I can't help myself but want to just not go home. After the nights I spent with Blake, Rig got angry and told me not to stay out all day and night, but he can't tell me what to do as he isn't my legal guardian thank god. Also, tomorrow is my birthday. Yep! July 20th 1999. I couldn't wait to turn 17. I was so excited. I wanted to literally never go home, since I'm by myself financial wise and emotionally.
I take out my phone to see I have a text message. It's from Blake. After the  nights I stayed, I decided to play around with him and mess with him, which thinking about it now was probably a bad idea.

Nouvel Amour-
'Hey, can you come over right now? Please?'

I read it to myself and start to think heavily on what exactly it said. I reply.

Me-
'What's wrong?'

As I had a bad feeling, I head to the bus stop where I see Buck and his asshole friends. Or should I say henchmen. I walk towards the sign and just wait for the bus to come. I hear Buck talking to his peasants and I feel stares drop on me. It began to go quiet and I look around to find the bus as Buck stares at me. He starts to speak.

"Hey sugar, you feeling spicy?"
Well that's a new one. Usually it's the other way around, but whatever. I ignore him, still looking for the bus. His peasants laugh and giggle, as soon as I hear them I jerk my head to the side to look at them with my evil glare. They go from laughing to fear in 0.6 seconds. I look back at the road and finally speak.

"How about you leave me the fuck alone before I drop kick your ass and throw you into a car?" I look over to them. "Sound good?" I evilly smile. Buck's eyes widen as he looks down and coughs. He starts to talk again.

"I. Uh, wanted to say h-hhappy birthday, Reb. I-I know you don't like me, but I wanted to just say that. And guessing by your mood, I take it you already dealt with shit for tonight?" He asked, I look over at him. I then turn to see my bus. My last words to him:
"I killed a thug who ganged up on my cousin. He shot me. Goodbye." As I walked away to go on the bus, Buck and his gang gasp as I walk on the bus, they then stare at me through the window and just wide eyed start praising me. Fuck off assholes.

I finally make it to Blake's house and it's about 2 hours until midnight. I text him to let him know I'm here.

Me-
"I'm here. Where are you?"

I wait for a response but instead I get a wide opened door. And looking on the ground I see little flower petals, not roses because he knows I hate roses, but a mixture of orchids and sunflowers. I laugh to myself.
What the hell man?
I walk up to the door as the flower petals lead up to his room. I had a weird feeling, but went in anyway. I look around the room and see nothing and no one, but his bed is filled with the flower petals, the room is lit with the twinkle lights from the backyard, his window is covered by a dark red curtain, and his bed covers changed to a dark maroony-red color. On the bed, read a note. I read it:

'For now you show, I wont come out
Until you read what I'm about.
I leap into the backyards den
To hope I find my treasure again'

As I read it to myself, I realised he wanted me to do a scavenger hunt for him, so I reread it and go to the backyard in the shed den. As I make my way there, I found another note that was in pretty handwriting.

'As you can see, I'm not here at all
In fact, you might as well look through my wall.'

Said the second one. I look around and notice there was a new addition to the house. The walls were made of glass, I walk through them to find a note, but I couldn't find anything helpful. Until I accidently stepped on it. I read it.
