All these feeling. Part Two.
Ok part two. Here we go, I hope you enjoy.
Ahh the summer is great. I was in a great field of grass with long flowers sprouting up in all directions. The sun was out and the day was clear. There was a light breeze and the air smelled of sunflowers. I sure do love the outdoors. The sun felt great on my fur and the breeze seemed to keep the air fresh and cool.
I was enjoying the fresh air when I noticed a figure approaching me; who else could be out here in the middle of nowhere. As the figure got closer I began to think it was Davi, yes its Davi, how did he know I was here. I tried to wave to him and say hello but he simply kept coming closer until he was finally a few centimeters from my face.
"Um hey?" I said a little nervous.
No answer. He simply looked into my eyes and slowly I found myself staring back into his. I never noticed how beautiful his eyes were. They are light green around the rim with white rays to the center. Around his pupil were spiraled shades of dark emerald green, spinning outward mixing with the lighter green until fading into the rims. His eyes seemed to glisten and I could even make out my reflection.
I found myself slowly coming closer to Davi and suddenly I felt him grasp the back of my head and pull me into an embracing kiss. My body melted, I shut my eyes and felt his silk smooth lips pressed against mine. We became one in body, love, and soul.
"Colorado Sunrise by 3oh3"
"Ugghh" I said groggily slowly regaining total consciousness.
I picked up my ipod and shut the music off, wondering about the dream I had.
"What's wrong with me. Why would I dream about that? I need to get myself together."
I slowly walked over to the bathroom, dragging my feet like a zombie. Half awake I open the bathroom door to the sight of a smashed mirror. Yesterday instantly came back in memories. I looked down at my paw. The gauze was covered in patches of blood that seeped through all the layers. Throbbing in my paw soon became apparent, each throb bringing a sharp pain.
"Ugh what the hell was I thinking?" I said very annoyed
I unwrapped the gauze and looked at the damage. There were patches of fur stuck together with blood and the cut was apparently deep. The skin was purple and bruised along the knuckles.
"Great, just great"
I looked at myself in the shattered mirror before walking over to the shower and turning it on. Steam quickly filled the room and the pieces of mirror hazed over with condensation. I stripped down and got into the shower immediately sitting down on an edge. I often sit in the shower to think, the feeling of the hot water rushing down my body was soothing and I slowly get lost in thought.
"I can't believe the dream I had. Schools gonna suck. How am I gonna explain my hand to everyone. Ugh and I am gonna have to deal with the breakup. I still don't understand why she ended it. Maybe I just didn't show my affection enough. Who cares ugh. I hate this place."
I lost track of time. Continually thinking about the day before.
"Everything was great..."
The feeling of cold water soon snapped me back into reality. I lost track of time again. I washed up quickly and got out of the shower heading over to the sink to continue to get ready and wrapped my hand in a fresh roll of gauze.
After I was all ready I checked the time. 8:10am.
"Shit school starts in 10 minutes. I always do this." I thought running outside to get my bike ready.
"Ugh its fucking freezing"
I ran back inside to throw on my jacket then drove off. I had to speed to get to school like always. I became accustom to high speeds. I could easily control the bike going 100mph. I am so glad there aren't many cops around here. I arrived at the parking lot and checked the time, 8:15am.
"New record" I thought happily.
I took my helmet off and headed into the building where I found my usual group of friends hanging in their regular spot.
My regular group included Chad, Evan, Fisk, Riley, Arno, Davi, and me.
Chad is a husky. He is a hardcore christian and did well in school. He was in a ton of out of school clubs but didn't play any sports. He was a really nice guy and treated everyone kindly. I don't believe I have ever seen him in a bad mood. He was a bit chubby but had a cute face.
Evan is mutt and a jokester. He was always making people feel uncomfortable for laughs. He was a good friend and always seemed to get a laugh out of me. Every year he played track and basketball and was slim but in good shape.
Fisk was a horse and a pothead. He was really goofy and always did crazy things to amuse us and boy did he love his weed. On the rare occasion when I just feel like a good smoke, I always bought from him. I have some good memories smoking it up with him and some other people. He was the only one in the regular group that smoked and my other friends always tried to avoid conversation about it, except Davi. Him and me would always joke with him when he was high, which was 90 percent of the time.
Riley was a German Shepard. He was just a regular kind of guy. He was kind of a quiet guy but still cool. We would always joke with him and he rarely joked back. I'm not sure why he hung around but I didn't mind his company.
"Yo Tavio, what's up" said Chad.
