Fractured Fundamentals

good times to come

Collins pov *Friday*

when i looked at the time it was 3:00 and that meant we had 30 more minutes in Mr. Mathew's class and we could go home. Mr. Mathew ended the lesson a little early today so i decided to take the seat in the back next to river and Casey. "hey Myers" Casey greeted me checking me out. "hey guys" i say. "well well well if it isn't Collin" river said while resting her head in the palm of her hand. how can she look so cute even when she's not even trying? "ready for me to kick your ass in COD later? (by the way COD is call of duty)" i said challenging her. Turns out not only is she smart cute and funny but she also likes video games. I've been over her house every day for the whole week to play games. "you better not go easy on me. That would be your first mistake." she said shooting me a warning glare. "don't worry about me i'm not too good at making mistakes" i told her unphased by her threat. this girl is more amazing than grace and tomorrow i'm gonna bring her something to surprise her at the pizza parlor.

Rivers pov

so Collin has been over to my house every day of this week to play video games, and i won't lie this was a great start of my senior year. i hope he didn't forget about tomorrow, Or even worse what if he cancels on me? no you know what i'm going to tell him i have a surprise for him at the pizza parlor. if i tell him today, then there is no way he can cancel. i know i sound a bit desperate, but this guy is so cute and sweet i want to make him mines. so 10 minutes later the dismissal bell rings for us to go home. i pack my things and head for my locker when i get there i see terrise lounging around. "yo fart face why are you speeding home?" i tease her. "uh i'm actually waiting for someone" she said nervously. "oh well i'm here let's roll Terri" i said thinking she meant me. "no i'm actually waiting for a guy i met today. His name is Benson." she said back with a look of amusement. "Benson? THE Benson Lakely? the one with the twin?" i asked shocked out of my mind. could they be dating? nah she would have called and told me. "yup." she said popping the P. "oh well i guess i'll leave you to it. Collin and i will be playing video games til the break of dawn" i said stretching my arms out walking away. i sure hope he brings his A game. "alright girl. i'll text you later." she called out to me. "kay bye." i walked off to the far end of the corridor to scan my ID to get to parking lot. damn this school was complicated! when i walked out i seen Collin leaning against my car in a cool position. "Hey Jones what kept ya?" he said putting his phone in his pocket. "Terrise has a date with one of the most popular guys in school and she just had to tell me" i told him obviously lying due to the fact i was the one prying answers out of her. "oh well who's the lucky contestant?" he asked. "Benson Lakely, with the twin." i said in hopes of him knowing who the guy is. "ahh yes i know exactly who your talking about." he replied. when we closed our doors i plugged my phone into the auxiliary and started playing fall out boy. when it got to my favorite part i started to sing out loud. "No No, wherever i Go Go, trouble seems to follow, i only plugged in to save rock and roll" i sang loudly turning into my driveway when Collin joins in singing in a funny voice. "blood brothers, in desperation...An oath of silence for the voice of our generation." he sang. why the hell not finish what i started. "Whoa how'd it get to be only me? like i'm the last damn kid still kickin who still believes" after we finish the whole song we get out of the car laughing our asses off. when we got in we already died down our laughing and started talking up the stairs. "Damn Jones i didn't know you had a passion for rock n roll" he said laughing at me. "you weren't too bad yourself Myers." i winked at him. when we got in my room i told him to start the game and i went to go change into some more comfortable clothes. 'okay this is the moment of truth' i thought to myself. i didnt want to dress as if i was trying too hard so i kept it simple with some black and white Nike yoga pants and my black tank top. after i changed i put a black sweater on and tied my hair in a pony tail. when i walked out i saw Collin gawking at me. what the flip is wrong with this kid? after we played COD for what seemed like a couple of hours, i noticed it was getting late. "yo my mom wanted to know if it was alright if i could crash here tonight." he said. when he got to the 'crash here part' i think my world slowed down. i was stuck for a minute. this good looking guy just asked if it was okay to spend the night at my house. okay so Mark used to let Terri and Casey spend the night all the time. Casey is a boy so maybe he wont mind if Collin would stay the night. i went to ask him. "HELL NO!" Mark whisper yelled at me. "but come on his mom is busy tonight and since were close to his place he can sleep on the couch." i tried to reason with him. "but what if he tries something with you?" he asked over protectively. "he wont! come on bro pleeeeeeaaassee, you let Casey spend the night and he's a boy" i spat at him matter o factly. "fine, but under one condition...keep him in your room and leave the door open, he sleeps on the far side of your room and he leaves his clothes on" he said. i was so excited, but i couldn't show it in front of Mark. so i left his room to tell Collin the great news. "hey Coll--" i got cut off by the most beautiful angle on the planet earth mid shirt flip.(that means he was going to take of his shirt but i interrupted him.) tonight will be very interesting...
