Not Her

Date 11

Amalie's POV

"I can't believe you actually went through with the bet Amalie, It was supposed to be a joke!" Julia laughed from my bed as I was getting ready for my date with Nora"I would do a lot for 300 bucks Julia" I joked back. "Why you're rich as fuck"She was right I didn't really need the money."I enjoy the rush I guess," I said.  And I don't enjoy the rush at all. I'm getting all anxious and shit every time I'm near her. It's gross."Don't you think I'm going a little bit too far? I'm really messing with her feelings"."Well, didn't you do this to get revenge for that terrible thing she did to you in eighth grade or whatever," she said sarcastically." No, I'm totally over that!"."If u say so, you just have two weeks left and the money is yours," Julia said as she rolled her eyes.

As I walked to Nora's house I really thought about what I'm doing to her, to her feelings. Do I really want to do this? I asked myself a lot of times and the answer was yes every time. I need to do this.

I rang the doorbell where I was a couple of days ago to confess my dumb and fake feelings for her. When my thoughts were over suddenly there she was.

In the cutest white dress.

"Hey ready to go?" Nora said as she gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I hated acting like I'm in love with her. But I don't hate the kisses if I'm being honest. 

What? Don't judge.

Nora's a good kisser all right 

We went to this restaurant that had really good reviews. Super fancy"Woah this place is very umm formal" Nora smiled. "Yeah this place had really good reviews," I said". Cool, I'm not really used to going to fancy restaurants, to be honest,". She said awkwardly". Huh, aren't your parents super rich?" I said confused. "Yeah, I guess so. They just didn't let me go with them when they went out. I needed to be at home with the nanny. And then they started to go on longer and longer business trips so I just never spent any time at fancy restaurants and stuff. I just went out with my friends and got drunk " Nora laughed. I was silent. "Are you close with your parents?" She smiled. "Yeah, I guess. My mom is like my best friend" I said. "Awe that's so cute" Nora smiled. "Here are the menus ladies," The waiter said. He looked nice. "Thank you"."The food here sounds disgusting and this place is crawling with my parents business associates," Nora said.

"Yeah I know, Wanna ditch" 

"I thought you'd never ask" Nora laughed as she gathered her things.

We ran out of the restaurant her hand in mine. 

As we were out in the street  Nora spotted her favorite thing in the world. A liquor store.

"Wanna get drunk?" Nora said as she looked at me with the biggest grin on her face. I looked at her for a moment trying my hardest to keep a straight face before I cracked. "You're such an alcoholic " I laughed. "You're still the same old Amalie I see," Nora said as she took my hand and started running towards the store. "How will we even buy any alcohol, we're seventeen Nora,". "Do you really think that I don't have a fake ID? Please I got this". Nora went into the store as I waited outside. I couldn't even contain my smile while I stood outside waiting for her. She quickly came out with a flask of Smirnoff. 

"Hey, do you want to go back to my place, we can watch a movie or something," Nora asked

"Yeah, I would like that" I smiled. I really would like that.

While we were on our way to her house we talked and drank and talked and drank and talked and drank the entire way. When we arrived at Nora's house both of us were tipsy, to say the least. 

The moment Nora opened that door I pinned her to the wall and kissed her. 

We ended up ordering pizza and watching Nora's favorite movie. Superbad. 

"Is this really your favorite movie?" I grinned. "Yes it's awesome," Nora said. Nora was really drunk so everything she said made me laugh. We were in her room. Cuddling in her bed both about to fall asleep. "You know I was really really wrong about you," Nora said right before she fell asleep. "Yeah me too," I said. I really was wrong about her.

I woke up to my phone ringing. I woke up super confused. I quickly remembered where I was. "Shit I fell asleep" I whispered to myself.  Nora wasn't in bed. She had probably gone downstairs. I quickly looked at my phone and saw that my mom and dad had tried to call me at least thirty times. "Fuck fuck fuck" I mumbled to myself. I forgot to tell my parents that I was sleeping over at Nora's place. As I was about to text my mom I heard someone running upstairs. Nora ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed. "Amalie, your parents just pulled up! Are you in trouble or something?" Nora yelled. "Fuck they tracked my phone" I mumbled. "Tracked your phone?! What!" Nora exclaimed. "Calm down oh my god, they do this all the time, just go and open the door while I get dressed," I said much more calmly. "No parents hate me I can't meet them." Nora rambled. "You'll do fine just go!". Nora mumbled something as she quickly ran down the stairs again. 

As I went downstairs I was met with the weirdest pair of best friends ever. My mom, dad, and Nora. They sat at the kitchen island drinking coffee and talking about god knows what. Laughing and having a good time. "I'm ready to go now, let's go," I said awkwardly. "Honey wait Nora was just telling us about-" I quickly cut my mom off "Let's go, now!" "Fine fine my mom said as she gathered her purse". "Bye Amalie, Mrs, and Mr. Thatcher" Nora smiled.  "Parents love me" Nora quickly mouthed as we left.
