I rubbed my eyes as the lightning flashed and the thunder roared in one of the little neiborhoods in Virginia Beach,Virginia.I hoped the storm would clear soon.If not,the race would be canceled,which would royaly suck on ice.It was Thurseday night.Well,maybe Friday morning.I didn't know and I really didn't feel like looking for my phone just to find out.I had no clock in my room.I didn't need an alarm in the mornings.The sun was my alarm clock.Even if the sun wasn't up,my body was used to getting up at a certain time.Therefore,no clock needed.I sighed.I could hear my mother walking through the hall.I rolled over and shut my eyes,pretending to be asleep.My bedroom door opened with an eerie creaking."Lily,"my mother called through the darkness.I stayed still.She sighed and shut the door.When I heard the click of my door,I got up and threw on my favorite outfit.Skinny jeans,Skull shirt and black and pink Converses.It was more pink then I'd have liked but it looked good on me.I opened my window as quietly as I could.When it was finally open,I jump down to the ground.I shut the window to the point where there was only an inch opened.I ran into the storm.I liked running,even though I was becoming soaked in the proccess of running.I ran anyway.When I got to Danny's house,Momma opened the door before I even reached the porch.I smiled up at her.She smiled back and handed me a towel.I dried off as fast as I could."Your hair's down,"she commeted.I looked at her confused."Your hair,"she smiled."It's down.It's always up in a ponytail."I smiled at her and said,"Oh.""Danny,Jacob and Taylor are in the den.""Thank you,"I said over my shoulder,heading towards the den.When I got into the den,the three boys looked over at me,smiled and waved.I smiled back.I went over to Danny,sat on his lap,kissed his cheak and ruffled his already,naturally,messy,black hair.His pale skin and deep,green eyes made him look alittle vampire-ish."Too bad Danny's gay,huh,Lily?"Jacob laughed.I roled my eyes."Dany's not gay,"I defended."No!Dan's not gay!"Taylor said,then continued,"Just gayish."Jacob and Taylor burst out laughing."Your hair's down,"Danny stated."Your point?"I asked."The point is:It's always up,"Taylor and Jacob said together."Alright,Dorkamese twins."Danny laughed as Taylor and Jacob glared at me for calling them by their nicknames.Taylor and Jacob threw popcorn at us.Danny and I looked at eachother,nodded,and began throwing chips.Then,the fight erupted.Empty soda cans,popcorn,chips and pizza crust went flying around the room.We all laughed.Danny and I lost the food fight.I put my hands up in a surrendering motion.Taylor through one last piece of pizza crust at me.We all smiled and laughed.Then,the smells surronded us.Bacon,eggs,toast and pancakes came to us.We followed our noses and growling stomachs to the kitchen.We practically threw eachother into every wall we could on the way there.We took our normal seats at the end of the table.I sat on Danny's left and Taylor sat to his right.Jacob sat next to Taylor."Where's everyone?"I asked Danny.Taylor answered."Well,since Momma just finished cooking,they should be here in-""Hey, Momma!"everyone yelled,entering the kitchen."-Zero seconds,"Jacob finished.I laughed and Danny rolled his eyes.Isabella sat next to me with Alex at her side.They had their hands intangled.I smiled at them and rolled my eyes as Ronny started asking Momma out,which was his daily routine."When will you realize age doesn't matter to me?"he asked Momma."And when will you realize that you are just too young for me?"she qeustioned back."But, Momma-"She cut him off."Besides,"she smiled,"You only want me for my cooking."Ronny sat down with a sigh.Taylor and Jacob laughed at his failed attempt,which made their eyes sparkle in union.Jacob and Taylor aren't really twins.They don't even look alike.Taylor was a dark skin Indian boy with dark brown hair and almost black eyes.Jacob was a little white boy.He had blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes.Taylor was mucle guy.Jacob was skinny and lanky.They acted almost the same though and just about never argued.Ronny had dark,burnt looking black skin.His eyes were pitch black and he had his hair braided across his head.He was skinny but had mucles to protect anyone who messed with any of us.Not that any of us,except Isabella,our spanish,green eyed,brunette,couldn't protect ourselves.We were all preety strong and fit.Isabella was fit,just not all that strong.Ronny didn't need to protect Izzy(Isabella) though.That's what she had Alex for.Alex had sunburnt,white skin,brown hair and gray eyes.Chase had dark brown skin and pale brown eyes.Chase is bald.If you're wondering,yes,all the guys were preety good looking.Izzy was a beauty,and I was just a normal,blonde hair,blue eyed,pale skinned,white girl with nothing better to do than get into trouble with anyone she could.Nothing speical about me except I was a total tomboy.That thought made me smile though.Brad looked at me with his questioning eyes that all the girls liked so much.He had Spanish looking skin,but he was white,with a black attitude.I made fun of him for it all the time.He always said that God made him