Unorthodox

The Walk

"Natalie? Natalie,rise and shine,baby sister." I opened my eyes,it was so bright so I squeezed them shut again,I managed to open two seconds later . Daren was kneeling beside my bed. "Hey."

"You hung over,sis?" He said,teasing me.

"Shut up." I giggled.

"You better get up."

"Why? What time is it?"

"1:00"

"Shit." I quickly sat up then ran into the bathroom. How could have I slept all that time? Was I that tired? I began to remember yesterday,which kind of something I didn't want to remember,actually.

Damn it! Jake. I can't believe he was about to kiss me,and I can't believe I turned him down! Yeah,I wasn't ready,but still. And why would he kiss me in the first place? I was too confused to think about it, so I put all the memories in the back of my head.

I got out of the bathroom, Daren was lying on my bed. Daren had dark blonde hair and light green eyes,unlike me. He was the cool,friendly guy who you would find in high school and college,he was nineteen,that is three years older than me. I'm kinda grateful for having him as my brother,because he'd treat you like you're his buddy,not older brother-younger sister bullshit.

"I wanna change,do you mind?" I said.

"Not at all." He got in the covers of my bed.

"Out!" We laughed as I pushed him out of the room. I grabbed a short faded-pink top,gray shorts and white Chuck Taylors,I love wearing Chuck Taylors.

"Damn,my sister's hot." Daren commented as I came out of my room.

"Okay,that is just weird."

"Thanks."

I went looking for my phone everywhere,since it wasn't in my room.

"What are you looking for?" Daren asked.

"My phone,have you seen it?"

"No."

"Good morning sweetie." Mom said as she got out of her room.

"Good morning,mom."

"What's up?"

"Can't find my phone."

"Well,where was the last time you saw it?" It all came back again to my head.

"Right,I gave it to the DJ yesterday."

"So,maybe Ivory got it for you?" Mom asked.

"Maybe,I'll give her a call." I reached for the hotel phone,and called her.

"Hello?"

"Hey,Ivy,it's Natalie."

"Oh,hey."

"Um,did you get my phone from that DJ yesterday?"

"No,I thought you got it back,so I didn't ask."

"Great." Where am I going to find him now?

"Sorry."

"No problem,I'll go look for the guy."

"Okay,do you want me to come look for him with you?"

"No,it's okay,I'll call you when I find him,though."

"Okay,gotta run now,talk to you later."

"Okay,bye." I hung up.

Hmm. Where the hell am I gonna find the guy?

"Well?" Daren asked.

"She doesn't have it."

"Damn."
