3:27 p.m
Pulling into the golf parking lot , Ember and I both got out the car simultaneously closing the car doors.
Walking towards the modern built building , we were greeted with an all too familiar face .
" Good evening " the young woman behind the desk who looked to be in her early twenties greeted us.
" Hi Amy " I gave a small smile.
Handing us both two white cards , we were already making our way to around the court.
This was the second time I had brought Ember and I'd like to think she actually enjoyed the sport but I knew other wise .
Walking over towards the shed we each both grabbed a golf club followed by a ball.
" Over there looks like a good spot " she said pointing towards a tall tree with shade .
Eyeing her up and down , I continued my walk towards my usual course .
" C'mon , just one picture before you start pleaseee " she said blocking my path.
Hesitatingly I grabbed her phone , I would rather get it over with now than have her nag me while I was playing.
" Let's go " she said dragging me over towards the tree.
3:45
" I'm done " I said handing her , her phone.
" But we've only took three ".
" Three? , You only like three , I took atleast 50! "
" It's not my fault your bad at this Roryyy " she faked cried.
" I'm done "
" You know when you get a girlfriend she's gonna ask you to things like these , what will you do? " she muttered trailing behind me .
Thinking it over , I've never liked anyone growing up , I used to watch shows and wonder what was so exciting about being obsessed with someone but as I grew older I envied seeing couples , not because of the intimacy but because it was like having a forever friend and despite going to an all boy's school I've had multiple girls approach me but it never once ended well , so I came to the conclusion that It was all in my head and that I didn't need a girlfriend , or friend to live happily.
" Don't need one , besides if she's anything like you I'd throw her off the nearest cliff "
" You mean you can't get one " she snorted behind me.
" Whatever makes you sleep at night Ember "
We continued to the course and played a few rounds together but she bailed mid round saying she was tired and just videoed me the rest of the evening .
5:09 p.m
" I'm never carrying you here again " I said exiting the building .
" Alright , we can go somewhere else next time then " she smiled beside me to which I simply rolled my eyes.
" Wait ! " she stopped dead in her tracks
" Did you forget something? "
" Hold my phone " she said pushing the phone in my hands .
I watched as she ran over to the glowing sign hanging onto the building before fawning a pose which made her neck look as if it were doing a full 360 .
" Quick take a picture before I forget this pose , not even Victoria secret models could keep up with me "
" The only way you would be hired by a modeling agency was if the photo-shoot theme was zoo " I said placing her phone on the ground before walking over to my car .
" Tcht " she said picking her up and dusting it off.
I wont lie , I am a little pleased Ember forced me to leave the house , nothing could beat the blowing afternoon breeze against your face and the strangely calming bustling of cars driving-
" Rory "
Pretending I didn't hear her I continued my thoughts
The calming bustles of the cars and the way-
"Rory!"
Exhaling I answered " what? "
" I have an idea , how about we sneak out later? "
I didn't even have to turn to know she was staring at me with hopeful eyes.
"No"
" When was the last time we did it? " she continued " I know I'm asking a lot today but I have exams next week so I don't when I'll be able to visit again after this , besides we both know you wouldn't get in trouble even if you were caught "
"Maybe because I know how to use my freedom responsibly " I said rolling my eyes." What do we need to sneak out for in the first place?"
"A part-"
"Yeah no , I'm not going"
"You didn't even let me finish "
Taking my eyes off the road for a brief second I eyed her waiting for her to go on.
" It's a college party "
How was that even better??
Openeing my mouth to protest she cut me off
" Before you say anything it's different , you actually enjoy college parties and it's not filled with a bunch of wasted teenagers " she trailed off.
"Stop lying"
Sighing she started up again , "Fine maybe it is filled with a bunch of wasted teenagers but they're fun wasted teenagers , please Rory we wont get this opportunity again and I promise it'll be fun " leaning back into the chair she continued " your seventeen your supposed to want to try these things out "
" And your nineteen your supposed to be convincing me to not do these stuff "
I knew she was right I was seventeen and the crazies thing I've ever done was steal the 3d glasses when Mrs Lucy carried me to watch a movie when I was eight .
-"and I'll clean your bedroom before I go home- "
"Fine"
I'm starting to think maybe I wasn't as good as saying no to her as I thought .
