YOUR DENIM JACKET // Dinger Holfield

"No! Please don't hurt me!" I screamed at the beast that was about to grab me as I was running through a forest.

The beast growled as it stomped it's way to me. Just before it could grab the end of my long beautiful dress I was swooped off the ground.

I screamed for help until I looked up in front of me and saw a shirtless Johnny Depp saving me.

"Oh Johnny, how am I ever going to repay you?" I held onto him as his sparkling brown eyes glared into mine.

He started to lean towards me about to kiss me until he said something. "Oh, Elle...Wake up!"

??? What.

"Elle Ryans! Wake up!"

I jumped, rubbing my eyes to only see standing in front of me a mean fat teacher wearing way too much blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. Oh and about 20 some other kids staring at me then bursting out lauging seconds later.

I could feel my face turn red with embarrassment, but instead of slouching back in my chair and pout, I stood up and started to walk towards the door until I was stopped.

"Ryans, where do you think you're going?"

"I need to collect my thoughts." I turned around and told her in an annoyed voice.

I opened the door and was just about to walk out until, "Oh Johnny."

I turned around to see Richard Davidson, the annoying jock, making kissy noises with his mouth as I just rolled my eyes so far back that I could actually see how annoyed I was.

"Wait, you know what Davidson, I got you something." I crossed my arms then pulled out my one hand flipping him off. "Enjoy." I lastly said as I turned back around leaving the room with a smirk plastered on my face.

Ugh highschool. I thought as I plopped down onto my bed. I was so fed up with everyone's bullshit. Like why can't people get a life or is that just how today's society works.

I pulled out a magazine and started to flip through the pages until I heard my mom yell my name. "Elle!" I jumped off my bed and ran to the stairs and looked down at her.

"Yes mom?" I questioned her. "I'm going out tonight with your father, so please no parties." She told me pointing a finger at me.

"Oh please mom, do I look like the kind of girl to be throwing parties?" I held a hand up to my chest. "Yes you do." She said before walking off.

I laughed as I walked back into my room to see a red haired boy climbing through my window. Dinger. "What? You left the window unlocked." He laughed as he stepped inside. He's my bestfriend.

"My parents are leaving soon just so you know." I said sitting down on my bed.

"So you're going to kick me out aren't you?" He said looking down at his shoes. "Nah." I said laughing as he then took a seat next to me.

Less than an hour later my mom and dad kissed me goodnight as they left to go wherever.

"It's a Friday night Elle, we need to go do something." Dinger walked over to my mirror adjusting his hair.

"Okay we can call up Bobby and Lainie and go to Archies with the car we don't have." I laughed laying down on my back.

"We can take our bikes." Dinger suggested as he walked over and laid down beside me. "Ha your really funny Dinger." I said turning and looking at him.

I wish I was just 16 already and had a license. Feels like I'm going to be stuck at 15 forever.

"I want to love you
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin'
Tender lovin' care"

I sat up from my bed to see Dinger dancing and singing to Michael Jackson. "What are you doing?" I laughed. "Having fun since you don't want to go out and have fun." He said grabbing my hairbrush to use as a microphone. "I want to have fun." I said all pouty. "Then come dance with me." He said holding out his hand.

Me and Dinger have been friends since 7th grade and we are in 9th grade now. I was Lainie's best friend and Dinger was best friends with Bobby, then when Bobby and Lainie started dating me and Dinger became really good friends and that's how it's been for the past 2 years.

"We should go see a movie." Dinger suggested. "Do you have money? Because I know I don't." I told him.

"I'm broke. But hey you can go get some from your parents room I bet." He bit his lip then smiled.

"No, no I'm not stealing from my parents." I told him standing up from the bed.

"Elle come here I need to tell you something." I walked over to him. "What?". He leaned up to me and whispered in my ear "I promise I won't tell the cops on you." He then bursted out laughing. "Dinger I'm being serious." I playfully hit him in the arm. "And I'm being serious too." He playfully hit me back.

We were interrupted when the phone rang. I walked over to it and picked it up. "Hello?" I said to the person on the other end. "Hey, is Elle Ryans home?" The boy asked. "This is her." I answered back. "Elle, Hi it's Jim from school."

Jim is my crush that I've had for a few years now. I didn't think he thought I existed.

"What's up?" I asked. "I was wondering if you had any plans Saturday night." I walked out of the room bringing the long telephone chord with me.

"Uh-h this Saturday. No I don't." I said nervously. "Great want to go to the movies with me?" He asked. "Um-m sure that'd be great."

"See you then." I then hung up and a huge smile formed on my face.