"Nothing much, sucks being at school" I laughed
"Yeah it always does." he laughed in agreement
"What happened to you hand man?" said Evan looking curious rather than concerned.
"Oh nothing really just cut it a little." I replied.
"How?" said Fisk joining into the conversation.
I looked over to Davi who was also listening. I had already told him that I smashed it on a window walking down the stairs. I hate to do it but I think I just have to go with that story. I hope they don't ask many questions, I don't think I can think of a situation that really explains why I hit a window.
"Oh I just hit a window when coming down the stairs." I said trying not to sound unsure.
"What, how the hell did you do that?" replied Fisk.
"Damn. What am I gonna say" I thought. But I was luckily saved be the bell.
"Beeeeep"
"Oh I will tell yah later" I said.
Everyone headed their own way. Davi and me always went to our lockers together so away we went, talking while getting our stuff together.
"Hey how did you hit that window anyway?" Davi asked.
I quickly thought up an answer that was somewhat believable.
"Oh I was coming down the stairs and tripped. On my way down I tried to grab something but slammed my hand into the window."
"Oh wow dude," he laughed. "How bad is it?"
"Um not to bad, I think." I said not totally convinced myself.
"Well can I see?"
"Um yeah sure."
I unwrapped the gauze and showed him my paw. More blood had spread across my fur from the last time I washed it in the shower. Looking at it now, I realized that it was pretty bad.
"Dude that looks terrible, do you need stitches or something?" Davi said worriedly.
"Ummm, nahh I don't think so just need to get it to stop bleeding." I said trying to keep my tough image.
"Alright well shouldn't you at least go to the nurse and get her to check it out." he insisted.
"Maybe, I don't know. It would get me out of Spanish for a little while."
"Yeah dude, here I will go with you, let's go."
"Yeah sure, let's go."
While walking down to the nurse's office we talked a little but then an awkward silence came. I felt the urge to hold his hand but I easily shut it out of my mind and forgot about it completely. He finally broke the silence as we started to approach the door to the nurse's office.
"He seemed rushed when I came to your house yesterday. You were acting kinda funny." he said.
"Yeah I was just tired, got some bad news and on top of that this happened." I chuckled raising up my hurt hand.
"Oh yeah I heard about you and Adel. You alright?"
"Yeah I didn't like her anyway. I planned on breaking up with her anyway so she just cut the cord before I could." I said half-lying.
"Yeah I didn't like her anyway." Davi said agreeing.
What he said made me notice something. He never did like any of my girl friends. He always acted funny around them and avoided any conversation about them. Weird, it's probably just because he hasn't had a girl friend since he moved here.
We opened the door to the nurse's office as the late bell rang. We stopped talking to each other and addressed the nurse.
"Hey" I said not remembering her name.
She was an old cheetah. She was always in a bitter mood and seemed to hate her job. I rarely visited her office or even saw her.
"What's wrong" she said.
"Its my hand, I hurt it yesterday, I just wanted to see if you thought it needed stitches or something." I replied.
"Hmm well unwrap it and I will take a look at it. Why are you here?" she said addressing Davi now.
"Oh I just...ummm...I don't know...." he said nervously looking at the ground.
"Ahh, you just wanted to skip a little class with your friend. Go sign in as late and get to class." She said annoyed.
"Yes mam" he said leaving quickly.
I unwrapped the gauze and she began examining the cut. Then she walked over to her drawer pulling out some fresh gauze handing it to me. I began rewrapping the cut while she talked sounding a bit annoyed.
"Here rewrap your paw with some new gauze. It looks to me like a good deep cut. I think it needs stitches but I can't say for sure. I would go over to that emergency center up the street and get it checked out. Now if you think it needs immediate attention, I will write you a pass and you can leave school now."
"No thanks. I think I will just tough through it and get it checked after school, if that's ok." I replied.
She began writing pass for me to get into class.
"Here take this and get back to class," she said.
"Yes mam." I replied already on my way out.
I went back to class and to my luck some kid was absent so I took a seat next to Davi. I joked with him about the nurse being a bitch and continued talking to him for the rest of class totally ignoring the teacher.
We talked about the usual random stuff like TV shows and his trip. Once that class ended we both headed over to our geometry class where Fisk, Davi, and me were all seated together.
Fisk entertained us through the class like usual, obviously high. He briefly asked again about my hand and I told him the same thing I told Davi. We had our usual Tuesday quiz, which I felt I got a hundred on, like always. Then the bell rang for lunch and Davi and me eagerly left to our usual lunch table.
Our lunch table was always filled with people and everyday it seemed random people would come and leave our table for short conversation. The only people that were permanent members to the table were the regular group and Skyler.
