Taste of Peaches

"Thank you." I said to Alessandro before he left out the door and I was yet again left with my own thoughts.

I was feeling better and all I could think about was the way he treated me the last few days.

I had no idea why he did it but as I sat on the coach and went to open my laptop I saw like 50 unopened assignments from my teachers.

I let out a loud groan before getting to work on turning them in.

I knew it was going to take me a few sleeples nights to catch up on all the shit so I ordered post mates before working on a paper for my professer.

Long story short when I came back to school the next day it was stressful.

I was walking out of my class when somebody approached me in the hall. "Hello Mia." a familiar voice said and I turned around to meet Camila's sharp gaze.

"Oh hi Camila." I said while continuing down the hall.

"I heard you were sick. You ok?" she asked and I just nodded while indearigly smiling at the girl.

I saw her nodd her head in sympathy before continuing talking. I kindove zoned out entel she mentiuned inviting me to a party on friday.

"So you want to go?" She asked and I thought about it before just nodding my head. I didnt really know why it was so easy for Camila to talk me into going places with her but honestly I didnt mind her company so I just didnt ask questions.

"Well i'll text you the adress. And if there's anyone you want to bring don't be shy to...'' I heared her say and my mind flashed to Alessandro.

I didnt know if he would want to spend more time with me after he had spent almost four days taking care of me when I was sick.

I tried getting the self doubt out of my head before promising to myself that I would invite him. Even if he couldn't make it at least I was making an effort to spend time with him. We were friends either way, and friends spent time together.

"Bye Camila!" I called out to her as she started walking away.

"Bye M." she stated and I just smiled.

I continued down the hall and made it just in time to get to my next class. Just as I sat down a notification came from my phone and I looked down to see Camila had texted me the information.

I forwarded the info to Alessandro before putting my phone on silent and looking back up at the teacher who was setting up there presentation for the day.

After about 30 minutes into the lecture Mrs. Ruth let us do our independent work and started making her way over to me.

"Hello Mia." she said and I smiled up at her after finishing the sentence I was working on so I didnt lose my train of thought.

"I saw you didnt come into class the last few days, is there a reason for that?" she asked and I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion before answering her.

"I'm sorry I got sick. I wasnt able to come into any of my classes." Her face flushed with understanding before she nodded her head and placed a piece of paper down on my desk.

"Thats fine. I was able to get all the late assignments you turned in yesterday, they should be graded by monday next week." she said and I just nodded while smiling.

"Thankyou." I stated as she walked away and I looked down at the paper she had put on my desk.

When I looked down I saw it was a grade on my last paper, when I saw it was a 98% I smiled to myself remembering it was the work Alessandro had helped me with that night I went to see him at his garage.

The day passed bye pretty quickly after that so when I got home and pulled into the driveway a call coming from my phone pulled me out of my daze.

I looked at the caller I.D. to see Jacques.

"Bonjur." I said into the phone and heard him laugh on the other side of the line.

"Hello Mia. It's good to hear from you finally, are you ok?" He asked, and it was at about then that it occurred to me that I had dropped my phone and hung up the phone when I had thrown up.

"Oh my god." I muttered to myself in frustration. "Oh I'm fine. I am so sorry I didnt get back to you after I threw up that one day." I said while Jacques just said it was fine.

"Honestly Mia, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure you where ok- Oh fuck! I'll call you back Mia bye!" he said while hanging up. I just sat there for a minute taking in what had just happened before Delilah barking from the front window made me look up to see the cute dog staring out me.

I decided to just blow off the conversation I had kust had while getting my stuff from the inside of the car and walking inside while Delilah kept jumping up on my legs.

When I turned on the light and placed my bag on the dining room table, a high pitched shout made me let out a startled scream.

"Suprize!" Alice yelled and I immediately turned around and ran into her arms while a giant grin spread across my face.

"Alice?" I said astonished that she was here and not in New York where she was going to school. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked while she placed a big kiss on my cheek.

I giggled while tightly hugging her again.

"I took off a week from school to come see you.'' she said and then gave me a mishtivius grin. "Where gonna get so fucked." I just rolled my eyes at her before she jumped ran to the kitchen and came back with a bottle of wine and two glasses.

"Alice..." I said with much disiproval but she just rolled her eyes while pouring us each a glass and pulling me over to the coach.

I sat down with her and we ended up just watching Brigiton together.

As I sat next to her I felt her lean her head against mine and I just smiled.

"You wanna go to a party with me tomorrow?" I asked and felt a smile form on her lips.

"That sounds fun Mia." she said while nodding and taking another sip of her wine.

I took this time to look down at my notifications where I saw Alessandro had texted me back with a yes and that he would meet me there.

It would be a good thing to have Alice meet Alessandro.

I knew for a fact Alice would want to meet the boy that had taken me away from her on the last days of our trip to Spain.

"I love you." I told her before gulping down my glass of wine and cuddling closer to her.

"And I love you just as much Best friend." she satiated while I smiled at the TV like a crazy person.

Love makes you do weird things, that's for sure...

After I left Alice at my house on friday so I could go to school and I got home I found her at the dining room table with two dresses sprawled out on it while she was doing her makeup.

"Hey love of my life." I stated while walking up to her and hugging her small frame from behind, all while kissing her head.

"I made these for a fashion project at the beginning of the year. You like?" she asked and I looked down at them.

There was a black slip dress and a weight one that looked like it would reach your mid thigh. They looked fantastic and I knew she had made them with the two of us wearing them together in mind.

Science the last time I had seen Alice the had not only cut her hair so it wasnt as long but she also went back to her natural dark brown hair.

I loved the way she looked and knew she did too.

"They look great Alice. Thankyou..." I said and she just smiled while continuing on her makeup.
