+STORY TIME+

Instructions

hey all it’s Skylar So do I have a story! I’m a year 8, this may seem weird to start with but give it time and it’ll make sense, and I go on this camping trip with my cousins and family friends every year. We got bored an decided to take our floaters and go down the river and start talking about this terrible lemonade stand, we are talking lemonade roulette, making it ten bucks and terrible, playing the duck song on repeat. We actually do this on New Year’s Eve with good lemonade. We only made about 50 bucks but it was better than our over idea ( coloured and wet rocks, which we did and kept harassing people in our floatie sweat shop, some people brought it ?) so we do the lemonade stand and this kid comes up and spends ten bucks , for the sake of privacy let’s call him chopped, because he was chopped. Anyway since it’s new years we are parting, playing and searching for glow sticks because we forgot to buy any and chopped comes along while we are hanging at the park. We joke about him liking my younger sister who’s two years younger than me, oh boy, were we wrong. I would walk away and he’d walk with me and watch me. Strangers but he seemed lonely and I think he just wanted friends. We head back to camp 1 hour and a half hours before new years and he drops the BOMB. “So I like you..” “ oh umm” I tell my cousins and family friends what he just told me, one of them already knew but was still freaked out an we head back to the park and I’m confused. THIS KID HOPS ON HIS BIKE AND FOLLOWS US. We hop the fence and he leave his bike and follows us. My cousins are overprotective so they usher me up to the top of the playground equipment and start guarding me. There are 3 families each have 2 kids with them. So one guards my side two guard the ground and two are talking to chopped and I’m frantically texting evie or @Lacy_O_Lacy who isn’t responding >:( ( I forgive you :) they keep asking me about my type which is anybody but chopped,a bit harsh but he isn’t good looking and he said i look like SPONGEBOB but and I quote “ it doesn’t matter because I look for personality “ he somehow makes it on to the play ground thing that I’m on and everyone rushes to the side because this dude is still trying to talk to me. The two guys at the bottom, my older cousin and little sister who were basically ready to fight help me down and get me up somewhere else. I’m asked more question about my type and all the guys leave o talk to chopped and I jump th fence and run and o hear “ where is Skylar, she ran away” we play hide and seek all the time, I know how to avoid 5 people. I duck in between some caravans and watch them walk past me and I run back to my nans cabin and hide again. I go out at like 30 minutes to midnight and this dude keeps coming to get me and thank you to my overprotective family and friends thy come between us every time. Then new years hits and this delusion ah dude says, “ have your thought about being bf gf it been a year” heh heh, and than everyone leaves like come back and I hide in the pile of floaties and he FINDS ME. We talk, he’s a nice dude and we could have been good friends if he hadn’t called me SpongeBob, gotten way to close to my puppy and basically kissed him, and I’m forgetting liked me, and apparently loved me too?! He asked what I would probably look or and I said, idk I’ve only like a few people and they were all nerds ( theatre nerds, liked geeky things like me) and he said “ I’m a nerd I’m really smart I’m in the top of my class “ no, we talk, share a blanket ( because I’m cold) hold hands ( because I’m awkward and don’t know how to say no ) and every time he asks something he cringed and I’m trying to play it of like this has happened to me before. He randomly says I love you and I’m so overwhelmed and I have so much adrenaline I just smile.. he leaves tommorrow and I sleep in all the time, surely he would’ve left but I wake up EARLY. My body had just betrayed me. This kid rides over and I’m eating hot cross buns, juice box in hand, scrolling aimlessly and hardly awake. This kid rides over nd say “last night was really fun” I don’t respond. I decided I don’t like him, I’m just not attracted to him. Maybe I could let him down slowly. He plays it’s my dog some more and I go inside and tell my parents with my eyes because he is still FOLLOWING ME :/ my mum doesn’t like him after finding out he called me SpongeBob and broke into my nans cabin when I went to say happy new year. He was acting really weird and qUiRkY. Finally after an hour of hell my cousins show up and my sister is outside listening in. It was about to get worse. He asks to speak to me privately. I’m so skeptical so one of my cousins, the younger says tell me, whatever you need to tell her you can tell me, he goes and whispers it in his ear and he says no uh-uh. He tells me and he says how do I tell Skylar I wanna kiss her. I. DONT. LIKE. YOU. And he says I’m gonna act like that didn’t happen. I’m uncomfortable. Then he asks…
