× Dead In The Water ×

"I'm begging don't let me drown in this ocean. Take time out in the open. We could be high, if you be mine. I'm dead in the water without you."

      I walked through the crowd of sweaty highschool kids and to my locker. Zane was already next to me digging in his locker.

     "Can you believe Mrs. Jackson gave us homework. It's literally English class, a language I've been speaking for 18 years. The old hag needs to get laid. Maybe then she'd lean back." He said and I laughed.

       "The flaw of that statement is the fact that you'd have to find someone willing to have sex with her." I said and he laughed.

       "I'm gay and I'd bang her if it kept me from doing homework." I snorted from laughing so hard.

        "Hey" Gabbie said from behind me. I jumped as her voice scared me.

     "Damn girl. I didn't even hear you. You move like a prius." I laughed and she smiled nervously.

     "haha yea, so here's the sitch. I can't drive you home. I know I said I would but I got detention for mouthing off Mr. Nash about his hooker girlfriend and he got pissed. But I fixed the problem by finding you a new ride."

       I felt someone put there arm around me and I jumped.

     "Don't jump doll, it's just me. Your fave member of the squad." He said. I shrugged his arm off of me.

     "Ehh, my favorites are probably Zane and Gabbie. But don't worry. Your a close 4th." I said. If he thinks he can tease me I'll tease him right back.

      He put his arm around me and started to walk to his car. I waved bye to gabbie and zane as David got really close to my ear. "I'll be your favorite. Even if it's the last thing I do."

        I shivered agina from his voice so close to me. I think he noticed that because when I looked up at him, he was smirking.

______________________

      We pulled up to my house and stopped. He turned off the car and faced me. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

         "You dropped this in the treehouse earlier. I didn't think you wanted everyone else to know about it so I thought I'd give it to you in private. And ask you why you do that."

     I climbed out of the car and leaned down to look at him.

     "You can come in if you promise not to preach to me about 'how unhealthy it is'." I said and he smiled.

      "Even though it's very unhealthy I'm not gonna refuse an offer to come into a cute girls house." He unbuckled his seat belt and climbed out of his black prius.

       I unlocked the door and my pug Delilah came and greeted us. She sniffed Davids shoe before barking happily at him.

    "That's weird. She never likes new people. It took her forever to stop growling at Ethan." I said walking to the fridge and grabbing a water bottle.

      "What can I say. I'm pretty likable." He said leaning down to pet her. That scene right there was cute enough to die.

      "We can go up to my room but no funny business. It's just that, that TV has Netflix and this one does not." I said. I tried to make sure he knew nothing was gonna happen but by the way he was looking at me I dont think he got the message.

      We ran upstairs and I opened the door to my room. He sat down on this rolly black chair I had and I sat on the edge of the bed. Delilah hopped up on his lap and he caught her. Which is very surprising considering how much she weighs.

     I snapped a picture of him and my baby. Then he started looking around the room and I realized I probably should've cleaned up my meal replacement bottles before we just ran up here. I didn't even know him that well yet. He could easily tell everyone that I'm some freak with an eating disorder.

       But, if he did see the bottles he chose not to act like it. He simply commented on my numerous instruments.

     "So do you sing or something." He said and I laughed a bit.

      I didn't want to just brag but he did ask so I went for it "I play 5 instruments, sing in 3 octaves, and have been dancing since I was 4. My dad was a big music person so I was always picking up new things to impress him." I said grabbing my baritone ukulele off my bed and hanging it back on its spot on the wall.

      "So I meant to do this earlier but it totally slipped my mind." Next thing I know my dog is out of his lap, walking out of the room and his voice is right next to my ear agian. He seemed to like to put it there.

      "Look David I don't know what your trying to do but I just met you today and I've had some bad experiences with high school guys so I need you to take a step back." I said turning around and there he was, right behind me. He was really close. I could see every feature of his face. I pushed him back before I did something.

     "Okay for one, whatever those  jerks you went to school did to you I wouldn't treat you like that. And two, I was gonna invite you to a party that Todd is throwing tommorow. His parents are out of town and he's got a karaoke bar and everything. It's gonna be great."
  
      I thought about it for a sec. On the one hand, I barely know these guys. On the other, all of them are really hot and look like they know. how to party. I know I would say no considering that I just moved to this town but.....

      Maybe it was hearing Ethan unlock the door downstairs and knowing he would want me to go. Maybe it was seeing the picture of my dad on the desk and knowing that he wouldn't want me inside morning him all weekend. Maybe it was how close me and David were standing at the time.

     I don't know exactly what it was but something made me say, "I'll go but don't expect any funny business or me to sing in front of people."

      "You can't take away both. You have to do atleast one." David smirked. He was gonna kill me and I've haven't even known him for 24 hours.
