Pet Boy

Wild Emotions

We all got into our stances and began playing. None of us have actually played water polo before so we free styled it. For some reason the three boys were really competitive. Even though we were on the same team it was as if they were competing with each other.

I watched as they kept hitting the ball forcefully. I stood there unsure of what to do. After about fifteen minutes they decided to take a break. "Ellie everyone want to go to the little pizza shop across the street. would you like to come with us?" Jake said as he threw a towel over his shoulder.

The sun beat down on him, sweat dripping from his neck. "She can't we are going to a smoothie shop." Aron said approaching me as he dried his hair off. Royce followed behind him and then stood next to me. Although Royce was a cat he seemed to be fine with water and didn't even bother drying off. I glanced over at him dripping wet. Wow. You don't know how happy I am that I came here today.

"That's to bad I really waned to hang out with you guys." Jake said sadly looking towards the ground. There was something depressing when he did that. It felt like I had made a child sad. "If you would like to, you can come with us." I said smiling at him. His face instantly became happy and he looked up at me with sparkling hazel eyes. Royce and Aron froze and looked at me then each other. Did I do something wrong? Why do they seem mad? No they don't seem mad its more like disappointed or irritated.

Just then a group of girls came up to the boys glaring at me as they passed. They began leaning on the guys and grabbing their arms, begging them to go with them to the pizza place. They stood there trying to think of a nice way to deny them. Jealousy burned inside me. I didn't like this feeling. I quickly pushed my way through the group of girls and walked away. I didn't know where I was planning to go, but I knew I didn't want to stay here.

I scurried out the front gate deciding to just go to the smoothie shop by myself. I glanced behind me to see if any of them had followed me. There was nobody behind me, no one noticed that I had left. a sharp pain stabbed me in the chest. what was I expecting? To turn around and see them running towards me? Of course not. I felt depressed and decided to just go home.

As I entered the house it was cold and lonely. I slumped my way to the bedroom and changed into a small tank top and put sweat pants on. I just want to go to sleep and pretend that this day never happened. I pulled my blankets over me as I snuggled into bed trying to get warm.

Was it always this cold? I hadn't noticed because Royce and Aron always sleep with me, I was always warm. I began drifting off into a sleep. Everything just didn't feel right. In the short time that I had known them I realized that I had also became attached to them. They filled the lonely gap that was inside me. They have became my precious friends that I didn't want to lose. I began to wonder how they felt about me. does Royce only see me as a hide out to protect his family? Does Aron only see me as a test subject that he must keep an eye on? Was this friendship that I told myself we had even real? A tear slid down my face landing on my pillow. I should make new friends. Real ones that don't change into animals.

I woke up to a knock on the door. I quickly got up and opened it. As soon as it opened Jake through his arms around me hugging me tightly. He was panting as if he ran around a lot. "thank goodness your safe" he said trying to catch his breath.

I could feel his hard chest as he breathed in and out. He laid his head on my shoulder and his hair fell over onto me. "did you find her?" Aron and Royce exclaimed running this way. Jake gently let me go and took a step back smiling. Royce stuck to me crying and saying sorry while Aron started to yell at me lecturing me about not going places on my own. I started to laugh. What was I worried about obviously they cared. I'm fine with how things are as long as i'm needed, as long as I'm wanted.
