Emotions Are Weird

I couldn't see him, then suddenly I felt arms wrap around me. I went up for air and screamed hearing laughter behind me, i turned and saw Michael enjoying himself so much. I kicked him in the balls and punched him in the arm, "ow" he said pain written all over his face, "don't ever do that again" I said climbing out of the pool. "Come on, I'm sorry" Michael said, "I'm not mad, just please no more" I told him and he nodded. Michael grabbed a towel and hugged me in it as we sat next to each other shivering like crazy. The rest just looked at us stifling their laughs, "well, then" said Michael putting his arm around me. "Lia, truth or dare" Michael asked, "truth she said. "Boo, no fun" said Michael jokingly, "well,are. You nervous for school tomorrow" Michael asked. Lia scoffed and said a simple "no" i examined her, "you're lying" I said with a smirk "alright, I'm terrified" she said with a sour look at me. I smiled in victory, "Siren" Lia said grinning at me, "truth or dare" she asked me "dare" I said with a shrug, I mean how bad could it be. "I dare you to kiss Michael" my face turned red, I looked over at Michael and his face had the same blush. "You don't have to if you don't want to" he said looking down at my wrist with the tattoo. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but without a word I kissed him as he held my hand the kiss was passionate and it felt like a huge adrenaline rush going through me. After what seemed like forever I let go of the kiss, but as soon as I did I saw the visions again,the cries and the slams of doors. I pushed them away though and looked quickly back at the table, "well tomorrow is a long day, and I think we should get some rest" I said calmly, everyone's eyes on me and Michael. "Michael could I please borrow one of your sweaters again" I asked finally turning to him, "sure come with me " he said getting up still wrapping me in the towel with him because he noticed my shivers. We went upstairs to his room and he opened his closet and picked out a blue sweater with some gray sweatpants. I reached out for them but he pulled them out of my reach "everything comes with a price dearie" he said, my eyes lit up " no way, you watch Ouat" I said smiling. "Well, duh" he said, I took his hand and led him to my room "tah-dah" I said unzipping one of my bags to reveal some Ouat merchandise, "pick one thing" I said as he knelt down and looked at the bag. He picked out a silver chain necklace with a dagger on it, i grabbed it out of his hand and put it on him. Revealing that I was wearing a matching one, we laughed and I grabbed the clothes from him "now be a good boy and turn around" I said to him, "aw you're no fun" he said jokingly as he turned around. I quickly changed, and began to brush my hair. "Sorry" Michael said, "for what" I said without looking at him. "Sorry, about that dare. Lia and I aren't exactly best friends" he said as I turned to look at him "it's ok" I said. "Besides, you like Cassie right" I asked him looking down at my tattoo. "Emotions are weird" he said grabbing my hand, I smiled. "Well, we do have school tomorrow and I am getting a bit tired. So goodnight" I said pulling my hand back, he nodded and headed out the door. I locked the door and turned off my desk lamp curling up in my covers, thinking "it's been a long time since I've actually felt this happy", and falling into a deep sleep.
