The Ordinary Girl

Chapter 9

So finally everyone started arriving to class and I wasn't alone. Science class proceeded as usual. Mr crawl was just on his phone eating McDonald's not teaching us shit. Honestly didn't really care cause i knew basically everything .
"Hey do you know this guy named Chris?" I asked Jake. Tyler then brought a chair to our table and started talking with us.
"Chris who ? Haha you gotta give us last names, there's probably like 20 dudes named Chris." Tyler said.
"okay then... Well I'm not you Tyler, I'm not a stalker who knows everyone's last name." I replied. Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Ok well what does he look like?" Jake asked.
"Um I think his hairs like brown. He's like as tall as you guys. And I think he had this jersey in his bag that was for a team called the TIGERS." Jake and tyler looked at each other. Then 10 seconds later..
"Oh shit I think you're talking about Chris Andre , haha!" Jake replied.
"Man I hate Chris! Haha!!" Tyler said laughing. I was so confused!
"What's- why are you guys laughing?" I asked. They still couldn't stop laughing. Finally after 5 minutes they kind of stopped.
"Okay so me and Jake are both on the same football team out of school Right, and Chris well we were playing against their team." Tyler said.
"And so, their coach was always being a complete prick to ours so we basically came up with this prank to do to their team at the end of a game!" Jake laughed! I honestly didn't know where this story was gonna go!
"So at the end of the game, we got honey and started pouring it on the other team and threw feathers on them." Tyler explained. This was starting to sound like some cliche stuff they put on tv.
"Then we found this huge sumo wrestler to sit on one of the team members and ....." Jake didn't finish and started laughing.
"Okay, seriously finish the story!" I said annoyed.
"Hahahahh then... Then .. Haha.. Ok then Chris was the one that got smushed on by the sumo wrestler haha and then he almost cried because he couldn't breathe! It was Frikken funny!" Tyler laughed. That seemed kinda mean. Then Jake and Tyler continued to laugh.
"That's pretty rude if yah ask me .. What did he ever do to you?" I asked.
"Nothing ! Haha we didn't plan to have Chris smushed ! He was the closest one to the wrestler, luckily he doesn't know me and Tyler came up with the idea." Jake replied.
"you guys are idiots haha!" I said.The bell rang.
"Alright see u guys in the cafeteria!" Jake said. Me and Tyler were still packing up and had to stay behind to make up for our last detention day. Then Chris walked in.
"Hey mr.crawl, is it ok if I take my test today?" Chris asked.
"Um how bout I just pass you if you help those two other students clean up , u can clean up on the side you choose to because I'm going to get lunch right now at McDonald's!" Mr.Crawl replied.
Chris started putting his bags down .
"Uh hey do either of you want me to help clean up a side with you-"
"Nah man I'm good." Tyler said with his back turned around.
"What about-"
"Chris ?" I said turning around. Chris walked towards me.
"Heyy, what are you doing here?"
"Haha um instead of going to dentition mr . Crawl just let me clean up the science lab for like 10 minutes and luckily it's the last day." I replied. Chris smiled.
"What? Haha " I asked.
"Haha so Umm ... Let's get to cleaning." Chris said. So we all pretty much were done. I was packing up my bag.
"Um hey alex, are you and jake dating?" Chris asked.
"Uh , no why?" I replied.
"Umm, is it okay if I can maybe get your number so we can text cause I'd really like to be friends and get to know you." Chris asked.
"Haha yeah sure." I said while writing it down. He left and said bye. So then I went to the caff to meet up with the rest of the weirdos. I got to the table and jake, jess and Tyler were only there.
"Hey alex, what was Chris asking you?" Tyler asked.
"Someones curious... But all he asked was for my number , that's all nothing big." I replied eating a French fry.
"Yo I'm guessing he likes you but seriously you shouldn't associate or talk to him." Jake said. Me being confused as always asked why.
"who even is Chris ?" Jessica asked.
"Look the dude is just ... Tyler help me out here." Jake said.
"The dude doesn't even like me and jake, and you know what they say, you should never ...get involved ...or talk to people that your friends don't like." Tyler said.
