Just friends?

Chapter 22

MONDAY

I wake up with a headache. Ugh, why did I drink so much yesterday? I drink a big glass of water before checking my phone. Pierre messaged me.

*Hey, I have a film day with AlphaTauri, so I can't do anything today, I'm sorry. But maybe tomorrow?*

I also see a new number. That's weird, I definitely didn't give my number to anyone.

*Hey Sky, George here. I got your number from Charles, I hope you don't mind. I was wondering, do you want to drink something with me tonight? If you don't have plans already of course. I hope to get a message back.*

Come on Sky, you want to get to know him better right? But that won't work if you keep stuffing him in group parties and so on. This is your chance, you know what they say. YOLO.

*Hey George, it's a yes from me. Pick me up at 8 tonight?*

He replies immediately.

*Yes, what is your room number? Mine is 363, if that helps.*

Max also has a film day, so I'm on my own. That means nothing productive gets done and I'm watching Netflix for the whole day, before putting on a grey hoodie to match Mercedes and my shorts to drink something with George. I leave a note at the table.

*Went out to drink something with George, don't know when I'll be back.*

I hear a knock on the door. I open it and see George. "Hey, let me get my phone, and we can go."

He leads me to his car, a pretty nice Mercedes. I laugh.

He turns around. "What? Is there something wrong with my car?"

"No, but for some reason I wasn't expecting a Mercedes."

Now he is laughing as well. "Come in, and I'll drive to the location."

We arrive and immediately order drinks, while we talk about all kinds of stuff. Dream jobs, how school went, best friends, interest and so on.

As the evening goes by we start dancing. Not close, but just two friends enjoying life. Not that we don't drink alcohol, actually I end up being really drunk.

I feel tired, and I look at the clock. 11:30. "George, can we go back, I feel tired, and it's a half an hour drive."

"Yes, of course."

When we get back to the hotel we both go our own ways. George goes to his room, and I want to go to mine, but just in time I get the feeling that that's not the best idea, because Max would be angry at me when I stumble in drunk.

I don't want to spend the night at George, Lando is asleep for sure, just like Alex. Danny is somewhere having a party like he always does. Charles already left. I'll try Pierre then, maybe he's awake.

I make my way over to Pierre, and I knock on the door. A minute later a sleepy head pops out of the door. "Oh hey Sky, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly I feel like I'm going to throw up, and I quickly run to the bathroom, where I make it just in time.

Pierre sits down next to me, and he holds my hair out of my face. "Little bit too much alcohol huh?"
