~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mary and Henri had been walking through the woods for around 15 minutes and in that 15 minutes Mary had thought about how she was at this hell hole because of incidents like this and if she got caught what would happen and just before her thoughts swirled consumed her into a state of frenzy she heard a low buzz of voices and she could see the warm glow of a campfire.
Then Henri spoke and her annoying, weirdly fast voice ruined it,
“Okay Mary, before you meet these guys I should probably warn you that Seth is a full on stoner and if you talk to him about his ex-girlfriend Ellie he will probably through something large, hard and heavy at your face. Next Rowan, he has been going strong with Tallulah his girlfriend for about a year now so if you bring up the fact that he has cheated on her twice he will also hurl something at you. And finally Tallulah, she is perpetually annoying and clingy so if you find yourself left alone with her do not talk about how clingy she is because she is also very over emotional.”
Before Mary could process any of that the guy who she had guessed was Seth, who had a ponytail of dredlocks and a joint balancing precariously on his lower lip, shouted,
“Henri!” Then glancing over at Mary running his eyes up and down her, “And sensual ginger.”
“Mary.” She quickly corrected him as she felt herself blushing.
“Well Mary welcome to Father Calloway’s also known as ‘El Agujero Del Infierno’”
He read her expression,
“The Hole of Hell in Spanish.”
Henri laughed and sat down on one of the logs that was placed around the campfire. Mary sat opposite hugging her knees to her chest and pulling her hoodie closer to her and rubbing her hands quickly together to warm up.
After a while of awkward silence, and the noise of Seth occasionally letting out a large puff of smoke, Henri spoke up,
“Oh god I just realised that I haven’t introduced you guys to each other!”
Making awkward hand gestures back and forth from Mary and the couple sitting opposite,
“Mary, this is Rowan,” Henri said pointing to the guy with gelled back brown hair, he stood up and shook hands with Mary, who was surprised and thought to herself god he looked so much taller when he was sitting down, maybe he should consider it full-time.
“And this is his girlfriend, Tallulah.”
The petite girl with brunette hair smiled sweetly standing up, rearranging her skirt and pulling Mary into a rib-crushing hug, Mary coughed into her shoulder,
“She’s a hugger!”
The four of them had been sitting in the woods for about an hour when conversation ran dry and the boys had stopped laughing about how Mary had ended up in ‘El Agujero Del Infierno’ and Seth had begun to put his little plastic bags of ‘God Knows What’ (His name for the alloy joint) away, Mary realised that it was probably time to start heading back.
“Seriously Mary it was so nice to meet you.” Tallulah said, looking as if she was going to boil over with bubbliness,
“It was so nice to meet you too!” Mary replied, honestly wishing she hadn’t as Tallulah pulled her into a tight embrace and whispering, “Mary, oh Mary, we are going to be the bestest friends!”
