JOHNNY ORLANDO

"Did she talk to you yet?" Lauren asks me, walking into the kitchen.

"Actually, no, not yet." I reply.

She sits across me in the dining table.

"I wonder what happened." She spoke.

"Well, every time I try to talk to her, she looks at me like she does wanna talk so..." I tell her.

"Have you tried making the first move?" Lauren asks.

I gave her a confused look.

"Not in that way, Johnny." Lauren says. "Like, have you tried walking up to her. Start your conversations or something?"

"Oh, yeah, multiple times." I tell her.

"What happened?" She asks.

"She just glared at me." I say. "And that's a sign that I shouldn't push myself to her limits."

"Yeah..." Lauren says. "Who knows what the devil inside her can do."

"Yeah, been through worse." I spoke.

She gives me a 'what do you mean' look.

"Nevermind." I say. "Forget everything I said, yeah?"

I got up and headed to my room.

"You coming tonight?" Hayden asks me.

"Uh, yeah, sure." I reply.

I just agreed to go to the party because it's not like I have anything more fun to do.

"Cool, I'll see you there." Hayden says before walking away.

What are you thinking, Johnny?

You really think going to a party to get yourself wasted is the best thing you could do at the moment?

Instead of talking to Annie? Really?

My conscience's really disappointed. Shit.

Time skip: at the party

"Hey dude!" Hayden greets.

I give him a smile and walked towards him.

"You getting drinks or what?" He asks.

"Maybe later." I reply.

"Oohh, hot chick." He says. "Gotta go."

He walks away and I roll my eyes. There he goes again.

"Hey man, didn't think you'd come. What changed?" Carson says as he tapped my shoulder.

I look at him.

"Usually, you wouldn't attend parties." He explains. "I'm guessing you and Annie are still not on talking terms?"

"We weren't even fighting." I tell him. "Besides, how'd you know?"

"Literally everyone was talking about it earlier at school. But ut seems to me, topics fade away immediately." He says. "It's not too big of a deal."

"Not too big of a deal." I spoke. "Carson, that's Annie you guys are talking about. She could do anything."

"Yeah-" Carson says.

"When I say anything, I mean, anything." I tell him. "She could kill you, me, her family...even herself."

"Woah, dude, chill out." He says. "Must really care about her to know what she's capable of."

"She's different." I tell Carson.

"Well, I gotta go." He says. "Party's not gonna stay forever. You gotta live life, you know? Not get controlled over by someone."

And by that he walks away.

Not get controlled over by someone.

If I stood up from Annie....I wonder how that would feel.
