the tar road and looked at the 'mess' Jill and I have done to this wall. Before it was just a plain burgundy brick wall, but now it has our art on it.

I smiled in content and started to unzip the bag of spray paint. As I was doing so, I heard a wood snap. I quickly grabbed a spray paint bottle and aimed at where the sound was heard.

"If you fucking think that you can kidnap me, you're fucking wrong!" I yelled

All of a sudden I heard a boyish laugh. But this laugh didn't sound creepy, in fact, it sounded hysterical.

"Who the hell are you?!" I yelled out once again

When I still heard the person laughing I decided to threaten them

"I swear to god if you don't show yourself I will beat you up soo badly!" I was honestly getting scared

Finally the laughing finished and the person stepped out from behind the bushes Jill and I would hide behind if the cops ever came.

"Scoot into the light goddamnit!" I said since I couldn't see the face

The male stepped forward and I saw his face

"Braylin what the hell are you doing?! I thought you were a freaking killer!" I yelled out slightly

He began laughing and literally started rolling on the ground.

"That...was...so..fucking..." he hiccuped "hilarious!!" He finally finished.

I rolled my eyes "Whatever." than a thought hit me. "Did you....follow me?"

He stopped laughing and got up from the ground. "That was a long ass walk! I can't believe I followed you for 20 minutes!" he confessed and I was shocked.

"Well okay....what do you want?" I asked him getting straight to the point of why he followed me

"I want you to tell me who did that?" he asked me. All playfulness gone

I gulped "Umm..well you see-" I was cut off...again

"And don't lie." he said

"Fine, Jill and I came here a few days ago and we did this. You happy?" I told him as he was walking closer to where I was and the brick wall.

He seemed to be observing it. "Who did this one?" He asked pointing to the bed with thrones coming from beneath.

I gulped once again "Umm..." I paused and saw that he had a slight smile on his face. "I did that." I finished

It was silent for a moment until he spoke up again. "I like it."
