Enemies with Benefits by KiKi XoXo (ebook reader web .txt) 📕

couple little things here and there trying to figure it out, but I come up empty handed. Megera wasn't know for her dancing, she was known for her attitude. Dancing with attitude. Hmmmm....

 

****

 

"Knock knock." I hear Mr. Parker, I stop in the middle of a practice run. "Sorry... I just thought you should eat.." He holds up a to go bag from the diner. 

 

"How'd you know I was here?"  I ask, turning down the volume. 

 

"Well, your car has been in the parking lot for the past couple hours..." He smiles, and I nod makes since. "What are you doing here anyways?" he hands over the bag.

 

"I have to create a dance for the musical..." I sigh, smelling mini tacos. "Thanks to you and Jason by the way." I add. "Mrs. Oliveer over heard you guys talking about my skills, and now she wants me to create a number for my solo. 

 

"Oh, sorry... Jason was talking about you teaching him something.. this morning." He sighs sitting down next to me.  "So do you have anything figured out yet?" He asks sounding truly interested. I set down the taco, restarting the song. I show him the first little bit I have done, and he applauds. "It's amazing that you came up with that by yourself." He says. "Do you miss dancing?" 

 

"I love dancing for fun... but when it's homework like this... I don't know." I sit back down, and dig into my food. There is a bunch of comotion in the other room, it's a bunch of guys coming in. Mr. Parker peeks out. 

 

"It's Wyatt and the gang." He sighs, does that include Jake? I stand up, not wanting to be here any longer. 

 

"You know who it is?" I hear their conversation while gathering my things. 

 

"No, but I've got some ideas." Wyatt answers. "He trying to work his way with this one though, must be a special occasion." 

 

"You think he hooked a virgin?" Another guy asks in a laughing tone, and my world starts cracking. 

 

"Must be something around those lines." Wyatt laughs back, and they all mumble about how he is lucky.

 

"Jake always gets the good ones." the first guy speaks again. I glance at Mr. Parker, he is shaking his head in disapontment. I don't think he is thinking it's me they're talking about. I also don't want to be here and listen to this any longer, so I want to hurry out of here.

 

"I'm gonna go..." I say, and we both leave the room. 

 

"Paige." Wyatt says, greeting me like he usually does. With him and Carmen being together, he tends to see me more often, and thats all we ever say to each other. 

 

"Wyatt..." I reply not much enthusiasism. Some of the other guys whistle, and I just role my eyes. I peek back at Mr. Parker, who is right behind me still shaking his head. Once we're out of the gym, we say our goodbye and part ways. I go to my dorm and get ready for night. Even though it's only seven, I just decide to stay in tonight. Going down to the kitchen, I make some ramen noodles. While it's heating up I take care of Fiddle's food and water, and give him a treat because I've been neglecting him a little lately. The dorm door swings open slamming into the wall with a loud thud, it makes me jump spilling some of my noodles. Who in the hell would come racing into here like that? I clean up the mess my noodles made, mumbling about how I should've just went to the diner. 

 

"There you are! Jeez I ran all the way up to your room, when you've beed down here the whole time!" Carmen says walking into the kitchen. "Oh, good you're already dressed and everything!" She cheers, as I stand up tossing the napkins into the garbage. I look at my clothes, totally confused.  I'm in a pair of Robbie's basketball shorts, and on of my old dance shirts. In other words... pajamas. 

 

"Dressed?" I ask, digging in the fridge for somethig that wont take long to make. She grabs my arm and pulls me from the kitchen, blabbering about how her dorm is throwing a Pj party, and I how I should've remembered. I only catch here and there things, like it's only girls and fruity drinks.  "Alright... I'm here..." I say as she shoves me into the kitchen offering me a tray of drinks. I grab what looks like a strawberry daquiri, and she sets the tray back down. 

 

"How'd you get the drinks?" I ask, knowing that most of the time it's Jake and his friends who supply alcohol. So I wonder what she promised them. 

 

"I've got my ways... with out boys!" She wiggles her eyebrows at me, shaking my head at her I let out a small laugh. Well, I'm here, and I have a drink in my hand. What the hell? Taking a sip, I go off chating with others and playing just dance. Yes, when there isn't boys we actually play board games and dance. No pillow fights in our underwear I'm afraid though. After a what only seems like five minutes, but has really been four hours, the party dwindles down to I think five or six of us. We're sitting in the living room together gossiping, all of us half drunk. 

 

"Oh my gawd!" One girl squeels, "Have you guys saw Jake's older brother?" she says, with a slight slur to her voice and an emphasis on her S's.

