Messy Buns and Fishnets

I woke up to my alarm at nine o'clock in the morning. I felt so good and well rested. Today is the day we are leaving for Lake View Park.

I was supposed to ride with Max to the lake, but obviously, I'm not doing that anymore. I also don't feel like driving myself.

Good thing Parker didn't live too far away, so I was just going to walk to his house and catch a ride with someone else. So, I got up and got ready.

I put my hair in two cute, little messy buns. I decided to wear fishnets that exposed my legs and some black shorts over them. I put on a short-sleeved graphic tee, but wore a long sleeve shirt underneath. Knee high socks and my favorite vans tied the look together. The last thing was accessories and light makeup.

Who said I couldn't rock the skater look?

I grabbed the stuff I packed for the weekend and left my house.

While I was walking, a car honked at me. When I turned my head, it was Max's car. I just rolled my eyes and kept walking.

"Spence, I'm sorry. Please, just talk to me." I just kept walking towards Parker's house, while Max slowly drove next to me.

"Spencer! Come on, just get in the car." I ignored him and kept walking.

I half expected him to do that scene in The Kissing Booth where Noah yells at Elle to get in the car.

"Your going to be sweaty by the time you get to Parker's house." I laughed.

As if I'm one of those girls who care about sweating. I play flag football for goodness sake.

"As if you care. You obviously just want me to fall in your trap, so you can have sex with me."

"How many times do I have to say sorry?"

Did he really think I was dumb enough to get back with him?

But then again, I was dumb enough to get with him in the first place.

Five minutes later, I get to Parker's house. The whole way there, Max drove by me. While he was parking his car, I had enough time to knock on the door and get in.

There were already some people there. They were packing up some cars with coolers.

"Hey, Spencer! Where's Max? I thought you guys were coming together," Parker says and at that moment Max comes in.

"Spencer, please. I said I was sorry." We were in front of people now and he was still going on and on about this. This was something private. We were done already and I wasn't going to change my mind.

"Max, fuck off already! Your really getting on my nerves." I walk off to talk to Alexander.

"What's going on with you and your little boyfriend," Alexander asks.

"Oh, I don't have a boyfriend. Where's Alexandra?"

"Wow. That sounds drastic. You don't even sound sad. I didn't see you as the type to be cold hearted, but anyways, Alexandra is picking up Sky. They should be here soon."

"I'm not cold hearted. There's just nothing to be sad about." Alexander looked like he was trying to find a lie in my face, but settled when he didn't find one.

"Is Lily coming on the trip," I asked.

"Yeah. She's over there. She's been hanging with a new group since yesterday. I guess she figured that we wouldn't want to be friends with her after what she did to Sky."

When I looked to where he pointed, I saw her talking to some football players. More like flirting desperately.

"And you call me cold hearted? Lily literally has no heart. When I met her on my first day of school she was so nice, but I guess that was just another mask that easily slipped off."

"Who was the first," Alexander asked.

"Max."

After a while, everyone was here. Everything was packed up and now we were getting into cars. I decided to ride with Sky and the twins, but that was until someone else joined us.

I was sitting in the back seat, when Max slid into the seat next to me, meaning I was squished between Alexander and Max.

"Um, no. Alex, can you move, so I can get out of this car?"

"Alexander, don't you dare get up. Spencer, I said I was sorry like 10 times already."

"Didn't I tell you to fuck off? Alex get out." Alex looked conflicted with what to do, but eventually lets me get out the car.

I started looking for another car to go in.

I definitely wasn't going in the car with Lily and her new friends and the other cars were full. I was going to let Parker have some alone time with Jamie, but I had no other choices.

When I got into the car, Parker, Jamie, and Chester were already inside.

"Oh, I thought it was only Parker and Jamie in here. When did you get here" I ask Chester.

"There's something wrong with my car and all the other cars were full."

"I thought you were riding with Sky," Jamie says.

"I was until Max decided to join," I say rolling my eyes.

"What happened? You guys were just fine yesterday," Parker asks me.

"He was being an asshole yesterday, we got into a fight, broke up, and now he won't stop bothering me."

"Are you ok," Chester asks, looking pitiful.

"I'm perfect, so enough about me. Let's hit the road!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Some time during the trip, I got bored. Jamie and Parker were talking to each other, which I wasn't going to interrupt, and Chester was on his phone, listening to music.

I started going through my bag, in-search of headphones, but I couldn't find any.

Dang it! I must've left them home in my drawer.

I didn't want to interrupt Parker and Jamie, so I tapped on Chester's shoulder.

"Do you have extra headphones," I ask him, hopeful, but he shakes his head no. I started to sulk.

"You can share them with me. Trust me, I have a good playlist." Chester pulls out one of his ear buds and holds it in front of my face. I mean, it was better than nothing. I took the ear piece and put it in my left ear.

The Weekend was playing. I guess he did have a good mix. I don't care what anyone says. I still listen to The Weekend and I like his music. After a while my eyes started to get heavy.

Chester's POV

"Do you have extra headphones," Spencer asked, her brown eyes burning into me. It sent chills down my spine.

I shook my head no. She started pouting her full lips. She looked like a cute little puppy.

"You can share them with me. Trust me, I have a good playlist." I felt dumb saying it. I didn't know what type of music she liked. She would probably hate my mix.

After a while she agreed and put the earpiece into her left ear. I watched her face turn into satisfaction as she heard the song playing. I heard her humming along with the song.

I was relieved. I didn't like to see her upset or mad.

Although her angry face looked like a cute little bunny, I realized I never wanted to be on her bad side. I could see the fire in her eyes when she expressed her anger of Max being an asshole.

I could see it in her since the first day she came to school.

After awhile, I saw her starting to fall asleep. She fell asleep on my shoulder. Her face was calm and light snores left her mouth.

I will never know why someone would want to hurt her on purpose. I would never want to hurt her, but I know sooner or later, it will happen.

And I was going to regret that day. I was going to regret the day I lose my little sparrow.
