Strings

The Alley Chap. 4

We were currently sitting at one of the tables in the bowling alley. I'd ordered nachos and Cara ordered everything. No literally, she ordered fucking everything. "My parents have deprived me of these foods for the past two weeks, my moms on a diet and so she says everyone's on a diet." She said while grabbing a handful of fries and shoving it in her mouth. Haha that's what she said.

"That's not attractive at all." I whispered to myself laughing. "What'd you say bitch?" She said while dipping a fry into soda. "Okay that's just nasty." I said while trying to pull the food a way from her. "My precious." She began snarl in a weird voice. Omyghod my life is a officially some strange fucked up movie. And you know what I love it.

We both started laughing as her cellphone started ringing. She answered and immediately put a finger up as to say one minute. She took the phone from her ear and whispered "Cheyenne's boyfriend just cheated on her. I'm going to go take this I'll be right back." I nodded my head in agreement as she walked away. Of course it was Cheyenne, it's been Cheyenne these whole two months. Honestly her boyfriend and her break up every 2 seconds. It's proven by statistics.

So Cool. Here I am. All alone. "Hey where'd my sister go?" I heard Cameron say as he walked over. "Cheyenne and her boyfriend." I said slowly maybe he'd understand. "Oh that chick, I swear if I hear one more thing about them.." He said while sitting down. It became silent again and I hate silence. It's like basically bringing in awkwardness. Like if J.K Rowling wrote about dementors in this story they'd be awkward. Bringing awkwardness upon people and making life unbearably awkward.

"So like, what grade are you in?" He said while looking at me. Oh.. I hate it when people look me in the eye when they ask me question. Think of something that'd sound cool. "Well, what grade is your sister in?" I said with a sure tone. Oh yeah that shit was nice. Good work talia. "No way, you're a junior? Thought maybe you were atleast a senior." He smirked while getting up and moving closer to me.

What is he doing? Oh god no. Look dude, I know you know you're hot and what not but come on. "Do you wanna play a game while we wait for Cara?" He said while pulling out his wallet. "Sure." I said hesitantly while getting up and walking with him to the counter. "Just one game, sir." We received our shoes and lane and proceeded there.

"You good at bowling?" He asked while tying his laces. "Nope, the funny thing is every time I came here; I never bowled. Like ever." I said reminiscing on all the times Nicholas and I used to come here and he'd bowl and I'd just watch him. "You're first so show me what you've got." He said while leaning back in his chair. "Oh no, no, no." I am not about to embarrass myself in front of this extremely cute guy.

"Really? Alright come on, but you should know I'm not hitting on you when I do this right now." He said while grabbing my hand and ball. "Give me your hand." He said while putting my fingers into the little slots. "Now the thing is to stay calm, otherwise you'll bowl like Cara. Nobody wants to bowl like Cara." He said with a serious tone.

"Now I'm going to stand behind you but I'm not pulling any moves." He grabbed my hands and told me to release as I watched the ball roll down the lane and knock over all the pins. "Omyghod you bowling wizard, you must be practicing some black magic." I said while turning around and hugging him. I pulled away fast realizing that I was hugging my friends brother.

He patted me on the head while grabbing a ball and continuing the game. I saw Cara walk back into the building with a guy. I waved at her and she smiled wide and gave me the one minute finger once again. Oh snap, get it Cara. "So you gonna watch my sister spit game or you gonna come play this

game with me?" He asked while picking up another ball.

"Okay, but you should know that I've recently came into some skill at this game." I joked while shrugging lightly. He laughed while waving his hand In front of himself. "Well after you my lady."

We laughed and joked for about the whole night. Throughout the night I'd tried to breakdown what kind of person he was. He had dark brown hair and the prettiest green eyes I'd ever seen, well next to Nicholas; but I'd never tell him that. I wonder what he's doing right now.. I should probably apologize for how I've been acting lately.

I mean he's just trying to find happiness like a lot of us. And then theres me always ruining it. "So, you and my brother huh?" Cara asked while Cameron went to the bathroom. "Oh no, we just talked." I said while feeling completely embarrassed. "Mhmm, just talked..I understand completely." She said while wriggling her eyebrows.

After that horrid conversation, Cameron returned and we headed home. As we pulled up to the house I got out the car. "Umm Cameron can you walk Natalia to her door?" She says while winking at me and smiling. "Sure, whatever." He said while getting out of his car and walking towards me.

"Tonight was fun babe." Cara waved out the car. "Come on it's getting late." Cameron said while walking me to the steps. "Thanks for the ride tonight." I said as we made it to the door. "My pleasure, I mean it's always been a pleasure of mine to spend my Friday night chauffeuring my sister and her friends." He said with sarcasm. I laughed and he looked up at me with those cute eyes.

"So like Monday, next week; my band is doing this crazy gig that we got and I was wondering maybe you'd--" the door opened up and Nicholas stepped out. "You're out passed curfew, Angela's worried." He said with a monotonous voice. "Okay I'll be in, in a second." I said trying to get him to go away.

Cameron was just about to ask me out. Me, Natalia. "No, who's this?" Nick asked while stepping in between us. "Cameron, who are you?" He said while stepping towards nick. "I'm--" I had to stop this before it went to far. "Okay I'll go inside." I said pushing Nicholas back inside the door. "Tonight was fun Cameron, and if you were asking what I thought you were asking then sure, just call me." I said before shutting the door in his face.

"That wasn't cool Nick." I said while storming up stairs to my room. "Yeah but so isn't giving Angie a heart attack because you broke curfew." He said while following me to my room. "Just go away, Nicholas." I said slamming my door in his face.

Great. One night, can I just have one night of fun. I definitely couldn't see myself apologizing to Nicholas for awhile.
