I had always been friends with him. Well, I mean I did know him since I was like five, but I never knew I would fall in love with him. It’s stupid I know, but I can't help it. His name is Randy. He's 17 years old, 6’ 3”; lean, athletic body; messy looking dark brown hair, and the most beautiful green eyes. He was fucking gorgeous. How couldn’t I fall in love with him? Anyway, we are always together, we are practically glued at the hip as his mom would always say. So as usual, I went to his house to hang out Saturday morning. “So what are we going to do on this fine day?” I ask smiling as I walk out of the rain, through the door, and Randy looks at me with a sarcastic look on his face. “Oh, how about we just go outside and tan by the pool.” He says with a laugh. I chuckle and hang up my jacket in the closet. Randy walks over to the living room and turns on the TV. “I was hoping that maybe you would watch a movie with me. My parents had to take my car so we can't really go anywhere unless you want to walk in the rain.” He plops on the couch and I walk over and sit on the other side “Yeah, I guess that’s ok. I don’t think we really have a choice at this point.” I sigh. “What movie is it?” I ask. “Well, I was thinking maybe The Conjuring, but I know you hate scary movies.” He says with a frown. He moves to the middle cushion and reaches for the remote. “We can watch it if you want, but if it gets to scary we might need to turn it off.” Randy smiles at me and flips through the Netflix until he finds it. He clicks play and sits back to watch it. It was pretty dark since the clouds were blocking the sun. At first the movie wasn’t that scary, and I was perfectly fine. About halfway through was when I was getting scared. At one point I wa... ... middle of paper ... ... this up.” He says slightly nervously. “Randy, I think you’ve known me long enough to know that I won't do anything I don’t want to do.” I say with a laugh. “I’ll make it special I promise.” I smile at him and he smiles back, and we kiss. “Now lets shower.” Randy takes my hand again and helps me into the shower with him. We both wash ourselves separately, too nervous to touch each other. There was an occasional smile to each other, but other that that our shower was pretty uneventful. Randy got out of the shower first, followed by me. He handed me a towel as a walked out and then he dried himself off. “ How about you go get some boxers on and lay in bed. I'll be right in.” I smile at him deviously as he walks out the door. I get myself cleaned up quickly and I wrap myself up back in the towel. I walk into the room and Randy is lying on the bed like I told him to do.
The horror genre is synonymous with images of terror, violence and human carnage; the mere mention of horror movies evokes physical and psychological torture. As remarked by noted author Stephen King “the mythic horror movie…has a dirty job to do. It deliberately appeals to all that is worst in us. It is morbidity unchained, our most base instincts let free, our nastiest fantasies realized.” (King, 786). At manageable intervals, we choose to live these horrific events vicariously through the characters in horror movies and books as a means of safely experiencing the “what if”. The horror genre allows us to explore our fears, be it spiders, vampires, loss of our identity, or death of a loved, under the most fantastic and horrible circumstances conceivable. King also points out that by watching horror movies we “may allow our emotions a free rein . . . or no rein at all.” (King, 784). According to psychiatrist James Schaller, by vicariously “experiencing contrived fears, a person develops a sense of competence over similar types of fears.” (Schaller). Horror films allow the viewer the opportunity to safely examine their fears safely and to the depth and extent they wish to do so. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 provides the opportunity for the viewer to consider a diverse range of fears, with a little humor thrown in for balance, from the safety of a darkened room, a comfortable seat and in less than 120 minutes.
The time was around 10:30 and my eyelids felt as heavy as a brick to keep open. I was just about to shut everything down for the night, when the loud sound of a snapchat notification startled me awake. I looked at the blaring screen of my phone in the dark, to see it was from my friend Jordan. Flirting with each other was our thing, but nothing more. At the end of everything, he's a junior and I'm a freshman, he still wants me to grow up a little bit. I opened up
Arriving at Lacey’s house I walk to the backdoor letting myself into the house. Lacey was putting on tanning lotion in the kitchen, “Lacey,” I called to her, “my mom wants me to pick up snacks for the beach, do you want to go into town with me?”, “Sure,” she replied, “do you mind if my cousin comes with us?”, “Of course I don’t mind,“ I answered, “but we have to get moving, my dad only left me the car to use ‘til noon.”
