Chapter 7
Selena~~
"I'm sorry Hunter," I gritted through my teeth, "Me, Bianca, and Yosselin were supposed to have our sleepover tonight but I guess some people can't tell time !" I showed Hunter to the door. Squeals were coming from behind me, oooh these two are gonna get it.
We all plopped down on the couch with a bowl of Flamin' Hot Cheetohs and a 8-pack of strawberry Fanta "Why do you two never have good timing ?" I groaned. Hunter and I were having such a good time, talking about soccer, playing video games, chilling.
Yosselin was my bestfriend as well from middle school. Short, Hispanic, Repunzal length brown haired , girl who moved to MD when she was 8 from El Salvador. She has slight Spanish accent in her voice but it's not strong. We didn't sit with each other at lunch because she knows I only have one class with Bianca.
"Hunter AroGazos ?" question Yosselin while channel surfing, "I've known he's had a thing for you since the 6th grade. He'd always steal our paint back in art remember ?"
Hahaha. I remember that day perfectly. I was almost done with my painting of the a turtle at sea (I'm a REALLY good artist btw) And I couldn't find the red paint for the "sunset effect". I turn to the seat behind me and find Hunter waving it in my face.
I wanted to snatch it from him and wring his neck but I was sick and kept sneezing. Until that one very minute when he held it exactly on point, I sneezed, and with my arm flailing I smack the jar and it FLINGS all over Hunter's face. The whole class roared with laughter including me and Yosselin. Aaah memories.
We all started to burst out with laughter.
~~~
Hours had passed of us reminiscing about the past, talking about school, my date, and shiz, until Bianca sprung up with a bright smile on her face. Aww crap, whenever she does that it either involves someone (aka me) getting hurt, shoved, stripped, or humiliated.
"Who wants to play truth or dare ?" she snickered as she stared at me. Yosselin and I slightly nodded in disapproval at the tone of her voice. It didn't sound to "friendly or playful"
She leaned over to Yosselin and whispered something in her ear. Both of their faces lighten up the room with grins and giggles. Damn it, I'm the one being dared. Yosselin scouching over my way whispered into my ear.
No. No. HELL NO !
"I'm not doing it !!" I demanded. They must be outta their mind if they think I'm gonna do that.
All of a sudden two $100 bills came from their hands. WOAH ! How the heck do they have this kinda cash ? I did need that kinda money for new art utensils... "Fine" I grudged while grabbing my school photo camera. Excited squeals were coming from Bianca and Yosselin. Ugh, why am I friend with them ?
"Make it a good one batch !" shouted Bianca as I walked out of the apartment. Why all this for $200 ?

Hunter~~
It was about 11:00 and I'm just watching re-runs of Bones in the living room. I couldn't stop craving cherries for some reason. A sudden burst of the front door averted my attention. Oh, it was just my older sister, Sharon, walking in with Boston Market inna take out bag.
"Here's dinner Hunter," she murmured, "I brought you their apple pie"
"Ugh Sharon ! Why couldn't you've bought cherry ?!"
"Hey, shut up ! I bought what I bought okay ? I coulda eat it and brought you the damn bones"
"Yeah, yeah. I guess"
I grabbed a plate from the shelves and forked some corn and Mac & Cheese. I could tell she was running some thoughts through her head. She was my 24 year sister who lived with me while Mom and Dad were away onna business trip for a year.
"Why do you suddenly like cherries anyway ? I thought you're fav was apple ?" she questioned while tying up her dirty blond hair. I shrugged my shoulders. To be honest I don't know myself.
~~~
After that meal, Sharon went to her room and I decided to hop in the shower. It was late and I hadn't taken one in the morning, I can't smell like crap, Imma clean person. I grabs my towel, pjs, phone, and hopped in the shower. I played me the classic Michael Jackson album today. I felt so cool and bad today. I earned it.

Selena~~
KNOCK KNOCK !
"Oh God I hope nobody answers," I prayed while hiding my camera in my pocket. It was 11:30pm and I'm knocking on Hunter AroGazos door uninvited. A couple months ago, I pictured my senior year not the start up like this.
To my surprised an older woman with light brown eyes, dirty blonde hair, and perfect tan skin opened the door. To call her beautiful was an understatement, she was drop-dead gorgeous.
"Um, hi" I stuttered while waving my fingers nervously
"Um, hi. Who are you ?" she questioned with a suspicious look. I've known her since elementary school but never really "knew" her. She probably didn't recognize me without my glasses and hair down.
I knew I didn't belong here ! Oh, this had better be worth $200. "I'm here because of Hunter," I lied, "He just called me over because I'm tutoring him in World History. He needed help with the weekend homework"
That was one of the biggest lies of my entire life:
1. I/Him don't have each others numbers
2. Mrs. Fletcher never gave weekend homework
3. I myself needed tutoring for History
4. I. Don't. Like. Hunter.
She swung the door open and let me inside. "Look, I'll be in my room, it's getting late," she said, "Hunter's room is down the hall to the right." She started to pace to her room (on the left) and slammed it shut and jiggled it locked. Welp, at least she's outta the picture.
I pulled my camera outta my pocket and creeped over near Hunter's room. He left it a crack open. BEEP. I started to record, but where was he ?
Oh. My. God.
Hunter came up with only shorts on, while drying his hair with a towel. Wow, he's so fit. I'd never seen someone with abs in the flesh. He wasn't too buff but he was you know, right in the middle. How many abs does he have ? One-two-thr- "Oh shit, I forgot my phone" he murmured
NO NO NO NO !! He's coming my way, where am I gonna hide ?? I swivel my head everywhere in search for salvation. THE LINEN CLOSET ! My last hope ! A creak spawns from his bedroom door. I swiftly slid into the closet, leaving it a bit open. I could only merely hear him grabs his phone and head back.
Unsure whether it was safe or not I slid out of the closet, making a huge creaking noise. CRAP ! Hunter was almost all the way through the door. WHERE TO GO, WHERE TO GO ?? The bathroom was my last resort, as I nearly flipped through the door making a HUGE slam while I locked it.
"Sharon ?" pondered Hunter, "I was gonna brush my teeth. Can you hurry up ?"
What am I gonna say ? I can't imitate Sharon's voice !! We have completely different octaves. I'm panicking while swinging my head in all different directions tryna find another solution. THE SINK !! I flip the knob open and chugged some water.
"Sharon ?" he asked
"Mmhm ?" I gargled back
"I was gonna brush my teeth, you done yet ?"
"Mm-mm (no)"
"Fine then. Let me get a piece of gum from your room"
"Mmkay"
I can hear him pacing back to Sharon's room. I gotta get outta here before I spit my heart out on to my hand. I switch everything off ninja like and shifted outside the door with Hunter's back to me.
Click Click .
Sharon's door swung open. I'M DEAD, I'M COMPLETELY DEAD ! She walked up to Hunter with a pissed looked on her face. THANK THE LORD, she was wearing one of those night masks so she couldn't see me over Hunter's shoulder.
"What the hell are you doing ?" she barked.
AroGazos' posture turned so stif, like he'd seen a ghost. "But-you-bathroom-here-gum" he stuttered. As she moved up her mask and Hunter turned around, it was too late.
Because I had already left through the front door.
