I spent the next day with mom, rather, mom dragged me to the mall, to get clothes.
The whole freaking day she dragged me around and got me a whole new set of wardrobe. Even had me fitted at the tailor's for formal suits. The whole thing was more tiring than football practice! I may have collapsed on my bed the moment my head hit the pillows.
.
The voltes 5 ringtone woke me in a jolt. Made my brain wobbly. But I had to answer it. It is actually a special ringtone--
"Yow!" Spit formed in my mouth and I had to cough slightly.
"Dude! Mikey! Did I wake you?"
My face couldn't help but form a smile. Her voice is always like sweet music to my ears.
"Yeh," I think my voice came out husky. I leaned back to my bed and glanced at the side table -- 2:03 PM.
"You guys back?" I ask.
I can almost imagine that grin on her face, "yup! Tobey and Theo are staying till tomorrow"
She has 3 older siblings, the twins Tobey and Theo are 22 years old, doing college in MIT. Then Natalie, almost 18, will be senior with us when school starts.
Natalie is prolly gonna be head cheerleader. She's all that- hot, sexy, dresses in smexy clothes, and dates the quarterback. She likes to play around with boys and has somewhat a reputation. Their family is super close though, Nat always watched out for Nia.
"Wanna hang out?" I ask her. Please. Please please say yes.
"Can you come over later? The sibs are having a pool party. Dad and mom agreed for beer"
Well, she hates alcohol.
"Your jocks and cheerleaders were invited," she added. My jocks. I guess it means the football team.
"Your bandmates coming?" I ask. She plays the trombone and often sings during games. I love her voice.
"Nah. I didn't invite anyone. Still sleepy"
"Yeah.. me too," I say while getting up to go to the bathroom. All the clothes mom bought still covered the floor.
"Just come over my room, I miss you," she added the last part hastily. And I swear, I hope it means something else.
My stomach made summersaults at the possibilìty.
"Ha! I knew it! You can't bear to be away from me"
I think my grin reached my ears now.
"Well duh," she scoffed, not even bothering to contradict, "I've just had enough of Nat making me wear pointy strappy heels. I mean, jeez, my legs were nearly always numb from the cold! I am so not ready to wear ass skirts again"
What the?-
"Well you better not. Or else I'll just follow you around with a big blanket or carry you off to hide you"
She lold actually. So I just had to add,
"Your sister better not make you wear her skimpy clothes when school starts, or I swear--"
"Chill bro," she cut me off. The hell? She just bro-zoned me?
"I'm still wearing hobo clothes to school. Just come over later. I can hear your piss over the phone--"
Well, I am peeing. She didn't bother to wait for my reply and hung up.
Nia is the super ultimate nerd. IQ like Einstein. Memory like a frickin computer. Musical prowess to rival artists. Not to mention, insanely gorgeous. She got noticed last year, when we started freshman year and her braces came off. Reddish hair, I think Auburn is the correct name, hazel eyes. A figure developing like her mom and sister.
Heck, I noticed. Which is why I've been over zealous in fending off other boys. I kissed her when we were 8 years. Just so I was her first kiss. She didn't talk to me for a week, waiting for cooties to come out her face. I mean. The hell.
