CHAPTER 6

Here's what have happened so far.

First, I refused to go to dinner with Ethan but we did get assigned to be partners in our Life Science project that involved taking care of a baby doll. The first time I left the doll alone in his care, he tossed into the air like a basketball and it got stuck in a tree. He got bitch slapped for that one.

Second, Don and Ethan were fucking related. They were cousins. What are the odds huh?

Third, Ethan had met mum. He'd just showed up unannounced at the house and Mum had been the one to let him in. For some reason, she liked him. That was a good thing because I was starting to like him too.

Fourth, Finn had recently lost his virginity to his girlfriend, making me the only virgin in our group. They made sure to point it out to me, saying they were waiting for me to join the 'dark side'. Fucking idiots.

Last but least ...

I was being tortured.

"And this and this and this." Chris added to the stack of clothes on my shoulder. Not that she was gonna buy them, she wanted to test them out, and then wonder if she should buy them or not. For another fucking hour.

Unfortunately, I have to stay here with her.

"Chris, how many dresses have you tried on?"

"I don't know I didn't count. Why'd you ask?"

"Cause that guy in uniform is threatening to kill you with his eyes."

Chris glanced over at him and sure enough the guy narrowed his eyes at her. She shrugged. "Fuck him."
Then she spent another half hour sorting out dresses and talking about how she'd totally do Ethan if given the opportunity. I forced myself to say nothing.

Two hours, fifteen dresses and two angry mall attendants later, she finally bought five, dragging herself and my half dead body out of the mall. Shopping is torture. Funny part is I didn't even grab anything for myself.

"No Chris I don't think its sweet to see lovers names carved in a tree. I think it's shocking how many people bring a knife on a date."

"But it's romantic!"

I sighed. "Romantic or not, I'm starving. We going to Griffin or what?"

The woman wasn't even paying me attention. She was searching the car frantically for something and she emerged, without it.

"I'm going back. I left my purse in the dressing room. Just give me five minutes."

As I expected, the five stretched into ten. At fifteen, I stormed in to know whatever the hell she was doing in there. I got a glimpse of her hair behind a rack and walked over to go all ape shit, totally unprepared for the scene I saw. Some guy had his hands on either sides of her, trapping her.

Not the I wanna flirt with you and I think this is a very fun position type of guy but the I'm gonna kill you but I'll have fun first type. She looked calm but I bet she was screaming in the inside. I wanted to help her but my legs wouldn't fucking move.

"We meet again redhead."

"I have a name you know. A name. Ever heard of it? It's what humans call their fellow ..."

"I know what a name is." He snapped.

"Good. I'm Christine and I'd advice you to fuck off. What's yours?"

"Not important."

She scoffed. "Well neither are you."

He looked angry but he grinned dangerously and lowered his lips to her ear. "I could hurt you, you know. I don't care if you're a girl or not."
