"Hey Alex, are you going to the Halloween dance?" I asked as I sat on my bed painting my toe nails bright red.
The Halloween dance was the first dance the school had so it was a big one but the best too because you don't need a date- and you get to dress up.
'Why you asking me out?" he asked as he lay on his bed fiddling with his Ipod.
"You wish babe." I grinned sticking my tong out at him.
He just rolled his eyes. Sometimes he's way to mature and other times he's way to immature- he's 17 for crying out loud!
I pressed play on the stereo remote and Hollaback Boy came on by Cobra Starship- I love them and it's a funny song.
"Yes Sappy I'm going to the dance. What are you dressing up as?" he asked warily.
"A vampire, I got some plastic fangs, a cape and got the whole 'I Vant To Suck Your Blood' thing down." I laughed.
"Funny I can believe you would actually be that suicidal." Alex smirked.
"So you gonna dress up as a clown?" I snickered.
The next thing I knew he attacked me with a pillow! He hit me over the head with it and I painted my whole toe red!
I giggled and held up my nail brush- dripping with red nail varnish.
"I can paint your nose red." I taunted.
"Not funny!" he growled playfully and hit my head with the pillow again.
I pushed the brush into his face but he dropped the pillow and tried to put his hands up to protect himself. I got some on his face and his hands before he pushed me backwards. I fell of the side of my bed and Alex laughed and held the bottle of nail varnish over me.
"You wouldn't."
"Oh I think I would Saph." He grinned.
Cold wet red liquid soaked into my white t-shirt and I screamed- I liked this shirt! Alex was laughing when Dylan and Will came into the room. I stood up and whined at Alex for ruining my shirt even thought he wasn't listening because he was laughing so hard.
Dylan and Will toke one look at us both covered in red nail varnish and started to crack up too.
"We were just wondering if you both wanted Chinese or Indian?" Will asked.
"What happened to pizza?" I whined.
"We decided we need a change." Dylan shrugged.
"I'll have Chinese noodles." I smiled.
"I don't care, whatever." Alex answered from behind me.
Dylan and Will looked at me and smiled.
"What?" I asked.
I turned to look at Alex and got a pillow in my face.
"I win." Alex grinned getting out of my way.
"Dude you're covered in red nail varnish-" Will smirked, but Alex cut him off by throwing the pillow at him.
"Yeah I thing Sappy wins." Dylan laughed and ran out the room with Will just behind him.
Alex walked into the bathroom- probably to try and get the nail varnish off- so I grabbed the bottle of nail varnish remover from my nightstand and walked to the bathroom door.
"I think you'll need this." I noted as he clawed at varnish on his hand.
He spun round and grabbed the bottle from me. I rolled my eyes and walked up to the sink and toke some toilet roll and wrapped it round my hand half a dozen times and toke the bottle off Alex. I unscrewed the cap and held the toilet roll over the top and tipped it until it soaked into it.
"Here." I sighed handing it Alex.
He looked surprised, I sighed and rolled my eyes before holding the wet tissue to his face and started wiping the nail varnish off. He looked down at me and I hadn't realized his face was so close to mine, we were only inches apart and I could smell his breath as it caressed my cheeks. He smelt really good I couldn't believe I never noticed it before- even through the strong sent of the nail varnish remover- like a summer meadow.
I finished cleaning the red from his face and handed him the wet towel to do his hands.
"Thanks." He said quietly.
"Don't mention it, your buy me a new t-shirt." I smiled and skipped out and into my wardrobe.
I changed into a cream tank top and pulled on a purple hoody. I walked back out and threw my ruined t-shirt in the bin before skipping into the den and plopping on the couch between Wil and Dylan.
"What are you playing?" I asked leaning back.
"Need For Speed." They answered in unison.
I rolled my eyes and watched them race until they finished and plugged in the other two X-box controllers.
"Hey Alex come play Need For Speed with us!" I yelled and plopped back on the couch.
"So you're feeling better then?" I asked Dylan.
"Yeah I didn't have it so bad, I'm good now." He nodded.
It didn't take Alex long to emerge and join in with the game, surprisingly I was pretty good but all Alex kept on doing was ramming my car out of the way!
In the end the game kinda dragged on for me because I wasn't winning so I quit and watched the guys play.
The door opened with a strong Indian and Chinese food smell.
"You ordered both?" I asked Dylan while I helped Jason with the boxes.
"We couldn't decide." Dylan explained without taking his eyes from the TV.
I put the boxes on the coffee table in front of the couch while Jason got the cans of coca-cola from the kitchen.
The door opened again and Kevin and Megan came in.
"Hey just in time, Jason just brought up food." I noted with a smile at Megan- who I know Kev has been trying to avoid us meeting.
"Umm yeah guys do you mind if Megan hangs out with us tonight?" he asked hesitantly while Megan hung onto his arm like a toddler refusing to go to school.
Will, Dylan and Alex paused the game immediately and turned their full attention to Megan.
"Nope." "Not at all." "Of course not." They all smiled at Megan without blinking or looking away.
Kev sighed but they persisted to be weird and make Megan squirm next to Kev. I got up and walked over to them.
"Don't worry their usually this weird but you'll get use to it. Their making you feel uncomfortable because Kev refused to let them meet you sooner because, in his words 'You're a bunch of idiots and I don't want you freaking her out'." I smiled.
"Thanks Saph." Kev glared.
