CHAPTER EIGHT!(:
~*~*~*~*~
“John! John, wait!” Scarlet yelled, running after him. “Catch up, c’mon!” he hollered. “You made me wear heels! Johnny wait!” she stopped jogging, and stared at him. He walked back towards her, and picked her up. “Alright, c’mon” he started walking a little faster again. “Where are we going anyway?” Scarlet looked up at him with naturally wide eyes. “Zachary wants me to meet him at this new club downtown, and I’m not going without you” he kept walking then stopped when they reached the end of a line that seemed to stretch on for a whole block. “But why do you want to go? I thought you didn’t like Zachary” she looked up at him. “Sometimes I like him and sometimes I don’t” he shrugged, putting her on her feet. “I hate these shoes!” she exclaimed picking up her feet and stomping them back onto the ground. “Well, you didn’t bring any shoes of your own so you had to use my moms,” John stated dully. “You should’ve thought about that before you ran away.” “I didn’t think you’d be asking me to go to a stupid club with you, my feet are going to be killing me when we go home.” She whined. “Then I’ll carry you home too, just relax and please pull that skirt down just a little” he looked down at her legs. “If I pull it down any further you’ll be able to see the top of my underwear!” she stated. “So? It’s better than seeing the bottom of your underwear” John put his hand on the rim of her skirt and pulled it down just slightly. “Johnny, stop it!” she laughed, pushing his hands away. “What? Did that tickle, or something?” he laughed too, then pushed his fingers against her sides gently. “Stop it,” she giggled. “Stop it!” “I didn’t know you were ticklish” he stated. “Yes you did, don’t lie,” she pushed his hands away again. “you’ve known since I was seven” “Yeah, I know” he smiled at her, a genuine, true smile. She found herself smiling back, she lurched forward and her arms wrapped around John’s waist. “Johnny” she whispered against his navy blue t-shirt. “Yes? What’s the matter?” he put his arms around her, and rubbed her back smoothly. “I’m sorry, I really am” she murmured. “It’s fine, I already said it was alright” he pushed her away and gave her another smile. “John, man, over here!” Zachary waved him over. “C’mon Aggie” he took her hand, lacing their fingers together in a friendly way. “Who’s the babe?” Zach pulled his glasses down the long bridge of his nose and glanced her over. She started fiddling with John’s hand under the pressure of Zach’s gaze. She was wearing one of John’s older sister’s shirt, it was a v-neck shirt with sleeves that hung barely on her shoulders with a belt to hold it close under her chest with floral patterns on it with a jean mini skirt and brown knee high boots to match the belt on the shirt. “I’m Scarlet” | “An innocent name for an innocent girl” Zach winked at her. “I beg your pardon?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “Hey there” the strange boy pulled up next to her, causing her to jump. “What is it?” Zach looked at her. “Um, it’s nothing” she shook her head, and ignored the boy standing next to her. “I thought you said she could see you” a girl appeared next to the boy, with short red hair and bright hazel eyes. “She can see me,” the boy said. “She’s just choosing to ignore me” he smirked. "Hey” John waved at the boy and the girl. “Hi! I’m Anastasia!” the girl said enthusiastically, waving right back at him. “Who are you talking to, man?” Zach asked, looking directly at Anastasia and the boy but obviously not seeing anything. “Apparently her name is Anastasia” John stated. “I thought her name was Scarlet” Zach pointed to Scarlet, raising his eyebrows. “Never mind, if you’ll excuse me Zachary, I’ll be right back” Scarlet turned and started to walk away from the group. “I’m coming too!” Anastasia stated, grabbing the boys hand and dragging him after her. Then John came along behind them too. “Who are you guys and why do you keep following me around?” Scarlet crossed her arms on her chest and glared at the two strangers. “Actually, this is my first time meeting you” Anastasia smiled. “Yes, yes, I know, but who are you?” she looked between Anastasia and the no-named boy. “You really don’t need to know my name, she’s just overly friendly” the boy put an arm around ‘Anastasia’s’ shoulders. “We could be great friends, I’m Anastasia,” she held out her hand. “And you are?” “I’m John Truman” John was the first to shake the girl’s hand. “And you?” she turned to Scarlet “It’s Scarlet Conrad” she shook Anastasia’s hand. “And you lied to me about your name because?” the boy looked at her. “Because you lied about yours” she stated. “Fair enough” the boy shrugged. “Seriously though, what’s your name?” John looked at him. “He’s Oliver” Anastasia smiled. “Oliver Kennsington” he put his fingers halfway from the bent position to his face and gave an air filled salute. |
