Chapter 5
Saturday
Bring! Bring! Bring!
"Hello?"
"Hey Alicia. It's Brandon."
"Oh," Alicia stared at the sleeping form under her covers. "How'd you get my number?" Alicia asked in panic. She had gotten herself drunk at her cousin, Nikki's house and probably slept with her best friend Katelyn. Yeah, a girl.
"I asked Ariana." He said modestly.
"How'd she know my number?" Alicia mumbled to herself.
"Well anyways, the party was great. Right?" He asked with what sounded like insecurity. Something in Alicia chest tightened. "Yeah." Alicia replied back with a heavy sigh.
"Why so sad sounding?" Brandon asked with concern. "Nothing. I have to go." Alicia hanged up without saying goodbye.
She was getting a little too deep in with her relationship with Brandon. All she had to do was screw him. All I have to do is screw him. All I have to do is screw him. Alicia kept chanting this. Hopeing by tomorrow, she would start to believe them.
Monday
"Good Morning Munroe High School!" A less peppy voice came over the microphone. "Since Kathy got hit by a car, I'll do the announcements! That'll be all."
"Hey!" A random kid shouted in the hallway. "What's the weather!!??"
Brandon turned to Alicia with a half-smile. "Something new for a change, huh?"
Alicia smiled back with less enthusiasm. "Yeah." She giggled nervously.
Just then, Maddie, Rebecca, and Ariana waltzed by without even a glance at Brandon and Alicia. "This PMS must be spreading through the whole school." Alicia whispered to herself. "I couldn't agree more." The first bell rang. "Oh, I gotta go to Gym." Brandon said as he closed his locker.
"Why?" Alicia asked.
"Switched schedule, bye." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and was running off down the hall as the second bell rang.
Alicia ran to the bathroom before anyone saw her blush.
Tuesday
"Hey Alicia!" Brandon called.
"Hey Brandon!" Alicia smiled for the first time that week. "I was wondering...,"
"Yeah?" Alicia asked. "Do you maybe, wanna go out?" Brandon asked nervously.
Alicia froze. Without a second thought, the words flew out. "Sure!"
And that was the end of that.
Two Weeks Later
Alicia stood next to her locker, looking at the ground. What she didn't notice was Ariana approach the half-asleep brunette.
"Hello Alicia." Ariana said in a calm voice.
Alicia squinted at Ariana. In a confused voice, she said, "Wha-what? Are you talking to me?"
Ariana rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you better be lucky. No one likes you anymore."
"When did they ever start?" Alicia murmured to herself.
"Point is, the deal's off."
"What deal?" Alicia asked with so much attitude. She deserved it. Ariana was the closest thing Alicia had to a friend.
"The one where you get Brandon Perrymen to fall for you. It's off."
"Deal?" A voice drifted over towards the two girls.
They both turned at once. Brandon stood there with a square object in his shaking hands.
"Brandon. It's not what you thi-" Alicia started with pleading eyes.
"A nasty deal to get me to fall in love with you. Well, it worked. Now you can go on with every other boy on The Guys List!" He threw the square objects on the ground along with the envelope that read 'Pads' on it.
"Ehmagawd!" Alicia heard Ariana gasp and heard the click-clack-clacking against the marble floor pass a crying Alicia.
Alicia fell to her knees as a blurry Brandon and Ariana walk away. Her world had fell apart. When she actually loved a guy, he slipped through her fingers.
