Meet me in the woods- young nick goode

07

Nick, Ziggy, and I were all squished into one stall of the outhouse. I heard the door open and footsteps enter into the outhouse.

"Will! This is too cute! We could have done it in your bunk, but I guess this is kind of hot." I could hear Sheila say

I heard one of the stalls open and I assumed that Sheila was reading our note. The note read 'Look up. XOXO. -The witches' Ziggy quickly pulled the rope, and we heard Sheila scream. Ziggy ran out of the bathroom stall and Nick grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the bathroom stall with him. Once we were out of the outhouse Nick dropped my hand, pulling out a screwdriver to lock Sheila in the outhouse. I followed them back into the Science and Nature room.

Nick and Ziggy were the first ones in the Science and Nature room, side by side, with all sorts of bugs, and snakes in between them. And I was about 5 feet behind them, closing the door just as I heard Ziggy speak.

"She sounded like a frog!" Ziggy laughed, mocking Sheila's scream.

"What'd I tell you"

"Fuck paint" Ziggy replied

"Fuck paint" Nick repeated, I nodded in agreement

"Come on Cecilia, that was cool"

"I guess" I looked down, Ziggy rolled her eyes

"Who are you?" She asked Nick

"Nick Goode" He held out his hand "Nice to meet you"

Ziggy shook his hand. I walked around, looking at the various things in the Science and Nature room, I hated reptiles and bugs, anything of that variety, but there was nothing better to do with the time. I saw Nick and Ziggy speaking quietly on the other side of the room, but I figured they were just bonding over how 'amazing' their prank was. Soon after Ziggy came to where I was

"I think you should talk to Nick", She spoke

I sighed but continued my walk to the other side of the room regardless

"I want to make things better between us, yesterday, I didn't really mean it. Of course, I was scared-"

"Scared of me?" I questioned bringing my eyes to meet his.

"Of course not. Scared of what other people would think" He sighed, and when I didn't answer he continued "I know, it's stupid, but I didn't want people to criticize you just because we were together, especially my mother"

"Your mother?" I teased with a small laugh

He responded with a laugh, but as he was about to speak he was interrupted by Ziggy.

"Let's play 21 questions"

Nick started by asking Ziggy a question.

"You, Cindy, and Cecilia," He glanced my way "Have you all ever gotten along?" He questioned her

"Cindy, I've hated her since I was a baby, Cecilia she's... fine" She glanced my way with a smirk, I smiled back slightly

"Look I can't get to know either of you better if you don't answer my questions" Nick came to sit next to me

"We all used to get along-" I answered for Ziggy "When things were good-" Ziggy cut me off

"When Cindy was fun"

"She still is fun" I rolled my eyes at her

"What about you?" Ziggy asked Nick

"What about me?"

"Why are you so full of shit?"

"Ziggy" I scolded

"Nick Goode, heir apparent, daddy was the police chief of Sunnyvale, king of Sunnyvale, but it's all make believe" She paused and looked at me, I warned her not to continue with this "You tell everyone you want to be the sheriff, but the truth is you like Stephen King, spiders... and my priss of a sister" She teased, she then turned to leave

I stood up to stop her

"Where are you going?!" I asked her following her to the door

"I need something from the cabin, I'll be right back" She smirked, leaving

I turned and sat back down next to Nick, it was a couple of seconds before he took my hand in his, I looked down at our hands, then back up to Nick.

"I'm sorry about what Ziggy said, it was uncalled for"

"The truth is, I'm not the real heir apparent" He sighed, glancing at me "My dad wanted me to take his job, of being the sheriff, but that's it. He was always closer with Will, like he wanted Will to be everything he was, except the sheriff. But, I don't know maybe I don't want to be the sheriff, maybe I want to be the kid that likes Stephen King, and spiders. It's like I can never get what I want-"

"What do you want?" I questioned, looking up to face him

"You" He spoke so suddenly my eyes slightly widened

"Let's go back to the easy questions" I smiled weakly

He stared at me for a couple of seconds, he placed his hand on my cheek bringing my face closer, until our lips connected. He brought his other hand to the small of my back as I brought my hand to his cheek. Our kiss was interrupted by a scream.
