11:11 P.M.

"It's only us,

It's only now,

A simple wish,

It's so late tonight."

I woke up the next morning feeling a little better. I mean I have yet to hear from or see Derrick Harrington, but I met Kemp and Josh and hung out with them yesterday and we had a lot of fun. They are the kind of people you can just goof off and be stupid with. I decided to head down to the beach and relax and maybe be able to hang out with them again. I almost forgot about Derrick…almost. I took a shower and put on my green cheetah printed string bikini and put white jean shorts on and my leather flip-flops. I decided to leave my hair down stick straight and had my Yankees hat firmly on my head. I went downstairs and found a note on the kitchen counter.

Hey sweetie! It's your mom. Richard and I are going shopping all day so we probably won't see you till tonight. Have fun at what you usually do!

Mom

I rolled my eyes at the note. Typical, I thought. And she had to make it known at the beginning of the note it was her like I wouldn't know. I mean seriously. There isn't anyone else in the house but her, Richard, and me.And like always she goes out leaving me to fend for myself. That's how it has always been for me though so I was used to it.

I got down to the beach and stretched out on a lawn chair soaking up the sun. I laid there for a while barely moving but it was getting pretty boring so I took out my book, Catcher in the Rye, to read. I finished reading Pride and Prejudice so I decided to just go down my list of favorite books to read. I was concentrating down on my book when all of the sudden I feel a whoosh of wind and my hat flying off. I immediately put my hands to my head in disbelief that my hat could actually just fly off my head. I then heard a chuckle from behind me that made me jump. I jerked around to see where the voice was coming from and Derrick Harrington was standing over me smiling his crooked smile down at me. I felt my heart start racing at the sight of him. He was actually here! Flesh and blood! I just sat there in shock looking up at him. Then it hit me like a wave remembering how he didn't contact me in four days and I felt myself starting to frown.

He seemed to notice my change of mood. "Sorry about the last few days. My dad grounded me because I came back so late," Derrick said rolling his eyes at what he said.

So he was grounded. I felt a little relief that he didn't just deliberately not want to talk to me. I felt myself perking up a little bit at the thought. "You forgive me?" he asked still standing above me.

"Yeah it's all good," I replied smiling.

"Good," he said smiling as he came around the chair and sat in front of me facing me. "So I would have to say this hat looks so much better on me. Don't you think?" he asked teasing.

I smiled, "Not a chance. I mean look at me," I said teasing pointing to myself. Derrick laughed, "Can't argue with that," he replied.

I smiled looking down at my hands. "So I heard you hung out with Kemp and Josh yesterday," Derrick finally said breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah Kristen and I met them at the boardwalk yesterday, and we decided to ride some rides together. I didn't like the roller coaster too much, but I was practically forced," I rambled on and smiling remembering that day. I really didn't like that roller coaster but it was a lot of fun hanging out with all of them. I think by the end of the summer we will all be really good friends.

"Yeah I heard about that," Derrick said laughing, "I wish I could have been there," he said. I looked at him to see him a little sad. "Yeah it would have been fun. We should all hang out sometime," I said trying to cheer him back up.

"Yeah we should," he said, a smile returning to his face, "what about we all hang out today?" he asked.

"Sure," I replied. I didn't have anything else to do and it does sound like a lot of fun.

"Awesome," Derrick said smiling as he took out his phone, "I'll ask Kemp and Josh. I don't have Kristen's number so could you tell her?" he asked as he started texting. "Sure," I replied back taking out my phone to text Kristen.

After about ten minutes everyone was here. Kristen got here first wearing a blue and grey Silence and Noise Colorblock Tunic Tank and jean short shorts with silver gladiator sandals. She came running up and engulfing me into a hug with her signature-excited smile on her face. Josh had on khaki cargo shorts and a blue polo that made his blue eyes pop to where it was almost hard to look at him, and Kemp was wearing boarder shorts and a plain white v- neck shirt. We all said hey to each other giving everyone hugs and started to decide what we wanted to do today.

"How about we watch a scary movie," Kemp said smiling.

"Dude that's to boring. We need to do something active and exciting," Josh said back.

"You are only saying that because you act like a little pansy when it comes to scary movies," Kemp said laughing and started acting out Josh. He put his nails in his mouth and his eyes got really wide. He then screamed and started fake crying.

"You are so immature and I don't act like that," Josh said defending himself and shoving Kemp. Kemp just laughed, "Sure you don't," Kemp said rolling his eyes and shoving back.

"Guys!" Derrick said breaking them up, "I have a better idea."

"What is it?" Kemp and Josh said in unison.

"Follow me," Derrick said as he started to walk towards his house. I quickly put on my black and white BDG Contrast Trim Henley so I wouldn't have to be walking around in just my bikini.

We all followed Derrick to his house and he grabbed the car keys of the blue convertible in the garage and told us to hop in.

"Will you get in trouble for taking the car?" Josh asked worried.

"No, my parents are gone for a couple of days so they will never know," Derrick said smiling mischievously.