multi-cultural for a reason.That had always made me smile.He had light brown eyes and dark brown hair."What?"I asked him.Well,technically,I asked his eyes.Everyone got quiet and looked at us."Your hair,"he said."What about it?"I asked him."It's not up,"he said."Thank you,Captin DUH!"I stated.Everyone bust out laughing."I like your hair down,"Danny told me again.I smiled at him.Momma turned on the radio.The music began blaring through the speakers and I smiled as I reconized the song.I began singing along and everyone smiled as I sang."What?"I asked,noticing everyone looking at me."You can sing!"Dorkamese twins (Jacob and Taylor) said in union."I think y'all are confused,"I said to them.Everyone went back to eating and talking amongst eachother.I looked around and caught Danny staring at me."What?"I asked him."Nothing,"he said,turning to his food.I rolled my eyes.I ate bacon and eggs.I didn't want anything else.Isabella and Alex were being too lovy-dovy towards eachother.I pretended to gag and everyone began making fun of them.I laughed and left the room when I thought noone was paying any attention.I headed up to Danny's room,which is where I usually slept,right next to Danny,every night.I kicked off my shoes and spread out on the bed.Danny came in a few moments later.I smiled at him as he took his spot next to me.He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to his cheast.I curled up against him and smiled."How are you?"he asked me."I'm fine,"I lied."Tell the truth,"he smiled."Why do I even try to lie to you?"I dirrected the question at my self more than I did him.He didn't answer."No,"I said truthfully."I'm not fine.""What's wrong?"he asked gently."My mother had just gotten home when I left the house,"I answered."Did she catch you sneaking out?"He sounded worried."No,"I told him."I waited untill after she cheaked on me to leave.""Oh."He sounded pleasent again.I looked up at him and smiled.He smiled back at me.I leaned against him again,turning my face so he couldn't see me."This is my favorite place,"I whispered to him."My house?"he questioned."No,"I laughed."Where then?"he asked.I looked up at him,trying to read his expression."Anywhere that you are,"I finally answered.He smiled at me and bent in to kiss my lips.Before he could however..."Hey guys!What's up?"Brad,Chase and Ronny yelled,entering the room.I must have looked really angry because they backed off quickly."Opps.""Sorry."They left the room as quickly as they came."Now,"Danny smiled,sitting up with me."Where were we?"I asked.He smiled and bagan leaning towards me again.Right then... "What's going on y'all?"Alex and Jacob came in."OUT!"Danny yelled,poiting towards the door.They left,looking alittle shocked."Oh my gosh!"I groaned sadly."They will never leave us alone.""We're alone now,"Danny said."Hmm,"I hummed.This time,I leaned towards him.Before our lips met... "Hey!"Taylor and Isabella interupted."GO AWAY!"Danny yelled as I threw pillows in their dirrection.Isabella and Taylor ducked away from the pillows and ran out the door, slamming it in the proccess of leaving.I plopped my head against the only pillow left on the bed and covered my face with my hands.Danny laid his head next to mine.I uncovered my face and turned towards him.He looked at me at the same time.We sat there for a second,just looking at eachother,and then Momma walked in."Hi,Momma,"I smiled.She picked the pillows I had thrown at everyone up and threw them at us.Danny and I put the two pillows in thier places and laid down."Good night, My Darling and My Angel."Danny and I smiled at our nicknames and said goodnight.Danny and I got under the covers and I laid across his cheast."Goodnight, Mi Amor,"(My Love in spanish)I said to Danny."Goodnight, Mi Mascota Pequeña,"(My Little Pet in spanish)Danny replied.I fell asleep in his arms and I wished to never have to leave him.But,six o'clock,Friday morning came.Danny left for Redford H.S.,where he would meet Taylor,Brad and Alex and I left for Mount Pete's High where I could find Isabella,Jacob,Ronny and Chase.I drove myself to school in my FORD 150 red truck.It took about half an hour to get there.My Jojo cd played as I drove through the traffic,hitting every red light on the way.Then,half way there,some guy on a motorcycle cut me off.Then,he decided that he wanted to go to the same place as me,and drove as slow as a motorcycle could go.Finally, when I got to the parking lot, when I was about to park in my usual spot, he jumped into my spot."That's it,"I yelled to myself.I got out of my car and turned on him.I couldn't think of any curse word off the top of my head,along with the fact that I don't curse,so I yelled,"Jerk face."He was taking off his helmet.His blonde,skater-styled hair,fell onto his face.His green-brown,hazel eyes,looked at me.I had to stop and remind myself to breathe when I saw him.He wore a leather jacket, just like me.He had full,dark pink lips,which were partially opened.He stared at me, and I stared back.I shock my head and remembered that I was angry."You took my parking space,"I stated,not being able to look him in the eye."oh,"he said,not looking in my eyes either,"I'm sorry."Neither of us moved. |
