The day went by a blur, i spent the day locked up in my room listening to music and writing in my journal. It's already 8pm, i usually go take a shower but i decided on going for a walk. I need to clear my head. As i head downstairs i see Amber cleaning the house sweat dripping off her forhead.
-Need help *i ask her standing on the last step of the stairs*
-Nope *Amber smiles weakly at me*
-Im going for a walk, i need some fresh air, ill be back at 9pm *i say loudly as i put on my sneakers*
-Is everything okay? You never go for walks *Amber says worried as she stands up*
-Everythings fine, dont worry *says calmly as i walk out the front door*
The cool Autumn air is cold, but its refresing. I smile as the wind carreses my hair. This feels good just walking alone with my playlist playing in my ears, the air cold and refresing.
I see a few cars pass by, but one particular car catches my eye. Is that?..
Yup thats deffinetly Ava parked by a park near my house, what the heck is she doing here, shouldnt she be home?
Ill just go the opposite way. Fuck. Did she see me. Just walk, pretend you didnt see her. I can feel her watching me as walk the other way, then i hear her car door slam shut, i turn quickly to see that shes running up to me. Theres no escaping is there?
-Hey Vannesa! *Ava says loudly as she reaches me panting, trying to catch her breath*
-Hey *i say quietly turning to look at her*
-Can we talk, please? *Ava says still panting and motions to the bench in the park*
I wait for a moment before answering.
-Yeah.. okay.
We walk to the bench and Ava sits down next to me, turning her body so shes facing me completely.
-Are you mad at me for assuming that? *She asks calmly afraid of my response*
-It just caught me off guard, and it kinda hurt that you thought that, but its fine. * i sigh looking directly at her*
-I just wanted to say sorry for assuming that, i didnt know it would hurt you, i know we just started being friends and i like being your friend, gosh im talking too much arent i? *Ava chuckles and smiles to herself*
I cant help but chuckle with her.
-Dont worry about it, im not mad at you. Now, why the fuck are you alone sitting in your car next to the park? *I ask curiously*
-I just came back from Damons house and wanted to see you and apologize so i decided to just wait and see if you would go somewhere, i didnt want to disturb you *Ava smiles as she raises her eyes to my lips*
My breath hiches as she stares at me, her eyes are the prettiest shade of blue. I nod as she speaks.
-You should get home its late Ava *I say calmly as i accidentally touch her hand, the touch sending shivers down my spine, like electricity.
-I will, will you be at school tommorow? *Ava asks*
I simply just nod and smile.
----------------------
The sun shines through my window, i get up from bed and streach my arms out. I slept well, when i got back home yesterday Amber was already asleep in her room. I get ready for the day and i hear Ambers footsteps coming to my room to tell me to wake up but im already ready to go, as Amber opens the door im standing with my backpack finishing brushing my hair.
-Looks whos up early. *Amber giggles*
Who are you and what did you do to my sister. *Amber jokes around* Want me to drive you or are you dirving yourself today?
-You can drive me. *I say confidently*
Amber looks at me for a moment and then smiles.
-------------------
At school i go to my locker and put away some books that i dont need at the moment and put on my headphones to tune out the world around me and just play some of my favourite songs. I see Ava out of a corner of my eye laughing with Damon and Luke. A week ago i would have thought of her as a dumb crack head with gay friends. But now shes my friend. I smile to myself as i think that.
I hear Damon mimicking some girls voice and they all laugh. Should i go say hi to Ava or should i not?
Ill just head to the rooftop, once im on the roof top i sit on the ledge and take out a ciggarete lighting it and putting it to my lips, the next second i can feel someone slapping the ciggarete from my hand. You got to be fucking joking. I turn around and see Ava frowning at me.
-You know those are fucking expensive. *I say calmly trying not to sound too angry*
-Then stop wasting your money on them *Ava sits next to me and smiles at me*
Call me your savior *Ava winks* Does your sister know you smoke?
-No she doesnt and im not planning on telling her, so please dont tell her. *i plead*
-I wont tell her if you promise me to stop smoking. *Ava says confidentally* Please?..
-Its not an easy thing to do. *I answer rather coldly*
-Lets make a deal, you come to me or call me whenever you feel like smoking or having a rough time, i will come to you aswell if im having a rough time. And i wont tell your sister that you smoke or now lets say smoked *Ava smiles proudly*
-Fine.. *i mumble* Is it just an excuse to hang out with me more hm? *i wink teasingly*
-Maybe *Ava smirks and stands up grabbing my hand and lifting me up*
-And you are deffinetly not skipping class *Ava says in a serious tone*
*i roll my eyes playfully and then smile when i see Ava laughing*
