Chapter Five: Great American Sharpshooter
My eyes opened, bleary with sleep. I felt so warm and comfortable, I almost didn't want to wake up. But then I realized...something's a bit unusual. I looked at the clock. 9:42 am...no, that wasn't it. A gray light filled the room; it was obviously another cold, cloudy day. My book peeked out from under the matress, my room was still strewn with clothes. I noticed I hadn't bother to put on pajamas, and was still in my t-shirt and jeans. Damn, what was it...? "Morning Bunny...sleep well?" I heard Darien's voice ask. "Morning...yeah, I slept fine," I automatically replied. Then it hit me.
Holy hell's bells, DARIEN AND I HAD SLEPT TOGETHER!!!
I suddenly bolted upright and looked at him in horror. "Shit!" I said outloud, panicking. I didn't take the time to notice how incredibly sexy Darien looked with bed-head (okay, maybe I did), and was instead worrying about how much trouble I'd be in if my parents found out that a) I had snuck a boy in, b) a SENIOR at that, and c) had let him sleep in my bed! Darien sat up, and cradeled my face in his hands, looking at me. "Bun," he said calmly. "Sammy's at a friend's house, right?" I nodded, my eyes still wide. "Yeah," I said, "but what about my parents?!" He shushed me. "Sshh," he said. "Your parents both work, right?" I blinked. I'd forgotten that it was Monday. Sammy (my ten-year-old brother) and I may not have school, but my parents still had work. They'd be gone 'til five. I let out a huge sigh. There was no way they could have known.
Darien grinned at me. "See?" he said. I smiled up at him. "Thanks, Dare," I said. Then a new thought crossed my mind. "We didn't...do anything, did we?" I asked. He shook his head, and his grin because sly and seductive. He began easing me onto my back. "As tempting as it was," he said huskily, "I didn't take my chances and ravish you in your sleep." He bent over to kiss me...and I laughed at the expression on his face when he found himself kissing lavender bed sheets. "Morning breath, baby," I said. I pecked him through the sheets, and got up to brush my teeth. He followed me, and I dug around and tossed him my travel toothbrush. We both brushed our teeth, and headed back into my room.
Darien closed the door, and looked at me wolfishly. "Now," he said silkily. "Where were we?" I was about to answer, when suddenly I found myself pushed down on my bed, and a very gorgeous young man on top of me, kissing me senseless...and tasting very minty-fresh indeed.

I lay sprawled out on my stomach on Mina's huge bed. Mina and Lita were chatting away, looking at something on some random website on Mina's computer, and what was I doing? Trying to stop my Birkenstock mule from falling off my foot. Sadly, I failed, and it dropped to the floor. I let out a mournful wail, and noticed that neither Mina nor Lita were paying attention to me. I looked over at them, and found that Mina was now playing with Lita's long, curly brown hair. I sighed, and went back to thinking about what had happened a few hours ago. Darien and I had nearly...well...gone "all the way", but he stopped. Why had he stopped? That was the main question in my mind right now...
"Soooo, Bunny," Mina drawled, finally taking notice of me. "Why does Darien pay so much attention to you?" I looked over at her. "I told you," I said. "We're really good friends." Lita raised an eyebrow. "A senior and a freshman, really good friends?" she asked. I scowled. "Yes, I've known him since Oz," I said, mentioning the play that Darien and I met at.
Lita Woods and Mina Hart. Gossip whores, both of them, but still good friends. They delight in hearing it...NOT in spreading it.
Mina abandoned Lita's hair, and layed on her bed with me, smoothing the orange comforter. "Mm-hmm..." she said, and then changed the subject. "Ooo! We got a student teacher in Geography, and he is SUCH a babe!" Lita's interest was obviously perked. "From the University?" she asked. Mina nodded. "Yeah, and I found out where he works!" I decided to play along, and feign interest. "Where does he work, O Golden Haired One?" I asked. She giggled. "Crown Arcade by the University!" she said triumphantly.
Lita looked confused. "I've never seen that place before..." she said. "Have you, Sere?" I nodded. "Yeah, I go up there when I get the chance...they have a DDR machine," I replied, sitting up and reaching for my mule and sliding it back on my feet. Most the preps at our school wear Birkenstocks, but I wear 'em because they're damn comfortable, not because they're trendy. Mina rolled her eyes. "Of course, our Bunny knows places by whether or not they have a DDR machine," she said dramatically. I feigned hurt. "Hey, bite me and my mad DDR skillz!" I said. Mina tossed a pillow at me playfully.
"Hey!" Lita said, looking up from the paper she was reading. "There's gonna be a 'Teen Techno Night' at Paradox tonight...you guys wanna go?" Mina and I gave matching, enthusiastic squeals. "Techno music!" I said happily. "Cute techno guys!" Mina said ecstatically. We nodded. "Hell yes!" I said, hoping to look forward to some glowstick swinging. Lita grinned. "Then let's go!" she said. Mina took charge, making plans. "Alright, you guys can stay the night here, my parents are gonna be late tonight anyway...we've all got the cover charge, and I'll spring money for drinks I forgot to mention that Mina is LOADED....I'll cover the cab to come pick us up, too...you guys go home and get your clothes, meet back here in one hour, and we'll get there at 9!" This was all said in one breath. Mina looked like she'd accomplished something major.
