So there was a big party that was going to happen tomorrow hosted by Neel from my math class. Apparently he lives in a super big house and no ones gonna wanna miss it. Parties are fun but sometimes get kind of annoying. I was debating whether I should go because, every year he has one special big bash. So after I got off Twitter and Instagram, I listened to some music trying to sleep. I started getting a direct message on Twitter from someone I didn't know. And it read "you're so fucking ugly!". I got that message from like 2 other girls 2 minutes later.
I didn't know them. All I knew was that they went to Georgia high school. I honestly didn't care because, to be honest .. I like being able to confront a bitch.
**next day***
I woke up at like 10 am and took a shower. My mom was downstairs cooking me up some breakfast. My mom is the chillest mom you will literally meet. If I wanna go to a party, she won't care. But I don't go to parties regularly as other kids so hopefully she understands how amazing I am. So later i got ready for the party. I literally threw on a t-shirt and jeans. I had to pick up some of my friends because they couldn't get a ride. So the first person I had to pick up was jess.
"Hey! So who else are you picking up?" Jess asked as she sat in the back.
"Uhh well Jaden only, he said his mom took his car last minute."I replied. So when I was close to his house , I could see two other people with him. Jess went closer to the window.
"Is that... Tyler and Monica?" She asked.
"Looks like it... What the heck.. He never told me they were coming too.." I said.
I parked beside his house and he walked in.
"Hey thanks for picking us up!" Jaden said. He sat in the front.
"Yeah... Next time.. You should really mention the "us" part!" I said. He laughed. I was waiting for Monica and tyler to get in.
"Yeah I really need to sit in the middle because I have this bad habit of needing to see where were driving and-"
"Yeah it's ok! I actually like the window seats haha!" Monica said as she interrupted jess then sat beside her. Tyler then sat on the left of jess.
"Jess Ur weird!" Tyler said.
"Alright .. Are we finally seated !?" I asked.
"Yeah Brooks! Just drive !" Tyler said.
So the car ride was kind of annoying honestly. Jaden kept playing songs he liked . And in the back ... I couldn't even keep up. Tyler ,Jessica and Monica were having some weird conversations.it mostly consisted of Them fighting about who was gonna win this years basketball finals. I looked to my right and Jaden was dancing and snapchatting. This has got to be the weirdest ride ever.
"No! Lebron isn't even that good!" Monica said to jess.
"He's a beast ok! He's way better than Kobe!" Jess said. I rolled my eyes trying to wish this ride was over.
"Hey guys? Yeah - keep it down.." I said.
"Alex, who do you like better ? Kobe or Lebron ?" Monica asked. Ok one, why were they even talking about basketball in the first place?
"Guys chillax ... Hey you know what if any of you annoy me I'll kick you out the car !" I said. Then they all finally shut up. So we finally got to the house but so many cars were parked. So they made me drop them off then go park somewhere else. Luckily the walk was only 3 minutes away. There were lots of people from SO many different schools. At least 150 people were here....I walked inside and of course , I saw tyler and Jaden riding the big bull. I went and said hi to Neel.
"Hey! Cool party !" I said.
"Hey thanks! Would you excuse me?" He said.
"Hey! Stop pissing in the gold hot tub! It's worth $20,000!" He yelled walking outside. So I went to get a drink. I went upstairs and watched some people play pool. They sucked so bad! I couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, who's laughing?-" this girl said then turned around.
"I'm sorry haha but .. How hard was it to put the ball in ...?" I said then laughed.
"Alright well let's see if you're actually good! " she said. So Annabelle , I think that was her name... Anyways She was on the solid team along with these other people named Alice, Calum and Terra. I was on the stripes team with these other people named Jenna, Ricky and Maverick. So we played at least 2 games.
"Ok who ever loses this round.. Has to jump in the pool wearing tinfoil!" Annabelle said. How stupid did that sound ? I agreed because I am a champ! So In the middle of the game while I was trying to concentrate on which ball to hit someone started talking.
"Who's winning?" He asked.
"Us! Hey Leo!" Annabelle said. Then I turned around.
"Hey Leo, who do you think will win?are you gonna watch them jump in the pool once they lose? Hahaha!" Annabelle said. I gave her a look. "Chill, we only have one more ball than you.. And I don't care what he thinks!" I said then made the shot.
"Honestly I don't know who's gonna win.." Leo said.
"I think you guys will win.." Leo whispered to me.
So when the game started to proceed.
"So Leo, are you going to prom wit anyone yet ?" Annabelle asked. One of my teammates then potted in 2 of the balls.
"Hey , why don't you start putting some foil on ...!" I said. She gave me a dirty look back. Their team needed to put 3 balls in while we had one left which was the 8 ball.
"Well I don't have a date ... And why does our school only allow us to bring people from our school?" Leo asked.
"I don't know but why?"Annabelle asked. Then Maverick made the shot and we won!!!!
