Close Your Eyes

4.Brian is so annoying

"Surprise b***h!!" yelled Brian as he barged into my room and plopped on the bed.

Brian Mcnoughty. squad member number 3. he was the hottest school jock to ever exist .all the girls and even some guys used to drool over him. Mr.Naughty was his school title. I don't think he can ever live that one down. I'm pretty sure he has banged all the girls at school (except me because I'm not very attractive or interested. but not gonna lie, he really gets involved in my life.

he is one of my squad, who didn't make it to the same college, as he wanted a degree in Physical Education(which is apt). I've seen him shirtless at times, mowing his yard or something. (excuse me, I see him because he is my freaking neighbor. he just lives opposite to me, and I can see his yard clearly from my own bedroom window.) he is ripped , not gonna lie.[ :) ]. he's about 6'2 with golden fake tan skin and looks as if he spent his entire life in the gym and I even doubt if he drinks Whey from a sucking n****e bottle .

but I don't know why , I never fell for him. I often compared him with Derek, who is thin, less muscular(not nil) but had an infectious smile, which would grab the attention of silent girls specially ( me ? what a coincidence) . but I really hated the cold gaze he gave me, if I did anything not to his liking .

when me and Derek were together, he used to keep track of my movements and would ask me to do favors, like to fetch some packages, which were handed out to me by some anonymous masked-trench coat guys. seems fishy enough but like a typical girl I went along with it."what is it baby?? I would ask , only to be shut up by the usual response "ahh, its some delightful beauties for my buddies"

"why are you looking at me like you want me? aren't you dating that dickhead wimp or something like that." Brian gives me a seductive look

"can you not give me that look. also I never asked you to be here. also I'm not dating him anymore. plus, why are you here?" I sigh. why does he try to flirt with me.

as Brian was opening his mouth to respond, in came another familiar face.

"HIIIIIIIIIIII MAYBEEEL!" Hayley yelled

Hayley Yan. squad member number 4, who chose to go to the same college as Brian when they decided that they didn't want a long distance relationship. Brian insisted that the long distance thing would work for sure, as he also wanted to flirt with new chicks. but Hayley was adamant. 'the spark would fade' was her answer. at that point Brian realized that he made a mistake being in a relationship. but then he decided to stick with her as she was hot too and she was almost always ready to smash. typical jock behavior.

she is real hot. with her curvy body and skimpy cheerleader outfit (yes she is a cheerleader) and a smile that would attract any guy from a mile apart, she is hot stuff. also being a cheerleader amps it up.

she used to stick around with me in school. we were also in the swim team so we used to spend a lot of time together till Brian was attracted to her. then slowly she drifted away from me to him. but we still remained friends.

Brian and I are just acquaintances. we never talked really much, except for random stuff when we were all sitting together at the lunch table or had same classes. most of his attempts were to try and get laid but I dodged them all.

"Hi Hayley." we hug.

"God . where were you! I've been trying to contact you since last week . Our semester break began, so I wanted to know your whereabouts!" she said hugging me tightly and then in a whisper " I'm so sorry about mac".

"yeah." I whisper back and pull away

we turned around to look at Brian, who was staring at us.

"ooo Mabel, you know she isn't your type. quit hitting on her and whispering sweet nothings" said Brian sarcastically, waving a finger at me.

"what brings you both here?" I ask

"Like Haley said, sem break. Also Nick told me you were home. met him on the sidewalk while I was going with Hayley to the park. kinda rude if we didn't pop in, also when we heard that you were going through a difficult phase." Brian took out his phone and started playing with it.

"Thank you" I say

"by the way, Have you called Lizzy, Stella or anyone? you might want to know about whats going on currently, you know." Hayley says.

"nah I haven't . I should really call them now. you guys won't leave now right" I ask, doubting whether I accidentally exceeded my given leaves.

" whats that on your laptop? what is grams? Looks like google to me, hey can I-" Brian started getting up

I realized that I had left my screen on. I quickly went and shut it down as Brian reached for it.

"hm , very weird . I won't be forgetting that Mabel. rude" Brian glares at me "what is it anyway?"

"none of your business" I say as I walk out of the room.

I took my phone and searched for 'Stella Tucker', and dialed her

"hi Mabel. How are you now?"

"I'm fine. Is there anything going on at uni now?"

"no haha, have you forgotten its time for our breaks. I'm home now"

"wow I really lost track of things."

"its okay, just get better. see you next sem"

"right"

and she cut the phone.

looks like everyone has returned home now.

I went back to the room and on seeing me Brian said

"girl you gotta leave that mans. he is plain toxic. "says the most 'non toxic' person ever

"you know , he is right" Hayley piped up

"yeah , I don't really care now" I say , suddenly thinking of Derek

"what did your batch mate say?"

"its break now"

"Thats great. Hayley get up. I really gotta go to the gym after the park date. my muscles are sad that they missed arm day yesterday" Brian suddenly gets up "take care Mabel and, you and I are going out on Tuesday for free tacos!" and he gives me a flirty look.

Hayley sighed.

"take care mabel." she said and followed him.

as I turned around to take my laptop,

"yo , if you want I'll wake you up every morning at 4 for my special 'breaking backs' gym session!just gimme a call." and Brian runs off

startled, I nearly dropped my laptop.

Brian is so annoying .

9 pm and I'm finally ready to open up this website. I prayed for a little extra while today so that I don't mess s**t up. mom was shocked to see me pray this much. her happiness was shown in the roasted chicken she ordered up 'specially' for me.

ugh. I feel sleepy, but I really need to get on with this. I know nights are dangerous times, but then gotta make do.

so I finally got on grams. I specially made sure not to click on any annoying random click baits. I got on the random BBC mirror website. I saw articles which were never EVER going to turn up on the surface web. along side the articles were ads, selling Viagra, molly, c***k, stamps (no not the ones to be stuck on a letter),weed, AK-47s, atom bombs(sheesh),uranium(wow OK) at extremely low prices and payments were to be done in bitcoins. really could stock on some uranium, so that I can start a new nuclear power plant.

I decided that I don't have anything to do with it. I went back to the homepage and suddenly the screen went black.

ah s**t.

.

.

.

I waited.

.

.

and then suddenly like a jump scare, some random ass p**n website began playing its ad, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY A FULL VIDEO.

I cringed immediately. keeping my eyes partially closed, I tried to get rid of the window but it wouldn't go.

the girl started moaning and I was like f***s sake. I did NOT wanna wake my mom , thinking I'm getting on it with some girl. my mom really questions my sexuality these days.

THIS THING WONT EVEN MUTE ARGH. I finally opened up the task manager and quit the browser. everything went quiet at last. Hope my mom did not hear this.

Nick was right, this is a scary place.

I decided I would sleep for now and call Nick first thing in the morning.

just before I closed my eyes, my phone pinged a notification.

I opened it to see a message.
