Chapt. Two


    Courney's pov.


    So I went straight to my room (as always) after school and started going through my Музыка for the party. I have TONS of choices to choose from. морган prefers screamo, I like rock and pop, Duncan likes whatever морган decides he's supposed to like, and all I have is about every band and genre Ты could possibly dream of. I know there are a lot of country Фаны and even jazz Фаны but I doubt any highschooler would enjoy jammin' out to Glenn Miller (sorry Glenn Miller) at a big party. Besides, it's all about the football players, anyway. I want at least one country mix, screamo, rap, and rock mix at this party.
    When I decide on the tunes, I start to get the Еда items ready, since морган put me in sharge of that too. I have crap for party Еда in my refrigerator so I make a grocery Список and head out the door.
    When I arrive at what I swear is my секунда home, Wal-Mart, I go for some pretzels, Chex-Mix, chips, hamburger, wings:), hot dogs, and some ingredients for арбуз манго перфоратор, удар, пунш (delicious). I have pop at Главная and they can pig out all they want with that much. When I pass the jewelry section in the middle of the store, I see a gorgeous charm bracelet for Morgan. It has blue and black hearts and stars on it. Her Избранное shapes and colors! I grab two of the bracelets and pay for my things at the register.
    When I get back Главная it's already dark and I'm getting pretty tired. I put the groceries in the appropreit places, get ready for bed, and fall fast..fast.. asleep.

    Running.... Running fast.... Something's wrong- I can feel it. Shaking and scared I run far away from whatever I'm running from. I've never been so frightened in my life. When I think I've ran all I could and I'm безопасно, сейф from danger, I stop. I look at my surroundings and see absolute darkness. I figure it's just nighttime and I strain to make out something, anything, but all I can hear, feel, see, smell, taste, and sense is a neverending abyss of blackness. I can't breathe. I can't think. I feel so.. alone. I need to wake up from this nightmare but I can't. As my blank mind reaches out to anyone, anything, I begin to regret running away. At least then I could feel, I could experience some kind of emotion. Now all I want is to stop dreaming and just wake up. Get away from this lonely state and feel something again. ANYTHING!! I long for life again!
    And as soon as I was in, I was out. I awoke from that terrifying dream and feel very wet. Did I.. Pee?? No- it's sweat. My whole body is covered in salty hot sweat. I wake up with a bad feeling, and the день turns out to be a series of unfortunate events

    "Hey Court! I need Ты to do me a favor, Ты know how морган is like really clingy? How do I get a день to hang with the guys, right? Well what I was hoping Ты could do for me is take her out for like some 'Girls' день Out' er something so that me and the guys could go hang out at the ravine? This is like only a one-time thing 'cause don't get me wrong I like морган and all that, but everyone is getting on my nervs about how I'm Актёрское искусство like her slave er whatever but I need Ты to do this one thing for me, please? Just this one time. I Любовь being with морган but I haven't had a день with the guys in weeks! So could Ты help a guy out er what? I'll find some way to repay Ты I promise. I just need this one -"

    "Okay, okay just calm down already I'll take her out tomorrow- just chill." I laugh between words at Duncan.

    "You are the best girlfriend's best friend in the world!" he says, then holds my face in his big strong hands and kisses me three times. Once on my forehead and once on each cheek. I flush and he notices. There is at once a thick silence drawn between us until....

    "Courtney?! Is that you!? With Duncan?!"

    Morgan. I think. Uh- oh. I could just imagine what this must look like to her. Her boyfriend is holding my face up close to his. And I'm her best FRIEND.

    "I cannot believe this!" is all she says before she quickly walks away with tears running down her cheeks.

    Duncan drops his hands and looks into my brown eyes when he says, "I-I- don't know what just happened."

    "Uh, Duncan I don't think we're gonna need that 'Girls день Out' plan anymore.." I say, then forget it because he's already going after her. Running as fast as he can toward the direction she went in. Leaving this situation. The best situation of my life. The first time he ever kissed me, the only time he will ever Kiss me. Three times.

And this is only the beginning..
