At dinner the topic was horrifyingly enough about me, when though given the fact that there was not much to talk about.
"Oh Pete! Do you remember when you were about seven and Autumn was about five and she fell down and scraped her knee? You wouldn't let her mom put the band aid on it, you demanded to do it yourself.you even gave it a little kiss." Dale giggled.
"Yeah mom, I remember" Pete groaned and rolled his eyes as if he has herd that story a thousand times or more.
After dinner Hillary told her parents she would clean up so they could get going to their hotel for the night.
"You girls have fun! Pete, make sure nothing happens!" Mr.Wentz called from the livinr room before we herd the front floor close.
I sat with Hillary in the kitchen after she had done the dishes.
"Hilly!" Came a squeal from the kitchen door way. Hillary jumped down from her seat on the kitchen counter and put her phone awayvti hug her friends.
"Gwen!Amber!" She yelled back.
"Sorry, I accidentally let a few sick ugly frogs in." Pete joked now appearing in the door way.
"Shut up Pete! You know, we don't need a baby sitter." Hillary growled at him. I thought I saw Pete glance at me for a moment but by the time I looked he had already looked away.
"Good, I'm out of here" he said then turned around and walked off.
"Who's she?" The brunette of the two girls asked rudely with her arms crossed looking right at me.
"That's just Autumn, she's here for a couple of months or whatever. Our moms are friends." Hillary said.
"Ew. I hope she's not planning on joining us tonight." The blonde one said looking at me disgustedly. I didn't say anything but I got up and walked passed them and went up to my room. I decided to get changed for bed and turn on the TV. I watched a few shows before there was a knock on my bedroom door and Hillary piked her head in.
"Hey, sorry about my friends, they can be kind of mean some times." Hillary said apologetically as she entered my room the rest of the way.
"Its alright, I guess." I said.
"Their really sorry. Why don't you come on down and watch some movies with us? I promise they won't be mean again, we even made you an extra bowl of popcorn." Hillary offered.
"Sure" I agreed and followed her downstairs. I might as well try to make friends while I'm here.
I sat with the girls on the living room floor with pillows and blankets laying all around and Hillary handed me a bowl of popcorn and a glass bottle. I saw that the other girls were drinking one too. I eyed the bottle carefully, I had never drank alcohol and wasn't sure if I wanted to.
"Go on, its fine, we won't get in trouble." Hillary urged. The girls watched me carefully as I opened it and took a drink. It was pretty gross but I hid the disgust from my face as I took another drink.
"Sorry about earlier, we didn't know if you were cool or not. I'm amber." The blonde girl said.
"I'm Gwen. Yeah any girl that's down to have some fun is a friend of ours." The brunette said.
We each went through a couple beers as we watched a movie.
"I'm bored!" Hillary whined.
"Let's play truth or dare." Gwen suggested.
"Fine, but your going first since you suggested it and since Autumn is new she gets to make up the truth or dare." Hillary said.
"Fine, dare." Gwen said bravely. I thought up a good dare.
"I dare you to eat a whole piece of paper" I said.
"Hillary ran off and came back with a blank sheet of paper and handed it to Gwen who ripped off pieces and quickly ate them. I was almost sure she wasn't going to be able to do it but she end up devouring the whole sheet without so much as batting an eye. Next Gwen dared Hillary to lick a toilet seat which she did also fearlessly. Then Hillary dared Amber ho hold her head under Ice water in the sink for as long as she could. Next was my turn.
"Truth or dare?" Amber lifted a brow as she asked me. I thought about picking truth but all the other girls picked dare and I didn't want to be the loser that coped out.
"Dare." I said braver than I actually felt.
"I dare you to take your shirt off and stand outside in the back yard for one minute." Amber said.
"Not fair! She gets the easy one, they have a fenced in back yard, its only a minute and, and its warm outside." Gwen whined
"Well duh! She's the new girl, it supposed to be easy for her." Hillary said shutting Gwen up. It didn't seem too easy for me but I guess it could of been worse. I stood up, took my shirt off and threw it on the couch revealing my electric green bra. I followed Hillary to the sliding glass door in the kitchen and stepped out.
"Start counting." Hillary said before closing the door and locking it. I counted silently to myself as they watched from the glass. It was one of the longest minutes of my life. As soon as I got to one minute the girls disappeared from the door. I tried pulling it open but it was still locked.
" Come on, this isn't funny, let me in" I said knocking on the glass.I sighed and covered my chest as my arms hugged myself, I knew it was a fenced in yard but this felt so awkward. I could risk my chances of someone seeing me and try going around to the front door, but chances were that it was locked too "Great.Just great." I muttered to myself as I looked up at the clear and starry Illinois sky. I began to hear the gate open and preyed that it was one of the girls but it was pretty dark and I couldn't see but whoever it was could see me because I was standing in the light of the kitchen coming from the sliding glass door.
"Autumn?" Pete's voice questioned. I saw him clearly now, he turned around as soon as he realized I was shirtless.
"Did Hillary and her goons do this to you?" He asked taking off his short and throwing it backwards to me without even turning around.
I great fully put on the black Misfits t-shirt.
"Yeah, I guess I fell for their prank, thanks Pete." I said and he turned around and quickly eyed me in the shirt before telling me to follow him to the front door.
He got out his keys and went to unlock the door
"I think I'm going to stay out here a bit." I said then sat down on the step.
"I better stay with you in case one of those brats decides to lock you out again. He said sitting down beside me still shirtless.
Things were silent a moment before I decided to make conversation.
" So that story your mom told at dinner was umm..."
"Awkward?" Pete finished for me with a smile.
"Pretty much. Your mom keeps saying we were friends when we were little but I don't really remember it." I said
"Seriously? I don't know if I remember because I'm older or if my mom has told me the stories so many times that they've been drilled into my head, but I do know that part of the story she told at dinner tonight wasn't true. You didn't fall down and scrape your knee, Hillary pushed you. I felt like I had to protect you from her all the time." He said.
"Looks like you still are." I laughed then yawned.
"We should really get you back in, you wreak of alcohol and you look pretty tired." He said and I nodded and followed him in.
As we came into the living room the girls turned around to giggle at me wearing Pete's shirt and Pete's lack of one.
"Looks like someone stole your man Gwen." Amber said and I noticed Gwen was shooting me the most poisonous of looks.
"Shut it you gaggle of bitches!"Pete yelled angrily at them on the floor. "I'm telling mom about this whole thing. And if any of you decide to mess with Autumn again just remember I'm not above hitting a girl." Pete threatened.
"Go ahead tell mom I'm sure she wouldn't mind knowing your little secret too, you know the one about where you go at night." Hillary said sharply.
"Do it Hillary, I dare you. You know what will happen." Pete growled. The girls said nothing else and Pete grabbed my shirt up that was still on the couch. As I followed him up the stairs I couldn't help but feel like Gwen was still staring daggers into my back.we got up to the hall leading into our rooms and I decided to speak when he handed me my shirt.
"Give me a second and I'll change so you can have your shirt back." I said.
"No, you keep it. It looks pretty cool on you." He said then walked off into his room closing the door behind him.
I went into mine and did the same and got into bed still wearing Pete's shirt. Immediately fell asleep.
I woke up a few times in the night to Hear Pete's door open and creek closed.
