bell was about to ring, and No wait. She had just gotten out of the locker room shower, and was about to change back into her cl

The warm June sun illuminated the lilac walls of my bedroom as my alarm buzzed in my ear. Hitting the off button I made it out of bed sliding into my ivory slippers placed under my bed. Turning off my ac I opened the windows letting the summer air into my room. Today was the day I'd finally meet him. I picked up my iPhone from my jet black table and texted my best friend Jasmine to wake up. She would walk me to Caesar's Bay where I would meet up with Taylor, my mystery date from Tinder. I must've read his bio at least a hundred times 80s-90s music and movies I have a fast car Sometimes funny I like to drive around, get unhealthy food and listen to corny music, and if you swipe right I could like you too Jasmine-I'm awake, just have to quickly put on a shirt and shorts and I'll meet you near 68th street like usual. Rina- I'm checking to see if I have everything. Jasmine- Hmm keys,wallet, perfume, water, sunglasses. Carl didn't text you yet right? Rina- No but you think he knows I'm going outwith Taylor? Jasmine- I would assume so girl he's one of his best friends. But look it's fair game one asked you out first. Rina- true! I'm just nervous:( Jasmine- Don't worry I'll be with you to make sure he's not a creep and I'll follow you guys around for a bit. Jasmine- I even brought my hookah pen to smoke it out before he comes Rina- LOL I got mine too, see you soon. You see 68th street, as Jasmine and I called the "headquarters of the freaks". Over the years Jasmine and I have seen some bizarre and even grotesque things. However, if we ever told anyone else they wouldn't believe us. One time on Halloween right after my 16th birthday in September Jasmine and I went out to Starbucks and experienced a first hand robbery happen. A guy in his mid 20s grabbed a woman's iPad and ran off with it. After seeing that me and her were petrified and decided to go home but the night was still young. We were chased by this postal truck and hid behind a van near a dead end street. Prving into the van I spotted what looked likecages and ripped clothes. That's only the beginning to another story. As I walked down the blocks to 68th street a group of young teens whistled across the street, looking over to my left side I spotted a mannequin head in the window. Rina- I see a mannequin head in the window Jasmine- of course I ain't surprised I got an old man following me. Rina- We should write a book one day LOL Jasmine- definitely but people would think we're high. I think I see you btw Running up to hug Jasmine we both broke out into laughter when we realized we were wearing the same color scheme for our outfits. I was wearing a white fringe seamless tank top paired with light denim and a beige cardigan while Jasmine wore a white tank top and jean shorts of similar shade. Jasmine's long thick brunette hair was pulled back and her sunglasses kept her bangs from falling on her face. She had her peach flavored hookah pen in one hand ready to blow puffs. "You tried to curl your hair?" she said while running her fingers through my semi curled blonde hair. "I tried but it's it didn't work out the way I wanted to" I laughed pulling my hair to the back to keep it from touching the slight sweat forming on my neck. My phone buzzed with texts as I looked up to meet Jasmine's hazel eyes. "Oh my god Carl texted me!" I softly whispered. Carl- Good morning gorgeous Rina-Heyy haha what's up? Carl-just chilling with my friend, what are u up to? Jasmine glared at me,"ignore him and focus on the date with Taylor, I think he knows and is trying to make your day turn for the worse you know how Carl is." I sighed and put my phone in my pocket. Carl was the definition of a Hollister model. He had these alluring sea blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. He was 5 ^ prime prime 10 and in very good shape but like everyone else he had his baggage. His nights revolved around cars and parties and it was hard to keep a conversation with him. Taylor was similar in appearance, he had blue-green eyes that you just couldn't tell what he was thinking. His hair was a slightly darker shade of blonde and the convos I had with him actually went somewhere. Jasmine fanned herself as we kept walking. We passed our grey metallic bus bench where welike cherries and oranges. "I gotta hide this in my room from my mom. Once my mom found it and like flipped out. I didn't want to make her upset so just said I was stashing it for my friend Patrick. She of course believed me I mean Patrick is Something else; drink in one hand cigarette in the other and a new girl on his lap every hour." He looks at me as we walk to the side and observe the sparkling waters. "Do you smoke cigarettes or do any drugs?" I asked him awaiting a response. "No I hate cigarettes I can't stand their scent and no I'm against drugs even though most of my friends do them, I'm always like thanks man I'm good." I paused for