In Too Deep || D. H.

Thursday, August 24

I feel someone's hand fall over my face. "What the hell?" I open my eyes to Dinger. "Dinger?!" We both woke up, as I shoot up from the couch. We both fell asleep, oh my gosh. "Why didn't you leave?" I whisper-shouted. "I don't know, I just passed out." He whispered and put his hands up in defense. I look at the clock above the TV. It's only 6 in the morning.

"Ok. Just go up and hide in the basement, I'll act like I just woke up." I pointed to the stairs by the front door that leading to the basement. "Go!" I headed into the kitchen. Ok Maggie just act normal. "Good morning mother! It is a lovely sunny day outside isn't it?" I grab the newspaper and pretend to read it. "Ooh, a baby was left on the porch of an abandoned home for two days! How fascinating!" I pretend to be interested in the news, but that's actually tragic.

"Listen, I know about the boy." She says flatly. "I was going to say something, but I'll let it slide." She smirks. "So you already made a boyfriend on your third day here, and you didn't even tell me?!" She laughed.

"He's way far from being my boyfriend! I just had to tutor him that's all." I can't believe I let him stay even for a second longer. "Uhh huh. I said the same exact thing to my parents, when I was really doing the dirty." She said making a face and flipping pancakes. "Ughh! MOM!" I walked out of the kitchen disgusted, and head to go and grab him from the basement.

           We both head back to the kitchen and I never thought I would say these words. "Mom this is Dinger he is uhh.." An idiot, asshole, mental. "He is a kid that I go to school with." There, didn't say friend and didn't say anything harshly rude. "Nice to meet you dingle." She said motioning is to sit down. "It's Dinger ma'am." He corrected her. "Sorry. Maggie go wake your brother up." I roll my eyes and leave the room, to go head upstairs.

      "Get up!" I shake him until he opens his eyes, and then just leave.

              "Hey Dinger what are you doing here?" Jake said as soon as he comes into the kitchen. "Hey man, I didn't know Maggie and you are related." Figures. The person that I hate the most is friends with another person I hate.
"Were twins unfortunately." I roll my eyes and stab my sausage. "So are u guys dating or something?" Seriously Jake did you have to ask that question. "Absolutely not!" I blurted out while Dinger simultaneously stated. "Basically." I shot up from the table and threw my dishes in the sink.

"Thanks mom, but I really need to go get ready." I said, and bolted to my room. I started to get ready the slowest because I don't want to face Dinger. I leave my hair as is like usual and put on light makeup. I grab my mom jean shorts and slip a band tee over it. I put on my high top adidas tennis shoes. I grab my book bag and head downstairs.

It was only 7 and I have to be at school by 8. "Ok ughh, lets go Dinger." He got up from the couch, and limped over to the staircase where I was sitting. "Alright babe!" He winked at me, as a hideous odor erupted from his mouth. "Ew! At least go brush your teeth." I say, and waft the horrible smell away. When he was done we started to head outside. "Bye mom!"

              "Let's take my car." I saw and walk over to the garage. "Hold on." He grabbed my shoulders and steered me into the other direction. "Let's walk the long way." I shook his hands off of my shoulders and grabbed my cassette player. "Fine." I hit play and turn up the volume as loud as I can, so that I can't hear him.

              I feel hands take them off, and the music stops. "I mean, that we can actually have a conversation." I stop walking and fold my arms. "I mean hell, I did sleep over at YOUR house." He giggled, which I didn't think it was funny. Maybe we can get a long, but it's not going to be that easy.

            
                                     -

                The whole entire walk was just him babbling on and on about how this kid named 'Joel' is apparently more insane than Jeffrey Dahmer. He said he almost killed a few assholes over some dumb shit or whatever. I honestly wasn't listening at all.

          "And then he goes 'I'm going to pull the trigger!' And Bobby..." I stopped his elaboration on the incident I had no idea about. "Dinger!" I squeal holding him back from waking any further.
            "Who are those guys?" I ask as three tall boys head towards us. "Uh no time to explain." He grabbed me hand as we ran for the school.

               "Remember those assholes I was talking about?" I looked over my shoulder and they were right up on us. "That's them." He said bluntly as the school was coming into view.

       We ran straight up the stairs and through the doors of the school. "Sorry." "Sorry." We said as teens roam through the halls, and we tried not to collide with them. I turned to look behind me and there heads were hovering over the big ocean of students trying to find us.

           "In here." At the end of the hall we ran into the janitors closet. I locked the door and was breathing very heavily. "Well well..." Dinger said in between breaths. "We're a little close together, aren't we sweetness?" He huffed out and I feel his hot breath hit my face.

"First of all back it up, and second you did not brush ur teeth." He shrugged at popped a piece of gum in his mouth. We peek our heads out the door to make sure those guys still aren't out there. "We lost them." I sighed in relief, and head out the the door. Then a hand grabbed me back inside.

"Now let's get to the fun part." He said making a a kissy face and leaning in. "Oh please." I scoffed and put my finger up to his lips. I walked away leaving him alone in the janitors closet.

          "So listen I'm thinking of joining the cheerleading squad." I said munching on my fries as everyone in front of me just stares in shock. "Oh you can't do that." Maureen says bluntly.

            Lainie speaks up as well, "I have to agree Maggie, we aren't associated with the jocks and the cheerleaders." I look over at them across the lawn, observing the plastic looking girls with their perfect looking jock-boyfriends.

          "Plus their all bitches." Dinger says flatly, taking a drag from his cancer stick. "Well I just signed up for the volleyball team, and I think I might as well do cheering." Honestly it wouldn't be that bad of an idea. I mean I'm always jealous of every bimbo cheerleader on teen movies anyways.

        "Wait, your doing a sport with all those hot chicks in those tight ass shorts?" Dinger asks. I roll my eyes at honestly everything he says. "Yes I've done it since middle school." I say annoyed and the eyes keep rolling.

            "And that's not even the point! The point is I think it's a great idea to try something new, so I'm trying out right after school!"

               "Listen, we just warming you," Lainie starts. "Those cheerleaders will want you to do anything to prove to them that your as good as them." She continued to eat her taco. We'll see about that Lainie. Well just see.

This is just a dumbass filler and it was really boring but I swear the next one is going to be really good.
