YOUR DENIM JACKET // Dinger Holfield

eight

- 1 month later -

There's only about one more month of school left and I'm enjoying every bit of it that I have with Dinger and of course my other friends, can't forget about them.

I was in class, last period, and the teacher just caught me and Dinger passing notes. "Alright, Holfield and Miss.Ryans, did I say you could pass love notes in my class?" She walked up and down the aisles of the classroom. I was sitting somewhere in the back as he was sitting a row over in the back close to me.

I glanced over my shoulder at him as he was already looking back, smirking. I smiled at him and turned back around as she grabbed the notes from off of our desks and walked up to the the front of the class. I knew what she was going to do, she was going to read them out loud that bitch. I slouched down in my chair and covered my face from turning red. Yes the notes were that private but I guess I just get embarrased easily.

She grabbed a random one, then started to read one of them but Dinger interupted her.

"Excuse me Mrs.Simons? You don't understand that Elle here is very embarrassed, so could you please stop embarrasing my girlfriend, thank you." Dinger said with a big grin furrowing his eyebrows at the same time. She looked at him and shook her head then threw all the notes in the trash. "Are you talking back to me Dinger." She pointed a finger at him then putting her hands on her hips. "No I am not." He then held his hands up in defense.

Class was over and Dinger came up to me and put an arm around me. "Thank you." I smiled as we walked downt the hallway. "What are bestfriends for." He winked at me and we continued to walk. He knew we were dating but still calling me and him bestfriends meant something special between the two of us.

"Hey ladiees." Dinger walked over and sat down next to me across from Lainie and Bobby. "Hey I'm not a girl, Dinger!" Bobby argued. "Sorry pal." Dinger said kicking him in the foot as they both then laughed.

"So now that's it's starting to get closer to summer." Lainie began to say. "Yeah?" I asked. "We should all come over my house this weekend and swim and just hang out." She said brushing the hair out of her face.

"Yeah that will be fun." I said looking at her as the guys nodded there heads in response.

It was then quiet as we began to eat our lunch outside of the school.

"Guys guess what?" Bobby smirked at us all, as we then leaned in. "My parents left some alcohol on the counter and they will be out tonight so." We all looked at eachother and our faces lit up.

I don't drink much, well I mean not at all. But I guess it would be fun, the four of us acting like a bunch of goofballs for just one night.

"Then I saw her face!" Dinger began to sing. "dner dner der der der!" Bobby chimed in. "Now I'm a believer!" Dinger yelled as he then took a sip from the bottle of alcohol.

I laid back in the grass next to Lainie as we were somewhat sober but not really and we both knew the guys weren't at all. "Guys!?" I yelled out as I could feel Dinger fall down next to me. "Yes Elle?" He turned to me with a big grin. "I think we should all be going home now it's a school night." I then sat up looking at my friends on the ground outside of some park we were hanging out at. "Elle your such a party pooper." Dinger stood up wobbling a bit as he then pulled me up off the ground.

He took a puff off of his cigarette then throwing his arm over my shoulder and blowing the smoke in my face. "Elle if you really want to go home I'll walk you home." Dinger looked at me smiling that then turned to a smirk. He then laid his head on mine. "Okay." I smiled then looked at the two on the ground.

"Are you guys going to make it home okay?" I asked them as Lainie nodded her head. "Mmhm." Bobby smiled. "Okay well goodnight." I spoke as me and Dinger walked off.

We arrived at my house and I was about to say goodnight to Dinger but he stopped me by kissing me. "Elle, can I come inside?" He asked pecking my lips with his. I nodded and grabbed his hand opening the door slowly as we then quietly crept upstairs to my room.

And one thing led to another..

I walked in the school with Lainie the next morning as there was no sign of Bobby and Dinger.

"So how are you and Dinger?" Lainie asked as we opened up our lockers which were right next to eachother. "What do you mean how are we? I mean we are going fine, great actually if that's what your wondering." I rambled then giggled, throwing my backpack in my locker and closing it shut. "So you don't have to tell me anything?" She furrowed her eyebrows with a smirk. "Lainie!" I hit her in the arm as she laughed.

"We haven't done anything like that." I smirked as I then felt arms wrap around me. "What do you mean we haven't done anything like that, huh?" I heard Dinger say right next to my ear as I felt my body get tingly and I giggled.

I turned my head to him as he kissed me quickly then nuzzled his chin in the crook of my neck. "Awh you guys are too cute." Lainie rolled her eyes with a smile. "Your just jealous." Dinger looked up at her with a grin. "Jealous of what?" Lainie laughed.

"Your jealous that I can have this beautiful girl all to myself and you can't." Dinger then kissed me on the cheek and I blushed.

"Ha. ha." Lainie said as we looked at eachother and laughed.

The bell then rung. "See you later." I told Dinger as Lainie stood by my side. He waved at me and Lainie then walked off to his class.

We were sitting in our chairs as Lainie was turned around talking to me. "Elle did you get last nights hom-." She was then cut off. "Hey Elle! Does Dinger do you better?" I heard Jim yell across the room. "What are you talking about?! I never even did you Jim!" He then smirked and I rolled my eyes. "But you wish you did." He ran his hand through his hair trying to look hot but he wasn't pulling it off with his attitude.

Funny how after one day things can get spread so fast throughout the school and everybody ends up knowing.

"Pissoff asshole." I looked at him crossing my arms. "Me, pissoff. Your telling me to pissoff? Elle you should be telling your boyfriend that, he's the one-." Lainie cut him off. "Oh shutup." She rolled her eyes at him as I laughed.

Jim must have had a good excuse to tell me why I should tell Dinger to pissoff because he has done nothing to me and Jim has. Jim is actually quite dumb to be honest I just never really fully understood.

I always wonder maybe if I didn't ever go out with Jim if I would have never ended up like this with Dinger, like maybe we would have stayed best friends. I will never know. All I know is that where I am right now I'm happy and I'm pretty sure he is also.

So I guess you could say that I don't regret a single thing.
