Uuugghhh...ok...now...where is he? He just called me and said he'd be here..maybe I'm just early..who knows. The wind against my clean skin feels sssoooo good right now. Soothing the big bruise on my side. Ahhh..my baggy clothes dance around me, blowing in the wind..The waves are sick today..Tori is gonna flip when I tell her how beautiful the beach is looking....Tori.....

"Looking for me?" A hand smacks me back to reality. Right on my back.

"Awe!! Sore!!" I yell out in pain.

"Oh, dude, sorry... I forgot." Hunter apologizes. In his hand, he holds a large brown McDonalds bag.

"Hey, dude," I point, giggling at the golden arch goodness, "You sharin'?"

"Oh, you know it!" Hunter holds the bag up and the smell of Mickey D's attacks my senses. I just got real hungry all of a sudden...Lately I've been forgetting to eat...

"Hey, I picked us up some dollar menu grub!" Hunter grins. That sideways, silly grin.

"Alright!" I say, exchanging a high-five with the guy in the crimson long-sleeve and blue jeans.

"It's kinda windy...my fries are gonna blow all over the place. I can't have that be the case." Hunter squints from the wind.

"I hear ya. Lets go back to my apartment." I realize he hasn't seen our new place yet.

"Oh, cool! I haven't seen it!" Hunter says. We walk to my car, parked along the beach and head to my place.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is hardcore, bro!" Hunter says, shoving fries in his mouth.

"yeah, it's cool, finally leaving the folks' home....sense of independence"

"I hear that. That's what college is like dude...no worries...well you know, other than grades. But me and Blake study our asses off up there! This is a well deserved mini vacation!" Hunter speaks with his mouth full.

"Um...speaking of Blake...what's up with him?" I dip some fries into a pool of ketchup, and devour them like I never ate before in my life...

"Yeah, I heard..He's going through some issues,,you know..the whole Tori situation.."

"Tori? Um..what's the situation?" Hearing Tori's name, I almost drop my cheeseburger. Please don't tell me that they are dating now exclusively...

Hunter gives me a 'Duh' look,"C'mon, Dustin! As if the world hasn't noticed my brother is madly in love with her!"

Uuuggghhhh!!! It's like no one cares that I'm dying here!! I'm in love with her too!! It's murdering me...

"It's like, bro, if you want her so much, then go for it! I don't know what his problem is.. I mean it's totally obvious she likes him, too." Hunter bites into his burger, unaware that I want to choke him right now for saying that. What do I say? What can I say?

"But I still don't get why he like, all of a sudden hates me." I say, sipping my orange soda.

"He doesn't hate you. He just has issues." Hunter repeats himself as if he knows exactly why, but was sworn to cover it up. Understandable...but I don't get it, why only issues with me? "Trust me, he wants to talk to you, anyway. He's sorry." I am amazed at how Hunter can speak, breath, chew and swallow all at the same time. And speak so clearly too!!

"Well, that's good to know then." I bite into my cheeseburger. Ahh..fake beef! Nothing greater than unhealthy fast food. For a minute the room fills with nothing but the sounds of chewing and wrappers crumbling.

"So, how did you guys get down here?" I ask.

"Me and Blake went half on a used car. We take turns with it...as you can see, he has it now."

"Oh, what kind of car?" I wash my food down with more soda.

"A dodge neon...but whatever, it drives right?" Hunter jokes.

"No doubt, no doubt." I smile.

Should I ask him about Vanessa? Maybe I should tell him how she totally tried to get in my pants today...

"So, bro...how do you know Vanessa?" Wow...no way! Did Hunter just read my mind?? Sick!

"She's Tori's friend. I met her once. She's cool." I nod...not sure why I'm nodding...

"Yeah, she is." Hunter agrees.

"So...are you two like...an item?" Grinning, I ask the burning question. Well maybe not burning but...somewhere along the lines. Hunter almost chokes on his drink...

"Item? No way!! I just met her yesterday.. we were talking over the internet."

"Wait, so that's who you went to go meet yesterday?" I jump and point, getting excited that I figured something out all by myself.. I love when I do that!

"Bingo." Hunter places his drink on the little coffee table in the middle of the living room, along with the paper remains of what used to be food.

"So..." Still curious, I dig deeper for some dirt," There's nothing going on between you two?"

"Well, she's cool and everything but.....she's kind of a skank." Hunter speaks nonchalantly.

"What?"

"Yeah.. I met her, banged her.. that's basically our relationship." Hunter says, like its nothing. No big deal.

"Woah.." I say, shocked.

"yeah." Hunter says, "And the thing is she admits that she has a sex addiction. She wants it all the time from whoever she gets her hands on..she can't help it. She wants you too, bro. She's like way into you..That's what she told me before I left the shop."

"yeah? Well, I sorta figured that from earlier." I say, a slight hint of red filling my cheeks.

"Go for it! I don't care! It's all good." Hunter encourages.

That's way too weird...

"Nah, it's ok."

"C'mon, live a little! Have some wild fun, now, before some girl really gets to you...then it's over!"

Too bad...that's already the case....
