Elastic Heart:

10: Borrowed Car

Savannah:
I step out of the shower feeling nice and fresh. After drying off I head into May's room to find something to wear. I had a drawer full of my clothes for whenever I came to stay the night. I pull the drawer open and pull out a some undergarments. I change a brown height waist skirt; pulling it up a little bit above my belly button. I pair the skirt with a red, white and blue stripped long sleeve crop top. Once I finish I close the drawer and leave Mays room. I run my fingers through my hair as I run down the stairs. When I walk into the kitchen May looks at me. "You're brother just called, he's really mad." She informs me. "What did you tell him?" I ask. She shrugs her shoulders sliding the plate of toaster strudels my way. "He asked if I had heard from you. I told him I hadn't." She explains. I feel myself relax. A frown still on her face. "What?" I ask. She shakes her head the sighs. "Okay, so what exactly happened?" She asks eagerly. She takes a seat on the bar stool. I grab a glass cup from the cabinet. "Okay, so after the party on Saturday, I stayed up late waiting for Brandon to come home since I left early with Mason because he got to drunk." I start to explain. I walk to the fridge grabbing the orange juice. "Around 2ish Colton came home drunk. We sat in the living room for a moment then I went to bed. I woke up sometime later to the sound of him getting sick in the bathroom." I continue. I pour some juice into my glass. "So, I helped him back into bed. The next morning when I woke up Brandon called and said he wouldn't be back home till later. So I stayed at the house by myself while Colton slept in his room." I take a sip of my juice. I sit down on the counter setting the plate on my lap. May watches me intently. "So, me being me, I got bored and made Colton lunch. I took it to his room and we watched movies." I sigh. "I swear, May, for a few hours he was actually being nice and funny. Until I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up he was being cold and short. By that time Brandon came home with these two icky girls from school." I take a bit of my toaster strudel. "So I went to Mason's. Only that didn't last long because he became an ass and tried to pressure me into sex." I scowl. May's eyes widen. "He what?" She asks. I nod. "Yeah. But according to him we should just do it to get it over with." I say as I roll my eyes. May shakes. "He said that?" She asks shocked. "More or less. But that's besides the point. When I went back home I went straight to bed. Except someone wanted to be an douche and start having sex with one of those icky girls. So I left with his car and slept just a few blocks away from home. He called and demanded I take the car back so I shut off my phone." I continue. "And that brings us back to now. I'm sure Colton has called Brandon and ratted me out." I explain. May sits in silence for a moment. She seems to be processing everything I had told her. "So, what are you gonna do when you see him later?" She asks. I shrug my shoulders finishing off my toaster strudels. May sighs setting her plate in the sink. "What should I wear?" She asks. "Oh, we should twin." I say happily. She rolls her eyes but smiles. "Okay, I'll be back." She replies. She leaves the kitchen going up to her bedroom. I set my plate in the sink and finish off my orange juice. I grab my cellphone off the counter to check all the messages I got. I open Mason's messages first;
Babe: Are you still mad? I'm sorry.
Babe: Why is Colton calling me asking if I have seen you?
Babe: wtf is going on?
I decide not to reply to him. Honestly, I was a little upset with him. Us not having sex was never a problem before. I open Colton's messages and scan over them.
Colton: I swear if there anything wrong with my car. I'll kick you're butt, Savannah.
Colton: Okay, this isn't funny anymore, answer you're phone.
Colton: And you wonder why you're parents don't trust you alone because you do shit like this.
Colton: I'm beyond done, Savannah.
I roll my eyes at his messages. He was being a baby. So what if I took his car? He was being inconsiderate by sleeping with that girl. Not only that but he broke my parents house rules. I mean so did I but that's beyond the point. "What are you scowling at?" May asks walking into the kitchen. I look up to see she's wearing the same skirt as me and a black long sleeve shirt. I shake my head clicking my phone closed. "Can we go?" She asks. I check the time on my phone and nod. "Actually, I wanted to stop by the store, I need to get somethings." I say happily. A wary look appears on May's face. "What are you gonna do?" She asks worried. I shake my head. "Nothing that will get us in trouble. I promise." I say. She sighs in defeat but agrees. I smile happily at her. While she locks up the house I back Colton's car out of the garage. A few minutes later May runs out and climbs into the passenger seat. "Hm, it smells good in here." She says thoughtfully. I find myself nodding in agreement. I pull out of the drive way and head for the store. May messes with the radio trying to find a good station. I roll down our windows stick one hand out. The wind feels cool against my hand. May settles on a station that plays old school music. I chuckle at her. "Wait, what are we doing at the party store?" She asks. "Just stay here. I'll be back." I say. "Savannah," She calls me name. "I won't be long." I assure her closing the car door. I run inside and walk to the counter. "Hi, can I get some balloons?" I ask. The guy behind the counter nods. "Special occasion?" He asks. I shake my head no. "It doesn't matter what they say. Get me a bunch of them." I say. He nods grabbing a dozen balloons from the back. I look at the counter grabbing a few bags of confetti and a keychain that had a black bear hanging from it. I even grab a mini disco ball. He ties the balloons in a knot and hands them to me. I pay for them then run back to the car. "What are you doing, Van?" May asked worriedly. I shove the balloons in the back seat and close the door. May watched me as I open the confetti bags. I sprinkle some in the back and all around the car. May gasps at my actions then laughs. "You're insane." She announces. I shove the confetti wrappers in my bag. "He said not to scratch his car but he didn't say anything about decorating it." I explain. I hang the disco ball from the review mirror. "Okay, now, we're ready to go." I say. I back out of the parking space and head to school. May picks up some of the sprinkles throwing them at me. "He's going to kill you." She states. I shrug my shoulders. "Let him try. Besides, this is nothing, I could do worse." I reply. She shakes her head but smirks. Once we get to school I park the car and we both climb out. I spray the little black bear chain with some of my perfume then attach it to Colton's keys. I lock his car then follow May inside. "When are you going to give him his keys?" She asks. I shrug my shoulders. "Oh, I know, Starla has second hour with him. I'll just have her give it to him then." I explain. After getting a pass from the office I walk to first hour. I had my English teacher the note then head to my seat. Starla greets me with a smile. Starla had short red hair that came just below her chin. She had dark hazel eyes and small lips. She was tall and thin. We were actually good friends. So I could trust she would actually give the keys to Colton. "Hey, did you get the notes done for Psych?" She asks. I shake my head. "I'll do them next hour. Can you do me a big favor?" I ask. She nods. I pull Colton's keys out and hand them to her. "Give these to Colton. And tell him I said, Thanks." I explain. She looks confused but she nods. She lets out a little laugh when she sees the stuffed bear keychain. "Cute." She mumbles. "Isn't it?" I ask laughing in agreement.
