A Wish Upon A Star

Chapter 6: Change Of Plans

Nikki's P.O.V.

Things are NOT going as planned today. Nothing ever goes as planned if I'm involved. Why did I Make that stupid wish?

***

I heard yelling. This can't be good. That is the first thing that I thought when I woke up. I opened my eyes to find Drew and Drake yelling at each other, nose-to-nose. Drake's not supposed to see Drew. This is gonna be so bad. He's gonna think I'm cheating on him. No. Why does nothing ever go as planned? I looked over at the clock. It was 10:57. I stopped thinking long enough to hear what they were saying.

"Tell me, little boy, what you're doing with my girlfriend in my house." Drake yelled. He didn't actually look hurt or jealous or even shocked, he just looked genuinely...mad. Drew replied, less loudly,

"Shutup. You're going to wake her up. The reason I am here is to pick her up for her parents. They told me to pick her up because she needs to go somewhere." I knew that was a lie. He's highly trained. I guess, they trained him to lie like this. I don't know.

"Then, why did you sneak in and sleep over? Why is that?" I just sat quietly and watched. I'm taking in every word they say as if my life depends on it.

"Nobody was awake, so I let myself in. I guess, I just fell asleep on accident. She's not cheating on you, dude. She's not like that." He is right. I would never cheat on any guy for whatever reason, I would not stoop that low. 

"Well, listen here, she's mine, so get out and leave her alone." That's a bit mean.

"No, I will not leave her alone. I was supposed to come and get her for her parents." Drew is very stubborn. 

"Well, still leave. I can take her to her parents myself." Drake is very stubborn also.

"Dude. Her parents orders. I'm not leaving without her." How do they not see that I'm awake? 

"Well, who cares about her parents? Why do you care about her anyways? The only reason I see that you would care is if she was cheating on me with you." I AM NOT A CHEATER!

"She isn't a cheater. She isn't like that at all. She may be beautiful and smart, but she wouldn't do that!" That was very sweet of him. 

"Well, how do you know? I've never seen you around much less with her. She's not all that smart, she's actually very dumb." What is that supposed to mean? You're not supposed to call your girlfriend dumb. Right now, Drake is being a jerk.

"I'm a friend of her parents and how could you say your girlfriend is dumb? She's very smart. I've known her parents for a while and they speak very highly of her. Don't ever say she is dumb. I know she isn't." At least, somebody is sticking up for me. I'm mentally thanking Drew right now.

"Whatever, you say." Drake rolled his eyes.

"Why are you being such a jerk? Don't you see she loves you? Shouldn't you love her back?"

Drake laughed. "You think I love her? You've got it all wrong. I don't love her, I just date her because I feel sorry for her. She's not exactly the prettiest girl in school and she's a nerd." How can he say that? I've been heartbroken once before and I don't want another one. I know I'm not the prettiest girl in school, but it doesn't matter how you look. All that matters is how you feel. I know I'm a nerd and I'm proud of it. Boy, am I mad. Drew looks angry. He's glaring at Drake amd Drake's just standing there, smiling. That jerk.

I stood up. They still haven't seen me. They must be blind. I walked right behind Drake. Drew saw me and his eyes went wide. At least he knows I'm awake now. I cleared my throat and Drake turned around. When he saw me, his eyes went wide just like Drew's did.
