Twisted

Chapter 3

Scarlett's POV:

 The date had gone quicker then I had expected. Aaron was so sweet but, he just wasn't what I wanted. I like being single. I like how I don't have to worry about someone else. But, then again I'm probably just being me, scared. 

Hannah was waiting outside in her car so I got in quickly. 

"How was the date?" Hannah asked smiling ear to ear.

"It was okay." I stated looking down.

"Just okay! I need details." Hannah answered.

"I don't know. He's really sweet." I murmured. 

Hannah didn't push any further about the date. Probably because she knew I didn't want to talk about it. 

When we pulled up to my house I gathered all of my things, and got out of the car. I was tired, and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed with Buttons. 

When I got inside it was about--8:35 so my Grandma was already asleep. I tried not to make a sound so I didn't wake her up. But, failed in my attempt of doing so. Every step I made sounded as if an elephant was walking in my living room. I quickly scurried to my room, and jumped on my bed. 

As I jumped on my bed I heard paper crumbling under me. I got up and looked down to see a note. I picked it up and read it.

Note: Dear Scarlett, I stopped by your house, but your grandmother told me you went out for the night. So I was thinking you could meet me at the park tomorrow at 12:00 to work on the paper-Carter

As I read the name at the bottom my heart fluttered. I couldn't help but feel how much I truly liked him. I realized that Aaron wasn't the issue I just didn't want him because I wanted Carter. I wanted Carter to call me beautiful. I wanted his muscular arms to hug me as I fell asleep. But, then I realized that all of my wishes would never come true since he had Katie, and I was just another girl to him. 

I stopped daydreaming and put my pajamas on then went to bed. All of my feelings were to complicated so I tried my best to forget about it all and fall asleep. But, my mind kept going in circles revolving around Carter. I couldn't stop thinking and, that was the last thing I wanted to be doing. Until, I fell into a deep dream land with the one and only Carter. 

I woke up to the sound of Buttons purring on my chest. I jumped off of my bed without using the ladder, and ran to my bathroom. I took a quick shower, and all I could think about was Carter. It was as if his chocolate brown eyes were staring into me. I jumped out of the shower and blow dried my hair. Once it was completely dry I curled it into beach waves. After I was done with that I picked out my outfit which was a black and white stripped halter top which came up to my belly button, light washed high wasted shorts, and my black slip on vans. To finish my look I put on natural makeup.

Once I finished getting ready it was 10:45. So I decided to go to Starbucks. I grabbed my pastel blue and pink wheeled penny board and went to Starbucks. It is a nice day, but then again what do you expect it's California. I felt as if the wind was whispering Carters name, and I was floating on a cloud as I road my penny board to Starbucks. 

When I got to Starbucks it wasn't to crowded so I got in line and decided on what I was going to order. I was concentrated on the drink board when all of a sudden someone pushes into me. I fell to the floor, and the person that pushed me stood there waiting for me to get up. I pushed myself up from the ground, and dusted myself off. 

I came face to face with the person who pushed me, and it was the one and only Katie Crama. 

"Stay away from Carter. He's mine!" Katie spat in my face.
