Be My Baby ( A Sheo Story)

Chapter 2: Darren

Shai POV:

"Gosh Zoë, that looks so painful" I say. Zoë is getting her brand new tattoo now. It looks like an arrow, it also looks very painful.
"Well, it's not that painful. You definitely feel it but it's not a real pain" she think for a minute. "It's like the pain you enjoy"Zoë says and she gives me a smile. I smile back at her while I have no clue what she meant with 'pain that you enjoy'.
"What are we going to do tonight anyways?" I ask.
"You've asked this 3 times now. Uggg. First I'll do your make up and dress you up. After that we're going to a party and you'll get a boyfriend!" She squeals. She almost claps her hand but the woman who is giving Zoë her tattoo, commands her to stay still. "I'll probably drink a lot, and hang around with Miles as usual!" She's smiles. A lot of people think her and Miles are dating, but they just have this amazing connection and it's super cute. Just like me and Theo! "Oh and you'll get your first official kiss" She says.
That's the thing I'm nervous about. I've never kissed a boy. Basically everyone else at this age has had a boyfriend or girlfriend, or they kissed a boy or girl at least. But I did/had none of them! If I actually get my first real kiss tonight, I don't even know how to do it, and I know for some reason that I will mess up and then I'll stay single and unkissed forever. ughhhh. 18 Years old and still this drama.
"By the way , will your parents be okay with this? The party and shit?" Zoë asks.
"Uh probably not but as long as I keep my grades up nothing will happen plus; they don't need to know I'm at a party?!" I nervously laugh. My parents are really strict. They call me everyday to ask about my grades, if I came late into the class, if I got detention and that stuff. It annoys me so much. They only care about my school stuff but not about me, only about my oh-so-great brother Tanner. I love him and he loves me but my parent make me actually hate him. I'm so jealous that he gets love and not only bad comments from my parents. That's the main reason why I choosed a college far from home, so that I don't get to come back home every day.
"True that" She says. I just nod.

"Thank you!" Zoë screams as we walk out of the tattoo shop.
"Nowwwwww gurl, we only got 2 more hours and I need to do alot, look at you!" She says. I look down and see that I really look horrible. My ripped jeans with a simple, and I mean SIMPLE sweatshirt and my completely not matching Jordans.
"Sorry I don't know what got into me" I say the last part almost whispering.
"Ah, it doesn't matter, now I can do something right!? Okay chop chop"

"Dress check, make- up check, smoking hot body check, badass super amazing ultra sexy best friend *cough* me *cough* check" Zoë laughs pointing at me everytime she says check, except for that 'badass super amazing ultra sexy best friend' part, that's when she pointed to herself. "Yes Zoë you are sexy af" I tell her. She just winks and says "I know I know"
"Now your hair..... I'm going to straighten it and curl it at the tips" Dhe says and she starts immediately, I couldn't even tell if that's how I wanted my hair or not!
"Okaaaay" I say to fill up the silence.
"You're nervous hu?" Zoë says, looking in the mirror so that she is looking at me through the mirror.
"Yeah, it's just, I've never really been to a party, I was probably the only one here who didn't break the rules and now, I just want to live you know" I say. Zoë nods and looks like she is thinking about what to say, but I don't give her the chance to.
"Like, I never had a boyfriend because all I did was homework and school stuff. It's not that I'm a nerd but I just didn't really have much choice with parents like this right? It was an actual wonder that you and Theo wanted to be friends with me. 10th grade was a total miracle when I was invited to a party, but my mom didn't let me go." I explain.
"I mean who wants to have a girlfriend like this." I point to myself.

"Gurll stahp. really you are so pretty and I don't only say this because we're friends cause me and Ruth are also friends and I told her I think she is ugly, but back to the point, you are beautiful! There are stupid guys who don't see that you are beautiful but that's their problem not yours! Tonight I'll show you that you are pretty and that boys definitely check you out." She says.
"Hair check" She smiles. I begin to smile but I immediately blush when I think of the question I'm about to ask.
"Zoë, how do you kiss" I bite my lip.
She laughs and holds her head in her hands.
"Babe, you just do it, do what feels best for you and just kiss him. Nothing can be worse than my kiss with Theo in 9th grade when I bite his tongue."
"Omg I remember that!!" I laugh, but for some strange reason it also makes me a bit jealous. I know Theo is only my best friend but Zoë is also my best friend and my two best friends kissing, idk it's weird to me. Plus; she actually had a kiss and I didn't so she can't complain.