"Do you even have your license?" I asked starting to freak out about this idea.

"I'm only fifteen so no," Derrick said smiling rolling his eyes, "Don't be such a worry wart. Everything will be fine," Derrick said teasing. I just sighed and hopped in the back between Kristen and Kemp. Josh called shotgun saying he gets carsick in the back. I don't believe that but I don't care that much. Kemp just called Josh a girl and that started their usual fights up. They finally calmed down when we got out of the driveway and on the main road.

The entire drive was nerve-racking considering Derrick didn't have a license and we were going fifteen over the speed limit down the narrow road. I kept my eyes shut and my mouth sealed shut basically the whole time. Kemp was laughing at me and making fun of my scared expression the whole ride.

We finally stopped where the road ended. Trees were engulfing us from the sides as if to hide us from the sun. In front of us was a small dirt road that looked like it went on for miles. We all got out of the car just looking around at our surroundings.

"Where are you taking us man?" Josh asked. Josh is the kind of guy who doesn't like secrets and surprises. He always likes to be in the know.

"You will see. Stop being so impatient," Derrick replied rolling his eyes. He started to walk down the dirt road and beckoned us to follow him. Kristen came up beside me and hooked her arm through mine as we followed Derrick. Josh and Kemp were trailing right behind us. We walked for a while down the dirt road hearing complaints from Josh about what we were doing. We all just talked about random stuff as we kept walking. Derrick finally came to a stop as the dirt road ended. He just stood there waiting for us to catch up.

We finally caught up to him and looked out on what was in front of us. It was beautiful. It was an empty terrain surrounded by hills. The sun was reflecting off the bright green grass blinding us if you looked straight at it. We just stood there in awe at the beautiful land.

"Dude, how did you find this place?" Kemp asked as he was looking all around.

"I found it last summer when some bad stuff happened," Derrick said looking at me and smiling tightly. I then knew what he meant. It was something with his dad. I smiled remembering that I'm the only person that knew about him and his dad, and then I replayed that whole night in my head.

"Stop standing around. Let's go!" Derrick finally said. He then came running towards me scooping me up over his shoulder. I screamed, "What are you doing?" I said as he ran. He just laughed and finally put me down. I laughed and playfully shoved him. He then pulled me down to the ground and we laid down looking up at the sky. Josh, Kemp, and Kristen then came up and laid down with us.

We sat there for hours just talking and watching the clouds roll by. We were trying to see what the clouds look like to us. All of the clouds that Kemp pointed out he said were "hot" girls. The only thing that changed he said was the girls hair. Kristen and I just rolled our eyes when he would point them out. We had so much fun just sitting there talking and laughing. We sat there for a while till it was dark. We still sat there though now looking at the stars. I felt a wave of sadness as the stars brought back memories of my grandma. I willed myself not to cry though. I didn't want to start that up again in front of everyone.

"Wow it's so beautiful out here," Josh said after a few minutes of silence.

"I know. I don't want to leave," I replied looking up at the stars.

"I know what you mean," Kristen said sighing as she put her hands behind her head.

"Well it looks like it's getting late and the curfew for teenage drivers is eleven," Derrick said sitting up.

"Not like you go by the rules anyway," Kristen said rolling her eyes playfully.

Derrick laughed, "touché."

"Hey we can go back to my house and hang out if you guys want," Josh said as we started walking back towards the dirt road. Thank goodness for Derrick bringing a flashlight or we wouldn't be able to see our way back to the car.

"Sure," Derrick said being the first to reply. After that everyone agreed on going to Josh's and we all got in the car to leave.

I called my mom to tell her I would be at a friend's house and like always she didn't answer. So I just left her a voicemail telling her I would be out late.

We drove up to Josh's house and man it was huge. I mean how much money do these people have. I mean Kristen and Derrick's were also just as huge. Josh's house was Mediterranean style with a huge courtyard in the front with a fountain in the middle.

"Home sweet home," Josh said as we pulled in the circular drive.

When we got in the house it was like a maze. There was a huge foyer with a grand staircase that spiraled up to the second floor. There was a huge study to the right and a formal living room on the left. We followed Josh up the stairs to the second floor and then took another flight of stairs to the third floor. The entire third floor was a game room and a theater room combined. Tall golden yellow wooden doors that looked like it came from an old barn separated the theater room. They were so interesting. I touched them feeling the wood.

"It's from Italy. My mom and dad brought them back from their trip last year. Aren't they beautiful?" Josh said coming up behind me.

"Yeah they are. I love them," I said smiling at Josh. Josh smiled back and opened the doors that led to the theater room. The theater room had navy blue walls with two windows that were on either side of the huge projector screen. There were four rows of brown leather recliner chairs that connected at the armrest with two cup holders in them. We followed Josh to where the DVDs were to pick what we wanted to watch.

"Let's watch Saw 3," Kemp said smiling as he help up the movie.

"How about not," Josh said grabbing the movie out of Kemps hands.