“What are you going to do this summer Billy”? asked Nicole. “I was going to hang out with the old man but we will probably only see him for the holidays, he is always gone with his truck driving job”, said Billy. “Yeah, and ma works at the thrift store all the time, and dating John, I wonder if she fucks him?” laughed Nicole. “I bet the old man finds a lot lizards or two at the truck stops, fifty bucks gets his load sucked off, two bills to slip it in the tight spot!” laughed Billy. “We shouldn’t talk about our parents like that” laughed Nicole. Billy looking at Nicole, he pressed his body against her and grabbed her ass “BILLY!” said Nicole. “Everyone has their own secrets behind closed doors, ummm” said Billy slowly. “Ohh” said Nicole. Both smiling, He let go of her slowly, focusing on the warm feeling of her triple D breasts now creating a cold spot on his chest. “I know you listen to me when I sit naked on my computer in my room…huh” said Billy. Nicole’s cheeks blushing. “Do you think about…?” asked Billy. “You walked in on me in the bathroom” explained Nicole. “I really had to go and you didn’t seem to hide yourself while you were shaving your cunt” said Billy. “Do you think about… when you see me in the shower?” asked Nicole.
"That's great. Besides, we've got hours to work through all these films so no hurry." Eddie kissed Aleks cheek as he grabbed the remote and hit play.
Casually kneeling in between his spread legs, you laugh stiffly as you place the towel over his head and gently (quickly) towel him off. He gives a sincere smile (gorgeous) and you can't help but return it, shocked at how quickly you seem to have mended. Fear grips you as you realize that you may be too hopeful, and he's not really here for all the reasons you want him to be. Smile lost, you hastily try to retreat. He notices and grips your wrist, pulling you into his soaked chest and nuzzling into the crook of your neck and biting tenderly. You blush furiously and try to pull away, even if it's only to see his face.
“I guess we do have to stay. I mean it was my idea after all. I can’t chicken out on this.” I say standing back up. “And Maggie gave me something to use in a time like this.” Grinning, I pull out the potions Maggie gave me.
Horror movies force us to confront our many fears and phobias, chief among them, our fear of the dark. Even their titles reflect this: Night of the Living Dead, Fright Night, Dracula, Prince of Darkness, Dark Waters. Because movies, by their very nature, must be viewed in the dark, this is an element that is highly exploited and capitalized upon by movie-maker...
As an 18-year-old, I was known as out-going and friendly, as well as a bit ditsy. I drank Mountain Dew religiously and smoked cigarettes with the same feverish devotion. I also smoked pot recreationally and drank alcohol less regularly. I was a bit immature. All I cared about was feeling good and having fun. My boyfriend Randy and I were inseparable. We did everything together and we loved each other intensely. We had been dating for a year and a half; nothing else mattered to us except each other. Then, in July, everything changed.
Before I left his house I asked him if he had wanted a ride to graduation, due to the fact he was in a car accident four days prior and the only vehicle he had at the moment was his motorcycle. He responded with a polite, "Nah." That's when I knew he wanted to take his bike. When I got home I quickly got ready, I ironed my cap and gown, did my make-up and hair, and made my last phone call to Andrew. I called him right before I left and asked him if he was sure he did not want a ride.
Friends Forever My way of life has never been what anyone would call normal. It’s only second nature to hear the words “peculiar” or “weird” when describing family and friends. The funny thing is, it really doesn’t bother me.
Romance had never been the big thing for me. I would listen to girls talk about how they just loved so and so and how so and so was just soooo fine. Please! I had been hurt by too many guys to even think about wanting another one. By the time I started Highschool I had done that dating thing and learned the hard way that every boy did not have your best intentions at heart. Once I reached my sophomore year of highschool I was through with dating. I had decided that guys were just no good period. That is until I met Miguel. Boy was I in for the shock of my life.
Friendships are one of the most important things you can get out of life. It’s something that everyone has to have because without it we would all go insane. Just think if no one talked to each other and we never made friends, this world would be a ticking time bomb. Studies say human need friendships and love to survive. So friendship is a big part of your life.
Life is strange. I never thought that I would consider my one time enemy, my "best" friend. The first time I met my best friend was in the sixth grade. We both played on the same youth basketball team. We were both arrogant and bratty kids, who thought that the world revolved around us. With that much personality, problems were bound to happen. We made fun of each other and occasionally got into scuffles. Fortunately like all humans, we grew up and found a common bond that grew into a friendship.
