I'm up before the sun.
Brandi won't wake for hours, and if I so much as creak the floorboards, she'll threaten my life for interrupting her beauty sleep.
I quietly pull my phone from my bag and scroll to my last conversation with Torri.
You are all I think about these days.
I never answered him.
Not because I didn't want to.
Because I had no idea what to say.
Do I tell him I love hearing that?
Do I admit I've been thinking about him too?
Or do I keep playing this ridiculous game we've created?
Part of me wonders if Torri would still chase me if I stopped making him work for it.
The thought makes my stomach twist.
I switch over to my other messages.
Nothing.
No new texts from my double-or-nothing guy.
Thank goodness.
Something about Randy feels... dangerous.
Not dangerous like he's going to hurt me.
Dangerous because he gets under my skin.
He pushes every button I have, and somehow I keep pushing back.
I still have no clue what he wants from me.
The scarier question?
I'm not sure what I want from him either.
Brandi finally rolls out of bed around ten looking like sunshine in human form.
Today is Kings Dominion day.
We both have season passes, and it's one of my favorite places to spend a Saturday.
I'm not a roller coaster person.
Give me carnival games, giant pretzels, and people-watching any day.
Brandi's sister drops us off at the front gate.
"I'll be back at nine sharp," she warns before we climb out. "If you're not standing right here..."
"You'll leave us," Brandi and I finish together.
She points at us.
"Exactly."
Six hours in the park.
Plenty of time.
We make our way toward the Eiffel Tower replica in the middle of the park, the unofficial meeting place for practically everyone. You can see it from almost anywhere.
We're waiting in line for the elevator when Brandi suddenly lights up.
I follow her gaze.
A counselor is giving instructions to a group of teenage boys.
Right in the middle of them...
Randy.
Gary.
Jake.
Tim.
Tommy.
Seriously?
Do these boys ever go anywhere without each other?
I sigh.
"Somehow, I think I just got played."
Brandi doesn't even look guilty.
