Kora knocked on my door lightly, but I didn't answers, all I wanted to do was curl up and squeeze my pillow.
"Come on Myth, tell me about it." Kora begged, but I still didn't budge. Kora started whispering to someone then there was a much louder knock.
"Mist, can I talk to you?" it was Joey's calm voice. Joey was my only real friend, so I had to let him in. Kora stood beside him with a gigantic smile on her face.
"Not you," I glared at Kora until Joey came in the I slammed the door.
"So, how was your date?" Joey asked casually.
"You heard about that?" I blushed.
"Yeah, pretty hard not to when your sister heard it on facebook and wouldn't stop blabbering about it."
"I bet she thought it would be an utter disaster."
"Was it?"
"It was fine... until Jason showed up."
"Oh," was all Joey said.
"Yeah, I didn't see him though, he sounded really mad."
"Is that why you ran?"
"I'm such an idiot." I sat on my bed beside Joey.
"Your scared of him."
"No, that's why it's stupid. I probably won't see him again."
"You will, I just hope I won't be there when you do." I tried my hardest to battle my smile, but because Joey had acted like a friend instead of a jealous guy, I had to let his humor win just this once.
At school Tom and his mates were laughing about who was the hottest in the cheerleader team as they passed me. I hugged my folder tightly as Tom ignored me as I suspected. It made me almost blush when Tom stopped to smile at me sadly as if he were apologizing then went back to his mates. This must mean that he really did care... well, it's too late for him now. I'm still committed to Jason. Tom and I would just have to carry on with our lives.
It seemed weird how Joey and Tom had come out now that I have Jason. Were the jealous now? Didn't they respect that I was with Jason? That I was unavailable? But the weren't going to stop me from loving Jason. No-one would, especially Kora.
All I wanted to do was sleep in. Just stay away from all of the presents and happy words, especially 'happy birthday'. But then again, I was super excited and nervous to find out if I was going to see Jason.
All I had been thinking about was Jason... Jason was the only reason I got out of bed to see my parents- well my my mum jumping up and down all excited that her little girl was growing up. I'm seventeen, yet I'm still being treated like a kid.
My mum cooked my favourite breakfast; pancakes. Kora was happy partly because of the pancakes. Kora smiled and nodded at me at the table, this was the only time of the ear that she laid of her being mean. Kora even decided to take away my plate when I finished.
For the rest of the day I laid down on my bed to wait for my twelve o'clock to arrive. At twelve o'clock my three my uncles came. Even though it wasn't big, it would be bigger if my cousin came from Australia, but it was enough. My uncle Scott was my favourite. We were more close than any of my uncles. One time when I came over he made us minty tea. We would tell jokes and he'd take me out shopping because my mum was too busy and my dad hated shopping- he owned hardly any clothes. The only reason has clothes was because they were all gifts.
Uncle Scott made me feel beautiful, he had a special blue room for me. There in the middle of the room would be the best soft single bed I had laid on. It was better than my single bed. Uncle Scott did say he would make the single a double, but there wasn't an point because I liked it the way it was. Plus, it wasn't as if I lived there. Although I have been tempted a couple of times to stay, nine hours away would be fine with me. Maybe my mum gets the satisfaction that I can't live there.
Once I did spend a whole weekend at uncle Scott's house though. The blankets were purple and in a pink pattern. Everything was in a neatly designed pattern. The pillow had a punk rock star girl on it. The bedside table had a small blue umbrella with blue flowers on it. Next to it had a blue fancy mask that was designed for the eye part only. Next to the mask were all of these shiny jewelery pieces that shone if I opened the short blinds open at the right time in the morning. Uncle Scott and I would wait early in the morning just to see them shine.
Uncle Boris was my least favourite, his place was always messy. If I even tried to clean it up he would notice and growl me. Uncle Stanley was the computer geek. When I went over we would barely speak to each other. He had a decorated blue laptop just for me. It made me feel special, but it was a way to keep my mouth shut.
Uncle Scott gave me a blue book with only a sky on it that said; Sky or Heaven. Uncle Scott had a draw of books under the stuff on the table. He always opened me up to new or old books. I liked them because I got to escape from me as a ghost world.
Uncle Boris gave me a cute pig puppet along with a frog. Uncle Stanley gave me an ipod and cellphone. I know I should be grateful, but I really didn't need them. The only thing I was grateful for was him giving Kora the stereo. Kora spent more time listening to her music then hassling me about something that I did in the past. I was grateful for the cellphone, if Jason did come he would be able to me whenever.
"Well, I brought the Wii set. Do you accept the bowling challenge?" Uncle Stanley asked me as if he were a big time sports person.
"I don't know about that Stanley. We have to eat lunch." Mum said, breaking my excitement into dust.
"Are you afraid she's going to beat me at bowling for the first time?" Uncle Stanley laughed.
"Alright, for a while," mum smiled.
