When I walk out of the building the wind whips through my hair. I slide my bag around my back and onto my shoulders then get into the car. Before I pull out Mary and Mark come to my window.
"What?" I ask.
"I think Parker likes you!" Mary squeals.
I shake my head blankly and she tilts her, "He went out of his way to shake your hand."
"If he hadn't already seen me he wouldn't have." I mumble under my breath.
"What?" Mark asks.
"Nothing, it's not true." I say.
"Okay then." Mary says sarcastically.
"Bye." I say pulling out.
When I pull into the driveway the group chat notifies me.
Hey - P
Hey - Mary
Hi - Cat
What's up? - Mark
Where's Ellie? - P
Probably at her spot - Mark
What spot? - P
Nope - Me
She is - Mark
Shut up, I'm not - Me
*Sends picture of house*
I turn my phone off and walk into my house. It's quiet so my mom is probably sleeping, I walk up stairs and plop on my bed.
Hey - Anonymous
Hi - Me
How're you? - Anonymous
Horrible, this guy is so annoying! - Me
Who? - Anonymous
A guy at my school. - Me
Okay, how about you try to talk to him? - Anonymous
Maybe, but for now I'm headed to my spot - Me
Okay - Anonymous
I slide my phone into my pocket and slip my jean jacket on. Getting into the car I turn the radio up and pull out of the driveway.
I was planning on just going to sleep until I got to my lonely room.
I hum along with the songs until I get to the park and get my snacks.I climb to the top of the slide and get onto the roof like usual. I sit with my knees by my chest while snacking on my gummy bears. My phone pings in my pocket so I pull it out and check my notifications.
The park - Mark
Which one? - P
Not telling, sorry dude but that's all I can say so she doesn't kill me -Mark
I groan and turn off my phone. Why would he tell him? It doesn't matter, it's not like he'll find out which one.
I set my phone next to me and watch the sunset.
"Liz?" I hear a voice ask.
I look back and see Parker standing at the bottom. Rolling my eyes I turn towards him and hold my arms up.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I wanted to talk to you." He says.
"Good luck." I say.
He begins to climb up the latter until sitting next to me. I groan and set my head on my knees.
"What're you doing up here?" He asks.
"Whatever I want," I say, "I like it up here."
"Your not afraid?" He asks.
I shake my head and pop a gummy in my mouth.
"It's pretty cool up here." He says.
I nod and stand, I walk the small wood plank then hop down.
"Daredevil." He says.
I slide down the green tube and begin to walk to my car. I look up at him and he waves before I pull out of the parking lot.
Bye - NEW NUMBER
I quickly type in a name for the contact. When I'm done it's set as "The Hart kid." I giggle before texting back.
Bye - Me
When I get home the sun has disappeared, I quickly get to my room and change. I just slip my shirt off and leave my shorts on. Covering up things run through my mind, questions, events, people.
"Honey?" My mom knocks on the door.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Where were you?" She asks.
"I was at my spot." I say.
"All alone in the dark?" She asks worried.
I sit up smiling, "No, It was sunset and I wasn't alone."
"With who?" She asks.
"A... friend." I say.
She nods before turning and closing the door behind her. I turn off the lights and click on the TV to fall asleep to.
The good news is it couldn't get anymore fucked up than it already is.
Or so I thought.