"You two were dating back then hu?!" I say to tease her.
"It was nothing. We kissed about 10 times and then he broke up and got with Ruth, not that I liked him that much anyway so I didn't really care." She says like it was nothing.
"Bruuuuhhh it was more like 100 times, that was the only thing you were doing before class, in class, after class and I was there like 'kay whut now' " I laugh. Zoë laughs really hard but got out a tiny 'sorry' from her mouth while she was still laughing.
"Whatever" I catch my breath "let's just go"

<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>

"Zoë, I'm not really enjoying this party" I tell Zoë. If I'm being honest right now, I'd rather go to the movie with Theo and Ruth than Stay at this party, but I'm doing Zoë a favor.
"Ug shut up and take this" Zoë is already drunk or tipsy or whatever (at least she's having fun) but all I've been doing is looking at how her and Miles are grinding.
"What's this?" I ask. I only had alcohol twice and I got drunk pretty easily.
"Bottoms up" She replies and with that I drink the liquid all at once. As soon as it's gone I feel dizzy.
"What the hell is this?" I ask Zoë kinda shocked that I was dizzy already.
"Vodkaaaaaaaaaah" She says in a high pitched voice.
"Now go over to that handsome guy there, right there, who is sitting alone and make out with him" she laughs. Darren, she points to Darren oh damn
"What?! I can't just go there and-" But before I could explain or discuss anything with her she pushed me almost in his face.
She gives me a wink and walks away but as soon as she leaves I stumble backwards and almost fall but lucky me I grab the first thing I see and that happens to be Darren's muscular arms.

"I'm so sorry, my friend there gave me this drink and I usually don't drink so I get dizzy very easily and-" He cuts me off.
"You don't need to give me an explanation" he laughs. That's really cute, and he's really hot! "But you can give me my arm back now." that's when I realize that I still have my hand on his arm.
I immediately blush and back off.
"Sorry again" I chuckle.
"It's okay, I'm Darren and you are?" He asks.
"Shailene, Shailene Woodley. I'm in your biology class, math class and more I guess" I say shyly.
"Yeah! I've seen you so much I was just afraid to talk to you since you where so pretty and looked so nice and I'm just me and I mean, why would you talk to me so I kinda waited till you spoke to me and this doesn't make sense so yeah" He says. He's really nervous and he is even cuter.
So he has seen me around, stalker much?
"Oh gosh that probably sounds like I stalk you, it's just I've seen you around...." He mumbles something after that but I can't hear it.
I giggle "I've also seen you around, today actually." I tell him.
"You did? You actually saw me? Wow" he tells me.
"What do you mean with that! You have lots of friends, beautiful friends and so many girls like you!" I tell him.
"That's true, I guess, but you're a girl I'm interested in and most girls I like don't talk back to me" He says. I giggle a bit, so he is interested in me?? Wow this is weird. I realise I've been silent for too long when he begins to rub his sweaty hands on his pants and says to me: "You don't have to stay you can also go I totally get it."
"What no, I was just thinking about what you said" I tell him. I swing to the music.
I hear him mumble 'fucking idiot' and I know he's talking to himself but I feel like messing with him.
"Are you talking to me?" I tease.
"What?" He seems confused at first but if he gets what I'm talking about, his face gets even more red.
"OH NO NO, I was talking to myself, shit, sorry" He tries. He's only making it worse but it's cute how he is so nervous, I never knew boys could be this nervous.
I look at his shirt and it's almost like I can see the sweat dripping down his arms. It's hot here but not that hot, mybe it's because he's nervous? Just as he's about to say something the music gets really loud.
"Should we go to the other room to talk? I can hear you better there, I guess" He says over the music. I nod, as long as we just 'talk' I'm okay with it.
He takes my hand and leads me to the room. When I look around I see Zoë giving me a double thumbs up. Now I just need to try not to make a fool of myself!