After I K.O'ed Uncle Stanley at bowling we had to stop to drink mum's sweet lemon juice.
"Going easy on her bro," dad nudged Uncle Stanley. Mum didn't have any siblings, that's why she wanted two children, so Kora wouldn't be lonely. But sadly, I was lonely, but Jason fixed that.
Uncle Stanley hooted then pulled me under his smelly armpit like he was drunk, he never could handle the lemon's.
"You gotta boyfriend yet?" Uncle Stanley breathed his warm lemony breath on me. I froze, I didn't know if I should reveal what Jason and I had. Uncle Scott saved my answer by laughing. Was it so hard to imagine that I had a boyfriend? Usually Kora would laugh at that question is well, but she kept her mouth shut. She knew, no-one else did in my family. I wanted so badly to say right then and there that I did have, but Uncle Scott spoke.
"Stanley, that's my joke!" Everyone laughed because it was true. Uncle Scott flirted with me sometimes, but he would just keep it as a joke like 'nice hair' or 'how's your model body?'. It wasn't anything pedoish. My parents and I liked it that way. It felt nice to be complemented every now and then. But I secretly wanted more than compliments.
Every now and then I found myself peeking at the clock, I couldn't help myself. What if Jason didn't come. Usually no boy would distract me from tennis, but at one point I stopped hitting the Wii ball and stared sadly at the clock.
"Victory!" Uncle Stanley cheered until everyone turned their unwanted attention to me. Kora shrugged then head.
The most fantastic sound that I had heard all day was the door being knocked on. Mum got it, it was Jason... and his clan. All I wanted for my birthday was for Jason to come, not the rest of them.
"Hello Mrs Burton. I am a friend of Mystery. May we come in?" Jason asked politely. I thought mum would be over joyed that I had friends, surprised even, but mum stared at me confused like she was trying to solve a puzzle inside her head. I nodded nervously and hoped she would let them in. If she didn't Jason would be tempted to kill her. Jason's love for me would be so strong that he couldn't handle being separated from me for another second. Jason and his clan sat on the dolphin carved blue couch relaxed, but mum was still cautious about them.
"I'm sorry, how do you know my daughter?" mum asked.
"Kora introduced us," Jason said it like he had prepared for that question.
"I see." Mum crossed her arms.
"You wouldn't mind if we stayed the night would you?"
"I don't think that's very sensible."
"Oh come on, it's just one night." Jason remained calm but leaned in closer to try to get into my mum's head.
"Alright then. Your friends will have to stay out here though."
"That's just fine."
"Michelle," dad said to mum. "The sausage rolls are ready." Mum nodded then laid out lunch.
My stomach was so sore from guilt that I couldn't play Wii tennis anymore. Jason and his clan didn't eat because they said they ate before, but I knew the real reason, so did Kora.
"Right then," mum clapped once. "I'll see if our tea's are ready."
"May I help you in anyway?" Jason offered.
"No, you may not." mum snapped.
"Michelle, he was being polite." Dad said. Mum started at Jason for a while trying to make up her mind . Jason was wearing a white shirt that was see-through with jeans. The others wore black dresses and jeans which worried. You don't wear obvious black to a birthday party as far as I'm concerned.
"Alright, but no funny business."
"It's just tea," Jason smiled. Maybe Jason was just being polite, but I couldn't sense that Jason was up to something. Mum could feel it too.
Jason came back with a big smile that was only meant for me, everyone else was talking about my presents or if I was 'OK' to hang out with Jason's clan.
My uncles left at about seven then everyone went off without any words. Jason slept in my room with one of Kora's mattresses beside my bed. I couldn't help but stare at Jason's eyelids. He was so sweet when he slept. It was like looking at a bee vibrating. Even when Jason opened his eyes I didn't look away. He didn't look embarrassed, he stared back at me.
"Hey, can I climb in?" Jason whispered. I nodded. Jason stood with no top showing his chest hair that I thought was also sexy. I moved backwards to let him in trying not to moan.
I remembered why Jason came her. He wanted to finish-or start again- having sex with me. I was afraid that he might suck my neck again.
"Are you sure about this?" Jason asked. Al I wanted to do was snuggle or kiss, but then he would have waited four months for nothing and been wasted. But then I thought about how warm and intense it was with him. My body wanted so badly to do it. I thought that if he didn't love me he would kill me. Maybe he didn't want to just have sex with me.
In the end I ended up nodding. Jason smiled then laid his hand on my shoulder that slithered down to the side of my stomach. He then putted his other hand under my cheek. Jason went to kiss me then I gasped.
"What about my parents? They'll hear." I said. Jason smiled.
"I putted sleeping pills in the teas." That's why he wanted to help, he's so smart and bad.
"What if they somehow wake up?"
"They won't, stop worrying."
"OK then," I whispered.
"Happy birthday," Jason continued to kiss me and give me an amazing experience!
A/N OK I know this is short but I promise I'll do at least 3,000 words tomorrow.
