The Spark

He Likes You

I tried to upload the banner! I'll try today but thank you

I started to jog lightly, pacing myself. My feet slapping the pavement with the beat of the music. I started going faster and faster until my feet were going so fast I felt like I was flying. I sped down the quiet street. My heart raced. I'm free. I'm free.

Adam

Shit. Why now? Why of all times to think about anyone? Maybe it was the thing about the heartbeat. The last time my heart pumped like that was with him.

Adam

No one is around to hear me scream. So I did. Who was there to stop me. The celebrities snug in their glass houses. The streets were empty. 

I remembered that time at Kat's birthday party. Everyone was there and we all sat around playing seven minutes. Stupid, I know.

Jack and Nirva sat between me. Then there was Kat next to Adam next to an older guy named Tyler. Smoke rose up and red solo cups spilled all over the carpet. Soft rock buzzed from the stereo and we were all cross legged.

"Your turn, Olive." I looked up from the pattern I was studying on the rug.

"Oh." I spun the empty wine bottle, it slowed to a hault on Tyler. I cursed myself because it was one away from Adam. Adam turned the other way and Tyler gave me a half smile.

Kat whooped as we made out way to the closet.

"Um, do you want to do this? Because if you don't want to do this... I mean-"

Tyler lazily put a finger to my lip, with his other hand he wrapped it around my waist.

"Sh baby girl." He put his other arm around my waist as well and got real close to me. The smell of pot and chocolate cake tickled my nose. 

He crashed his lips into mine, first lightly kissing then hungrily devouring them. It was going a tad to fast for me. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there. Next thing I knew he shoved his tounge into my mouth, I gripped a near by hanging coat. I didn't really like Tyler. He was a junior and at the time I was still a timid freshman, sure he was cute but... It didn't feel right.

"Oh god." He mumbled taking a breath and going back at it. He fiddled with my bra clasp. No, no. I stomped on his foot.

"Jesus, you pervert!" I yelled at him.

"Oh quit being such a prude. It's seven minutes in heaven were suppose to do this sort of thing."

"I'm not a prude because I don't want you to- to, oh you know!"

"Prude." He croaked and we left the closet.

Kat and a couple of others were drinking on the couch. Tyler shuffled to the kitchen and I went up to Kat.

"Hey, Olly come here." She smiled grabbing my shoulder and taking me aside.

"What is it, and something really bad happened in-"

"Adam totally likes you."

"You're drunk." She smelled like vodka.

"I little." She shrugged "But it's true."

"Honestly I can't believe you but something happened in there and-"

Kat flung herself onto the floor. I never got to tell her about Tyler. I never found out the truth.

I looked around. How long have I been out here? The sun simmered on my skin and I began the jog back home.

Adam.
