Who knew
I slowly opened my eyes as I woke to the sound of laugher and whispering. Turning my head to the right I saw a small bonfire with my friends around talking among themselves quietly. I saw two bonfires in sight that were starting with a flame.
One of them was a big one with all of the adults of the convoy, Carlos drinking a can of beer, Betty and LJ who were flirting with each other with Alice and Chase and Otto, Chris and Claire Redfield.
The other one I saw was around near the back of the abandon motel a littler one to the convoy's fire where I saw all of my friends, Dylan, jack, josh, matt and mason and 4 others sitting down on camping chairs. It was 10 feet away from the adult's fire since I knew it was better away from them.
We always placed our campfire at least 10 feet away from the main fire since we like to be left alone.
Moving into a sitting position from the leather back seats, I yawn and stretch my aching muscles from the long sleep that late afternoon.
Reaching for the door, I open it swiftly and jump off from the yellow hummer onto the warm smooth desert sand.
Closing the door softly and walking towards the laughing teenagers around there small fire. Picking up my feet so I don't make any sound when I'm walking over to them.
Turning my head I see the convoy haven't even notice me in the shadows as I quietly made my way over to the small fire. Good I thought as I smirk, getting closer to the voices surrounding the small fire.
Walking up to where jack was sitting with his back towards me, sneaking up to him with my ninja skills.
Coming to a silent stop behind him as I saw Dylan and matt spot me, quietly giving them the shh sign as they ignored me looking at jack listening to his scary story.
'And when she went to grab some cleaning wipes, she stood up and turned around and gasped as the intruder slit her-'
I quickly grabbed his neck in my left hand as I brought my right hand around and pretend to cut this throat making them jump and shit himself causing everyone the fire to laugh in amusement at him.
Letting him go as he turned and fell off his chair in fear and turning to look at me in confusion.
'Fucking hell Kmart!' that's not funny' he exclaimed out loud making everyone roar up in more laughter causing him to blush deeply.
'Oh yes it was' matt told him wiping his eyes from laughing so hard. Making me smirk at jack in victory.
'I think you just shit some bricks jack!' Dylan said causing another roar of soft laugher echoing in the campfire.
'Yeah maybe you shouldn't be telling stories like that since you get scared by a simple touch like Kmart did to you' josh explained to him getting nods from 4 of the boys in agreement.
Helping him up from the ground I grab his chair for him giving it to him before he whispered thanks to me.
Nodding my head in understanding why he wasn't talking much after I made him shit bricks, poor kid maybe I shouldn't of done that I thought feeling a bit bad about it, he will have nightmares about it now because of me.
'Hey k come sit down, we haven't seen you since lunch time, matt went to go get you to see you wanted to play a game of hide n seek but Claire wouldn't let him, she said you were sleeping' Dylan explained to me as he got my red chair and placed it next to him and matt around the circle.
Walking over to him as I sit down on the soft camping chair as I took a deep breath.
''I was really tired and exhausted so I kinder feel asleep' I told him giving him a nod as I looked at their faces.
''Understandable'' matt said under his breath before taking a slip from his energy drink.
''So do you think the leaders will ever figure it out?'' Dylan asked me quietly looking at the ground in silence.
Which caused most of everyone to look up at his question.
''No they are too dumb and don't ever have time to think about it so I wouldn't worry about it'' I explained to him looking at all of the boys as they nodded their heads in agreement and smirks at my comment.
''Well we can't just sit still in a car for over 2 hours Kmart it kills us to the bone you and I both know that so how can we sit still without giving hyperactive?'' Dylan asked me throwing me off guard.
''Tell me about it, just remember to think about thoughts that keep you from jumping out of the car and onto the road like I want to sometimes'' I told him giving them big smiles as I knew we all wanted to jump out of the cars after being in there for over 2 hours.
The thing was all of the boys, Dylan and matt, jack and josh and all of the others had ADD or ADHD like me but I don't have ADD.
I'm autistic with ADHD so it's very hard to cope with the moving and different places and I'm the only one that is autistic but all of the boys are ADHD or ADD.
The best part of it all none of the convoy leader's knows about it and they will never know. We try to control it but we just make reason and excuses for it to cover it all up.
Like 3 days ago matt got so frustrated by staying in the truck with Carlos and Chris, he pretend to be sick saying he was going to throw up and Carlos stopped in soon as the words left his mouth, all of the boys cheered in silent victory as we ended setting up camp because it was in the late afternoon.
Later when everyone was getting food we high fived matt and cheered them making him laugh as we were happy we weren't in a car on the road.
Last week Jack was riding in the ambulance, he was so annoyed with Betty and LJ flirting in the ambulance all the time and he got out big speakers and putt them to his ears and threaten them to shut up or make himself deaf so he didn't have to hear anyone of the bullshit they say to each other.
I got told by Dylan that Betty went white as a ghost and LJ was just speechless from it before ignoring Betty for the whole ride. But Claire heard about it before going off at him saying ''who does that?' before walking away from him.
I ran up to him and give the thumbs up before Claire came into my view causing me to drop my arms quickly and turning around before jogging off away from her.
I got in trouble later by Claire for encouraging him; I think the argument went for 25 minutes of Claire telling me not what to do. Wow was she angry at me she kept asking if I told him to do it.
''No I didn't'' I said as she turn and stomped off in frustration leaving me alone to think about what the hell I did wrong.
''Kmart you want a smoke''? I heard someone say to me causing me to come back from outta space.
Turning my head to see Dylan holding out a packet of smokes for me.
''Yeah thanks' I whisper to him softy as I was embarrassed to be in my own world again.
Silently reaching over, I grabbed a cigarette in my fingers and pulling it out from the folder packet.