a moment and ask again, " Do you have like a close circle of a few friends or your really social?" He responds in an excited tone, "I have like a group of friends, they're basically my family I would do anything for them you know." He looks back at the water and asks,"how about you?" I pause for a second. "I mean I used to have a group of friends but you know high school reveals everyone's true side so I just have my best friend and a little group of others." He nods and asks," so you want to go back to the car and make it in time for the summer parade by the beach?" I grin, "yesHis black trans am seemed to shine so bright like a newly bought car right out of the dealership. It was so hard to believe this car was the same age as me. He stopped me and remained in his drivers seat. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest like butterflies that have broke free from a metal cage. I tried to take deep breaths and calm myself down. I managed to let out a hey and a smile. He quickly smiled and nodded, "so you want to take a walk by the bay right?" He asks me, his eyes glaring right into my own brown eyes. "Yeah the weathers beautiful for a walk" I say awkwardly as I start to walk towards the bay where Jasmine was sitting on an olive wooden bench. "You want a ride?" He lets out a chuckle and I swiftly turn around and make my way into the passenger seat. The top of the car was off the sun was beaming on us. His car was a complete mess in the back with car parts and a few worn t shirts. 80s music was blasting from his stereo. "Hold on tight" he lets out a grin adjusting his glasses and presses the gas. His trans am lets out a huge roar like a lion aggravated ready to attack his lunch and he starts doing doughnuts then speeds and making a u turn towards the bay.My heart starts beating faster this time scared for my own life. He looks over me laughing, and I let out a quiet laugh. I mean it was kinda fun but at that moment I was scared shitless. My phone rings and I quickly turn it on silent. Jasmine- Oh my god I can hear his car are you okay??? Rina- yes I'm flipping out But I'm alive we're going to the bay Finally parking his race car, a young man in his 20s approaches Taylor and they start talking cars. He asks him something about his lsx wheels and his exhaust. Taylor proudly explains all the specifications of his car. I didn't expect his voice to be that high pitched. When he was talking it seemed like he had a lisp and seemed to talk rather low. He had a black t shirt that said, "SK speeding and racing equipment" printed on the upper left side with a small stain near the middle section and a pair of jeans with dark Nike sneakers. As we make our way to the road along the bay he glances over me, "You know for a sec I was worried an old lady in her 70s was going to come up to me" I laughed and look over at him walking on my leftside. He's taller than me by 8 inches but so skinny. "This is actually my first actual date from tinder" I confess quickly looking at him. I quickly add, "I mean I've seen my share of freaks." He smiles and goes into a conversation about his mother. "I told my mom I'm going out on a date and she's like awesome go for it. She honestly just wants someone to shop with" I smile and look shly at the ground, "I like shopping." What was a 30 minute walk felt like 10 minutes as we talked about his friends and work. Starting drinking at 14, he had some pretty wild nights with his group of polish friends. "You know your a lot shorter than I expected" he says looking at me. My heart starts beating fast, "Is that a bad thing?" I ask looking up at him almost like for approval. "Of course not, it's in fact very cute." He smiles and his eyes light up for that second. I didn't think about Carl until he brought him up ten seconds right after our cute moment. "One of my friends Carl, smokes all the time, he gave me this vape for my birthday and he got one himself but it makes him smoke more." He says pulling out a vape and taking a huge puff. The air around us soon became a huge cloud of nicotine and a flavor that smelled.like cherries and oranges. "I gotta hide this in my room from my mom. Once my mom found it and like flipped out. I didn't want to make her upset so just said I was stashing it for my friend Patrick. She of course believed me I mean Patrick is Something else; drink in one hand cigarette in the other and a new girl on his lap every hour." He looks at me as we walk to the side and observe the sparkling waters. "Do you smoke cigarettes or do any drugs?" I asked him awaiting a response. "No I hate cigarettes I can't stand their scent and no I'm against drugs even though most of my friends do them, I'm always like thanks man I'm good." I paused for a moment and ask again, "Do you have like a close circle of a few friends or your really social?" He responds in an excited tone, "I have like a group of friends, they're basically my family I would do anything for them you know." He looks back at the water and asks," how about you?" I