Opposites Attract My Ass

Nueve! (9)

It was still night, but I guess it was technically morning. It was 3:00 and we were all sleepy. I learned that Holden starts to get a little flirty when he's tired.


"Hey, babe. How you doin'?" he asked me, putting an arm around my shoulder.


I pushed his arm off and said, "I'm doing the same as when you asked me five minutes ago, idiot."


As you might have noticed, I get irritated. Tori gets loopier than usual and Tray... well, he just falls asleep. I looked over at Tray to see him asleep on his sleeping bag. I rolled my eyes. He's always the first to go to sleep. I guess that's what happens when you're younger... even though there's not much of an age difference.


We were watching Disturbia with all of the lights on, since Holden kept coming closer to me when it was dark. Tori screamed when Kale was trying to ruin Ashley's party.


"Tori! The movie isn't scary yet!" I said.


Tori giggled. "Yeah, but the girl's acting is."


Holden laughed and put his face in my neck, which made me push him onto the floor. He looked up surprised.


"What just happened?"


It's as if we were drunk.


"I dunno. I think a tornado just ripped through the house."


Holden looked around. "Really? Whoa."


I nodded my head. I looked over at Tori to see her asleep on the futon.


Holden's eyes keep drooping, but he stayed awake. I put his head on the floor and gave him his sleeping bag. I rolled onto my bed and almost fell asleep. I was alerted when I felt the space next to me dip. I knew it was Holden and tried pushing him, but I was really tired and it felt like he weighed five million tons so I just let him stay there.


For now.


In the morning, I'm pushing his ass off of the bed.


******                                                                          ******


When I woke up the next morning, Holden's arm was on me. His leg was on me too. I lifted my head and saw that his limbs were splayed out. I sighed heavily and pushed him off. When I heard the thump, I closed my eyes and pretended that I was asleep. I thought Holden would get up, but I heard no movements. I waited a little bit longer before peeking over to where he fell. But there was one problem.


He wasn't there.


"The fuck?"


"Boo!"


I screamed bloody murder and put a hand against my chest. My scream woke up Tray, who screamed also, and Tori, who seemed dazed and then screamed unenthusiastically. I glared at Holden, who was laughing hysterically.


I threw a pillow at him and muttered, "Jerk."


"I'm a jerk? I'm not the one who pushed me off of the bed."


My dad, who has had yet to make an appearance in this story, rushed into my room with a bat.


"What's going on?" he yelled, frantically looking around.


"Nothing," I said, hitting Holden with another pillow. "I thought I saw a spider."


"And why did Tray scream?"


"Because he's a girl," I replied. My head tilted to the side from getting hit with a pillow. "He throws like one too." I moved back and let the pillow hit Holden. 

Dad groaned and walked away, muttering under his breath. Tori groaned and rushed up, going to the bathroom across the hall.

"So Ollie, did you enjoy sleeping next to me?" Holden asked.

I expected Tray to say something, but he was asleep.

"I think you're the most obnoxious person on the planet," I said.

"Well that's just silly. Have you met everyone on the planet?"

I stared at Holden.

He is going to drive me crazy.

This is my favorite story. If you read my other stories, I'll update the hero one when it reaches 139 (I like to challenge myself) and I don't think I'll update the amnesia story anytime soon.

Do whatever you want with this story (rate or message).

Until next time, my dinosaurs.