Running it in my fingers as I took a deep breath in smelling the tobacco and mint causing me to relax my back/shoulder muscles at the smell.
Holding it up to my lips I turn to see Dylan reaching over and flicking his lighter on as he lit mine in silence. Just the way I like it
''So Kmart when are you just going to get the guts and jump Claire's bones?'' matt asked me causing some laughs from the boys while half just smirked knowing where this was going.
Taking a small puff and suck in the smoke breathing softy as I drawback, letting let a long tired breath of smoke.
Ever since I have turned 18 years old, I have this massive crush on Claire and it sucks because im with her everyday and it's hard not to get turned on when she hugs me.
''Why do you want to know in fact you can have her I don't want her'' I told him causing a small roar of laughter from the boys.
Looking at my cigarette burning the tobacco in my fingers slowly.
'Well it's like one minute she wants you and the next she doesn't even look at you like you don't exist'' matt explained to me causing me to nod my head in understanding.
''Well matt that's woman for you so if you want her be my guest she's all yours to share a room with' I told him taking a puff of my cigarette before letting smoke out of my mouth into the cold night air.
Cause really Claire wasn't bad to sleep with she just cuddled you to death and that's about it.
''Shit really?'' matt yelled in excited as I knew he was.
I nodded my head at him as I took another long puff from my cigarette before letting it burn til the end as I pushed it in the sand, letting it out as I finished it.
'How long have they been out there?'' I asked Dylan turning to give him a side look as I mentioned the convoy.
'8:30 and they haven't left only the kids and Otto checking on them every 15 minutes' Dylan explained to me quietly as he put out his cigarette in the sand beside me before giving me a side look and looking back to the ground in silence.
Nodding my head in understanding before asking another.
'So what's the time now?' I asked softy as I looked towards where I saw the smoke coming from the big fire.
'9:30' jack told me causing me to look up at the sound of his voice giving him a nod in thanks.
''Don't worry you didn't miss anything Kmart' matt explained to me causing me to smile in agreement.
'What was for tea?' I asked trying to sound interested but failed.
'Beans' all of them said at the same time in conclusion causing me to laugh at them. It's funny because I haven't really eaten anything since lunch time.
Hearing movement behind us, I turn around in my seat to see the convoy packing up for the night, Carlos was picking up the cans and Alice and Chris put away the chairs as LJ and Betty went to bed.
I saw someone walking towards me in the shadows as I couldn't see them but was soon followed by the others. I watched as they walked closer to me before stopping in front of me.
''Kmart its bed time come on'' I heard them say as I knew who it was. Claire redfield.
'Oh Claire Kmart said I could sleep with you tonight since she's not tired' matt told her causing the boys in laugh in amusement quietly but it didn't go unnoticed by Claire who shot me a cold stare.
'Oh did she well that's not going to happen matt! 'She's sleeping with me weather she wants to or not' Claire snapped at him causing him to shut up quick in a matter of seconds. Making me shrank in fear as I knew Claire was angry.
'Sorry matty boy only girls sleep with girls and boys sleep with boys it's the rule buddy but nice try though' Carlos told him making the boys laugh at him as he just blushed and walked off with the boys shoving him around.
Which made me alone with Claire in the dark, I just stared at the ground as I felt her eyes on me before she turned and started walking away silently as I followed behind her in silence since I didn't know what to say. I think I upset her, because when she ignores you that show's you have upset her.
I see her turn and enter a room before closing the door with a soft shut. Yep I know when a girl needs her space, so I thought I better give her space.
Fucking hell matt way to make this night any worse than it has to be you fucking asshole now Claire thinks I don't want to sleep in the same room with her let alone like it.
What am I going to do; she must really be upset by it. She must hate me now after hearing it from him.
Turning around as I walk back the way I came slowly shuffling my feet along the concrete floor in silence. I turned and walked up the dirt road kicking sand on the way towards the yellow hummer.
I picked up some stones and threw them as I watched them skip over the desert hills before disappearing from sight.
I reached the hummer and opened the door in silence as I knew Claire was upset with me. Hopping into the passenger's seat before closing the door quietly.
I grabbed my bag and opened it to get my iPod and put my earphones in before listening to music.
A couple of sad songs came on but I never really understand the lyrics so I didn't complain about it.
After 6 minutes, I got bored and pulled out a motorbike magazine from my backpack and opening it up to read a few articles.
I read up to 8 pages of information on dirt bikes and how to maintain them. I checked the time on my iPod and it said 9:55pm so I had been reading for 15 minutes. Should I go and see Claire now or wait a little longer or just sleep here tonight.
After 3 minutes arguing with my mind I placed my magazine in my bag and my iPod in my front pocket of my bag. Opening the hummer door, I jump down and close it as I walk towards the room where Claire entered. What if she doesn't want to see me? Is she crying? Oh god I can't stand people crying I just get so awkward.
Before I knew it I was standing in front of the door, raising my hand to knock on the door but deciding against it. I quietly opened the knob and stepped in as I tyred to adjust to the dark.
'Claire' I whisper softy as I hated the dark.
I only hear soft breathing 5 feet away from me as I just see her in bed with a box of tissues around her. She was crying because what I said god I'm such a fucking brainless emotionless fucking robot how I could be so stupid. I should be the one crying but I can't cry.
Turning around I softy close the front door as the room gets darker when it's shut. Walking over to her I take off my boots and t-shirt and pants just leaving me in my boxes and singlet. Lifting the covers up as I slid in bed next to her before she notices and cuddles into me like a soft teddy bear.
She moved until she was half on top of me cuddling into the side of me, nuzzling her face in my neck with her arms around my whist and chest.
