The Summer Fling

The Party

6:00pm it read as I checked my phone.
I got out of my car and walked up to my friend, Anthe. It was her brother Lucas' birthday party, he was turning 5 years old today. There was balloons, music, and a bouncy castle. Anthe and I started walking toward the pond, chatting girl talk of course. As we were talking two boys come up to us. They were both cousins, one of them was named clayton, the other was named Jonathan. They were the same age as me, 13, my friend Anthe is 14. We met each other 2 years before, but we haven't seen each other for a long time.
They both looked so different, puberty really hit them like a bus. They'd always annoy us while we played with dolls. And now they're muscular and have nice hair cuts and more mature, but I'd never EVER be attracted to them, or so I thought. 😂😂😂

A couple hours passed, I was sitting on anthe's bed flipping through her yearbook with her aunt Kamisha who is 17, she saw everyone bored so she dragged us outside to play a game of man hunt. After man hunt was over, we began to eat. Clayton, Jonathan, Anthe, and I were eating outside on lawn chairs. It was very quiet until Kamisha put on music and started to whip and nae nae. We laughed watching her be stupid and have fun dancing. At some point Anthe and clayton went to get something, so, it was just me and Jonathan.
"You have nice eyes." He complimented me.
"Thanks." I replied.
He got up and sat beside me and started to ask me questions about myself.
"So, what do you do?" I ask him.
"I play baseball with clayton." He responds.
"Nice." I added.
Clayton and Anthe come back and she pulls me up and whispers to me.
"why was he sitting so close to you?" She laughs.
"Oh he was just asking me stuff."
"Oh" she says.
"Well I wanna go for a walk, who's down?" I ask.
"Sure I'll come, you coming Johnny?" Clayton asks.
"Nah, I'll stay here." He says.
"Okay, bye" we all say as Jonathan sits on his phone. 

As we walk clayton and Anthe started talking while leaving me out. I was sorta feeling left out, but, why? Him and I barely talk, and we don't really have anything to talk about.
"So Jonathan told me you guys play baseball together?" I carry on a conversation.
"Uh yeah, him and I play the same team, I'm number seven." He answered
"Oh cool, I love the number 7." I say intrigued.
"Seriously? Why?" He asks me.
"Because Cristiano Ronaldo, number 7, he's my favourite." I answer.
"Same gurl." He smiles at me. I smiled back but then he started talking to Anthe again.
"I'm gonna go back, I don't wanna leave Jonathan alone." I say.
"Mhmm okay.." Anthe says giving me the eyes.
Clayton waved goodbye and laughed.

"Hey!" I shout to Jonathan.
"Hey Kayla." He smiled at me coming down the steps.
"I ditched them for you, you should be feeling special." I laugh as he walks with me to the front yard.
"Haha, I feel quite special." He says smiling at me.
"Wanna go inside, there's so much bugs!" I say scratching my arm.
"Sure." He holds my hand and we walk inside and sit on the sofa. We sat cozy watching spongebob, and making small talk.

*Minutes later*

Clayton and Anthe walk in and see us watching spongebob and they laugh.
"Move." Clayton says squeezing in between Jonathan and I.
I roll my eyes, him and I were having fun until clayton came.
"Sup b?" He smiles at me.
"I'm not your b." I say continuing to watch spongebob.
"Damn girl, that hurt my feelings." He laughs.
"Leave her alone clayton." Jonathan laughs.
I get up and pull Anthe to her room.
"They're annoying." I say laughing.
"Yeah I know, I see them a lot, see my pain!" She remarks.

*Hours later*

We get called to go to the bonfire and make s'mores.
Jonathan and Clayton were fooling around as usual, and started throwing the marshmallows in the fire.
"Idiots!" I shout at them.
"Sassy bitch." Clayton murmurs but I heard him.
"Excuse me?" I shout insulted.
"Nothing.." He giggled.
"Dude he called you a sassy bitch." Jonathan laughs.
"Yeah I heard him, asshole." I walk away.
I went inside and as I walked pass Teyshawn (my sister's boyfriend) and my sister, he says something to me.
"Mm Kayla you talking to the boys haha." He laughs.
"Ew no, they're annoying." I laugh.
"Haha tey." Shanika (my sister) giggles.
I go back outside and sit under a tree pondering.
Clayton comes up behind me and sits beside me.
"Hi." He smiles at me.
"Hey."
"What are you doing?" He asks me.
"Nothing I'm bored."
"Same, I wanted to ask you something."
"Alright.." I smile at him.
"Can I have your iMessage?" He asks me.
"Okay." I put my contact in his phone and give it back to him
"Done" I say smiling.
"Thanks, I wanna keep in touch."
"Okay." I say getting up.
"You don't seem like a bitch now."
"You don't seem like an asshole now."
We smile at each other.

*hours pass*
10:00pm
Anthe pulls me into her room and locks it with Jonathan and Clayton.
"What are you doing?"
"SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN!" Clayton shouts.
"Shit." I whisper.
She puts a bandana over my eyes and put me in the closet first.
I hear the door creak open and some giggling.
"Who is this?" I laugh.
Idk who it was but he held my hand and took off my bandana and gave me the hint to fake it. It was dark I couldn't tell who it was. We started to make kissy sounds and stuff until our turn was done. I came out and stood in shock. It was Clayton....
Few minutes pass and it was time to leave.

When I got home I got a bunch of texts from Jonathan and Clayton.
C- hey
K- hi
C-Jonathan likes you
K- seriously
C- yeah
K- Oh ok
C- do you like him?
K- y would I tell u?
C-fine be like that
K-bye I'm talking to Jonathan.
C- FaceTime us

**facetime call**
Wow that was amazing, Clayton is funny, but Jonathan likes me? Weird. I like him as a friend. I'll text him in the morning about it. I'm too tired to do it now.
