[09]

I looked around the dusty road, I think of something to say and try not to hurt Ariana's feelings.

"Um, why exactly did you bring me here?"

"Because this is my place, the place where I grew up. Not the best place to grow up, but it's special to me. Now come on." She held out her hand which I gladly accept.

She pulled me into the road with sand leading behind us as we ran. After two minutes of looking around the old suburban road we arrive in front of a small house.

She rang the door bell and I, still confused with what was happening, waited. Until a big figure of a man around his twenties opens the door.

"Ari, is that you?"

"No it's Gandalf, let us in dumbass." She pushed the door without hesitation and plops down to the nearest sofa.

"Who's he?" the long haired dude pointed at me. "Oh yeah." Ariana stands back up from her position.

"Do you have fireworks?"

"Who do you think I am? Of course I do." the guy went to the next room and before you know it he was back with a huge brown box labeled 'explosives'.

"Perfect, come on Luke." Ariana grabbed the box of explosives and gestured me to go outside.

"Okay I'm so confuse. One, who the fuck is he? Two, why do you need explosives? And three, why did you bring me here? It's getting late and-" she cut me of mid-sentence.

"One, his my fuck buddy." She smirks but then bursts out laughing. "No but seriously I'm really good friends with him he was there for me when I needed him."

"For what? Like drugs or something?" I shrugged. "You know your a jerk, nit every person who wears black, or smokes is 'bad'. They might be going through something, and smoking is there only friend, so stop being so fucking judgemental." I instantly take what I said back and stayed silent.

"Anyway, I'm gonna show you how to live. You know get your blood flowing, your heart beating faster. Something like that." She stops in front of a old camp site. She places the box near the sign and takes out a lighter.

"Get one, come on. This ain't Girl Scout." I walked over to the box and pull out one firework.

"Now light it." She smirks. I light the firework that made a crackling sound which made me jump with fear. "Cool right?" Ariana shouts over all the crackling.

"Yeah, I've never played with fireworks before." Her eyes widen. "Seriously never? What did you do when you were a kid?"

"I read books and played at the garden, like a normal kid?"  Luke says focusing on his firework. "Watch out the fireworks coming!" He ran over to me as his attempt to scare me.

"Haha very funny." I turn around to see a eight legged insect. Which made me fall back into Luke. By now we were face to face, I moved my face out of Luke's hot breath and stood up.

"Sorry." We both apologised in unison.

"Hey do you wanna get some food? It's getting late." Luke suggested over the awkward silence. "Yeah totally, I'm just gonna drop the explosives in front of Chase's door." I carry the explosive and begin walking away.

"Here let me help you." I took the box of her grasp as we walk in silence.

"I had a good time today, who knew playing with dangerous things could be so much fun?" I laughed.

"Well I did? That's why I showed it to you." She rolled her eyes. "Oh and don't forget we have to be at the auditorium by 10 am tomorrow for Romeo & Juliet." I reminded her.

"How could I forget? So goodbye?" I nodded as our bodies moved closer, I felt her hot breath on my neck. Our lips got closer.

"Oh honey your back." My moms voice echoes through the door. We moved away from each other and stood awkwardly.

"Um, bye I guess." I bid Ariana goodbye and went inside.

I might be falling for her.