pause for a second. "I mean I used to have a group of friends but you know high school reveals everyone's true side so I just have my best friend and a little group of others." He nods and asks," so you want to go back to the car and make it in time for the summer parade by the beach?" I grin, "yesof course." I spot Jasmine as she tries to act cool and can't help but make a chuckle keeping my laughter inside. Sweet dreams by La Bouche started playing and Taylor started lip syncing the lyrics. I managed to smile but his voice seemed so girly. I was too embarrassed to lip sync with him and just kept smiling the whole time as Taylor kept looking at me from time to time. I texted Jasmine we were on our way so she could take the train and meet us there. Jasmine- oh my god the trains don't work! They're all going to the city not the beach cuz of the Summer parade Rina-Omg okay it's okay he seems nice I got This I think. I'll try to text you time from time but whenever I look at my phone he seems annoyed. Jasmine- what the hell okay but do you like him? Rina-yes I'll tell you more later. The top of the car was still off making it a convertible and the sun rays hit my skin and heated his dark leather seats making them burn my skin. Oh my god I'm going to have burns if I don't get out of this car soon enough!"Ah now wehave to find parking" he says while closely examining the street. The streets were soon filled with the sound of trumpets and people clapping and screaming. A couple of people walked by dressed in vibrant dresses with painted Suns and wigs while wearing too much makeup for a hot summer day. After circling for 20 minutes my head started to spin. There's no parking! Holy s**t please god I can't take this car anymore. "Hmm I guess no parking then. Man I really wanted to see the beach; I've been here a couple times with my friends in the summer drinking a few beers and splashing in the water." He said changing the song to Roses by the chainsmokers. "Wow I love this song!" I said excitedly. After we hit the highway once again I pulled my hair and tried to keep it up. I was sweaty and I was sure all the perfume I used wasn't going to help. "So where do you want to go now?" He says looking over at me while shifting gears on his death trap of a car with NO AC. "Umm how about movies?" I ask knowing he loves horror films. "Sure, let me just put in the directions to the theater, what's it called?" He hands his phone over to me. His phone is cracked and he has way tooCarl-At work bored wish you were next to me lay down on this couch and pull you on top of me. Rina- (snaps back selfie) I'd bring you lunch haha Carl-Wow you look hot that shirt though. I would My heart starts racing imagining all the graphic scenarios with Carl. He was such a good flirt and he knew it oh so well. Taylor-Would you want to meet up sometime? Rina- Yes I'd love to. When can you? Taylor- This weekend I have a day off from work Saturday. Rina-Around what time? Taylor-Whatever works for you Rina- Are you Like a morning person or you want to do like the afternoon? Taylor- Whatever is good for you I can 8,9,10 am :3 I'm pretty flexible Rina- Haha okay not that early, 12 works? Taylor- 12 it is. Any idea on what you want to do? Rina- This weekend there's the Summer Parade by the beach we can check that out, theres always the movies and then we'll see maybe we can grab something to eat.Taylor- Oh the summer parade I've heard that's pretty wild. That sounds like an awesome day. Promise you'll lip sync with me in the car? Rina- Haha no I pass I'll be too nervous. What kind of music do you like though? Taylor- I'll send you my playlist I skim through the multitude of 80s and 90s music along with Chainsmokers, Rihanna, Kygo and Daya. He literally had almost the same taste in music as I did. Carl broke into my day dreams with his snap. Two days later June 10th, 2016 Carl-Hey you wanna meet up after work? Rina-When do you end work? Carl-Like around 4, I can pick you up at 7. Rina- That's a little too late, my parents would definetly not let me out at that time. Carl-(types and stops) Aw come on parents love me. Kids too. He sends me a picture of him and a little girl with light brown hair and the same beautiful eyes as him.Rina- awwwww omg she's adorable! Carl-Aw what about me? Rina- you too! I put my phone down and think for a second. My mind was a tangled web between Taylor and Carl. I had to call Jasmine and ask for her advice. Jasmine Remember in How I met Your Mother Ted had to make a pros and cons list? Rina- Oh my god right, I think we need to do the same thing for Taylor/Carl. Jasmine- I got a yellow pad all out and ready. Carl Pros -blue eyes - Polish tea -handyman (works at construction site) - interesting role play - good with kids -good sense of humor -likes wine I pause to think what else what so alluring about Carl, while Jasmine says, "How about the consCarl-At work bored wish you were next to me Rina- (snaps back selfie) I'd bring you lunch haha Carl-Wow you look hot that shirt though.

