Love Bites, and So Do I. by Mary Barnett (pdf to ebook reader .txt) 📕

"Hello, earth to Cindy." I blinked as the thought came into my mind. "What do you want?" I thought back slightly annoyed, it wasnt my idea to come to this stupid party but Lucy said it would be awesome and Jhonny is here..."Id like to know where the hell your at?" Lucy responded back. Very tempermental. I walked to her grinning "You dont look happy?" I observed, my best friend ever is Lucy but youd never know it cause we fight like sisters. "Maybe not this second but give me oh..one minute" she replied grinning wickedly. Ughhh, that grin it made my nerves go all haywire. "and why is that?" i asked trying to hide the nervousness in my voice, but of course she caught it. "Jhonny..." she drawled out the name "just so happens to be looking for you." she said. I glanced over to where him, and Kristina his ex stood.(Well, not really stood since she was all over him.) Gawsh I hate her! She's such a Slut! "It sure doesnt look like he's looking for me." She glanced over. "Oh my god, are you kidding me? Just ignore her Cindy she is so last year when it comes to Jhonny, look hes edging away." I glanced over one last time he was edging away ever so slightly. He doesnt want to hurt her he's so sweet, and super sexy! Jhonny Lockhart has black hair with blue eyes, not like a blue-ish blue more like a sky blue, or as I like to say a knock a girl off her feet blue. He's built, but not bulky like guys who think its hot if their muscles are bigger than their head. The fire illustrated his tan skin and dark jeans, which matched perfectly with the white T-shirt that outlined his well toned body. "Oh my god, Cindy he's coming!" Lucy gasped intterupting my thoughts. "Oh gosh, what do we do?" I asked. "You stay here, and I will go admire them sexy skaters." She grinned. "That's not what I meant, Lucy!" she was gone. "Funny i've never been called that before." a voice said from behind me. I turned around, and I swear I almost fell backwards. "I was actually talking to my friend." I managed to stammer out. "Oh, you mean Lucy McGlover? She seems pretty cool." Jhonny replied. His voice is sooo dreamy, snap out of it Cindy! I told myself inwardly. "Im Cindy Lew" I said and flashed my best flirty smile. "Nice to meet you Cindy, my name is Jhonny Lockhart." we shook hands while he flashed a million dollar smile. "So, how do you like the party?" he asked. "Its getting more intresting." I said in a attempt to be flirty. "Yeah, hey, have you cheked out the pool?" he questioned me again. "Uhmm, Not yet." I said nervously, it'd be so lame if everyone found out one of my secrets. "Well, let me show you." He held out his arm, and escorted me to the pool. "Cool." I said and let his arm go. "Yeah its cool how we got the disco lights to shine all over the pool." he explained. This is his house? Woah, he must be rich. I did'nt know this was his house..."woahh!" he laughed as Tommy Jackson tossed someone into the pool. "hey, what the heck?" i started as some one grabbed me around the waist. Suddenly water engolfed me,i tryed to kick back up but couldnt. "Jhonny! Help!" i exclaimed as I started sinking down, im going to drown and all because im an eighteen year old girl who cant swim. Someone grabbed me around my waist again and heaved up ward I clutched onto their neck with a death grip. When i was layed onto concrete I immideatley started coughing and sputtering. When I opened my eyes I could see Jhonny he was dripping wet, he must have jumped in after me. "You Okay Cindy?" two people asked. "Yeah im fine." I told Tom and Jhonny. "Dude, what the fuck is your problem?" Jhonny asked Tom. "Hey, Kristina told me she liked getting thrown in the pool." Tom said definsive. Oh my gosh she would! Jhonny glanced at Kristina, ughh she has such a fake ass smirk."What the hell? Are you okay Cindy?" Lucy had appeared at my side and now look very worried. "Yeah, I just fell in the pool." I responded. "Sure, more like pushed, your such an ass Tommy." Lucy glared at Tommy. "Hey! It's not my fault! Kristina said she liked getting tossed in." Lucy turned to look at Kristina. "Your such a preppy little skank, and im tired of your shit!" Lucy took off headed straight for Kristina, I jumped up and got to her just before she pounced. "Come on Luce, she ain't worth it." We headed back torward my house, leaving the party way behind. A white van pulled up beside us just as we were far from view of the party lights. "You lady's need a ride?" said a mysterious voice. "Umm, Yeah. Come on Cindy." Lucy got into the back seat as I followed. "Where ya headed?" the voice asked. "Just up there the white house." I replied. Why does this feel like deja vu? "okay." The mystery guy said, well, at least i thought it was a guy. We drove right by my house. "hey that was it back there." I leaned forward. "I know, but were going somewhere else. Somewhere special." I heard him say, and then everything went black.
