Gary was always one of the "cool" kids in our school, I didn't even think he knew I existed let alone my name. I was so excited when he started talking to me, I couldn’t believe he was asking me to a party.

I got all dressed up for an evening out.

Strappy heeled shoes? Check.

Hair done? Check.

Little black dress that shows just enough to tantalize but not quite enough to be a tease? Check.

When the doorbell rang, I thought this was it, this was the moment my fairy tale began.

Nope, it was actually just our neighbor wanting to know if mom wanted anything from his garden. Gary pulled up in this orange colored monstrosity and honked the horn while they were still standing on the porch talking. This should have been my sign to cancel the evening right there but oh no, I’m a glutton for punishment.

Gary loved the dress, he kept glancing over at me smiling. He had the music too loud for conversation, which was probably a good thing since I was already nervous. His fingers kept grazing my thigh whenever he shifted gears, keeping my hands in my lap is the only thing that kept him from getting a peak at my panties.

When he pulled into the visitor parking center at Big Bear State Park, I thought maybe the party was being held in one of the cabins around here. We walked the little cement path for a little bit, I got a small thrill in me when he took my hand. I had butterflies in my stomach and stars in my eyes, I was barely paying attention when he guided me off the sidewalk onto the dirt path. At least I think it was a path, there was definitely an opening in the woods where we turned in here.

I don’t know how far into the woods we walked but my feet were starting to feel pinched and I was starting to worry my deodorant wasn’t up to the challenge when he said, “This looks like a good spot.”

The bad feeling that was niggling in the back of my brain was now screaming at me that this was not a good idea, I need to just turn around and leave. But before I realized what was happening, Gary was kissing me and I ignored that voice, like the dummy I am.

Before I knew what was happening, Gary was pushing me down to the ground.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Oh my god, he’s expecting me to roll around in the dirt with him, what the fuck?

I immediately pushed him off of me. He sat there looking like a wounded puppy, “Chill, I just thought you were so beautiful I couldn’t resist. Sorry if I came on a bit strong.”

“It’s okay, I guess. I just wish you would have told me we were coming out for a hike and not going to a party.” I said to him.

“Who said anything about a party? Oh wait a minute, is that why you’re all dolled up? “ He started to laugh as he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a joint and lit it up. “I asked if you wanted to come party, not come to a party.” He said as he took a long inhale and held the joint up to me. I declined. “You sure, it’s some primo stuff, might help loosen you up a bit, you seem very uptight.”

“No, I’m good. I think I need to just get out of here.” I waited to see if he’d get up, but no, he just sat there smoking.

“Whatever, you’re going to kill my buzz. My friends told me you’d be a buzzkill and not to even bother trying with you. I guess they were right, you are nothing but a cock tease. You could at the very least offer me a hand job.” He said as I started to walk away.

I wasn’t even sure which way the car was, I was hoping if I headed in the general direction, I would at least find the cement sidewalk again. I had been walking, in what I thought was the right direction for fifteen minutes when I heard Gary behind me.

“Awe, don’t be mad at me. It’s not my fault you don’t like to have fun.” He said jogging up to me, the idiot wasn’t even breaking a sweat.

“I like to have fun, this just isn’t my idea of fun.” I said, probably a little whiny. I hate whining but I couldn’t keep it out of my voice. I was on the verge of crying, I was so upset.

“Oh come on now, it’s not as bad as all that.” He said to me.

“I just want to go home, can we please just get out of this forest and back to the car?” My voice was cracking, I was on the verge of tears. I was so mad at myself, why didn’t I listen to the voice of reason? What was I thinking, I should have known this wasn’t going to work. He’s never even acknowledged me before.

“Wanna play a game? I spy with my little eye, something … green.”

“Gary, I swear I’ll kick you chest through your back, we need to figure out how to get out of the forest.”

“What makes you think I don’t know how to get out of here?” He said with a smirk on his face. “You know what you gotta do for me to take you back.”

At this point fury took over and things get a bit blurry. I remember picking up a stick and swinging it at him, he laughed. This made me even angrier.

I barely remember dropping the stick and picking up the rock. It was in my hand when I took a swing at his head. One good thump and he stopped laughing. He fell down. I saw blood starting to pool around his head from where I had struck him.

I dropped the rock.

I was in shock, I didn’t know what to do so I ran. I don’t even know which direction I was running before I finally heard a car. There must be an access road out here that I missed but the nice maintenance man didn’t have any problem stopping for me. He said he has been out here hunting and that’s why there’s blood on his clothes and a shovel in the back seat. He said he has one more stop to make before he will take me home.
