Creep

Chapter Six

You could be my unintended. Choice to live my life extended.~ Muse

Bernice and I then scurried to the window. The snow was already about nine inches deep, and was accumulating quickly. There was no way that we were getting home that night.

"May I use your telephone please?" I requested toward Ethan.

"Sure." She said pointing in the direction of the object.

I called up Mom and told her that there was no way that we were able to get home. I mean we could have shoveled our way home, but 1.) That takes a lot of energy and 2.) I kind of didn't want to leave.

My mom said that she understands, and that she wants us to stay safe because only God knows how long we will be there. Then, we got disconnected.

"How am I ever going to see Julian?" Bernice complained.

They just got together, and she makes it seem like they've been dating for years.

No one gave her an answer, she was getting real irksome, she gets like that sometimes, but usually not too often.

"Okay," Ethan began, "it doesn't look like my parents are getting home anytime soon, so...let's have some fun. Play some slumber party games!"

She didn't seem too bum about not getting to see her parents. She didn't even seem worried about where they were, or what could have happened to them. But, that's not any of my business.

"How about truth or dare?" Suggested Bernice.

"Okay!" Agreed Ethan.

Wow, Truth or Dare? How predicable.

So, what we sat ourselves around in a circle, well triangle. Ethan started off the game, she gets very excited about this kind of stuff.

"Um, Henderson" she pointed, "truth or dare?"

This is a very difficult question to answer, because on one hand you may have to tell one of your most deepest and darkest secrets. On the other hand, you might have to seriously embarrass or injure yourself. I ended up going with, "Truth."

"Are you a virgin?"

I should've picked dare. "Uh, no no...me? Oh, I have sex all the time pfff." I joked.

Ethan cracked up. Which I thought was weird because I just copied what I said from a film I recently saw.

"Okay Henderson your turn to ask someone."

"Uh, Ethan...tr-truth or dare?"

"I am so lazy right now, sooo truth." She giggled.

"What was the name of your first kiss, a-and how old were you?"

"I was fourteen," she started slowly, "and her name was Annette."

Bernice and I both gave each other a look of shock.

Then Ethan continued, "Now don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not gay or anything, but she was."

"So, how did she end up kissing you?" Asked Bernice.

"Well, she was telling me how she wasn't feeling any 'sparks' in her relationship with her boyfriend Quentin. When I asked her why, she told me how she really felt, and started to kiss me." Ethan explained.

"You didn't stop her?"

"Nah, I let her get it all out of her system."

I know this should be very abnormal for me to say, but I liked the way Ethan handled the situation. It was very unique and quite mature. I don't know what I'd do if someone did that to me, I'd probably jump up and push them off of me, because that's really awkward.
