You Don't Know..What you Don't Know

Chapter Ten: Summer

I am up early the next morning and pull out my phone. Brandi won't wake for hours yet and she hates it when I move around. The sun is barely up so I know she will get pissed if she is stirred from her beauty rest.  I scroll to my last text message with Torri. "You are all I think about these days." I didn't know how to respond last night so I fell asleep. Torri thinking about me all the time leaves me so confused. Do I feed into him and tell him I love that he thinks about me or do I keep up this cat and mouse game going? The feeling I have is Torri, wouldn't act this way without the chase.

There are no more messages from my double or nothing guy. Thank God. I have this bad feeling, he is real trouble for me.  I don't exactly know what he wants from me. I think he only wants to play with my mind. Don't know what I want from him either though and that's confusing.

Bran wakes up around 10 in a sunny disposition.  We dress to head to Kings Dominion today. Kings Dominion is a popular amusement park and we have season passes. I don't ride the roller coasters but I like playing the games and walking around. The park is older with a carnival feel.  Brandi's sister drops us off at the entrance and tells us she will be back at 9 pm sharp. We better be out here or she will leave us.  Six hours is plenty of time to hit my favorite spots.  

Brandi and I head to the Tower in the center of the park. This is also a place where groups meet.   It can be seen from every location. We are waiting in line to go up the elevator when Brandi breaks out in a smile. Standing to my left, a counselor is explaining to a group of boys the rules for the day. In the center of the group is Randy, Gary, Tim, Jake and Tommy. These boys do anything without each other?

"Somehow I think I just got played." I roll my eyes at Brandi.

"Get over it Tia. It's a free country and they can go wherever they want." She snaps.

"Love you too, Bran" I roll my eyes again.

We step on the elevator and head up to the top of the tower.  I don't like heights but this view is breathtaking. You can see the whole park from here. We are pretty high up so I stay close to the wall.  Brandi is anxious to go down before the boys leave so we are only up there a few minutes before she hits the down button on the elevator.

The doors open and out steps the crew with Randy in the lead. "Well Princess, I thought you liked castles and not towers."

"Whatever, Bran you coming?" I sneer. I don't know why I let him get to me.  She looks at me like I have two heads so I let the doors close to the elevator.

"Princess, you decided to stay with the peasants." Randy mocks from behind me.  I go on ignoring him because there isn't anything else to do and prop my leg up on the wall. Jake slides in next to me.

"Didn't know you be here today?" Jake bumps my shoulder.

Back at you kiddo. "I didn't know you be here today either." I reply.

"Maybe we can hang together, Tia." Jake asks hopeful.

"I don't know about that I don't ride rides with drops. You wouldn't  like to ride what I like." Typically, I don't tell people.  I want him to know what he's signing up for.

"Oh Princess, you get scared on the big bad rides. We will hold your hand." came Randy's voice from around the corner. He is obviously ease dropping.  I choose to ignore him again and hit the button for down. 

"Hey Bran, I'm going down. Meet you at the bottom." Jake chimes in with " I'll come with you and keep you company." Jake and I ride down the elevator and start laughing at this old couple in the corner. They are making out. The couple must be in their 70s.  Jake and I burst through the door laughing. We are laughing so hard when Brandi and the others come down, we are crying.
