Red

Fifteen: Let's go bowling!

It's been a little over a month and so far Sawyer hasn't approached them in any way. That little stunt he did was just a simple warning to aware them that he's planning something bigger, scarier, wickeder. Which is why for the past month they have been extremely cautious about Red. Taking extra care of her but she didn't seem to notice the extra affection she was receiving from her friends. After the little incident, Red returned normal in a couple of days, she managed to hide wound on her leg from her parents and she told them that she was running at school and tripped and fell on a rock that made a huge gash on her arm and she had to get stitches at school. She was even feeling a lot safe now with her friends constantly around her. However, Damon and Johnathon still despise each other, they can't even sit together on the same table without bickering about something. Their friends found it very funny and they called them an old couple which would piss them both off but everyone else would laugh. Everything seemed to be going fine with them all. And they hoped it'll last.

"LETS GO BOWLING!" Red suggested as they all sat at the lunch table eating their food silently. No one even brought up the idea of going out but Red was Red, always random.

Gina and Holly started laughing "I swear to God, Red. You and your moments"

"It's a good idea, we haven't been bowling in a while" Norman said, taking a bite of his cheese sandwich.

Luke nodded "Yeah, why not?"

Leo shrugged "I don't mind"

The only two left to talk where Damon and Jonathon and they were both glaring down at their food, eating it furiously.

"Do you guys want to go?" Red asked the two angry boys.

"No" They both said simultaneously making the whole group laugh except for these two who were now scowling at each other.

"Come on, John! You used to love going bowling" Holly said "It's a good idea!"

Johnathon shrugged angrily and Leo rolled his eyes.

"Please!" Red begged giving them the puppy dog eyes when they sighed at the same time "Fine" They all burst out laughing. These two were so much alike it wasn't even funny.

"SHUT UP" They also said at the same time and everyone was now crying from laughing so hard.

School finished almost immediately and everyone decided to go back home and meet up at the bowling center around 7. Since it was Wednesday, it was Damons turn to drop Red home. They all made a deal to never leave Red alone so everyone picked a specific day where they would pick up Red and drop her back home wherever and whenever she wanted. Damon, for instance, chose Wednesday and Sunday. In these two days he will dedicate it all to Red. Jonthanon picked Friday and Monday, first day of the week and the last. Leo picked Tuesdays, Holly Thursday and Gina Saturday. Everyone was comfortable with their schedule and they didn't mind picking Red up at all.

Damon walked to his car quietly and Red followed suit. He was oddly quiet and it made Red worry a little. He usually talked a little to her but she decided to give it time, she thought he might talk to her in the car but he didn't utter one word. Red didn't say anything either and the silence was killing her. She was fiddling with her thumbs, moving around the seat uncomfortably and chewing her bottom lip.

"Stop" Damon suddenly said startling Red making her jump a little out of her seat "Stop what?" She asked innocently wondering if she had done something wrong to irritate him and make him not talk to her but she couldn't think of one reason to why he was playing the silent game.

"Stop moving, relax. You look anxious" He said taking a left.

"Are you mad at me?" Red asked quietly and Damon sighed staring at her gently "I'm not, I'm just thinking too much"
