How did we end up here

Chapter 9

Heyy guys welcome to chapter 9! thank you so much for reading! i hope you like it!

Monday was kind of uneventful. The only interesting thing of this day was, when Maya told me about her date with Max.

"He was so sweet. We went out to eat at a restaurant, but he told me not to get dessert because he had something planned. He paid for our food then drove us to a little park where he had a picknick set up and he had some cake and chocolate dipped strawberries. After we ate, he asked me to be his girlfriend!", Maya told me the story with excitement. "And what did you say?", I asked her even more excited. "Of course, I said yes!", she yelled. I was so happy for her. She seemed so happy talking about him and he sounded really thoughtful.

We were just chatting at our table when suddenly Max and his friend group came by our table. It was then that it dawned on me, now that they were together Maya would be hanging out with Max aka with his friend group and that would mean I also have to hang out more with them. I wasn't very fond of that idea, but I knew it wasn't my place to say anything.

Max sat down beside Maya and the other two guys sat down at the table. On sat beside me and the other beside Max. The last person who sat down was Zane, and the only place left was on my other side, so he sat down there. They were all just talking about anything, and I found out the guy wo's sitting beside me was Alex and the other one was Brian. Alex had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes and Brian had light brown hair and green eyes. They are attractive but even I saw that they don't even come close to Zane, with his dark brown almost black hair and dark brown eyes. He was also taller than all his other friends.

I was just sitting at the table awkwardly listening to the conversations, because I didn't want to just but in and start talking with them and Maya was too busy with Max, so I was just sat there. "So, Ayla, right? You figure skate, right?", Alex suddenly asked me. "Yeah.", I was kind of flustered. I didn't really plan on having conversations with them. "Yeah, Zane talks about you a lot.", he added smirking at me and then looking at Zane. I didn't know what to say to that and I just looked at him and cracked a small smile. "Alex shut the fuck up.", Zane said and as I looked at him, I saw anger in his eyes. "Yeh yeah, chill out man.", Alex said laughing, then he whispered into my ear: "But he really does talk a lot about you." I blushed a little, but I couldn't even comprehend what he said because Zane again almost yelled: "Alex cut it out!" "God damn sorry man.", Alex said but you could feel he didn't mean it. I was starting to take a liking to him. I think we will get along just fine.

After school I picked up Alice and then I went to work. The shift was really slow, and I was just counting down the minutes of when I could finally leave. There were a few costumers who were really rude and those always suck the life out of me. They always make me feel miserable, and even if I explain them everything that they can't do and stuff they just ignore me and want to talk to my manager. That shit just really pisses me off.

After I finally got home, I had some time formyself because my dad wasn't home jet and Aline was doing her homework. Icounted the money that I put away so I could buy some new clothes for me andAlice. There was about 150 dollars, and I was really proud of that. I put about 50 dollars away so I could buy Alice a nice Christmas present in December because our dad obviously never bought any. I was still debating what to buy for her, but I had some time, it was only Oktober. As I looked at the calendar, I saw that it was October 15. That meant there was only a week left till my birthday. I wasn't exactly excited about it because I knew I would probably just watch a movie at home with Maya or Alice and there would be nothing big planned. I didn't really mind but it would have been nice to get a present from my dad for the past 10 years, but he never cared about any of that. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know when me and Alices birthday is. I always try to go big for Alices birthday but sometimes it's hard. Her birthday is in July.
