Snatched

Beginning new

It was all black.  Nothing but a small sliver of a moon was seen from a small crack through a hole in the bent wood. All was known was that I was in an abandoned shack. Most likely in the middle of the woods, with people I could care less about. I'm terrified, but yet have hope. Hope that maybe I'll be able to escape. Just hope. Hope that this murder will let us all go. Be free again. I just wish that I hadn't gone, I really wish I had just stayed home and do what I like to do the most. Because I probably won't be able to do it again. Why did this all happen?
It all started when I went to a basketball practice with my best friend Jack. It was a quiet day, little breeze, hot and sunny. I never thought in years that I'd see him, surrounded by pretty girls, it kind of made me wonder. I saw Marcus out of the corner of my eye, being the usual snob. I rolled my eyes as I started to walk past him. I was stopped when Marcus smiled at me, " Sup Daniel. " I looked towards him, "What do you want." Marcus laughed and got through the crowd of girls, " C'mon buddy? Do you hate me that much? " I scoffed and crossed my arms, " I don't hate you, I just don't put up with people like you. " I smirked as I tried walking away until Marcus stopped me by grabbing my wrist. I looked back at Marcus and said sternly, " What the hell man?"
" I was wondering if you wanted to hang out on Saturday. " Marcus said with a serious face, " I't's a party, do you like parties? "
" No, why would I ever go to that with you?", I said as I yanked my arm away from Marcus's grip.
Marcus tried calling after me, but I ignored him and caught up with Jack at the basketball courts.
Jack looked up and waved excitedly, " Sorry man you were taking too long with that dude. But hey look over there. "
I turned around to see Justin looking in my direction. Justin smiles and waves to me, in which I madly blushed and awkwardly waved back. I all of a sudden realized that Justin was running towards me with open arms. I turned to Jack with a panicked face, but he just smirked at me. "Hey guys, I was wondering if you wanted to have a match with me and my friends?" Jack smiled and smirked at Daniel, "Sure! Right Daniel?" I blushed and looked away, "Ye-yeah", I stuttered. Justin smiled and waved over his team. I looked around to see Marcus coming onto the court. "Damnit!" I said under my breath. Marcus walked past me, smiling, "Good luck!". I watched him leave with a grudge on my face, "Don't worry I don't need luck from you." I shouted back. It was a fair match, 2 against 2. My friend Jack on my side, with my crush and enemy on the other. I was prepared to crush them, and prove to Marcus that I was better than him. Jack looked up, "How about Justin and Daniel start the game since they're the tallest." Jack winked at me as I sluggishly walked to the middle to slap up the ball with Justin. I put my hand on top of the ball, planning to have to slap my crushes hand away. I was shocked to realize that Justin had put his hand right on top of mine to hit the ball. I looked away, not wanting to look at his eyes and blush like a tomato. The ball was finally thrown up when I looked back to see Justin get the ball. I was then shot back to reality and realizing that I was playing in a game that I had to win. The game was tough, I avoided knocking into Justin throughout the whole game, so it was challenging. After a long match, it was tie. 4 to 4. I needed to win, I just needed to show that dumb-faced Marcus that I was superior. By the time I threw the ball to Jack, Marcus stepped in front of Jack and caught the ball. I frowned again and started chasing Marcus with the ball, before I could stop myself. I ran right into Justin and fell right on top of him. Marcus was able to make the ball into the hoop and officially won the game. I looked down to see Justin sitting there, smiling up at me. I blushed and got myself up off of him, "OH MY GOD. I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking and I'm I.." Justin put his arm around me making me just stop, "It's ok Daniel. I understand" He laughed, "good game guys." I noticed the girls coming into view. I smiled brightly at my friends Emma and Monica. I waved at them as they ran over, "Omg! We saw everything!", they both said shaking me back and forth, "You guys are soooo cut-." I covered both of their mouths as fast as I possibly could, "Guys?! C'mon!" I looked in his direction and whispered, "He's right over there." I noticed a girl hanging all over that idiot. I felt anger towards her, and him...... They both annoyed me. I didn't even realize I was staring until Marcus looked over at me, smiling and waving. I just looked away and back to my friends. I felt someone grab my shoulder as I looked back to see Marcus standing there. I groaned, "What do you want Marcus?" The girl hanging all over him glared at me. I looked down at her, "Don't look at me like that. It's not me who's all over someone who doesn't like me." She growled, "No one talks to me or Marcus like that, you dumbass." I frowned and looked back to Marcus. He just laughed, "It's ok Shea. I'm used to it." Shea looked away from me. I noticed Justin and his friends walking out of the court, "See you guys tonight. Good game!" I smiled and waved at Justin, watching him leave the court. Marcus looked back at me, "Actually I was going over here to see if you could come to the party tonight. It's going to be down near Bay Cove. " I rolled my eyes, " You mean that super secluded beach with all those drug addicts? " He laughed, "Yeah. You think you can come?" I laughed back at him, "Not if you'll be there." He frowned, "The whole schools going to be there! You'll have fun." I stared at him. Jack butted in, " So you mean like Justin and the rest of the basketball team will be attending?" Marcus looked up, " Yeah, of course. Justin's at every party." I looked back at Jack and the girls. " As long as you guys come with, I'll go. " I looked back at Marcus.
" Count us all in. " Marcus smiled, "See you tonight. Bay Cove at..... 9o'clock." "We'll be there! " I responded quickly. I watched him walk away. Something about his laugh, his smile, his stupid hair and personality. It was intriguing.
