Amanda an Rose finally finished unpacking for their room. They had their beds across from each other, night stands by the beds, in the middle of the back wall, was their dressers, with a mini fridge on top, with a trashcan next to it. The girls split the room in half, the left half was Rose's an the right was Amanda's. On Rose's side, she had a little desk which was already piled with papers, an books. She had a shelf right above the desk that was overflowing with books. With a tiny little lamp on the edge of the desk, that lights up only that little area so it won't interrupt Amanda.
On Amanda's side of the room, she had a bigger desk than Rose's, which she had personally painted black, with a white lamp on top of the desk, which was in the far back of it. Above the desk, she had a little shelf that was filled with her own written books an songs. Next to the desk, was Amanda's bed. On the other side of the bed, was her nightstand. Above the nightstand, Amanda had her guitar holder that was holding a red an black electric guitar. Next to that guitar, was a plain wooden acoustic guitar. Their bed's were just plain white, with white sheets.
"Dad an mom are going out to go an do a little bit of house shopping, including for bed sheets. I'm going with, wanna come?" Rose says in such a sweet voice. Amanda checks the time. 4:23.
"No, sorry I'll have to pass, but, pick me out some good bed sheets." Amanda says as she pulls out a red tank top, an grey pants.
"Whaaat? fine. Butthead." Rose leaves as Amanda starts to change. When she finishes, she puts on her knee high black converse an pulls on her green hoodie. She gets a text.
:Zack:- Yooou reeaaaddyyy?
:Amanda:- Haha, yeah, I am. Aree yoou?
:Zack:- You bet. I'm already on my way, I live kinda far.
:Amanda:- Ha, well, I'll see you there.
Amanda walks out, making sure everyone was gone, an starts walking towards where she met the boy last night.
'What am I doing? This boy could kill me for all I know. This boy could be a serial killer! Out of all places to meet someone, the woods? That's crazy. Mom would never approve of this, she'd kill me. Though, what have I got to lose?' Amanda continued to think, she reached the creek finally. She pulls out her phone to see a text.
:Kyle:- Hey, how do you like the new home? Any friends yet? How's the country?
Amanda ignored the text an looked at the time. 5:07. As she looks up she hears footsteps, before she could turn around, she felt two arms hug her from behind.
"Don't get scared, it's only me" The familiar voice made a smile creep onto her face.
"Lucky I didn't attack." she lightly laughed as he let go of her, he sat down on the log. "Why do you even come so far to this creek anyway?" Amanda sat down next to Zack.
"I come here to get away from everyone, everything. It's peaceful here. It's calming to listen to the wild blow, the birds singing their songs" he looks up at the trees.
"sorry I came along then, wasn't my intention." Amanda looked in the other direction. Zack laughed lightly.
"Don't say that. It can get lonely here, so I'm glad you came around, I finally have a friend. What brings a girl like you around the country anyway?" the boy looked at the girl, as he took his white hoodie off, showing his black shirt. He was wearing all black today.
"Well, I lived in the city, hundreds of friends, I was happy with my life. Soo happy, like I told you yesterday, about my parents an my best friend's parents, they wanted to move. Or well, at least Kim, Rose's mother. She moved into her sisters house, when she came up missing. That's when the crazy boy Rain came along, apparently they talked and played this all out. So I would see him 'again'. But, to be honest here... I hate it all here. I hate living here. I want to go back home, in the city, where my friends are. I don't tell anyone about my hate towards moving here, because I know it won't do any good. Buuuut, I'll be 18 in two years. I'll probably move back. At least I've made one friend though. He's pretty cool." she muttered out, lightly punching Zack in the shoulder.
"So you're 16 huh?" Amanda nodded. "I'm 18." Amanda laid her head on his shoulder. They talked for hours.
:Rose:-Where are you?
"whooops... I gotta get going, it's 9:52" Amanda stated a little panicked.
"I'll walk you home, if you'd like. Incase the crazied boy, Rain, comes along" they both shared a laugh as they stood up an started walking.
:Rose:- Hellooooo? Is anyone hooome?
:Amanda:- Yeah yeah, I'm on my way.
After 45 minutes of walking an talking, they made it to the shed.
"You live in a shed?" Zack said with a hint of confusion in his deep voice.
"Uh.. In the long run, yeah...Wanna come in an meet Rose?" Amanda had a half smile on her face. Zack shrugged an Amanda grabbed him by the hood, pulling him inside.
"Amaaa!" Rose flew up from her bed again an went to hug Amanda, but stopped, noticing the man she was pulling. "We don't about this Ama, no pets." Rose laughed.
"Rose, this is Zack. Zack, this is Rose, the girl I was telling you about." Amanda let go of Zack, an he shook hands with Rose.
"So, you're this man that Ama has been talking to, that makes her smile every time she looks at her phone." Amanda's face went red, as Rose an Zack laughed lightly.
"S-s-shut up." Amanda face planted into her pillow. Zack walked over to her an hugged her from behind while she was still facing the pillow.
"Well, I best be off, before my family starts worrying. I'll text you later, Ama" he mocked her nickname, attempting to sound like Rose. They both laughed as Amanda threw a pillow at a random direction an hit Rose. As she lifts up, Rose runs over to her an sits on her.
"Bye!" Amanda muffles from the pillows as she hears the door open. It soon shut after a little laugh came from Zack.
"He's cute." Rose said, getting off Amanda after a little bit. Amanda sat up, an sat on the edge of her bed.
"He is. In some ways, I'm kinda glad we came out here. I am glad I met him." Just as those words slipped her lips, she got a text.
:Zack:-Well, that was fun.
:Amanda:- You mean me turning into a Christmas tree?
:Zack:- Hey, it's okay, I do the same.
:Amanda:- Well then.. Thanks for tonight, it was actually really fun. Hope we can do something like this again.
As Amanda sat her phone down on the bed, she walked over to the mini fridge an pulled out a water bottled an took a drink. There was a knock on the door.
"Come iiin~" Rose said happily. Amanda turned around an saw Rain walking inside the shed.
"I see you met Zack." Rain seemed quite upset.
