dangerous, which was the complete opposite of Daniel. Sure Daniel was hot, but there wasn’t a dangerous bone in his body, he was too much of a good guy for that. He was the All-American golden boy. The change to Randy would be exactly what she needed to distract herself for the time being.
    “I can’t believe we are skipping school,” Marissa Lou said with a sparkle in her eye. She was always up for a good time, but defying authority wasn’t something she was accustomed to.
    Randy smirked, “You’ve never skipped before?”
    She shook her head ‘no’, but the smile she gave him told him she liked the thrill.
    He gave her a considering look before he reached across her with his free hand and opened the glove compartment. He was so close his face was practically on her chest. He was so close he could probably even hear her heart speed up at their closeness. He smiled when he found what he was looking for. He sat up and leaned in close to her again.
    She watched him in disbelief as he lit a lighter, lighting up a joint. She knew people that smoked pot, but she was not one of them. She didn’t like the burned out way potheads acted. She always said if there was ever a top unattractive quality in a person, it would be that one.
    “Here, you want some?” he asked holding the joint out to her.
    She looked away and fanned the smoke from her and stifled the need to cough. “No, I’m good. Thanks.”
    He pulled the joint back and put it to his lips, taking a big inhale of the toxic fumes. He grabbed her chin, turned her face to him and crushed his lips to hers, forcing the smoke into her mouth.
    “What the hell?” she asked coughing on the foreign substance.
    “Hey, don’t knock it before you try it,” he said and shrugged his shoulders.
    She quickly became annoyed at his obvious lack of care of what she wanted. She pushed away from him and stared out her side window. But within minutes the mad feelings steadily dissolved leaving her with a sense of giggly happiness, although she was working hard to hide it from him, not wanting to give him the satisfaction.
    After a while he seemed unconcerned about her protest and pulled her back to him. She was feeling too loopy to fight it. He took another puff from the joint, lightly grabbed her chin to face him, and without any warning pressed his lips to hers. She instinctively opened her mouth to allow the kiss, expecting that to be what he wanted, but when she did he exhaled the toxic fumes straight into her mouth and down her throat again. She quickly pushed him back and a fit of coughs over took her. She had never smoked anything before, so the substance was foreign to her, and her lungs didn’t like it. Not one bit.
    “Jerk!” she yelled through gasps and flung the truck door open. He fooled her not once, but twice, and that wasn’t okay with her.
    “Hey, where ya goin? I was just mess’n,” Randy asked, laughing as he followed behind her. “Hey, wait up,” he said grabbing her arm and spinning her around to face him.
    The sudden movement made her head spin, thankfully he was holding her arm to keep her upright. Still, she grabbed his arms for added support and bent her head. When she regained composure she looked up at him and punched him in the arm. Unfortunately, it was much lighter than she would have liked.
    “Jerk!” she yelled again.
    Randy, still holding her arm, albeit loosely, tried to keep a straight face, but the look of cute-girl-anger etched on her pretty face amused him, along with the effects from the joint.
    “I don’t know what’s so funny,” she said feeling even more annoyed.
    Obviously it didn’t have its desired effect because with that he completely lost it.
    “Stop it! Stop laughing at me!”
    The higher her voice got the more he laughed.
    “Oh…my…god…I can’t,” he said through breaths.
    Within minutes her anger slowly began to dissipate until she too was laughing. At what, neither of them really knew, but something sure
