Escaping The Mask

Chapter 2: Faulting The Stars

We planned a date and time to go to my house. I was glad to have company for Saturday, because I would have been bombarded with sleepover invites if I wasn't busy. They would come to my house tonight.

The rest of the day went by fast, but it wasn't as interesting as Science.

After school, I got my driver to pick me up. "Ty! Junny! C'mon get in the car, my house, remember?"

Ty didn't mind jumping in the car with his sweaty body and dirty soles after soccer practice. I was used to his filth. Oh well, dirty car it is.

But Junny was, well, awkward. He slowly walked towards the car, then grabbed a towel and placed it on the seat so he would not get anything dirty. He removed his beanie and put it in his bag, then awkwardly just sat there.

I had cheerleading practice, and then gymnastics tryouts, so every inch of my body was aching. But as I usually do when I'm tired, I rested my head on Ty's shoulders. Then I regretted it because he smelled like crap.

I looked at him and said "Bitch, ever heard of deodorant?"

"Babe, I know you love me, but sniffing me is kinda just creepy." He replied.

Junny shifted uncomfortably and just sat there as Ty and I bickered at each other playfully during the car ride to my house. We arrived, and got out of the car to do random things at my house.

Later, when we reached it was almost sunset, I decided it was perfect to make s'mores. So I grabbed my bag of marshmallows and made a small bonfire so that we don't freeze to death, because we were gonna be sleeping here tonight. We were going to be watching the stars, sorry, I mean "observing" them.

I set up the camera, telescope and my laptop next to it to research about any patterns we see. We also had to observe how often we saw shooting stars, so there was a white board which had a big fat zero written all over it.

Later on, me, Junny and Ty just sat around the bonfire. We played truth or dare and laughed our guts out when Ty and Junny were dared to sing (and act out) "I kissed a boy and I liked it" (Katy Perry's parodies are always amazing) or when I was dared to make a snowman out of the marshmallows are basically makeout with it while singing "Do you wanna Build a Snowman?". We ate s'mores during the truth or dares, and it got messy real quick.

"Ty, Junny, get rid of the chairs. We need to lie down if we wanna see the stars, I'll get the pizza!" I screamed.

Both Junny and Ty laughed, and saluted me, military style. "Yes sir!"

I grabbed the pizza, put down a picnic cloth on the ground, and tried to see if there were any stars that showed up.

A shiver went up my spine while a cold wind blew. Ty sat next to me, so I stole the jacket he was wearing.

"Wtf? Give me my jacket back!!" Tyler screeched.

"Boys are supposed to give their jackets to girls, it's a rule in courtesy!" I said.

"Yeah, and girls are supposed to clean and cook. Oh wait, it's not the 60's, is it? So give me my jacket back!" Tyler said with a childlike tone.

I just laughed and said "Fine, compromise, you get half, I get half. You 'kay with that?"

He is my guy bff, if it was any other guy, I would be awkward, but here I thought of it as if he was my brother.

Junny came in with a tray filled with blue sofa and pink lemonade. I screamed, ran to him and pulled out the bottle of blue soda.

I stared at him straight in the eye. "HOW, and where did you get this from?!?!" I asked, practically shouting in his ear.

He froze and said, "From my bag?"