"But I'm not your friend.." I replied.
"Well you're his friend!" Tyler said to me pointing at Jake. I was so confused.
"Look jake your not even dating alex so why should you have any say in whether she should hang out with Chris."
"Yeah jess but me and her are still friends and I don't like Chris you see how those things could cause problems-" Jake said.
"Tyler why do you even care, you should be happy and not think about annoying dudes cause we're basically dating." Jessica said. A long pause happened. Tyler's face didn't seem to agree. Jessica looked up.
"What? ....are we not- you know what I'm outta here , you didn't even fuqing prompose to me yet !" Jessica said looking like she was gonna cry and stormed away.
"Wait Jess!!!!!!!- shit! " Tyler yelled.
"well you seem to always fuq shit up haha!" I replied . Tyler looked at me.
"Don't even alex .."
"Yeah that's another thing I wanted to ask.. How come you never promposed or even asked jess to prom?" I asked sipping my drink.
"Oh yeah why not ?" Jake said. Tyler looked away.
"Well. .. Proms like in two months only and...." Tyler hesitated. He seemed like he was hiding something.
"Ok Jake have you even promposed to anyone?!" Tyler asked looking stressed.
"Well, no but since me and Alex are going together for semi I already figured she'd wanna go to prom-"
"Hold up , i know I might seem like a bitch saying this but, I'd only go with someone who actually promposed to me!" I said.
"Yeah thanks for letting me know this late.." Jake replied.
"Yeah well I gotta get outta here, I needa fix some stuff ..." Tyler said.
"Whoah hold up you never really answered my question!" I said to Tyler. I mean this kid is just straight up Keeping things from us.
"I just feel like she's ... She's maybe not the person I wanna go with, I think I like someone else kay I'm outta here !" Tyler said walking away.
"So I guess we both know what's gonna happen.." Jake said.
"Yup.... He's gonna ask SarAh... So much for me convincing jess that Tyler likes her." I said . I feel kinda bad for Jess. She only had eyes for one guy her whole life and it turns out he doesn't even like her. 
"Hey jake ... How would you feel if another guy asked me to prom because I -"
"Yeah if it makes you happy then I won't mind because , we're just great friends !" Jake smiled. Well I'm glad he's not the super attached Type of person.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow at semi formal!" I said and left. Semi formal was apparently gonna be by the beach but in a building though. I was still confused whether jess and Tyler were gonna be there because of that little incident that happened earlier today.
So I got home and my mom had left me a bunch of chores to do. You know I thought I'd maybe get to replace at the one place I can but no... I have to do a bunch of stuff. So I had to pick up some groceries and I saw Tyler.
"Hey, so I don't know what I'm gonna do cause I feel like Jessica doesn't wanna talk to me and semis tomorrow night ." Tyler said.
"Well you know maybe you should talk to her! You haven't done SHIT to try and fix things! You need to actually give a shit about her, you know she's one of your best friends!" I ranted. He hesitated.
"Ok , yea ill talk to her , hopefully she'll go with me!" Tyler said.
"Yeah well If you'll excuse me, I gotta pick up some milk and bread." I said while locking my car doors.
"Hey , alex I really wanted to say this to you just so you should know... So ,when you buy the bread and milk Make sure it's not expired.."
"Shut up haha fuq outta here!" I said. So when I got home all I was doing was staring at the dress. I've never really been to school dance events because I've never been to high school before as we all know by now. I was starting to regret having to go. Like, all you do is dance.. I mean I dance in the shower all the time so why would I need to dance more.
*Tyler and Jessica's perspective now **
"Hey so I'm sorry I didn't try fixing anything. You and I are going to semi tomorrow right?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah but what about prom... You never promposed to me..." Jessica asked.
"Well maybe because I'm waiting ..... But that doesn't matter , I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6pm!" Tyler said walking to is car.
***back to Alex's perspective***
So later that night Chris called.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Uh actually nothing really, I just finished a bunch of chores my mom left me with, why what about you?" I asked.
"Um well it's a Friday night so I'm actually at a party that Mike just threw at a last minute." Chris said
"Oh yeah Mike invited me but I totally forgot." I replied.
