Chapter 19

Dearest Amelia,

I know I've said thankyou copious times but I still feel like I need to show you my appreciation. Enclosed is a package I think you might like and before you think of returning it look inside.

xo Rinnie.

I smiled as I opened the package I received while at school I knew I shouldn't have told her where I studied. Inside was a girly girls dream, it was filled with MAC makeup, a GHD Hair straightener & curlers and the most beautiful orange sparkly heels. I just stared into the box with my mouth agape.

"What the hell!" Sarah grabbed the box off of me and sifted through the contents eagerly "you honestly got this from corrine? this must have cost her hundreds! We're so lucky"

i laughed making my way over to the kitchen to make a mocha. When i came home after course carrying the big box of goodies Sarah practically tackled me to see what i brought home. looking at her face i couldnt help but smile, she looked like a kid in a candy store.

"I have to return it"

She froze "Excuse me? umm... why?"

"I dont feel right taking all of this from her, we hardly know her well enough to accept this"

"She felt like she owed you meils, now you two are even"

I took a sip of my liquid gold and thought it over

I did need a new hair straightener

"Alright, fine. we'll keep the package but im baking her a key lime pie for her get together, its the least i could do"

Sarah nodded ferociously while running over to me "thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! you wont regret this, im going to make you look gorgeous for the lunch!"

I swallowed a lump in my throat,

what did i get myself into?!

***

The next few weeks flew by quickly. Sarah was still staying at mine, mark was acting weird around me, i decided to let him explain his giant tattoo of my face and he shrugged it off like it was a normal thing to do and jason was spending the majority of his time at his garage.

I shrugged off my coat after my shift at the front door calling out to jason and sarah that im home...

Silence.

I frowned, they are usually home by now. I neared the stairs and heard mumbling from jasons room. I pushed open the door to find jason straddling sarah on the bed. I made a throat clearing noise to get their attention and as they looked up sarah pushed jason off of her gaining a big 'hmph' in the process.

"Uhh... Sare, can i talk to you for a minute?"

She stood dusting off her skirt

"Sure meils, be there in a sec."

Jason watched as i made my way into my room. As my door clicked shut he looked at sarah while chuckling to himself.

"What? why are you laughing? this is so not funny! if you ruin our friendship we're done!"

"Oh c'mon babe she was bound to find out sooner or later"

"Yeah but not like this jase!"

"You're overreacting. she didnt look too bothered plus how could you resist me" he motioned to his abs "im irrisistable"

She scoffed while placing her hand in her hip "yeah ok. well im going to talk to my bestfriend now"

"Hurry back"
