I Hate Love

7

It's New Year's Eve and I'm in New York!...not Times Square, though.

Yes I know, what a waste huh? Nope. Actually, I'm with Blake and Ziven and our families. Dad wants to suck up to Mr. Dean by 'taking care' of Blake while he's away. Ziven's parents have become friends with my parents and it turns out that our parents used to hang out all the time in high school. Weird right?

Well anyways, we're on the top floor of a building not too far away from Times Square. We're at this awesome party (that Blake and Ziven dragged me and our parents to) and Ziven and I are help Blake get a girl.

"...So can you guys distract her friend while I go over there and flirt?"

"Got it," we said.

I went over there with Ziven to the two girls and started talking,"Hey I'm Ketley."

"I'm Ziven."

"I'm Thalia."

"I'm Thea."

Thea's the one who Blake's been eyeballing.

"Are you guys from here?"

"Oh yeah, we live around here," answered one of the girls.

"Oh great. Um this is sorta awkward, but we're lost, can one of you guys helps us out?" I asked.

"We need to get to room 320B." 320B was our room number so we weren't going to some random stranger's door.

"Oh sure," they both said.

"Um, can Thalia show us," Ziven asked.

"Oh sure. Follow me." She led us into the elevator and to our floor.

You're welcome Blake.

After making it to our room and seeing Blake enter shortly after with Thea, Ziv and I got the message for some privacy.

We went back to the roof and well...everything was kinda a haze after that.

Point is, it's New Year's Day now. Tonight we'll be on a plane heading back home. In only three days, school will be back.

I woke up this morning to a dog licking my face, Ziv concealed in a silly string bust, and Blake was hanging from the ceiling by a leg, some duct tape, and a rope. Foam was all over me and the floor was flooded. The weirded part is that we weren't even in our room. Our parents were nowhere to be found. It was dusk.

*This Morning*

Jet is kissing my cheek! I can't believe it! It's actually happening! He's about to kiss me on the lips!

He's leaning in. I closed my eyes. He's so close I an feel it and...he's kissing my eyes?!

I opened my eyes.

What the?! Why is there a tongue in front of my face. I shoved the owner if the tongue away.

Aw. It was just a dream. Yeah I'm not completely over Jet yet.

What the--

Why is a hound puppy licking my face?!

I look around. The first thing I see is the sunrise in the distance. I am not indoors. Why is my hair wet?! Why is there foam all over me?!

I see Blake hanging upside-down from the top of an awning. I stand up and--what am I standing in?! I look down. It looks like plain water...

I slowly splash over to Blake. I look up. It looks like he's hanging from one leg. A rope's tied around his ankle so... There's duct tape securing whatever knot's holding him up. I move my gaze upward. Duct tape is also holding the rope to the awning...ok...
