The Elements (*DISCONTINUED*)

The Ride

I took a minute to go to the bathroom where I decided to refresh myself with a nice soothing splash of cold water. Instead I accidently opened the hot water tap, which resulted in me burning my hands, making a mess in the bathroom, and cursing out my sink. How relaxing.

After my 'model worthy' face wash, I brought the letter to Ronnie. I watched as she read it with wide eyes.

''Dude, is this really serious?!" she asked looking me in the eyes.

"I mean, after most of what's happening, I can believe it is." I responded.

"Are we seriously gonna get in a car with some guy or girl,' not trying to assume gender here' that we don't know? Like c'mon, stranger danger exists. "She asked, in a humorous tone, but I knew she was slightly concerned.

"Of course not. I might be an idiot, but I'm not stupid. We're not getting into that car without these!" I smiled referring to the handcuffs and metal nunchucks I pulled out from underneath my pillow pet.

As she saw them, I noticed an evil glint in her eyes. We were pros when it came to things like these.( Don't ask, I warned you that we were weird.)

After checking in with our parents, and blatantly lying to them ( don't follow us kids ), we were allowed to go, under their assumption that we were just going to some school party. I mean we are 16 and graduating in less than a month. Helloooo, idiotic genious' here!! Only rules were no drinking. Not that it's gonna be a problem. For me at least, Ronnie is a different story.

I took a glimpse at myself in the mirror to prepare for our little adventure. My dark brown hair flowed down my neck and my brown skin glistened in the light as I moved. My eyes shimmered as I stared at my reflection and shrugged. Eh, I look okay.

I took a look at Ronnie. She's pretty but I don't tell her that because, what friend I'm i if I don't tease her occadionally? Her short dyed hair brushed perfectly against her neck, complimenting her pale skin, and the way she'd brush a few stray strands behind her ear. She was gorgeous.

I called out to her from the bathroom, " Hey Shrek. You ready? Because there's a strange jeep that looks like it came straight off a pedophiles playground."

"Don't worry frog face, I got you. You're safe as long as you got me, and these bad boys of course." Ronnie said, tapping the spot she hid her weapons.

We made our way to the car and got in when we were startled by Mexican man who looked mid 40's.

"Aye, what the hell you doing man , get out my car, this ain't do damn taxi. Not all Mexican people do taxi sevices you know! Damn prostitutes." He yelled at us, giving us a threatened glare.

We quickly jumped out the car but not before I shouted at him "You're right, how silly of me, they clean toilets!" and slammed the door. Ronnie doubled over with laughter.

Out of know where, the guy rolled down his window and threw some coins at us and said "I know you prostitutes want all this..." He said motiong to his big belly un-proportioned face and jelled hair, " I know I'm sexy but damn chicas, I'm married. By the way buy a toothbrush" And sped down the street.

By now we both were laughing at our shame. Ronnie looked to the side of the road and saw a guy signaling for us to get in. We both gave each other a questioning look, mentally asking each other if we should get in and why we were doing this. But we entered regardless, Ronnie's hand firm on her weapons as we did.

" Quite a show there." The guy in the hood said holding back his laughter as he started driving.

For some strange reason, the sparks were back. I could tell Ronnie felt it too by the way she looked at me.
