The best place to stargaze

Summary- she’s a rebel with no cause except to sneak out, meet her bad news boyfriend, and annoy her family. He’s…different, he’d rather watch life pass him by than take part in it. Kismet at its finest

Staring at the drainpipe, 17 year old Adelaide tugged at her skirt nervously

Yeah, she’d escaped capitalist hell this way before, but never in a mini skirt, and never with her five year old brother in the same room. She hooked her leg over the sill and took a deep breath to calm herself. She pulled her self over the ledge and felt for the drainpipe with her foot, finding it, she proceeded to…scratch that, attempted too shimmy down the pipe. It was going quite smoothly, until the end. That’s when she jumped down and landed on a cat

Yeah, a cat

Letting out an inhuman scream of terror the cat hightailed it out of there, but not before scratching Adelaide on her leg.

“Stupid cat” she muttered

She almost laughed out loud as she walked across the lawn, her parents were so stupid! What morons, allowing her privacy, as if they trusted her. God, they fooled no one.

Happy in thoughts of annoying her parents, she didn’t realize there was something on the lawn until she tripped over it.

Her first thought was that it was a dead body, but the eyes were open, and the chest was rising. Her second thought was a thief. Whatever it was, whoever it was, they can’t’ve been good. She opened her mouth to scream…only to have a hand clamp down hard on her mouth. She thought about biting the hand, but before she could, it was removed.

“You don’t want to wake your parents do you?” a voice whispered

“Well if you’re a serial killer, than yes, I do” she whispered back nervously

She saw him smile in the darkness, she knew it was a guy by the voice, but she couldn’t tell what he looked like.

“What are you doing on my lawn?” she growled fiercely

“Stargazing” he smiled and lay back down, arms behind his head.

“Stargazing? I don’t see a telescope or even an astrology book” she looked at him in disbelief

“Its astronomy, and you don’t need any of that, you just need you’re eyes” his eyes turned heavenward

“Well it’s weird and creepy, so get off my lawn”

She could see him better now. His hair was black and ruffled, with bits of grass scattered about. It was chin length and had a set of side bangs swept of to the side. She couldn’t see the colour of his eyes, but he had strong cheekbones. He was dressed all in black except for a bright blue shirt with the words the pink spiders blazing across it

Maybe he was gay

He gazed at her steadily, unperturbed “This is the best place to stargaze, no unnatural light, and no disturbances. Anyways, I don’t see how you’ll make me; you don’t want to go and wake up your parents, do you? How will you explain being outside at night”

She growled, he had gotten her, angrily she stalked away.

“By the way,” he called after her, “your boyfriends a moron”


bonjour, another story, mon cherries, I swear I have the attention span of a goldfish

I actually want to finish this one, so we’ll see

Uhm, a few things, I’m sorry if in the story I suddenly revert briefly in to first person, it’s a horrible habit.

And for the record, pink spiders is a band, that I highly recommend

So…enjoy
