To all the patient people reading this! I just want to thank you so much for staying with me! This story is basically on the edge of loserness and will have a lot of holes and blunders. Give me feedback and I will love you forever!!!
We had already finished having brunch with the new crew. That included me, Chase, Adrianna, Brooke, and the twins. No Adam or Nick. I had the feeling that Nick was avoiding me ever since the bonfire scene. I hadn't really made an effort to get in touch with him and I felt a little bad. Keyword, a little. He was being such a wuss, really. Most guys would try to talk to me if I kissed them. A kiss from me was like getting a Grammy. Didn't happen often, and was only rewarded to the best.
"So Cecelia, you should go to the boardwalk with us tonight!" Brooke squealed. I was snapped out of my thoughts, and I looked up at her.
"What's a boardwalk? Is it like monopoly?" I asked.
Everybody's jaws dropped.
"Are you serious right now? Oh my gosh, Cecelia! You don't know what a boardwalk is?" Brooke gasped.
"Well, considering I've never lived in Benton, I don't know what a boardwalk is," I retorted, a slight tinge of annoyance seeping into my tone.
Uh-oh. Here comes the bitchy side of me.
"Easy there tiger. Don't get all snappy at my girlfriend." Ellis laughed.
"It's okay babe. Cecelia's probably tired. But thanks babe! You are just so sweet though!" Brooke suddenly engaged into a passionate liplock with Ellis.
"Ew. Can you guys not?" Adrianna raised a hand in front of her eyes.
Chase smirked. "Babe, that's nothing compared to what I can do."
Adrianna punched him in the shoulder and Chase winced.
"Don't call me babe. I have a boyfriend you know." Adrianna scowled.
"Yeah, she does!" Wes chimed in.
I guess everybody knows who wears the pants in their relationship. Totally not Wes.
"Well Cecelia, the Benton boardwalk is basically along the pier of the beach, and it's sort've like a carnival. It's really fun! And legal!" Brooke said.
"Yeah, like, it's going to be so fun, girl. Like, totally! Hashtag fun!" Chase mocked in a falsetto voice.
Which earned him another punch in the shoulder.
"Fine, I'll go." I smiled.
A few hours later, Brooke, Adriana, and I were at the boardwalk. It was amazing. There were lights wrapped around trees, colorful stands, and a glowing ferris wheel. The ferris wheel really lit up the night sky.
"Ooh! Fried cheesecake! We have to try that!" Brooke chirped.
Um, fried cheesecake? No thanks. My stomach growled in protest, and I mentally hushed it. Do you want to squeeze into those new skinny jeans or not? I chastised. You can stick to something healthy instead.
"Cecelia? Are you coming, or not?" Adriana smirked.
Before I could open my mouth, Brooke grasped my wrist and pulled me toward the concessions.
"C'mon missy, you are not missing out on the boardwalk food!" She called out in glee.
I couldn't help but smile. Might as well! Who knows how long I was going to stay in Benton anyways. Brooke pulled me over to a stand that radiated sweet aromas.
"Hey, girls, Keeley's here so I'm just gonna meet you guys up later." Chase blushed.
"Aw! Chasey has a wittle girlfwiend. Doesn't he? Yes he does! Yes he does!" I cooed.
"Shut up, loser. I know that you're secretly obsessed with me and wish I wasn't dating Keeley." He joked, but his ears flushed pink.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever you say, Chase."
Brooke raised her brows at me as Chase walked away.
"Want to tell me what's happening between you and the man-whore?" Brooke asked.
"Nothing, Brooke! We're just friends, and he has a girlfriend you know." I reminded her.
She just looked at me incredulously and Adrianna grimaced.
"Whatever. C'mon, let's go get food." Adrianna chirped.
Soon we were happily chomping on our grease loaded food on sticks and I was scarfing my fried cheesecake on a stick.
Right as I was about to bite another piece of my heavenly snack, I saw her.
Oh shit.
