The "Bad Boy"

Chapter Five-My Sisters

I can't believe it. After all this time of telling myself things that make me feel wrong about him, I'm actually already in love with him. His this crazy or not? It must be. I'm so stupid sometimes. But he loves me, that must count as something. He's drawn a picture of me with beautiful hand work and shown it to all the art class. But he still chose his friends over me in our first date. That also must mean something. But I can't explain my feeling for him right now. It's like a blur. One minute I know what happened and then another I forgot. Did he kiss me? Oh yeah, he did. And I liked it. I liked it a lot. I want to feel his lips against mine again. They feel comforting and warm. I can't stop thinking of him.

"Wait, WHAT?" "You're already in LOVE?!" "Rion come on now there's no way!" The girls scream at me in the car. Apparently I was right about them being all over me. But I didn't car nor listen. I just wanted to take this great time to think of him, Scott Hedges. He is really cute, now that I think about it. He's got those beautiful hazel brown eyes, blonde hair, tall structure, and when he's wearing a sleeveless shirt, you can get a glance at his arms and the perfect gun show every girl falls for. I catch myself biting my bottom lip. I can't believe myself right now.

"ORION!?" Becky booms. "What?" I say stupidly. "WHAT HAPPENED?" Carrie screams. "Nothing, he just took me to the movies and then Chipotle. I remember my bag of food still in my hands and probably getting cold. I take it out and start eating the delicious lemon sprinkled chips with guacamole and compare it to how yummy it is just like Scott's possible abs.

"Then what did you call us to get you for? You sounded really upset and annoyed. I know something happened girl, don't hide it, we're here for you if a hoe needs to be slapped." Carrie states. I loved how she and Becky always acted like this. It was always funny and brought my spirits up.  

"Ugh, fine. It's just, when we got to Chipotle, he saw his friends and well, he ignored me for them. But everything is okay now, I forgive him. He...kissed...me." I finish with a blush coming up my cheeks. "GIRL IS YOU SERIOUS LIKE OH MY GOD IT'S TOO SOON AND HE'S THE BAD BOY YOU CANNOT BE FALLING FOR HIM ORION! YOU'RE A STRONG GIRL. COME TO YOUR SENSES!" Carrie yells. It was true. I am a smart girl and need to know what's wrong or right, but something about me and Scott just feels right, like we were meant for each other.

After a whole conversation about "guys like Scott" and losing your virginity to "guys like Scott", Becky finally pulled into her driveway and pulled me inside. I say hello to her parents as she grabs my arm and pulls me up the steps while Carrie pushes me. When we reach her room, they throw me down on the bed and close the door. "Start talking, now Orion." I don't know what else they want from me. I already told them all that happened, sort of, not really, no. But I just don't want to and don't want to get yelled at more or thrown around more.

"He loves me and I think I love him back. End of story. I'm calling my mom to tell her I'm okay and staying over her tonight. That's okay with you guys?" I say as they look at me surprised. It was around 9 o'clock and my parents are going to kill me. "Yeah, sure let me tell my parents. HEY MOM, DAD, ORION AND CARRIE ARE STAYING OVER THE NIGHT!" Becky yells. "OKAY SWEETY, GOODNIGHT GIRLS!" They yell back. Making me and Carrie laugh.

Becky goes to her closet, and throws two pillows and a blanket out. I neatly make a small bed on the soft carpet floor that one of us will sleep on and the other two will sleep on the bad. It was an agreement we made many years ago.

"Well last time I slept on the floor so I take part of the bed!" Carrie exclaims. I smile because it is my turn to sleep on the floor. "I'll take it." I say, rolling my eyes. Becky laughs and jumps in bed with Carrie.

 ----------

We stare at the ceiling, talking to each other about boys and gossip about girls. "Oh yeah she is a total bitch. I can't stand the way she talks and yells in class, like she needs all the attention she can get." Becky gossips. Carrie joins in the gossiping and I get a text message. And it is from Scott.

Scott: Hey, it's Scott. I hope you don't mind me getting your phone number from Facebook but I just wanted to say I am so sorry for everything. My friends were there and well, I haven't seen them in a while.

Orion: Hi, it's okay. I was a little...a lot upset but I'm fine now. I suppose I understand. Friends are important.

Scott: Yeah thanks. And thanks for, you know...the kiss.

I blush, thinking of his lips again, I have know idea what to say back.

Orion: Um, yeah, you too."

Really that's all I can get out? Tell him about your feelings Orion!

Scott: Yeah, well goodnight beautiful. See you Monday, I hope. And maybe another time out of school."

Orion: You got it! Haha, goodnight.

What have I gotten myself into? Why am I falling for him so easily? He ignored me for his friends. Well, his friends he hasn't seen for a long time. I guess that doesn't count. Plus the kiss. I shiver in excitement, remembering yet again. I will never be able to forget it again. It felt so right. I sure will sleep good tonight.

"Hey, Orion?" Becky whispered. We were falling asleep and just whispering to each other, making each other laugh so hard we would get yelled at. "Yeah, Beck?" I answer. "How does it feel to love and be loved?" I am surprised by her question. It is as if she is telling me that she is unloved and wants to know what love is.

"Why do you ask? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just," she sighs. "I think I may be falling in love with someone. But I don't know if he loves me back. And if he doesn't then, I probably won't feel the same way about our friendship." I process the words she says and say, "Well, whoever it is, I think you should tell him. If you don't then well, you'll have to hold it in forever. But even if he doesn't love you back then, you should be glad he is your friend, just don't let that change between you two."

She smiles and we hear Carrie burst the bubble saying, "And who is this friend hmm Becky?" Becky thinks for a little and covers her face in embarrassment. She knows she needs to tell us. "It's  David!"

"DAVID! GIRL WHAT CHU SAYIN'?!" Carrie whisper yells. "I know, I know. I just got those feelings after we started hanging out more. It frustrates me. It gives me headaches! Headaches!"

"Girl stop acting like that this boy needs a haircut like damn, really? At lest pick someone cuter! Mmm." Carrie says. She never was the good advice giver. But her negative side always helped you know better. She always acted like this. With her dark hair, brown eyes and dark skin, I'd say she was a full ratchet. But she hates when I call her one.

"Carrie! Hush! Your not helping here. We need to tell her positive things that will make her feel good. Now listen Becky, you go up to David and tell him how you feel. I see the way he looks at you. Trust me. You need to take control and be strong. Got it?" I tell her straight forward. It was a little forceful but it was all true.

"Your right. But he's always so nice and sweet to you. Why won't he give me that attention?" she asks. "Cause you always be shruggin' him away girl! You need to be more...attracting to him, may I say." Carrie admits. Carrie did always act shy around him, even though they were best friends.

"Plus, I'm already in a relationship, sort of..." I say. Carrie simple whispers, "Work." playing with her nails.

"Oh yeah Orion, what about you again. Think you want to you know...date him?" Becky says suspiciously. I blush up and shake my head. "I fell in love with him in three days. But I don't want to move it fast. I need time to think. I'm really tired, goodnight." I finish, too confused to say more.

Hey peeps, yeah, this one was boring. I know. I'm ashamed. But I just wanted to add something about Orion's friends. The more you know right! Anyways if this even does get read just wanted to say, you guys can leave comments and stuff to help this story grow. Because it's gonna be big! Thanks again and next chapter coming soon!
