Moonlight | Conrad Fisher

Chapter 44 "Boardwalk."

We were now on our way to the boardwalk. It took some time to get Conrad on the idea of it, and a lot of complaining. It was also the perfect opportunity to bring Skye, even though they didn't even want to tang along in the first place.

It's a good place to just chill out for a day, like a stress free zone without having to worry about the house or relationships. I was in my room, on FaceTime with my best friend Katherine while getting ready for the Boardwalk. They gave me a time limit of only an hour. Which was rude might I add.

"I mean things have been a tad bit, off. And that's been between everyone not only me and Conrad might I add. Jayden's still hung up on Belly and it's so visible. I don't even know why they broke off in the first place. He did take her to prom and shit. I literally can't even bring myself to think about it to be honest."

I rambled on as I could hear Kath laughing over the phone. My hair was my natural, pin straight as I pulled the two front pieces back with a clip. My lashes were done and I was doing my contour now, by the vanity that Susannah had bought for my room when I turned fifteen. In her eyes every girl should have one to experience the real deal, as she called it.

"That's actually great to hear. I mean by the way you and Conrad left things off I'd say that you'd be throwing fights every time you say each other. And stop being so weird about Jayden and Belly. They're meant to be, anyone could see that so suck it up." Kath gave ma a lesson over the phone as I dramatically gaped at her through the camera.

"I am not weird about it. Just stating facts, I want to know how things are between them. They're definitely have their moments, if they haven't already. And I also feel like a tad bit bad for Jere. Because he's this perfect little thing waiting for her to come crawling to him, and everyone knows that no one ever wants the perfect thing. There's no catch."

"Hey, don't say that. Me and Nick are absolutely great and perfectly so. But, when we're already talking about moments. Have you and Conrad had some? I mean you must've."

I put the brush down while grabbing the setting spray. Me and Kath have been friends for a long time. High school was our peak, we became best friends then and even so, we started in the same college by default. We didn't even know that we put the same school as our top 1. That was supposed to be a surprise for the other, but it all worked out because we got to still be with each other.

"I mean yea, kind of. There was this one time at the beach. And we've been kind of walking around eggshells with each other. I'm still not sure if I'm ready to just forgive and forget everything, but I can't stay mad at him. Him mom died, like she was my best friend too. I can't even think about how he must be feeling. So I can't blame him, but yeah, we've had our little moments here and there. Nothing serious though."

Katherine gave a knowing look through the phone as I finished up my make up and rolled my eyes playfully at hers. "Look, have fun, and you're going to tell me everything when you get home because I want to know about these moments. And no one says that you should just forget, but that doesn't mean you can't forgive him. Maybe a second chance will work best for you guys-"

I didn't let her finish as I rolled my eyes with a smile and cut her off. "Bye Kath. Love you and I'll talk to you when I get home. Stop trying to make us a thing again."

She laughed before blowing me a kiss over the screen. "Love you too, Nina. And I'm not trying, just saying."

"Bye, Kath." I hung up the phone and practically ran down the stairs with my purse and on my shoulder and a pair of flat sandals that Susannah bought me in my hands.

My sunglasses were on the top of my head as I felt good about how I looked. Today was an all good day, my hair, my makeup and my clothes. I was in a better mood already. As everyone was outside beside the cars, we started diving ourselves in groups.
