Tossed

chapter 2

Claire's POV

"No we aren't going" i say through the phone.

My friend Bri is bickering because she wished that i would've accepted his invite.

"You can go if you like. All they need is more people watching"

"Why dont you want to go? It's just seeing people perform" she says.

"I just don't like those guys. They think they're better than everyone else and think they can get any girl" i say.

"whatever. i'm going" she says then we hang up.

I grab my phone and head out into the living room.

I look in the kitchen to find my mom on her knees cleaning up whatever is on the ground.

"This stupid ass dog keeps shitting everywhere" she says groaning.

I cover my mouth to hold back my laughter.

"Take that dog out for a walk" she says.

I turn on my heels and walk to my room. I get dressed in just shorts and my Arctic Monkeys t-shirt that i made.

I throw my hair into a bun and dont bother putting on make up.

I slip on my black toms and walk outside from my garage.

I plug in my earphones and slip my phone into my pocket.

I'm listening to Miss Jackson by Panic At The Disco.

I walk up my sidewalk listening to my playlist that includes music by Nirvana, Panic! At The Disco, Arctic Monkey, and some korean music.

I hum to the beat and stop walking when my dog stops to piss in someones front yard.

I close my eyes and rock my head back and forth.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and i snap around. It scared the shit out of me.

"Hey" says the dark skinned boy from yesterday. He smiles and i take out my earphones.

"You scared me again" i say releasing the breath that i was holding.

He chuckles.

I look past his head to see tons of people dancing in someones drive way. I look behind the dancing freaks and see three boys singing a PATD (panic at the disco) song.

I see the familiar blonde boy playing the guitar and singing.

"You're more than welcome to come and watch us perform" he says smiling and digging his hands into his pockets.

"I told you i'm not interested.." i say with a small voice. "and i'm on a mission" i say and raise my dogs leash.

I look into the crowd again and see my two friends, Bri and Ash, dancing.

It isnt even dancing. It's jumping up and down and pounding their fists and rocking their heads and whipping their hair around.

I sigh.

I look up at the dark skinned boy and just realized that he is still standing there and staring at me.

I clear my throat and he finally detatches his eyes from me. He was probably staring off into space.

"C'mon" he says and before i know it he is dragging me across the street by my wrist.

I'm standing on his curb now behind the crowd of people.

I pick up my dog and stand next to Bri and Ash.

"Oh hey! I thought you'd never make it!" yells Ash over loud speakers.
