Chapter Nine

Hailey: I don't see you at the festival. Where are you?

Dare_Devil1: i'm here

I look around at the table we choose to sit at for dinner. Or whatever you'd classify a corndog and fair fries to be. Although it doesn't do much help, a lot of people seem to be on their phones. Basically, it's going to be a little harder to find out who DD1 is.

Dare_Devil1: come on now. i spent all that time with the suspense and everything, you really think i'd make it /that/ easy.

Hailey: *rolls eyes* Ig you're right. Can you at least give me a general area where you are?

Dare_Devil1: mmmmmm, i'll give you one. i'm near you. that's it. no more hints

I can practically see the smirk on his face, if I knew what he looked like. I imagine tall, maybe like 5' 11". With brown fluffy, soft hair and eyes that could melt any girl that looked at him.

His skin would be tan from working out all day in the sun, and he'd be slightly toned, but not too much. His arms would wrap around me whenever I would need cuddles because my favorite character in the book I'm currently reading died.

Thanks a lot you evil writers. You know, you should really stop killing off the cinnamon rolls. I mean come on, what did they do to you?

Dare_Devil1: well, are you looking for me or not?
Hailey: Yea yea yea. I'm looking

I look around again and don't see anything. Until, a guy waves his arms at me and signals for me to come over. I feel my lips start to form a smile as I walk over there. He's not exactly what I imagined. He's almost better. He's tall and handsome and has soft looking hair with eyes and a smile to die for.

"Hailey?" He asks as I arrive.

"Possibly," I say, my facial expression gives me away. "And you are?"

"Jake."

"Jake," I repeat while extending my hand to shake his.

He accepts with a smile on his face. "I see those wheels during in your head. And yes, I am." Well I'm glad he came out and said it. I'm not sure I would know how to ask that question. "And also, I figured you've waited long enough to see who I am so. Here we are." He shrugs.

"Here we are." Why am I repeating everything he's saying?

"Do you want to go sit down somewhere and talk?" I nod my head. Why am I all of a sudden very self conscious about myself? I look around to see Bri give me an enthusiastic thumbs up, but Chris is nowhere in sight.

Jake asks me questions, confirming or denying what he thought of me. Stuff like if I was an only child, did I really jump out a 2 story window yelling "daddy" at 2am in freshman year. Not my proudest moment but it made one hell of a memory.

I only answer with a yes or no, but otherwise don't say much. I don't really have any questions to ask him because, to be honest, I don't know anything about this man.

I suppose I could ask him, but it's not like I know of any rumors about him. For a moment I space out and don't hear any of the story he's currently telling.

"Hailey? Hailey?" My eyes widen and I shake my head.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. That was rude of me." God, I'm pathetic.

"It's alright. Did I bore you to death?"

"No, I just haven't been getting much sleep. Bri's been keeping me pretty busy." I lie.

He shrugs it off but doesn't continue the story. We kind of just sit there for a few minutes, not talking or even looking at each other. Its awkward, but it's nice.

That is until we hear people screaming and backing away from a table that's been flipped over. There's a man on the ground but I can't make out who it is. Until I see Chris towering over him.

"If you don't leave me alone, I will personally make your life a living hell and beat your ass." She's livid.
I glance back at Jake before I run over to find out what happened. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." She says shortly. Her eyes are burning with anger and she's staring daggers at his face. If looks could kill, this guy would already be in hell.

"Just some jack-ass wouldn't leave me alone. Come on." She takes my arm and pulls me away from the scene.
