Are we meant to be? ON HOLD

Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

I was currently rocking myself back and forth in a dark corner of my room. OK so I'm exaggerating. But Joesph was downstairs with Adrian...when did my life get so complicated? And when the heck did my mom get Joesph's phone number? I'll have to ask her about that later. This is not how I saw my eighteenth birthday.

Knock knock.

Oh crap...I got up from my bed and opened the door slowly. Wish I hadn't! There stood an uncomfortable Joesph.

"Hey, um your mom asked me to get you." he scratched the back of his neck and kept his eyes to the floor. Seriously whats up with him? He's not the same guy that has all the ladies heart melting, this Joesph is shy and sensitive and not confident at all.

"OK. Thanks."

"OK see you down there." That's it! I need to stop this awkwardness.

"Seriously what the hell is up with you? Ever since the party the other day you've been acting weird."

"Sorry that I'm not very happy that I got rejected." Oh...that.

"I'm sorry about that, but I didn't exactly rejecet you I have a boyfriend who I'm very happy with."

"Keep telling yourself that." he turned around about to leave but hell no was I about to end the conversation there. I yanked on his arm and closed the door to my room.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"It means your not happy at all with Adrian. He's a good guy but I know you."

"The hell you do! You've known me for five seconds don't act like you know me because guess what honey you don't! As for Adrian he's a lot better than you and I'm beyond happy with him." I was furious. I mean seriously this guy barely knows two things about me and he's telling me who to date. Yeah...not gonna happen.

"Nicole, I've known you since you came to Reef High."

"Yeah you've know of me. That doesn't mean you have all the answers to all my unsolved questions."

"This conversation took a turn I didn't expect. I'll leave now."

"Yeah good idea." I sighed and opened the door for him. "It's probably best you don't stay for the party."

"I spent a good two hours on this party so no I'm not going to leave." With that he went downstairs leaving me wanting to rip him to sheds!

Well I still needed to pick an outfit to wear for my party. I searched in my walk-in closet and found the perfect dress. It was a glittery gray dress with black pumps to match. I decided to leave my hair and makeup natrual.

*Party Time*

My party was a full blown hit! My mom had left to go to work so yes there was alcohol. Mom how many times do I have to tell you not to leave teenagers alone in a house. I ain't even mad! PARTY!

I was currently wasted out of my mind grinding on my sexy boyfriend. I get dirty when I'm drunk, but hey its my 18th birthday I got to enjoy it.

"Babe I think you've had a little bit to much to drink." He was right but I wasn't in the best thinking mode so I kept sipping on my beer.

"Can you help me find a closet babe? I need to see if Narnia is really there."

He looked at me confused, "uh babe let me put you to bed." He carried me all the way to my room and set me down on my bed carefully.

"Sleep well babe, and happy birthday." With that he gave me a tender kiss on my forehead and set down on my night stand a tiny box. I was curious to see what it was but I was to sleepy to move or even open my eyes.

*Next Morning*

Damn my head seriously hurt. What the hell happened last night? I remembered a big blob of last night. I tried getting up but my body wasn't cooperating. I turned my head towards my night stand and saw a little box laying there. The curiosity got the best of me and I quickly grabbed the box.

Once I opened it I instantly knew who it was from. It was charm bracelet with a coffee cup, books, a heart, the one direction symbol and the letter A. It was from Adrian since we had our first "date" at the coffee shop, we were lab partners, he "loved" me, he knew about m obsession with one direction, and the A for Adrian obviously. How thoughtful. Before I could think anymore I loud bang on my window startled me.

I got up from my bed slowly having this massive hangover isn't helping. How can someone bang my window when it's on the second floor? I glanced and saw Joesph with a pebble in his hand. Great...

I walked downstairs and went outside to where he was standing.

"Why the hell are you throwing pebbles at my window this early in the morning?" It wouldn't be ok at anytime.

"Nikki it's noon..."

"Oh..well whatever what do you want?"

"I wanted to apologize for the argument we had yesterday."

"Thanks, I guess." The jock apologizing? Weird...

"So friends?" He locked gazes with me and I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Y-yes." No! No stuttering!

"Great because there's this really cool party today at the lake. You wanna come?"

"Can Adrian come?"

He hesitated for a moment but quickly nodded his head. "I'll text you the details."

Another party. I don't think I can handle this. Curse you weekends!
