Electric Twist - Ch. 6
I know it's been forever but here it is FINALLY.
Hi guys, thanks for being so patient with me! To tell you the truth, I kinda got sick of these weirdos. Yep, I know dread the names Scott an Anna. So I'm gonna try to finish this quickly so I can get at least ONE story done. PLATYPUS
I rolled over on my bed expecting to hit the soft fluff of my blanket, but instead, I hit skin. A bare chest to be exact. I started freaking out when the person who owned the bare chest said, "Oww," I took my sharpest elbow (yes, I have very pointy elbows) and jabbed the side of his stomach.
"Owwwwww!" He groaned curling over, clutching his stomach. "Jesus Christ, if you wanted me to leave, you could've asked! You didn't have to attack me!!"
Then I finally realized it was Scott. Ooops. "Oh crap Scott, I'm so sorry! I forgot you slept over!" I said frantically pressing the side I jabbed, just to make sure it was okay. Scott was still groaning with his eyes squeezed tight. I gasped and ran out my door, making sure it was closed. I don't need my parents finding a half naked boy on my bed. I sprinted into the kitchen and took the ice pack out of the freezer. To my surprise, no one was downstairs. I glanced at the clock. 8:13 AM! Wow, considering how long we stayed up talking, I didn't think I'd be up this early.
When I reached my bedroom, Scott was curled up on my bed with his knees up to his chin. "Christ, Scott it doesn't hurt that much does it?" I asked worriedly, closing my door.
"Mmhmm," He groaned. I walked over to him and sat beside him on the bed. I removed is hand from the spot I injured. I gasped, it was all red. Kind of swollen, but mostly red. "That bad?" Scott managed to squeak out. His green eyes were wide with worry.
"No, no baby it's okay," I said reassuringly patting his belly, "It will get better. Just don't mess with it. Here take the ice pack." I placed the ice pack on his side very carefully. I totally forgot Scott had baby skin. When he played football, he would get cuts and bruises that were totally gross... to me. But to him, they were a sign of manliness. I sighed and looked at the round mirror at the end of my bed. The picture of us was actually quite humorous. A crazy haired teenage girl in her jammies, sitting next to a shirtless, muscular(ish) guy with patronizing green eyes clutching the ice pack to him. Yes, it was quite humorous.
"Uh, I'm gonna go change and take a shower. Will you be okay here?" I asked Scott remembering that I hadn't even walked into the bathroom ever since I woke up. I stroked his cheek when he just stared at me. "I'll only be...15 minutes. At the most." I said trying to reason. And for some miracle, it worked! "Okay, but hurry. Oh and lock the door."
"I wasn't planning to leave my bathroom door unlocked." I said raising my eyebrows.
"I meant your bedroom door, genius. Do you want your parents finding me here?" He said rolling his eyes, but he was laughing.
"Oh, oh right. Yeah okay I'll do that." I got up and locked the bedroom door. I walked into my bathroom but before I closed the door, I heard Scott call, "15 MINUTES!!" I laughed and closed the door.
Scott's POV
She took FOREVER in there! Seriously I swear that wasn't fifteen minutes. How long does it take for a girl to shower and change!? I heard the shower go off after like twenty minutes. It was torture. I had to sit there with the ice back on my side for a whole 30 minutes. Annalea has the sharpest elbows I have ever seen... or felt. I don't have to worry about defending her in dark alleys anymore. Those things are like freakin weapons. Finally after the agonizing thirty minutes, she walked out in a white V neck T-Shirt, basketball shorts and a towel wrapped around her head. I started snickering. She looked hilarious. Not in a bad way, in an absolutely cute way
.
"What?" She asked frowning, "What are you laughing at?"
"Huh? Nothing," laugh, "nothing, it's just..." laugh "your head!" then I burst out laughing all over again.
"Hey!" she said opening up the towel wrapped around her head, "it's not funny! My hair is long so it takes a while to dry!" I laughed even harder at her defense speech. I could see her fighting back a smile. She threw the wet towel at me and it landed on my face. It smelled like Dove soap and lavender shampoo. It was surprisingly different from my axe body wash and stuff. I smiled when I saw her face after I took the towel off. She looked angry but the ends of her mouth were twitching. I started making weird faces and imitating her voice.
"Oh me gosh, that is like so totally your color! That dress is absolutely fab!" I said throwing my hands around. Then she burst out laughing. "I never said that! And I don't talk like that either! Seriously what's with those hand movements?!" She didn't notice but she was doing those hand movements right now. I laughed at her confused expression and opened my arms up for a hug. She smiled sheepishly and said, "but I'm all wet!" I chuckled and whispered, "all the better... I think it sexy."
She grinned with all her pearly white teeth showing and ran into me for a hug.
"Ooof," I groaned when she sat on me, closing my windpipes. She giggled, rolled off me and lied down next to me. I could feel her arms wound around my waist and she laid her head down on my chest. I dunno but it felt so... Right. I can't believe I never told her how I felt earlier. If I could go back in time I would totally slap myself. I ran my fingers through her long, brown hair.
"Why?" I heard her ask in a quiet voice.
"Why what?"
"Why'd you say yes to Jean?" Oh crappers, I've been dreading this question all night. I knew she would ask, but I didn't know what to say.
"Well," I said shifting uncomfortably under her piercing gaze, "She just came up to me and asked. I didn't think about it. I just said yes. I totally gave myself crap about it afterwards. I really don't like her."
"Uh-huh," She said skeptically, "so, does she know that we are together now?"
"Well, no but I'm gonna tell her!" I said quickly before she could poke me with her elbow weapons. She nodded and went back to making circles around my belly button. Yeah it sounds pretty weird but it sure feels good. Then my phone started vibrating. I groaned, it was probably my mom. Anna laughed and handed it to me.
"Hello?" I asked trying to sound as nice as possible.
"Honey! It's almost nine AM! Where are you?" My mom asked frantically.
"Oh uuh I'm... walking home right now... I just left the house. Ben's mom wouldn't let me leave without breakfast."
"Okay honey, be safe."
"Yeah yeah, whatever mom." Then I hung up. Anna looked at me hopefully and I shook my head. She sighed and sat up.
"Well, I might as well bring you some food so you don't scarf down everything in your house when you get home." She said, smirking.
"Hey! I don't eat that much!" I said in my defense. My stomach growled in response.
"Seriously? You ate TWO whole bags of popcorn last night, THREE cans of soda, and like FIVE peanut butter sandwiches."
"What... I was hungry."
She laughed, "You might as well have emptied out the whole refrigerator."
"Just get me some food." I grumbled.
She laughed and kissed me on my cheek. I watched her skip out of the room and close the door. I've never seen her this happy before. I mean yeah she's always jumping around and smiling but today, she was like a sun in... in... a swamp? Well, that's a bad comparison but still, she is pretty happy now. She skipped back into the room with a tray of pancakes. I gulped all of them down immediately and looked at her. She was sitting at her desk typing on her laptop.
"I'm dooone!" I called to her. She looked up and smiled at me. Then she helped me up and threw me my clothes. I put them on, careful not to touch my sides. Then she told me to wait there while she checked her parent's room. She came back a few minutes later and said, "Okay, the coast is clear. We have to be quick though." I nodded and we walked out the door. She ran me through the house and we quietly crept past her parent's bedroom door.
At the door she looked at me with a small smile on her face.
"I'll be back, don't worry you won't have to wait long." I said giving her a peck on the cheek. She smiled wider and opened the door.
"See ya later then!" She called to me as I left in the direction of my house.
