Johnny Diaries

Chapter 2

He was mysterious, not providing much information about himself, so all I could appreciate about him were his glowing looks and courageous personality.  Sure, I'd seen attractive boys at these lodges before, not sharing anything but a few glances.  But I never knew someone my age- a boy, for that matter- could have such finesse in approaching a girl.  Maybe twelve is the new sixteen. 

"Where are we going?"  I asked, giggling as I trotted behind him.  

"You see, Avery Wyatt,"  he said, keeping his eyes focused ahead of him, "I had a feeling that something like this was going to happen."

"What do you mean?"  I asked, deciding not to to tell him yet that I had had the same sensation.  

"I knew something was going to be different this year, and god damn, I was right!"  Johnny smirked, leading me down a hallway just off of the kitchen area.  I admired his sexy language, not used to hearing cuss words at my school back in Toronto.  

"So... where are we going?"  I tried not to sound too interested, but felt inside that this was going to get good.  

"You'll see... it'll be a fun place to hang out."  Johnny looked back at me, smiling.  I felt a small tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach.  I wondered what it was, for it was a feeling I had never experienced before.  Eventually, I followed him down a small set of stairs. These stairs were ones I hadn't noticed before, which surprised me, because I thought I had been to every nook and cranny of the ski resort.  

"Okay, close your eyes."  Johnny told me once we reached the bottom of the stairs.  We faced a door, one that looked heavy and was padlocked shut.  Getting a bit nervous now, I closed my eyes.  I heard rustling noises, the distinct sound of the padlock being opened, and the creaky sound of the door being opened.  Johnny took my hand, ordering me firmly to keep my eyes shut.  Once we had completely entered the room, he told me to open them.  When I did, I was surrounded by complete darkness.  

Just then, I heard a click, and the room lit up instantly.  I realized what was around me.  Chains, whips, and other objects that I didn't want to know what did.  

"J-Johnny?"  I asked, looking at him.

"Yeah, baby."  He smirked, flipping his hair to the side in one swift motion.  He lunged for me, pinning me against the wall and sticking his tongue down my throat.  I struggled under his grasp, then eventually gave in.  I let it all happen.  Yeah, that's right... I made out with a BOY.

I guess twelve really is the new sixteen.
