Episode 5

Malia’s POV 

The school day has ended and I’m waiting for Theo who has basketball practice, I promised him that we could hang out and maybe watch a movie before he is going to the party later. So I’m standing in the parking lot, because there is no way that I want to be in the gym watching Theo practice when HE is on his team, just the thought of HIM makes me shiver! I can’t wait till I can get out of this town and never seeing him again! 

So while I was waiting I walked around in the parking lot, and that is when I saw it, it was a Kawasaki Ninja in matte black custom made colors with the details like the handles and the rims were in a metallic royal blue! It is absolutely beautiful. I heard someone say “so do you like what you are seeing?” I was like in a trance or something staring at this beast, I answered “yeah! It’s a nice bike, its a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR right??” “Good eye” the voice said. 

After a little while it kind of dawned on me that the voice was a person, and not just a voice, so I looked up to see Damon standing there with a sexy smirk on his face .. wait did I just thought about him being sexy??? I totally blushed and I quickly looked at the ground hoping he didn’t see it! I said something about that I was just admiring it, not really being able to think, because of the pulse pulsing loudly in my ear. He said something that I didn’t quite hear as the banging in my head continued. I decided to just walk away. He then asked where I was going and I answered with the only word I could think of “away” and that is exactly what I did, I hurried off in the other direction. 

I texted Theo 

Malia: hi, I didn’t want to wait around and get bored, so I walked home, just come by when you’re done with practice.

About 45 minutes after I returned home, I heard I knock and immediately after Theo walked in saying “honey I’m home” while laughing at his own joke. Theo and I have been best friends since the first day of preschool, that day he just looked at me and said ‘hey, you’re weird! Wanna play??’ We are totally opposites of each other, like Theo is popular, has a lot of friends and is comfortable in who he is. And there’s me, before I was a happy girl, but I have always been very shy too. And the new me is kind of a b***h, I ignore most people and has become a loner, so besides Theo I don’t interact when any of then kids at school. 

“Living room” I yelled out to him as a way of giving him directions. And in he came. “Hey loser, how was you day” he asked. “Long, boring and uneventful how about yours?” I said shrugging, Theo threw himself down on the couch beside me and put his arm over my shoulders, “good, you do know that you could come sit with me at lunch, right? You are always sitting alone” Theo said. “I prefer sitting alone, not that I don’t want to sit with you, but you don’t ever sit alone” said with a smile hoping he will let that conversation stop there. 

Luckily he did, and we chose a movie to watch.

Damon POV. 

As got home I got a text from my best friend from back home Matt

Matt: Yo bro, you are missed around here, there so quite, I haven’t even had detention week, I’m going soft without you :’D HAHA.z don’t be stranger dude. 

Matt is like my brother, we’ve gotten in SO much trouble together and it’s always been me and him against the world, that is until my mothers husband got a new job in the s**t town. I better text him back so he doesn’t think I’ve disappeared. 

Damon: Well hello Matthew, miss me already huh?? :D you are so sentimental. I figured I would skip school something next week and then come visit you and the others. So tell the troops I’m coming home for a visit ;) 

Matt: Sure thing man ;) and I’m gonna ignore that you just called me Matthew like I’m so stuck up prep boy hahaha.. 

We texted back and forth for a while, he’s been catching me up with how things have been since I moved a week ago, a lot can happen in a small amount of time. And I’ve been catching him up on this new little town, I told him about how there’s nothing that is remotely interesting here, except for maybe one thing. I told him about how all the girls here seem to swoon over me, and how clingy they seem, well except for Malia of course. Matt thinks I have a thing for her or something apparently I mentioned her a few times to many. I told him about the party tonight and about how that Trent guy is giving me a bad wibe, there’s something about him that is just not right. 

I decided I needed a shower and a change of clothes before deciding if I should go to this party or not, as I stood from my bed I looked out the window, and saw some guy that I’ve seen around school leaving Malia’s house, with a dumb smile on his face. All of a sudden I was in a bad mood, I don’t understand why though..