"Why don't you come, everyone at our school is basically here for a end of the year party..." Chris asked.  I hesitated because something wrong always happens when I try getting home from parties.
"Come on... It'll be fun , there's a mechanical bull alex." Chris said.
"Okay fine I'll go haha, I'll be there in 15 min bye!" I said. I literally just put on the first couple things I found in my closet. So I had on a crop top, and some skinny jeans. I still can't believe I forgot about the party because now I basically missed half of it.
**alex gets to the party***
So I started walking.
"Alex!!!!'" Ashley and Katie yelled . I walked over to them.
"Hey !!!!! You're finally here!!!" Katie said. This party had so many people here I couldn't even find one person I knew.
"Hey so I think jess and Tyler finally solved things through, they're at the hot tub." Ashley told.
"Ugh finally they fixed their shit, you know it's been pretty annoying having to sit through their problems but anyways I'm gonna get a drink and say hi to Mike." I said walking off. Then some dude turned me around.
"Hey ! Chris what's up?"I said as I hugged him.
"Nothing much just hanging out with a couple friends , oh um there's some people starting at you from the Hot tub.." Chris pointed. I looked back and it was my friends. So I walked over to them.
"Hey what's up?" I asked.
"Just chillin in the tub talkin and stuff, here come in!" Jessica said. I mean I would but I didn't bring any swimwear.
"Um you know I would but I didn't bring any swim wear so I think I'm just gonna go talk to like Chris or someone."
"Here I brought an extra one now go get changed." Jess said. I really just wanted her to be happy so I did. So I got in.
"Nice swim suit Brooks, you look good, for a loser " Tyler said. I gave him a "you serious look".
"Haha yeah I'm sure you do." I said.
"Nah it's true , you do look good." Jaden said. Um this was just weird.
"Umm... Hey how bout we stop talking about how hot alex looks in that bikini because I'm sure she feels just as awkward as me.." Jessica said.
"Yeah yeah alright so um do you guys wanna all go to semi in a car together. Tyler asked.
"Yeah Sure I'm down." Jaden said.
"Umm I don't think so because I take long to get ready and I don't wanna waste every ones time-" jess said
"Ok fine then, we'll all just have to go in separate cars since ms princess over there takes forever. So 30 min later I was heading back in the house to change. Some people were already passed out and it was only 11:00.
"Hey alex, come over here !" Chris said. I seriously needed to change but I guess getting some stuff over with was just needed. I walked over and Chris was with two guys.
"Hii!" I waved .
"Yeah uh alex these are my buddies Tom and Matt." Chris told. They started smiling at me.
"So .. You really are friends with Chris, like you guys actually talk and know eachother?" Matt asked. I paused for like 5 seconds staring back at Chris.
"Umm yeah we met like a couple days ago and ... Things just went from there"
"Well we'll leave you two alone , it was nice meeting you alex!" Tom said walking away with Matt. Well this just took a weird turn.
"Your friends are nice!" I said.
"Yeah , they are .." Chris said. There was an awkward 12 second silence between us.
"Oh ! Yeah Umm sorry that I'm in this ..Bikini just standing in front of you, I'm actually about to change." I said looking for my bag.
"Uh haha nah it's all good, I don't mind." Chris said .
"Haha." I said smiling. So later that night Mikes mom came back home so everyone had to leave.but I was one of the 10 people that helped him clean up all his shit. Then on the corner someone grabbed my arm.
"Hey, what are you doing everyone's running why aren't you ?" Tyler asked.
I looked back in the kitchen .
"Cause, I don't wanna leave him to clean up all your guys's shit! You know im not an asshole like you right." I replied. Tyler looked at me.
"Ok well how are you gonna get home now !?" He asked .
"Cause me Jaden and jess are gonna leave now !" Tyler said. I started thinking
"You know what, I'll just walk home, it's only a 39 minute walk.." I replied picking up empty cans.
"Yeah but at 12 am- ok never mind!" Tyler said and walked off. I mean, I felt kinda bad Mikes mom made him clean up all the mess people made. Then again a couple other people helped out so that was good. So we were almost finished. The place looked good as new.
