About Last Night

Chapter 12

"No problem, is she your new friend?"

"Yea, it's her first day here. I don't think we made a good impression of ourselves nor Brookwood High school."

"I did, she clearly likes me," he says with a smirk on his face

"Oh shut up, no one likes you," I said laughing while softly punching his shoulder.

"I'm backkk!" said Melissa "shouldn't we head to school?"

"We probably should-" I said

"No we don't," said Hardin

"Well, Melissa and I left our stuff over there so we should probably go get it," I said

"No need for that, I got yall's stuff, it's in the car," said Hardin

"How did you know what belonged to me?" asked Melissa in shock.

"I just simply asked the teacher, and as for Elle, I know her belongings very well," he said looking at me smiling. I rolled my eyes at him at looked at Melissa.

"Well, then what should we do?" asked Melissa. "Oh, I know! We should tell each other a little more about ourselves! That way we get to know each other more! I'll go first! I live with both my parents and have a younger sister! I used to live in Kansas but my parents decided to move here for a job opportunity! You go next Elle!"

"Well, I live with my mom and don't have any siblings so my life is pretty boring. My mom and I used to live with my dad in Georgia but we moved here because my mom found a great job opportunity as well. I used to live about 20 to 25 minutes away from here but Uhm, well we moved here instead. Hardin, I guess it's your turn now."

"I'm Hardin and I'm the fuckboy of the school according to Elle."

"C'mon, don't you have more to tell us, like where you used to live or where you live, siblings, or who you live with?" said Melissa

"Well, I live with my dad, a couple of houses down, I had a step-brother because my da re-married with another woman. But then she left him with the baby and left us. So it's just my dad, Brian, and I."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that," Melissa and I said. I then get a call from my mom,

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hey sweetie, I really need you to get over here, the car broke down, and you have your car so I hope you don't mind picking me up," she said with a worried voice.

"Yea, I'll be there shortly," I said and hung up. "I have to go you guys,"

"Where are you going?" asked Hardin

"Can we stay here while you come back?" asked Melissa

"I would say yes, but I have to go pick up my mom and we should still be in school so I don't want her to get upset."

"Oh, that's fine," said Melissa

"I guess I'll just go home," said Hardin

"Yea, I will too," said Melissa

1 week later

*phone buzzing* "Hello?"

"I need your help,"

"Who is this?" I asked

"It's Brian, Hardins brother,"

"What happened?"

"Well Hardin had an argument with our dad and he would talk to anyone. He's talked about you before so I was hoping you could help."

"Yea, send me the address." I was surprised someone would call me that early in the morning, I grabbed my car keys and left. As I was driving, I saw two people sitting at the park. It was Hardin and Melissa!

"What the hell," I said confused as I parked on the opposite side of the road so it would seem like I lived in the house next to the park. I walk closer and what the fuck, they were kissing!

"Hardin!" I yell, "What the fuck are you doing?" They quickly stopped and Hardin got up.

"Wha- what are you doing here?"

"Well, I got a call from Brian saying that you had a fight with your dad and that he needed my help."

"Well, my dad and I did have an argument but I don't know why Brian called you or how he got your number."

"Well, why the fuck are you kissing Melissa?!"

"Because I can,"

"You are drunk aren't you?!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes you are, I can smell you're breathe and it smells like alcohol. You should probably go home and rest." "As for you Melissa, you know better than this. He's drunk and not in his senses." I grab Hardin and put take him to my car, Melissa following behind me. Hardin asks to go in the front seat but I put him in the backseat and Melissa sits next to him to make sure he doesn't throw up in my car. I look up the address that Brian had sent me and drive there but before I drop Melissa off at her house since it was on my way there. After she gets off the car I keep on driving and Hardin says,

"Your jealous arent you?"

"What, no I am not why would I be?" I say confidently. Of course, I was. I was indeed jealous that Hardin and Melissa were kissing, but I just kept reminding myself that we weren't in a relationship and that he was drunk.

"Yes, you are. Your jealous that I was kissing Melissa and it wasn't you." I roll my eyes and drove him home.
