Preferably In Bed Sheets

24/02

It was finally Friday. I got through the whole day yesterday without throwing a brick at someone, no matter how badly I wanted to. My period arrived on Wednesday night and they're right when they say the second day is the worst.

Anyways, now that it's the third day, I'll be fine. Especially since Robin is throwing a party at his and Jessie will be there. I never got the chance to speak to him yesterday, although I was practically dying to know how his talk with Katie went. Are they back together or not?

I slipped into a pair of black skinny jeans and a stripy off shoulder top. My high tops seemed to appear appropriate with my outfit and a pair of gold studs I got for my birthday when I was nine.

I texted Paige I was leaving now, escorted by Jessie and Chad. Chad offered me a lift, and of course I'm not going to decline a ride to save my short legs. I shouted into my parents that I was leaving, although no one replied, then left through the window.

When I arrived at Jessie's window, I seen him shirtless searching through his chest of drawers. I cranked the window up silently, and coughed loudly to gain his attention.

"Hey De. I can't find a clean shirt. Help."

I rolled my eyes. He could probably find a clean shirt if he ever cleaned his room. It was worst than Sian's when I rarely enter her room. I leaned down to reach under his bed. There's bound to be something hiding underneath there.

"So," I began, "do you finally know what's happening with you and Katie?"

I managed to find a clean looking white v neck under the bed and fired it at Jessie. Jessie has been attending the gym with Chad more often as he's asked me to join them a few times. Of course I declined. The only exercise I do is walk to the fridge from my bed.

Jessie played with the shirt in his hands for a while before enveloping me into a big bear hug. My face rests peacefully upon his bare chest and he rested his chin on my head like he did the other day. I considered pushing him away, but realised I felt way too comfortable and safe to want to leave.

"I'm still not sure. She had to leave before we fully got to finish our conversation. I invited her to Robin's party tonight so I guess we'll finish it there. Are you ok? I mean, I know this is confusing for you, god knows it's confusing for me, but I don't want to lead you on. I know you really liked Harrison and I'm still wondering why you aren't still seeing him. It isn't because of me?"

I smiled into his chest. I never lie to Jessie and I don't want to start now but maybe I could extend the truth a little.

"I told you, I just don't feel anything for Harrison and I'm not even sure if I'm ready for a relationship."

Was I convincing enough? I don't think so, but Jessie seemed to buy it. He let me go from his safe arms and put his shirt on to my dismay. Jessie nodded towards the door indicting for me to open it. I spotted Chad chilling on couch with a pretty blonde.

"Are you ready to go? You know, we're really going to have to do something about that fire escape. You two can't be constantly entering through the window with crazy teen hormones," I blushed hard while Jessie laughed and scratched the back of his neck.

We all exited, including the pretty blonde who's name was Ashley. She was talking to me about the new job she has as a waitress, something she's useless at because she's so clumsy. I liked her. I hope Chad can actually keep her. I've known Chad for roughly three months now and I've yet to see him with a girl more than twice - which is good in some cases because some of them are bitches.

Once we arrived, the house was buzzing with life already. It was kind of like the cliche ones in movies except that it was the complete opposite. Instead of crazed, horny kids getting it on everywhere, people chilled on seats or the floor. No one danced crazily but instead nodded their head along to the beat of the music.
