“You are such a slut trying to have Carter and Alex. Why don’t you go fuck them, hey have a threesome!” she shouted.
The gurgling sound erupted, but this time it was louder. Both Carter and Kaley stood in front of me. Carter immediately excused himself as I watched him run across the gymnasium with his legs squeezed together. OH! I couldn’t help but laugh. He must have caught Elijah’s bug or something. Totally gross.
“Seriously Kaley, get a life. I’m not the one flashing my flaps like a winning lottery ticket all over town.”
“No, just to Alex?” she asked mockingly.
“What exactly is your fucking problem with him?”
“I have no problem with him and clearly you don’t otherwise the two of you wouldn’t have been seen fucking on the hood of his car,” she sneered.
Oh holy fuck, so someone had seen. I was royally screwed but denial would be my best friend for now. SHIT SHIT SHIT. “Yeah, nice try Kaley. Don’t go making shit up about my friends.”
We were both standing there folding our arms in a face-off. Adriana, Alex, Logan, Jen, and a few other guys came over to stop what I thought was just about to happen. Kaley pushed me back. So the little bitch wanted to fight. I was just about to return the favor when I heard that sound again.
“What the fuck is that?” I asked, looking at Kaley.
Her face contorted as the sound intensified. She hugged her stomach attempting to run off but her heel was caught on my dress which trailed to the floor. She tugged on my dress with force, attempting to untangle the fabric from her heel.
“OW KALEY, STOP FUCKING MOVING YOU’RE STUCK ON MY DRESS!” I yelled.
“CHARLIE, LET GO OF ME!” she screamed.
?
??OH MY GOD KALEY, LET ME FUCKING GET YOUR HEEL OFF!”
It was too late. She covered her face and the gurgling stopped. Around me there was a massive eruption of laughter and it was only moments later I realized what happened. The corners of my lips curled. I fought back hard as my cheeks swelled momentarily with the pressure but it was no use. My laughter erupted, echoing through the crowd as I bent over, slapping my knee repeatedly. “Did you just shart yourself?” I shrieked.
“SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID BITCH!!”
Alex leaned down, unable to contain his laughter as he undid the heel from my dress. A mortified Kaley lifted her dress attempting to cover the brown spot that had formed against the pale pink fabric. The group of us fell to the ground in hysterics.
“Is everything okay?” Principal Sinclair asked.
“Yes, sir,” we all said in unison. We leaned on each other to stand up. This was a night to remember all right.
“Char, that was HILARIOUS! I have no idea why she is making up stuff about you and Alex though,” Adriana asked, looking confused as she attempted to catch her breath.
“Please, like I would touch this jerk with a ten-foot pole.” I chuckled, punching Alex in the arm. I was worried he would take offense but he caught on quickly to the game we were playing.
“Nice Char,” he teased, mimicking Adriana’s nickname for me.
“OH MY GOD YOU GUYS!!”
Our heads turned to where Adriana was looking. Standing there at the entrance of the gymnasium was Elijah in his crisp baby blue suit with black shirt buttoned down. He looked like he belonged in the 1960s, but he rocked that suit. It was a modern take and no one could have pulled that off except Elijah Morrison.
“Baby cakes!” Adriana screamed, pulling Elijah into an embrace. She chatted animatedly to Elijah explaining every detail of the night so far. Their long reunion gave Alex a moment to whisper something into my ear.
“Now,” were the only words he spoke. I followed him to the punch table which was conveniently located next to a hidden exit. Slipping our way through unnoticed, he pulled my hand and we ended up in a corridor not far from my Biology class. “Is this your Biology class?”
“Yes,” I answered, unsure of where he was going with this.
He pulled me to the door and turned the handle. It was unlocked. The room was dark of course except for a slight hint of the moon. “Which one is your desk?”
“The one at the back by the window,” I answered, still baffled.
He led me to the desk and cupped my face, kissing me hard, our tongues in a frenzy after being apart for a week. I missed him, God I fucking missed everything about him.
