Right then my phone vibrated again. I've got to get that thing off of vibrate again... Speak of the devil .. I got a text from Brianna.
"outside, come out. need 2 tlk 2 u now. importnt."
What can it be now? I walked out into the theater parking lot and saw no one. There was a low caugh in the distance. It almost had a rhythm to it, but I ignored it. Then there was a low hooting sound .. I thought owls were nocturnal? It's only 6:30 PM. I ignored that, figuring it was some kid messing around. Soon after the howling there was a light that looked like it was reflected off of a watch. What the hell is going on?? After a while I saw Brianna's head poke up from behind a car. "DUDE!" she whispered harshly. "Couldn't you tell I was trying to get your attention?!"
I walked over to her, and low and behold, Cameron was standing next to her. He turned around to face me and then looked over to Brianna. "Are you serious right now?" He said and proceeded to walk away. She caught his arm just in time to stop him and push him closer to me.
"You know, for such a big guy, you're a pansy." I said with arms crossed.
He returned the stance. "Sorry I don't take my girl, now ex-girl, sleeping with some washed up loser lightly."
This was getting out of hand. "OK, for starters .. he's not a washed up loser. 1, I did not sleep with him. I fell asleep next to him. 2, shouldn't you trust me if you supposedly like me that much? Don't love and trust go hand and in? and finally 3.."
"Oh thank God, the end. I thought you've never stop talking," He interrupted. The brown haired boy rolled his eyes, making sure I knew how he felt, and walked away.
A few minutes passed and he was gone and I was fuming.
Brianna stood there, and hesitantly said, "Well that went well.." she suggested going back to watching the movie but I went home instead. Later on I got texts from both Daisuke and Tyler asking where I went. I didn't reply, now was me time. I'm done with boys. I walked around the house, attempting to find something to do. I was off to the living room to watch a movie. It was getting dark so I flipped the light switch to avoid tripping on something and falling on my face. The light came on but faded until the room was dark again. I rummaged around for a new light bulb. No one else was in the house, at least so I thought. I heard quiet footsteps and my heart immediately started to throb from panic. Relax. It's probably nothing. The steps were getting closer and then I heard the sound of a chain. I backed up into the nearest corner, grabbing the remote control as my weapon of choice. I closed my eyes, hoped the steps wouldn't come closer and gripped the remote, ready to strike.
The steps came into the room, the person flashed a light my way. I ran towards them, my eyes still closed. Whoever it was caught my arm, preventing me from hitting them. I opened my eyes. It was Tyler.
"What the hell are you doing? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to point the remote at the TV, not trying to kill me with it."
Okay, maybe the remote wasn't such a great weapon. It probably would not have saved be in the face of danger.
I told him of how I thought he was a serial killer. Because obviously, serial killers strike at 5 PM when your light bulbs go out. So Tyler was helping me replace a light bulb. Yes ladies and gentlemen, changing a light bulb is a group effort since I am too short to reach. Thanks to Tyler's brilliant plan of building a ramp, my ladder is the support beam for it. He was holding me up, failing to stand still enough for me to unscrew the dead bulb.
"For Christ's sake! Is it really that impossible to stand still Ty?!" I demanded.
I could sense the annoyance in his reply: "Well when you have someone's ass practically in your face it's not easy!"
"Then next time you decide to build a ramp, leave my ladder behind so my ass won't be in your face."
I managed to unscrew the bulb, but replacing it was going to be a different story with and of itself. After handing Tyler the bulb, he put me down. Instead of having him pick me up again, I decided climbing the cabinet would be more efficient. I managed to get on top of it to only come crashing down to my immediate death. Maybe that was a bit exaggerated, but that would've hurt. Luckily Ty caught me just in time. I guess we were a little too close for comfort when Brianna came in the room with Cameron who left after seeing us.
"You know you could've just used a chair right?" She said with an annoyed look on her face.
He quickly let go of me and I attempted to brush off the dust off of my clothes. "Yes, that would be common sense. But thanks to your uh .. genius boyfriend over here .. he cut the legs of the chairs in the house to also support his stupid ramp."
"Whatever," she replied. Something was obviously bothering her and she wouldn't tell me no matter how much I pestered her. "Why didn't you make up with Cameron? Do you really plan on getting back with Dark..?" she asked randomly. Tyler sat down, pretending not to hear anything.
I sighed. So this is what it's going to come down to. "Cameron .. is just Cameron. He's an ass when he wants to be. And right now he's an ass. Dark? No, I don't plan on getting back together. We're just friends and that's all we'll ever be." I hoped that would stay true …
My answer didn't satisfy her. She was still looking at me like I was holding back and sat down on a barstool. "So! How about a whipped cream fight? Or shall I offer you ladies a nice skinny dip in the pool?"
"I'll take the dip in the pool without the skinny part," Bri replied.
Tyler looked confused. "I never thought I'd ever hear you say those words, you alright Bri?" She him off and went to the bathroom to get changed.
After a while in the pool, Daisuke joined us. Brianna got out for a few minutes to go get us ice cream. I noticed that Tyler started coughing, and he looked a bit pale. He eventually got worse, his temperature was 101. Daisuke brought him inside and we all followed. Brianna attempted giving him cough medicine and tea to see if his cough would die down… How could he suddenly get sick like that? He was fine earlier.