"What, is Joshie scared?" Kemp said taunting him.

"Fine," Josh said grunting. Kemp started cheering. "That ok with you guys?" Josh asked looking at us.

"Sounds good with me," Derrick said smiling at me and then nudging me. I felt electricity shoot up my arm at his touch, and then I felt a blush shoot up to my cheeks realizing how much I am affected by him. I looked down fidgeting my hands. "I'm not a big scary movie person," I finally said smiling embarrassed.

"Well we are watching it anyway, and if you get scared you can just curl up next to Derrick," Kristen said winking at me. This made me blush harder and I silently cursed Kristen for saying that.

"Saw 3 it is," Josh said rolling his eyes and putting the movie in.

I ended up sitting next to Kristen and Derrick with Josh and Kemp on the other side of Derrick. Watching the movie was like torture. I officially hate this movie. I couldn't keep my eyes open in the movie. We all ended up sitting on the floor practically on top of each other. As Kemp said Josh was terrified as he held the cover over his face jumping when he heard a scream, and Kemp couldn't get enough of it. Derrick put his arm around me during the movie, which made me feel like I was going to melt on the floor. I kept putting my face in his shoulder practically shaking. I felt so embarrassed but I couldn't help it. Kristen didn't look fazed at all. Her eyes were glued to the screen and the only thing moving was her hand as she engulfed the popcorn she had in her lap. Derrick seemed fine too as his arm was wrapped around me. He would glance at me every few minutes smiling at me. It seemed like it took forever but the movie was finally over, and we all just kind of sat there for a few minutes not saying anything.

"That was awesome!" Kristen finally said. Josh and I rolled our eyes at the comment and Derrick and Kemp just laughed seeing out expressions.

"Now that that is over what do you guys want to do?" Kemp said looking at everyone.

"You all want to hear my new song?" Josh asked getting excited. We all answered sure and Kemp just shrugged his shoulders. Josh left and came back with his acoustic guitar. He sat down and started playing his song. It was really good. It was a slower song but it had so much feeling to it. It talked about people who are in love but the world seems to always get in the way, and their love wasn't strong enough. He finally finished and looked at us for our reactions.

"That was really good. I loved the lyrics. They are really strong and will definitely be able to move people," I replied smiling at Josh. Josh smiled back excited.

"Will you play a song for us?" Josh asked holding out the guitar.

"You play?" Derrick asked surprised looking at me. Everyone was looking at me expectantly.

"Oh…uh… yeah but I'm not that good," I said hesitantly.

"Oh come on. Please?" Josh said still holding out the guitar and giving me the puppy dogface.

I just sat there with a hesitant expression on my face. Derrick nudged me and gave me a pleading expression.

"Ok," I said giving up, "I'm not that good though."

"Oh that's a load of crap," Kemp said rolling his eyes smiling. I just rolled my eyes back at him and started playing my newest song I wrote. It's called All Will Be Well. It's the kind of song that would make you feel better if things are crappy.

"Wow that's really good. You are freaking amazing," Josh said encouragingly.

"Thanks," I said slightly embarrassed looking down as I felt the blush creep up to my cheeks.

"Hey don't be embarrassed. It's really good," Derrick said smiling at me. I just smiled back at him.

"Hey guys its 11:11. Make a wish," Kristen said excitedly pointing to the clock on the wall. We all closed our eyes making a wish. I closed my eyes wishing for all of us to become very close and always stay friends.

"So what did you wish for?" Derrick asked me smiling.

"Uh—" I started to say but Kristen cut me off.

"No! You can't tell anyone your wish or it won't come true," Kristen said slightly annoyed, "don't you guys know anything?"

I was glad that Kristen interrupted me. I didn't want to confess my secret. I mean it's kind of stupid and especially if they don't feel the same way.

"Alright well it's getting really late so I'll catch up with you all later," Kristen finally said standing up and dusting off her shorts.

"Yeah I got to get going. It was a lot of fun today. Bye," I said getting up and heading towards the door.

"Wait! I'll walk you home," Derrick said getting up and following me out. "Bye dudes," he said before he shut the door.

Derrick walked me to my house and once again he says good night and kisses me on the cheek. I felt the sparks fly from my face all the way down to my toes. I just smiled only able to mutter out night to him. I walk into my house in a daze.

"Hey sweetie," I heard my mom say from the kitchen.

I broke out of my daze and went to find my mom in the kitchen. She was leaning against the counter eating from her Fig Newton stash.

"Hi mom," I said smiling tightly.

"How was your day?" she asked as she chewed and then taking a sip of her diet coke. I watched as her lipstick was making a print on the can.

"Good," I said nodding my head, "I'm going to go to bed so night."

"Night. Oh and Richard and I are going to be going out tomorrow and will probably not be back home tomorrow night if things go in my favor," she said smiling to herself. I just looked at her disgustingly and rolled my eyes muttering whatever before heading up to my room.

I pulled out my guitar and played a little bit until I got to tired to play and then went to bed.
