Light in the hallway (scomiche) (boyxboy)

Home again

They were a few weeks away from finishing this year of college and they've already planned how summer vacation would be like. They would go to amusement parks and do bungee jumping and take silly pictures. Then drive to new places, and meet new people. Scott needed a brake from the CD store he began working on, and rent a whole bunch of movies and summer favorites. And the pool party they have planned for when it gets really warm and they need to go for a night swim. Just the thought of them doing all of those fun activities gets Scott more motivated to finish his studies. And since he's  studying music, his last grade would be based on this new Wizard of Oz project He's working on with Kirstie Kevin and Avi. 'Hopefully it turns out to be a good show and not a disaster. Though I doubt that would be the case.' He thought to himself.

"Would I look good as a blonde?" Kirstie asked touching the split ends of her side hair. Kirstie always had the constant need to change her hair color. But she looks good with anything in my opinion.

"Sure." Avi said making her push him slightly.

"Hey, I can pull it off."

"Yup. Sure." He repeated with a smile. Avi had been acting very playfully towards Kirstie for a while now, and me and Kevin had jumped into the conclusion that he may or may not like her like that. Which of course, I totally don't mind. Personally I think they would make a cute couple.

"Kirstie, how are those W.O.O themed cupcakes coming out?" I asked. We have been watching movies while waiting for her to finish baking the cupcakes to start frosting and decorating. But since they were already in the oven we've just been waiting for them to bake.

"They'll be done after a while, what do you guys want to do for the remaining of 15 minutes?" She asked with a smile as we all looked at each other. Neither of us had an idea of what to do with ourselves.

"We can finish watching The Lion King." Kevin suggested. But we've seen that movie only ten times already. It gets tiring after watching for the 3rd time. Let alone the tenth.

"Let's do something else, like play Monopoly!" Kirstie said. She really did love that game. But only because she always wins no matter what. Because if you cause her to lose her money, she gives you this look that makes you feel guilty, so she has to win either way.

"How about we play truth or dare!" Avi said, which actually sounded like a pretty entertaining idea, at the moment at least. "Who's going first?"

"I'll go." Kirstie began, "umm, Scott! Truth or dare?"

"Truth, because I don't feel like doing anything regretful." I explained earning a 'boo' from Avi.

"Okay, umm, who was your first kiss?" She asked with a sneaky smile on her face. Suddenly I thought back to when I was 12, and it was Mithch's birthday. He was so happy that day. I remember telling him I loved him. "Scott?"

"Oh..." How do I tell my friends my first kiss with with a kid that barely knew me yet I knew everything about him? How am I supposed to tell them he lives on the lake I always used to visit and that he doesn't know where the heck his parents are and that he was raised by stars. Hell, how am I supposed to tell them his only friends are stars, or that he wants to be a star when he dies? "I.. I've never been kissed... Before." 

"Aww, really?" 

"Really."

I was lost. Far away from home and far away from Scott. Desperately looking for someone to tell me where he is, but failing. I've been exposed to everyone and everything. But being in the outsides of the lake makes me feel alive. I've never seen other humans, and I didn't know they had other ways to transport other than just walking. But talking to any other human seemed much more harder than it was to talk to Scott. He was 8, and I was more shy and reserved. If I really want to find him, I'm gonna have to speak to other humans.
