| HUDSON |

    "You know, you look lost by yourself" I chuckle, bumping my hip into Austins.

"I'm not lost, if anything you should be. You're the newbie" He winks

"Newbie is such an awful term Mahone, it hurts my feelings" I place a hand over my heart "I think I might cry" 

"Oh no. Don't do that. Please, I'm sorry" He says in a monotone voice.

"You're such a shit" I shove his chest "Where is Tiffany anyways?"

"She's sick" He shrugs "I offered to go and take care of her, but she doesn't want me over there" He rolls his eyes.

"Why is she not wearing any make-up?" 

"That's actually probably the reason" He chuckles.

"Well, to help cure your boredom, I'm taking you somewhere" I grab his wrist, dragging him away from his locker.

"Hudson, what are you doing?" 

"Shh" I shush him, continuing to pull him to my car "Get in" 

"Hudson, I don't know"

"Chill out, I'm not going to murder you" I roll my eyes playfully, and he sighs getting into the car. I drive out of the schools parking lot.

"Where are we going?" He asks, but before I can tell him how he'll never know, my phone rings.

"Hola Padre" I chirp, answering the phone through my car radio.

"Hi Daughter" He says into the phone "I was wondering when you're going to be home?" 

"I have no clue" I chuckle "I'm taking an uptight pickle out for a day full of fun" I wink over at Austin, and he mocks hurt.

"Pickle? Ouch" He mouths, and I roll my eyes.

"What did I tell you about doing drugs?" My dad laughs.

"Me? Drugs? Father that is absurd" I fake a gasp "No but seriously, I'm hanging out with a friend so I'll call you on my way home" 

"Alright, I'll see you later" He says, hanging up the phone.

"He's seems nice" Austin says "I would've thought he was awful considering your need to rebel" he chuckles, poking the tattoos on my arm.

"He's the cool one, my mom is a shit" I roll my eyes.

"Fair enough" He shrugs "Now will you tell me where we're going?"

"No" I shake my head "All you need to know is you're going to have fun" I wink, turning down a back road. I follow all the way down, until I reach the lake.

"What?" He asks.

"I found this place the day I moved here" I shrug "Now are you coming?" I ask, I step out of my car, and kick off my flip flops. I pull off my hoodie and my pants, leaving me in my bra and underwear.

"Hudson-"

"Oh come on Austin, live a little" I chuckle, walking over to him "You'll regret every choice you've ever made if you don't live through your high school career" I tug at the hem of his shirt "Now show me what your girls missing" I wink, pulling off his shirt. I wolf whistle at his toned chest, and he blushes.

"I'm going to leave you to take the rest off" I wink "You can meet me down there" I point to the dock. I run over to it, finding a swing. I sit on it, hoping that I don't get splinters in my butt. I watch Austin as he walks down to the dock, my only thought is how Tiffany can't see what's she's missing.
