Chapter Eighteen: Is It Everyone's Goal to Embarrass Me?

(Edited)

"Wait Zel, you did what?" Luke asked, laughing.

   Blushing, I replied, "I snuck out of my bedroom window ad then my dog saw me and started barking and chasing me. She almost got me caught. And I didn't have time to open the gate lock, so I ended up jumping the gate fence. And I had to go through all of that just to go to my first high school party and it definitely wasn't my last."
   "Yup. Miss Thing over here was quite the party girl. She'd be on the dance floor all night long. Bumping and grinding and twerking."
   "Yeah, but that was before they had names. And plus, you are it sound like I was drinking and smoking and making out and stuff."
   "That's true. When you weren't dancing, you were pretty boring. She refused to drink or smoke. She only went out on Fridays and Saturdays. And she'd force me to go back home before midnight."
   "Sorry I didn't want to be dragged away by the police and have it show up on my permanent record?
    "You should be," she said, playfully scowling at me.
    "Seems like you had very memorable teenage years." Ashton commented.
    "Eh. Kinda. I spent most of those years studying night after night. I kinda wish I had spent a little less time studying and prepping for finals, and more time making memories."
    "She was the lame teacher's pet that knew all the answers and worshiped her notes like it was her Bible." Spence replied.
    "Yes, and you were that rebel without a cause who sat in the back of the class, made sly remarks, and was always getting in trouble because you couldn't keep your mouth shut." I mentioned.
    "Yeah, but you were the teacher's pet so you got me out of trouble."

"Yes I did. Who knows where you'd be if I wasn't there?"

"Jail. Ooh, maybe it would be like Orange is the New Black."

"Doubtful."

...

    "I don't know what's awkwarder, 21 year old Zel, or 13 yer old Zel?" Spencer groaned.
    "Awkward 13 year old Zel you say?" Michael asked.
    "I'm pretty sure everyone was awkward at the age of 13." I grumbled.
    "I actually think I have old videos." Spencer said.
    "You do?" I asked.
    "Remember when my mom bought me a video camera and I recorded almost everything for like a year."
    "Oh that's right. They're on your computer aren't they?"
    "Yes and luckily, I left my computer here last week. I'll hook it up to the TV." Spencer said.
    Scooching closer to Luke, I put my head on his shoulder and took a deep breath, breathing in his scent. And if you're wondering, he has a good smell that smells faintly like strawberry shampoo. He kissed my forehead and placed his hand near my knee, rubbing shapes and incoherent words and phrases onto the fabric of my jeans.
    "Aha! I did it! I am the supreme lord of awesomeness, all peasants, bow down to me!"
    "Spence, all you did was put plug into the TV. A ten year old could have done that." I replied, rolling my eyes.
    "Stop ruining my fun." Spencer pouted.
    "Sorry?" I replied.
    "Good," she replied, pressing play.

    The first thing that showed up was my 13 year old face.
"Is it on?" 13 year old me asked.
    "Yup, it's recording." 13 year old Spencer replied, behind the camera.
    I stuck my tongue out and said, "Hello future us. It's Zelina Rosario."
    "I'm pretty sure the people watching this know that. It's probably just future us watching this. They're probably laughing about how stupid we are and considering it's the future, they're probably watching this through a futuristic headset like in Back to the Future 2."
    "Pfft, it's been like eight years and they only thing we have close to that is the Oculus Rift." I muttered.
"Nah, I think they'll watch it through chips in their head."
    "Meh, you never know. Maybe this new President Obama will invent them."

    "Wow, we didn't really understand politics or the actual jobs of the president back then." I commented.
    "Heck, I still don't know what exactly they do."
    "Well that's because you pay no attention to the world around you."
    "I would argue, but you're right."
    "Of course I am."