"Ha! Fuck you ! We won!!!" I said laughing.
"Get your foil on losers ! Hey come on let's get everyone to watch. They all went downstairs.
"Hey! .."
"Yeah?" Leo said.
"Did you really think we were gonna kick their ass?" I asked. He laughed.
"Yeah..."
"That's interesting to know.. Well.. I'm gonna go watch them jump in.. I can't miss that!" I said then went down.
I went back upstairs and saw Leo sitting on the couch playing chess against some dude.
"You play chess?.... Wow did not expect that from you..!" I said.
"And check mate! Did you expect that from me either ?" He said winking.
"Um.."
"It's all good, it's not everyday you meet a smart guy who's handsome as well!" Leo said.
"Yeah....." I slowly said .
"I'm just kidding , hey so you have your jacket on.. Are you leaving?" He said.
"Umm I'm not sure-" I said then put my phone next to my ear calling jess.
"Well you should stay." Leo said holding my arm down.
"I don't know I have to-"
"Just stay an hour longer." Leo said.
"Hey are you drunk?" I asked.
"Yes and no... I don't get affected as much as other people." He said.
"Haha alright then I'll stay ... Only an hour longer." I said.
"Wanna sit outside on the front patio?" Leo asked. I agreed and we walked out.
We started talking about random shit.
"So when's your prom?" Leo asked.
"When's yours ?" I asked drinking a beer.
"I think it's on the 28th of June" he said.
***annabelle and Terra's pov****
"Hey where's Leo! I wanna talk to him!" Annabelle said. They started looking around.
"I think he's outside with ... Some girl .." terra said.
"Her clothes looked like that girl that we were playing pool against...!" Terra said.
"Alex huh?...., ok I'm gonna go outside !"
**back to alex***
"So do you like anyone? Got a big crush on anyone..?" Leo asked.
"Haha... Why? Expecting me to say someone with dark hair who plays chess as good as a dog?" I said.
"Maybe ..." He said . I laughed.
"Mmm you've got your hopes up!" I said.
"So what unlucky girl do you like?" I asked.
"I don't know... She'd be pretty lucky having me like her!" He said winking, then started staring at me. Eternal flame started playing.
"Has anyone ever told you you were beautiful?" He asked.
"What ? .." I said.
"Haha don't make me say it again, it was hard the first time.."Leo said.
"Then I won't.." I said then kissed him.
"Oh ok I wasn't expecting that but i liked it!" Leo said. I smiled back. Then someone came out .
"Hey! Leo ... My annoying brother ditched me and said to go home with you and I wanna leave now Cuz I feel sick .. Oh ...hey alex..." Annabelle said.
"Oh yeah sure I'll go and start up the car.. See you around alex .." Leo said. I looked up and Annabelle gave me a
Dirty look.
"Dude ! What is your problem?" I asked.
"What's my problem? You! I know you're trying to take him from me!" Annabelle said.
"Hahahha what? You've seriously got everything so messed up!" I said laughing still.
"Do I?" She asked.
"He's the one who asked me to stay longer at the party and talk so chill alright !" I said then walked away back into the house.
"Hey!"
"Oh hey tyler...." I said trying to find jess.
"I haven't seen you all night Brooks.. What were you doing ?"
"nothing ... Anyways gotta scram!" I said.
**tylers pov now**
"Hey man did you see a wallet ? ." Leo asked.
"Umm I don't know I think I saw it in the kitchen .... "
"Oh alright well hey my cousin is friends with you . Well he said there's an outside league for soccer practice tomorrow and He wants you to come!" Leo said.
"Yeah man sure ! It was nice talkin!" Tyler said.
***back to alex****
So I just got in a cab and left. I got back home and felt so tired. I totally forgot what had happened between me and Leo and honestly .. I didn't even think properly in that situation. I guess I got distracted by his really nice eyes ..
Oh shit.. That sounded corny ! So I passed out like 5 minutes later .
**next day **
So I woke up and checked my phone and it was filled with texts from Jessica.
I called her and she started going off about not having a date for prom.
So she came over to my house.
"Hey is your mom home? I really wanted that recipe to those cookies she made the other day !" Jess asked while putting her bag on the couch.
"No she left like 30 min ago for work, Wanna sit in the pool?" I asked.
"Yeah sure!" She replied. So we brought some food and dipped our feet in the water.
"Hey so I'm not sure if anyone's asking me... I was hoping tyler would ask.." Jess said as she ate strawberries. I was hesitating. Whether I should tell her. So I decided to .
"Look I think you should probably go with someone else.. I said. She looked confused.
"Why? You doubt he'll ask me?" She said.
"No... The other day.. I was helping him with his promposal and.."
"He asked you ?!?!?" She asked.
"What ..? No ! ... I asked him who he was gonna ask and he said Monica .. Sorry jess ." I replied slowly sipping my lemonade.