 

"MMM he is mighty fine! He is the new baseball coach I heard." Another says, my mind laughs giddy about how I've kissed him before. I'm a little tipsy obviously, because I normally wouldn't be happy about kissing him espicially under the circumstances with Jake! "I heard he came for a girl!" the same girl says quietly drawing us all in. "Yeah... no one knows who it is though."

 

"Just like know one knows what Jake's been doing.. or who." Carmen sighs. All the girls nod in agreement. I take a sip from my drink, I almost blurt out that Jake has been with me the past two nights but I've still got some of my inhibitions.  

 

"I heard some of the guys talking about how he has some college girl.. aparently he slept with everyone here." another says. 

 

"Not me..." Carmen sighs, "But I've got Wyatt." Then they all leap into how things are going between them, I role my eyes already knowig all of the information. I get up, grabbing another drink. It's green, and it has a kiwi in it. I have no idea what it is though. Taking a sip I decide it's good enough, and I walk around the dorm not wanting to go back to the gossip circle yet. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I have a missed call. Calling back the number, it rings for what seems like hours. I have my drink half empty by the time they pick up the phone.

 

"Hello?" I say, picking out a kiwi and nibbling at it. "I seen I missed a call from you...." I pull my phoe away trying to see who it is, it's just a number. No name, so no contact. Oh? "Who is this?" I ask leaning against the counter getting a little light headed.  I hear the vioce on the other line, but it's not making much since to me. I'm pretty sure it's a guy too.  "Okay... umm yeah... I'm gonna have to let you go." I say, why is this person talking gibberish? Or am I just that drunk?! I hang up the phone, and leave the kitchen. I need to get home. I don't even bothr with finding Carmen, I just head straight for the door. I chug the rest of my drink wishing I knew what is was, then I walk out the night air smacking me in the face. I'm happy it's only a two minute walk down the street a little to my dorm! 

 

I hold my arms out like I'm walking on a tightrope, but I don't know if I'm doing it because I want to or to keep me balanced. I hum songs mixing up beats, and confusing myself more. I focus on the ground making sure to not step on a crack, I don't want to break my moms back that would be bad!  I shake the thought unsure if it's true, and with that I realize I've had way to much to drink. Those drinks were stronger then I thought! I spin around looking behind me, and then I look ahead again. Regretting the fast turning movements. I lean against a tree trying to regain my vision. 

 

"Miss are you okay?" a guy asks, I see running shoes appear by me. I laugh for some reason, who runs in the middle of the night. "Paige!" He gasps, "God you're drunk!" 

 

"No!" I stand up a little to fast from the tree, I loose balance and he catches me. "Maybe a smidgon." I smile with a blush. 

 

"Okay.. well I think we should get you home." He says, holding me up right a moment longer. "Can you walk?" he asks, and I march ou of his grip. "Stubborn even when you're drunk.." I surprisingly hear him mumble behind me, or maybe I imagined it. I take the first step to go up the three stairs into the dorm, and my head ache begins. My stomach gurgles, and I know it's coming a moment to late. I lean of the railing, and throw up.  "Oh seriously?" He comes and stands next to me, pulling my hair back and holding it away from me while I puke. After a couple more, I stand up feeling like I'm done. 

 

"I'm okay now.." I say, wipping my face. God that was gross. No more drinks with kiwi!

 

"I'm gonna make sure you get to your room." he says, and I nod. We walk silently now, I have a hard time still walking in a straight line, and getting up the stairs so he keeps an arm around my waist helping me. 

 

"You're such a gentleman." I laugh, it's not even funny though. 

 

"Oh I know." He says, and it just makes me laugh more. Now he chuckles, and it sets me off into a horrible laughing fit. "You need some sleep!" 

 

"I heard something about you tonight!" I say, holding my hand up and pointing. Light bulb! I giggle before I continue. " I heard you came here because you're got a crush on some girl... naughty  naughty you're to old!"  I scold him, then we reach my room. "Sooo is it true?" I knudge him wondering. 

 

"I'm afraid not.. now I really think you should get to bed." He says, opening the door. 

 

"Jason how'd you know where my dorm is?" I ask, and he roles his eyes. 

 

"Sleep Paige.." He says leading me to my bed. He looks around my room for a while and then goes into my bathroom. He comes back out with some pills and water. "Take this." I don't argue, then he pushes down my shoulders and pulls my blanket over me. 

 

"Gonna tell me a story too?" I ask, and he smiles at my joke. 

 

"Goodnight, Paige."  he says, and I just nod already half asleep. What a fun night.