Skyler is a giraffe. He was a know it all nerd, which aggravated me regularly. People thought he was a genius but then again people are regularly stupid. I always felt I was smarter but I just didn't want the nerd image. He frequently tried to use big words to impress people but he used them out of context, which highly annoyed me. Over all though he was pretty smart and when I felt like having a purely intellectually conversation or debate, he was top of the list.
Davi and me got lunch and took our seats at the table.
"Yo dude, I heard about Adel" Evan immediately said as I sat down.
I told him the same thing I told everybody else. The whole table seemed convinced and I started to wonder if everyone thought I didn't like Adel. That reminds me, I haven't seen Adel today, is she avoiding me?
"Hey has anyone seen Adel." I said to the table
"Oh Stephanie told me she was sick or something" Chad answered.
The rest of lunch went like usual. Evan, of course, had some clever joke to tell us all. That got the ball rolling and we all starting joking around laughing to tears here and there before leaving the table to go play our daily game of hackie sack in the commons area.
The rest of the day went pretty routine. I had biology after lunch, in which I slept through because Davi wasn't seated near me. Then came english, which I also slept through because I wasn't seated near anybody I found remotely interesting.
After the bell rang I meet up with Davi half way through the halls like usual and we talked to our lockers, meeting up with the other regular people along the way. We all joked a bit more before saying our goodbyes.
Davi and me walked through the parking lot to my motorcycle talking regularly along the way. When we got to my bike Davi asked a question that caught me totally off guard.
"Hey dude you think you could give me a ride home?"
I never rode the bike with anyone else on it before but I didn't think it would be that hard. I only had my permit however and letting him ride would be illegal but there are no cops around anyway. But I only have one helmet and he isn't wearing a jacket, he will freeze.
"Umm...I don't know Davi," I said nervously
"Come on it isn't that long of a drive. I haven't ever ridden on a motorcycle before, I wanna try it out."
I looked at him think it through once more before finally coming to a decision.
"Yeah sure, here take my helmet and jacket, its kinda cold and you never know I might crash." I said throwing him my helmet and jacket.
He laughed. "If you crash, imma kill yah," he joked.
I started up the bike, feeling the engine struggle in the cold. I hopped on and gave the engine a good rev before telling Davi to hop on.
"Alright man get on and let's get out of here"
"Sure thing" he muffled out of the helmet, which looked pretty funny on him.
He got on and I slowly approached the parking lot exit, still getting used to the extra weight. Traffic getting out of the parking lot was always a pain if you didn't get out extremely fast. I stopped waiting for my turn to leave.
"Alright hold on now cause we are gonna start going a bit faster. Oh and try and lean when I do." I instructed.
I heard him muffle some sort of response before it became my turn to go. I turned onto the main road and I felt Davi's arms grip tightly around my waist and his head rested on my shoulder. The cold wind quickly bit at my face and body but I couldn't help but notice how great I felt at that moment. I loved the feel of Davi's arms around me. The cold air soon didn't bother me and I quickly decided to take the long way home, hoping he wouldn't take to much notice of it.
As I approached the back roads I felt like playing a bit of a joke on him. I ripped at the throttle pulling all the weight to the back wheel. The bike struggled a bit but did a little wheelie, which was enough to make Davi tighten his grip on me, almost to a point where it hurt. I laughed as I heard some quick muffled speech behind me. I held on the gas reaching speeds of 180mph before finally redlining. I slowed down as we approached the next turn, still laughing quite a bit. I took the rest of the ride at the speed limit because his death grip really began to hurt although I still loved the feeling of his arms. Soon enough we arrived back at my house.
I slowed to a stop and shut off the bike, waiting for him to step off before getting off myself. I looked over at him. He was quickly shoved off the helmet with a great smile on his face.
"You asshole!" he laughed "I thought I was gonna piss myself."
"I couldn't resist," I said laughing at his reaction.
"Damn dude you scared the shit out of me"
"Well that's what you get for making me freeze to death"
"Ok sure" he laughed, "Well thanks for the ride. Here's your stuff back. I gotta get home but I might be over later, that cool?"
"Yeah for sure, see yah later"
"Later"
I watched him walk half way up the street until finally heading inside. I threw my stuff in the usual spot by the door, walked into the living room, turned on the tv, relaxed, and just thought about things of all nature.
Wow they was a bit longer than I set out for. This I found I bit hard to right. I tried to make it less pathy as someone suggested but that was really hard to do. I hope I at least improved a little bit. Anyway thanks for reading =3 and any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
