Scared

“You’ll pay for that!â€? Zeke got up, dumping my water on me.

“Ah! What a waste of good water!â€? I yelled, laughing like a flirt, someone totally unlike me. But I liked the feeling in my stomach. Butterflies probably.

“You started it!â€? He laughed back, wiping off his face.

“Well then, to make it up to you,â€? I fluttered my eyelashes, OH MY GOD , “I’ll get more.â€? I headed off to find the spring in my mind. But Zeke’s musical laughter was filling my head so I didn’t focus on where I was going.

I went around a bad tree and there was the guy from the other night. His back was to me so I figured I could just get away quick. I started to back up facing him and then I ran into someone. I knew it was Wes by how muscular his chest was, oh and his hands, which covered my face quickly. “Wes.â€? I panicked. But he didn’t give me a chance to say anything else. He covered my mouth and turned me to face him.

“Hi there, so um this is nice. I need your help with something.â€? he said but it was his voice that made me scared.