"Hey, thanks Brooks !" Mike said .
"No prob alright I gotta go !" I replied. It was really dark out.out of no where Tyler popped up.
"Uhm what are you still doing here ? Thought you left." I asked .
"Well, I told them to go off without me." He replied.
"So you waited for .. Me?" I asked.
"Wha- noooo .. Nope I um actually helped Mike clean the backyard." Tyler replied . I smiled back.
"What ?" Tyler asked. I looked back at him.
"Nothing , nothingggg it's just that , 15 min ago you seemed like you wanted to leave ." I replied.
"Yeah but , I decided to just help clean you know , cause I'm nice ..." Tyler said. He smiled as if he just said the stupidest thing ever.
"Alright well I'm walking home now so yeah." Tyler said and left. I mean , I'm not gonna walk alone . So I ran after him.
"Um did I ask you to follow me ?"
"Relax, my house is literally 1 minute away from yours!" I replied as I walked.
"Haha ok then ." Tyler said. So we walked maybe 5 minutes without talking and It got a little awkward. So I started asking him stuff.
"Hey so your takin Jessica to semi, how long have you guys known each other ?" I asked .
"Haha Umm a real long time. Yeah she's, great and pretty and .. Just overall a wonderful person." Tyler replied.
"That's nice, Jessica was the first person to talk to me and she was so welcoming to me ." I replied smiling. He nodded agreeing. We continued talking for a long time.
"You know , I used to think that, Santa was the one getting me all my gifts and shit untilllll i realized that my house didn't have a chimney..." I said.
"Well I thought the tooth fairy was real so I started buying fake teeth to put under my pillow just to get money !" Tyler replied.
"Haha. Let me guess, you were the richest 4 year old ever." I said.  He laughed. We kept walking .. And walking. So I started making more conversation to get to know him more.
"What's your favourite colour?" I asked.
"I thought I might have told you but it's blue, I mean everyone's favourite colour is blue." Tyler replied.
"Mines actually Teal" I replied.
"Yeah that's basically the same thing?! Tyler said !
"Maybe .. But still different." I replied.
"You're..... Different . You know it's hard to meet someone who's not like every single girl."Tyler said. I smiled.
"Well Umm thanks." I replied.
"Yeah, you're really different, you're pretty annoying and weird.!" Tyler said.
"Awh Shut up!! I thought you were actually saying something nice to me cause you seem to never do.!" I replied. We were then 1 mile away from our houses.
"So, did your boyfriend ask you to prom because the diva you are, wants someone to prompose?" Tyler asked.
"He's not my boyfriend for the 10th time, and nope!" I replied.  There was another pause.
"Hey yeah that reminds me! We all know who you like, it's pretty obvious at this point,why aren't you making your move and asking her to prom already?!" I asked!
"... What do you mean? Who are you talking About?" Tyler asked. I literally was annoyed at this point. It's just so obvious!
"Well, it's SarAh right , I mean, you're kinda my friend and I think you should be able to have happiness taking the girl you want to prom!" I said. I couldn't tell whether I was right or wrong by the look on his face.
"Haha Umm I'll take that advice and see what I should do with it." Tyler said. Tyler had some beers in the cooler he was walking with. We drank at least 9.
"What about you, who do you wanna go with?" Tyler asked. I thought about this question.
"Um I dunno, i barley know anyone so .. I don't know maybe anyone. If Jake asked me id say yes, if Chris asked me i for sure would say yes! Heck, I'd even say yes to you! Haha!" I replied. And immediately just froze.
"Do you like me or something?" Tyler replied. I looked back at him and started laughing.
"What? Look, I'm like half asleep and drunk at the same time, I'm just saying the craziest stuff now." I said .
"Nah actually when your drunk everything people say is their actual thought."
"Aright well see you tomorrow Brooks, you might wanna chill from all that beer.." Tyler said .
"Yeah okay." I said as I closed my door.
I felt so wasted. I could handle myself but at the same time I felt like I was being spun in a chair over and over again. As I looked out my window I saw Tyler and SarAh. Guess he was gonna make his move on her? As much as I cared , I fell asleep pretty fast.
