He flicks the ashes off the end of his cigarette. "So Emy, where are you from?" I just laughed.
"This little down in
Colorado known as Cripple Creek, lots of gambling," he smiled.
"Is there something funny about Colorado that youre not
informing me about," I said trying not to sound too insecure
about the matter. The way he was smiling at me was a mocking way not
so much a "lets be best friends" kind of way.
"You
just dont look like a country girl is all," He shrugged and took
another drag off the end of his Newport.
"Really now? What do
you classify as country," using my fingers to add quotations
around "country". He just laughed, finished his cigarette
and threw it on the ground. "So I'm not country because I don't
wear a cowb- I mean cowgirl hat, and say 'YAAAHOOO' all the
time?"
"Nah, but thats a good start. You just seem
pretty into the city scene with your designer clothes, and dyed hair
is all."
He said mockingly. I looked down at my black cirly
hair.
"This is alot coming from someone from Texas,"
I hope that didnt come out wrong. He just laughed. "You laugh
alot."
"And you're pretty random, and I think you may
have a slight case of ADD," he said. "And, I cant help but
laugh when people say stuff thats stupid."
"HEY! I
DIDNT SAY ANYTHING STUPID," I didn't realize I had raised my
voice that high. Woops. Now he probablly thinks I'm like psycho
and scream at stupid things. Wow. Way to go Emy, Way to go. Sure
I was being a bit hard on myself, but I had just met the boy and I
had already probablly of screwed up about a half a dozen times
already. "Can I crawl into a hole and die now," I
asked myself hoping the words wouldnt spew out of my mouth by
accident. "Well I should get going, I'm already going to at
least 45 minutes late, and usually I'm only late by about 15 minutes
or so. The office probablly thinks I came down with a case of Cancer
or something."
"You sure you dont wanna skip with me
today? We could have alot of fun...," he said in a way that
exagerated it a bit and ultimately it did sound like fun. I mean come
on, spending a day with a hot boy, whoever thinks that doesnt sound
like fun may need to check into a psychiatric ward. Emy, YOU NEED
TO GET TO SCHOOL. Sometimes I really wish I didnt have a
concious.
"Lets say i go along
with this insane plane to say, skip school. Whats in it for me,"
I ask. I pull my cellphone out of my pocket. The display on the front
says "8:20". GREAT, You're almost an hour late.
The school's gonna call your house soon now Emy. I hope your
satisified. I tried to block out my concious. I wanted just one
day where i didnt have to think about anything but having fun and
by god today was gonna be that day.
"Well of course you get
to spend the day with the wonderful bobby of course," He points
to himself and smiles a little smirk almost making me melt. Wow,
Don't do that. You'll make me pass out if you contuine.
"Oh,
but of course," I said in the most sarcastic tone I could
manage. " Because we all know Bobby is just the sexiest man on
the face of the planet!" Just about close to it.
"And
you get to walk around Settle showing me all the sights, " He
made puppy dog eyes after saying this. "Pwweeeaaseee?"
"Ok, ok fine. I'll do it. But you Mr. Bobby must be on your
best behavior otherwise you go STRAIGHT back to the school along with
myself," he chuckled. This could be an interesting day.
