Up and Down

new boy

"So, have you talked to Kate since you know, the incident at school?"

"Yeah but it wasn't very pleasant and I'll just say she hasn't quite forgiven me yet"

"What happened?"

"You could she had a really long bitch rant"

"Oh, sorry"

"Yeah it wasn't pretty"

"I can imagine" It's only 10:30 and Charlies eaten all the nutella  and most of the popcorn,

"What movie now?"

"Bad moms?"

"Sounds good".

Morning

"Ivy come look at This theres someone moving in across the road"

I get up from my seat at the table and walk over to where Charlie stands staring out the window, I see a cute guy get of the car and look around,

"We should go welcome him" Charlie says

"How?"

"Just go over and say hi?"

"Ok that'll do".

We walk over and the guy looks at us and smiles,

"Hi" Charlie says awkwardly, I decide I wanna make a good impression before he finds out about me,

"I'm Ivy and this Charlie" I hold my hand out and he shakes it

"Hunter, you two a couple?"

"Oh no, he's my best friend"

"Nice"

"Where are you from?"

"Frostford, you ever been there?" I glance awkardly at Charlie

"You could say that..." I think of the car park dad took me to,

"Okay, what happened to your shoulder?" I look at my shoulder and see part of my bandage sticking out,

"Umm, I fell off-"

"Ivy, just tell him the truth he's gonna find out anyway" Hunter at me then Charlie confused,

"What am I missing here?"

"Ivy was shot in the shoulder"

"By my evil dad, who also killed my mum and grandma" both Charlie and Hunter look at me in shock,

"Wow"

"Yeah"

"Hey Ivy!" I hear someone shout from behind me, I turn around and see Ryder running towards me,

"Yeah?"

"So this ones your boy?" Hunter asks me

"Nah my other best friends boy"

"So wheres your boy?"

"Don't have one"

"And let me guess your a virgin to?"

"Yep"

"Hey Ivy, I just needed to check if you wanna study with me?"

"On what?"

"On our history homework"

"What history homework?"

"Oh Charlie didn't tell you, we have really important history homework and it's due back tomorow"

"Shit, Charlie!"

"Sorry I forgot, you better go get your textbook"

"But it's in my locker"

"I'll go with you" Hunter says

"Ok, this is Ryder by the way"

"Nice to meet you Ryder"

"Nice to meet you?"

"Hunter"

"Nice to meet you Hunter, thanks for going with Ivy"

"I'm just gonna go get dressed"

"I thought that was Charlie's house though" Ryder says

"It is but I have clothes there"

"Okay thats weird"

"I stay there a lot"

"I figured" I run off into Charlies house and get changed into aqua jeans a black tight tee and a leather jacket that I zip up, I then slip into some sandels.

5 mins later

"So Charlies pretty cute, huh?" Asks Hunter

"Oh, I've never thought about, but yeah I guess"

"He have a girlfriend?"

"No, theres no one he's really interested in from what I know, but I'm his best friend he would have told me"

"Okay"

"Is there anyone you like?"

"Wait we just met how can I trust you"

"Well you can't can you?"

"Well, you haven't met him yet, but his name is Chase, but, he's way out of my league, like you could say we're friends and sure he kissed me, but, he's a player, so I doubt he's interested in me the same way I'm interested in him"

"Well your a good girl, I'm sure there'll be someone for yah"

"Thanks Hunter" when I find my locker theres another note

Ivy, beautiful girl, I challenge you to a scavenger hunt, I'll leave a hint on a note and you have to figure out where the next hint will be and eventually you'll find me,

~your secret admirer

I rip off the envelope at the bottom of the paper and look in it and it has a bunch of pieces of cut up paper,

"What does it say?"

"Its an another note from my "Secret admirer" asking me to go on a scavenger hunt to find him"

"Well whats the first hint I'll help you"

"I'm not doing it"

"Ooh, come on, it'll be fun and don't you wanna know who it is?"

"Well I do but what if this persons a murderer?"

"I'm here to protect you"

"Fine, the first clue I'm guessing is a puzzle" We sit down on the floor and I pour out the pieces of paper on the floor and we put the pieces together

"Its a park bench" Hunter states

"Well nah shit, but I know which bench it is, come on"?