"That bitch..? I mean .. Great well at least I know now to go ask someone else.. Hey who's that boy that you played chess against at the party?" Jess asked.
"What? You mean Leo? " I asked.
"Yeah him! He's pretty cute ... Maybe I'll ask him ..." She said.
"Okay... Well..." I said pausing.
"What? does he have a girlfriend or something?" She asked.
"Not that I know of ...." I said.
"Then great! Hey I'm gonna ask him now! Proms so close so I can't wait! Come one lets go! I think he's at this soccer try out !" Jess said. I was so confused on what to say. I mean ... I guess him and I aren't really anything.
***tylers pov***
On the bleachers.
"Hey man you played really well ! You're probably gonna make the team !" Leo said.
"Yeah but there's like 20 more dudes left to go so they might even be better !" Tyler said. Tyler started scrolling through his instagram feed.
"Hey .. Stop , I think I know that girl!" He said .
"Who alex?.. Yeah she's a friend I guess of mine why do you know her ?" Tyler asked really curiously
"Yeah, I met like a week ago and hung out with her at the party yesterday .. She's really hot!" He said.
"Oh really ...? Wow Umm do you like her?" Tyler asked non chalantly.
"Yeah kinda ... She even kissed me last night.. Not sure though what I am to her.." Leo replied.
"Whoah she kissed you?..... That's .. Interesting...." Tyler said.
***back to alex***
"Oh hey I see them down there!" Jess said.
"Yeah Umm .. I'll wait in the car you go on ahead!" I said .
***at the field**
"Hey jess what are you doin here?" Tyler asked.
"Well since I have NO DATE to prom.... "Jess said glaring at tyler .
"I thought I might ask you ... Leo!" Jess asked.he hesitated .
"Oh .. Uhh I was actually thinking of going with someone else ...." Leo said.
"Oh ! Who?.." Jess asked a little hurt.
"This really amazing girl .. Her names alex.." He responded.
"Wait .... " jess said.
"Yeah ... He means alex .. YOUR FRIEND!" Tyler said .
"Whoah .. She's your friend.. Look I'm sorry." Leo replied.
**back to Alex **
"Hey so did everything go alright .... " I asked.
"Let's just go.." Jess said quietly.well that was weird.
**next day***
So I went to the table and everyone wasn't really saying anything.
"You guys alright ? I asked.. No one said anything.
"What'd I do?".... I asked.
"So .. Were you gonna tell me how close you and Leo were?" Jess said.
"What?.... We're not really close.." I replied eating my apple.
"Dude .... Didn't you make out with him or something? You're saying that's not close?" Tyler said.
"Yeah why didn't you tell me you and him had a thing instead of making me
Ask him to prom and get rejected like an idiot!" Jess said sadly.
"What? No-"
"Alex ..what was the point of lying about that stuff ?" Tyler said.
"I don't know .. What about you ditching Jessica for Monica! Maybe I actually wanted to give her a chance to go with someone ! " I said. He looked mad.
"Yeah why did you all of a sudden ditch me? Jess said to tyler.
"What? No! Okay! I felt bad that she ..was going through a lot ! " Tyler said.
"Yeah fucking right ! You're a liar just as well! Can't believe you two!" Jess said walking away. I was pissed as well.
"Hey thanks ! And by the way I didn't make out with him! It was just one kiss ! Fuck you for ditching her!" I said to tyler .
"Hey! At least I didn't lie about liking Monica and drive my friend 30 miles just to get her rejected! You're an awful friend and person!." Tyler said.
"Yeah so is your girlfriend! I heard she broke up with her boyfriend she's been with for months just for your ass !" I said then left. I went home after that.
I was so annoyed. Then 30 minutes later I hear the door ring.
"Hey... I just wanted to apologize for being an ass..." Tyler said. I crossed my arms.
"K....." I said.
"Well.. Are you gonna forgive me?"
Tyler asked .
"Look Tyler we obviously have our differences and always have things back to normal but I don't think you and I could ever be friends ... It's just gotten to the point where things shouldn't be like this .." I said.
"Alex come on it was just a little disagreement-" Tyler said then I closed the door. I got a knock on the door 15 min later.
"What Tyler !!?"I said as I opened the door midway.
"I'm not Tyler ... But hey!"
"Oh hey Leo !" I replied laughing.
"Hey Alex ... I was wondering if you had a date to prom...?" Leo asked.
"no.. I don't haha... Why?" I asked.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted go go to prom with me!" Leo said as he turned around giving me flowers and having is friends wear shirts that spelled the words "prom?" .
"Yeah sure !"
"One problem.. Our proms are on the same nights so which one should we go to?" Leo asked. I thought about it. I kinda didn't wanna see any of my friends because of how pissed we all were at each other. But at the same time I didn't care!
"You know what ? Let's just go to my prom then go to yours for the other half." I said. He agreed then left. Finally I had a date!
