Megan's POV
"Wow New Jersey is really different from Chicago.". Jason said as we started our sixth lap around the block. Well I think it's the sixth time I lost track.
"In a good way or a bad way?". I asked, hoping it was in a good way. but he gave me a wide smile that made me grin right back.
"What do you think?". He asked playfully.
"Well hopefully in a good way.". I raised my eyebrow at him and he laughed. He was a really easy audience. It was starting to get dark and I sighed.
"We better get back home soon huh?". He asked me in a sad voice. I nodded with a pouty look on my face.
"Can we hangout tomorrow?" I'm so grateful that I have off tomorrow. things are looking brighter.
"Of course we can I don't have work." I really have no idea if ill want to take back Herbie now...
"Awesome! Youll get to show me outside if the neighborhood too then.". I swear he sounded so excited about it but really he had no idea how excited I was.
"Ill show you all the best restaurants, and I've got to take you to our boardwalk. well it's in a different town that's like fifteen minutes away from here but all the locals hangout there almost every day in the spring and summer time.". I realized I started rambling away so I shut my mouth.
"Awesome. You have you're license then I'm thinking right?". He asked sarcastically. I just laughed.
"Yes I do have my license.".
"Alright, if you don't mind pick me up tomorrow say around one?". I smiled, wanting to do a happy dance, but figured I should wait for him to have to see that. No one should get that scared of someone right away. it's not right. We started walking back to my house and then when we got there he gave me a hug. I love hugs and I know a good hug from a bad hug. Jason gives awesome hugs. I took a deep breath of his cologne trying to smell it quietly so he wouldn't tell. I really want to know if he has a girlfriend but ill have to wait to find out tomorrow.
"See you tomorrow?". He asked me before I unlocked the front door.
"See you tomorrow.". I smiled to myself the whole way I walked up the stairs to my room. I got changed into my comfy pajamas and went into my bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I was finally done with that, I checked the time on my alarm clock and saw that it was almost ten.
I called my step mom asking her if it was okay if Jason and I could hang out a while longer and she actually said yes. Which is pretty crazy considering its her. Shes very serious when it comes to curfews
I have a feeling I'm not going to get much sleep tonight because I'm so excited tomorrow. I have a whole plan made already and I'm praying we won't run into Herbie. I shut my eyes and let my head fall on my pillow hoping for a good nights sleep.
Of course, I woke up a couple of hours later, gasping and I felt my head which was moist. I remember waking up freaked out but I'm trying to figure out what the dream I had was.
I think it had something to do with Herbie actually. and it wasn't a good dream either it was a nightmare, but I can't think of the details clearly enough. I forced myself to go back to sleep and eventually I did, praying that I won't have any more crazy dreams.
Finally the next time that I ended up looking at the alarm clock it said it was almost eleven. I guess i finally did get some sleep. I yawned and stretched my arms, trying to get myself awake. I willed myself to get up and that's when I remembered that I was seeing Jason today. I know I'm going to take him to the boardwalk because if you're going to live here, you've got to hang out at the boardwalk. that's what we do here, hangout by the ocean.
I opened my drawers deciding on what to wear today. I finally settled on light jeans and a light blue shirt with long sleeves since its still fall and a little chilly. I'm probably going to end up bringing a sweatshirt too. Honestly I love fall, I love being able to wear long jeans and sweat pants, hoodies, sweatshirts ect. summer is amazing too obviously but there's just something about the fall that gets me so excited and happy. ill like it even more once I get out of High School. After I finally got dressed I decided to put on some light brown eyeshadow to make my brown eyes stand out. I only put a little bit on just to keep natural and so Jason doesn't think I'm being totally obvious that I like him. I looked at the clock again and It said I still have one more hour. I sighed and when I accepted that I had nothing else to do I went downstairs and turned on the T.V. for a bit. That's when Riley finally came downstairs to join me and we sat in silence for awhile watching The weather channel because there was really nothing else on.
"Tornados really freak me out.". Said Riley, trying to break the awkward silence.
"All natural disasters freak me out.". I responded. I literally have a deathly fear of natural disasters but the one I'm most terrified of is tsunamis. the commercial came on and I got up to make some brunch since it wasn't morning anymore.
"Eggs?". I asked him.
"Sure. scrambled please.". I got four eggs from the egg carton. Two for me and two for him. I poured them into a high level bowl, got the milk out mixed it all good and turned on the stove. after a couple of minutes it finally felt hot enough to pour in the eggs with the milk mixed in to them. It made a sizzling noise as I poured the eggs in to the pan.
"Why do you look all dressed up today?". Riley asked, with a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes as I took my favorite spatula and started flipping the eggs around as the started getting ready.
"No reason.". I said only focusing on the eggs.
"Are you hanging out with Jason today?". He asked in a obnoxious baby voice.
"Yes. that's all I'm giving you. it's really none of you're damn business. Here's you're eggs.". I said as I handed him a plate of the steaming hot eggs. they looked yummy though.
after he was taken care of I got myself eggs ready. My step mom and dad both sleeps in really late so I'm usually the one that makes breakfast and dinner most of the time too. when I was finished eating my eggs I settled back on the couch and flipped around the channels until I heard a door bell ring.
"Be out in a minute!" I yelled as I ran over by the stairs to put my flip flops on. I grabbed my little change purse, with my keys and took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Hey.". Jason said smiling at me.
"Hi. Ready for our adventure today?" I asked smiling back at him.
"Yes, I am. what's the first stop?"
"I need to take you to our boardwalk. it's in a different town though that's called Point Pleasant.". He nodded, looking excited.
"I've heard of it. I've always wanted to go there.". I smiled at him. it seems like I always do that when I'm with him.
"Well you're going to see it today.". We walked to my car and I ordered him to put his seat belt on. when I was sure he did I backed out of my driveway and went in the direction of point. after about fifteen minutes of driving I finally got there. it took us a couple more minutes trying to find a parking spot but I'd rather park far and for free rather then having to pay. We walked up the ramp to the boardwalk in silence until I noticed Herbie walking towards us. With a girl. I felt my heart drop to my stomach...What was he doing?!
With my luck he saw us and he gave me a evil grin. The girl he was with was tall, skinny, blond hair, blue eyes, and had much more confidence then me. and she saw Jason and gave him a flirtatiously smile. I sighed, wanting to go home and cry but also not wanting to let this bitch ruin my day.
"Hey guys!". Herbie said as if everything was alright. I felt Jason hold my hand and squeezed it.
"Hi! Who's this?". I asked with a happy smile on my face.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys. This is my girlfriend Jackie.". What the fuck do I do now?
