Chapter 8

~ Karlie ~

-          Yup I do!, I said sitting next to Bek on a two-seater swing.

-          I can’t sleep., she admitted.

-          I can’t either., I added laughing.

-          I can’t sleep on the floor., Bek said laughing.

-          I… ah… um yeah…, I said looking away.

-          You bad girl!, Bek said looking at me.

-          What?

-          Ryan’s top., she said pulling at the button up top I grabbed.

-          Leave me alone., I said laughing.

-          Anyone know?

-          Nope! They aren’t going to either., I said swinging my feet.

-          Okay!, she said trying not to laugh.

-          Well, it’s more a thing for me and Ryan to know about…

-          Karlie cut out all the bull shit and tell me the truth., Bek said looking me in the eye.

-          I just don’t want to., I admitted.

-          Fair nuff! But why were you outside?, Bek said.

-          You know the usual. The guy falls asleep straight after., I said laughing.

-          I don’t think I need to know., she said laughing.

-          Look! You need some sleep so go to bed and I’ll speak to ya when I wake up., I said as I stood up.

-          How you going to get back in?, Bek asked me.

-          The way I came down! I’ve had practice you know?, I said laughing.

* The Following Morning *

-          Rise and Shine everybody!, I said at 11 in the morning.

-          Go away! I’m tired!, Tilky moaned.

-          I have a headache., Dee sighed rubbing her eyes.

-          What time is it?, Buffy asked looking up from the corner her and Steve slept in.

-          Eleven in the morning! You have missed breakfast at McDonalds so you’re going to have to put up with my cooking., I said pulling at people’s sleeping bags.

-          I’m going to be sick., Dee said running towards the toilet.

-          Dee it’s taken! Go to the toilet upstairs., I said laughing.

-          Oh god!, I heard Dee call out.

-          Clay’s in there being sick also., I explained to everyone and everyone understood.

* In The Afternoon *

-          Next time we have a party. I’m leaving the cleaning up to Clay., Ryan sighed while we finished cleaning.

-          Next party can be at Tilky’s place., I said laughing.

-          Well I’ll have to take a blanket for us to share., Ryan said winking at me.

-          In your dream’s Goodell., I said smiling.

-          That’s all I’m going to get tonight huh?, he said.

-          Dreams? Yup, or use your hand.

-          Thanks mouse!, Ryan said shaking his head.

-          What the go with the mouse nick name? I mean god! I’m almost 6 foot and you nick name me mouse?, I asked.

-          Because, you are the complete opposite to a mouse, loud, big and mean.

-          Thanks! I guess…, I said shaking my head while Ryan gave me a big hug.

-          You know what I mean., Ryan said kissing my forehead.

-          Do I?

-          Yes you do my smart mouse., he said laughing.

-          Look it’s almost five and I told dad I would be home about then. So I should get going., I said looking at my watch.

-          I’ll drive you home?, Ryan asked me.

-          Sure! Just let me say goodbye to Clay okay?, I said walking towards Clay’s room.

-          Hey Clay I’ll see you tomorrow?, I asked through his door.

-          Hum… yeah… sure…, Clay said quickly opening the door a little.

-          Hey! You’re okay?, I asked laughing at him.

-          I’m fine why?, he asked looking behind him.

-          Sure!, I said nodding before pushing his door open.