"Oh my god it's 10 pm. We've been having this conference for like three hours" I say dropping my phone on my face. Jasmine and I say goodnight and I head to take a warm bath right before bed. I pull out a intergalactic bath bomb with a burst of bright colors out of the brown paper bag from lush. I drop into my bath and as soon as it hits the water the bath becomes a waterway of purple, blue and pink. I snap a picture and post it on snapchat receiving a text from Taylor two minutes later. + Taylor- Is that a bath bomb?:0 Rina- Omg yes, how did you know? Most guys don't really know what those are Taylor- I've heard of them they're pretty cool, does yours have glitter? Rina- Yeah the waters pretty glittery Taylor- That's gotta be a pain to clean up. Rina- What are you up to? Taylor-Well I'm go carting with a couple of friends it's my friends birthday next weekend and since he works Saturday we thought we'd all celebrate thisRight! Carl's birthday was next weekend. I was going to go out with his best friend near his birthday that couldn't be good. Rina-Oh wow that sounds fun :) Taylor-Yeah haha just drinking a couple beers, how's your night going? I tried to hold in my laughter since I couldn't tell him about the pros and cons me and Jasmine had made. Rina- Just resting in bed thinking about life haha Rina- Just my past relationship Taylor-like what :0 It wasn't a complete lie.. Last night I had watched a snap of my ex and his new girlfriend. He had his arms around her tightly and her blonde hair glowed as she let out a laugh and turned around to meet her lips with his. It was hard to watch but I was happy for him. I'd hope that someday I'd find my own happiness toohave to find parking" he says while closely examining the street.

His phone is cracked and he has way tooIt was the day after, and Noami had felt a little weaker in the legs then she did before all of it happened. Yet, all she could seem to do while she sat in her desk is think about what had happened. "Ms. Smith! What's do you know the answer?" The teacher, Mrs. Jackson, called out knowing she wasn't paying attention. But Noami had already gotten in trouble for not paying attention a few times previously in other classes, so if she admit to not paying attention it would mean a detention. "Y-yes, ma'am!" Noami stuttered, desperately looking at the word for the problem- she was quite good at math, so hopefully this won't be too hard. But when she couldnt see the problem on the board, she looked at the Emilia's paper. Muttering "damnit" when she realized that the paper flipped so she couldn't see it. "2x raises to the 4th power-so Uhm.. 18?"Noami panicked and said, accepting her basically defeat. "No, and I believe that'll be a detention for you- maybe you should learn to pay attention in class, Ms. Smith." The teacher spoke as she turned around and continued to teach her lesson.Room 327? I didn't even know we had one.." She muttered walking down the hall, glancing left and right for the room number.. Until she saw Coach Samuels. She blushed, and debated just wandering around for a while til she found it.. But that would just be more detention, so she let out a small groan and approached him. "C-coach?" She twiddled her thumbs together, as he looked down on her and smirked. "Ah, Noami. What can I help you with?" He said with a small smirk. "Room 327- can you help me find it?" She mumbled looking down, she could barely stand to look him in the eyes- due to what had happened the day before. It only made her blush more and weak in the knees to think about it. "Ah, well your in luck." Coach Parker Samuels hummed, "Because I was just looking for my student who had detention- in 327. It's on the older side of the building- and since there's only one detention kid today, because the rest already did theirs during lunch break.. It's you." He chuckled, and Noami nodded slowly. "I do have detention.." she spoke softly, as she began to follow him to room 327.By the time they where there she had sat down on one of the older models of a student desk, "Damn, these are kind of shitty." She said- surprised at how unstable the desks where. "Language." Coach said as he sat down in his chair- eyeballing Noami. "Begin on whatever task you need, and if you need help- then I'm right here." Coach said as Noami began to pull out a folder, with a few pages on unfinished work. Another time skip She was only 15 minutes into detention, she just needed 15 more until she was done with her time. She looked up at Coach, slowly feeling weak in the knees once more- she could feel herself becoming wet. "Oh gosh.." she mumbled a little, unsure how to react. After another 2 minutes she came across a math problem she just didn't understand, "Coach." She spoke, standing up and walking up beside him and setting the paper down. "I don't understand this problem, can you help?" She said, eyeballing him.of course." I spot Jasmine as she tries to act cool and can't help but make a chuckle keeping my laughter inside. Sweet dreams by La Bouche started playing and Taylor started lip syncing the lyrics. I managed to smile but his voice seemed so girly.
