Sandra Daisy Erinn. Born October 25 to Mr. Patrick Erinn, a clinical psychologist and Mrs. Regina Erinn a laboratory technician. Ugh. Science family. The worst. They must be prudes. Sandra isn't exactly bright. She's failed Spanish and Art twice last semester. She has been suspended once for inappropriate dressing. No shock there. This was what I managed to find on Sandra within the period from after lunch till closing. My main sources were Instagram and Twitter and a little help from the cute guy that works in the office. All I had to do was let him grab my behind. He's obviously getting none. Anyway, Sandra apparently is single, much to my chagrin. My plan now is to befriend her and convince her to realise Pete is mine so if in any case he as much as looks at her, she knows to steer clear. Lexi and I are meeting at Dreenas', a coffee shop where most of the teens hang out. It's in the middle of most of the high schools in the City so it's definitely a hip spot. Their coconut and cheesecake ice cream is to die for and it's my personal favorite on the menu. Lexi orders an Oreo milkshake and I go with my favorite on the menu.
"So, what'd you manage to get on Sandy? " She said taking a drink of her milkshake. I tell Lexi what I found out and she vows to do her own scooping. We decide to get started on work.
"Tee. I want to base my essay on what people don't see about you, what no one will assume alright? So the questions may be things you've never told anyone . Is that okay? " She asks reaching over for my cup of creamy heaven.
"Sure whatever. " I reply swatting her arm away. She reaches into her purse and pulls out a purple pen and a purple writing pad.
"Who do you love the most in this world? " Lexi asks without looking up
"That's easy. Pete." I reply shrugging
"Here I was hoping you'd say me, what about your mom or Harry Styles or that actor you like Ricky Whittle?"
"You asked a question. I answered. Move on. " I reply curtly
"What's your favorite thing to do?"
"Read Mystery or Thriller stories. "
"You never returned my copy of The Haunted Dante you know. " She points out as she writes.
"Are you kidding me? I borrowed that book three months ago and you now remember . Anyway Ryan kind of dropped it in the toilet so." I wince when I remember the incident .
"Your brother owes me money! " She says playing with her straw.
"Yeah yeah , next question? "
"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?"
"Spain! " I reply excitedly
" You have heard of Bahamas right? " Lexi asks teasingly
"Of course I have. " I say swatting her arm
"Why Spain? "She asks dodging
"Because the men are gorgeous and I love the language. " I say matter-of-factly.
"I don't know why the hell I didn't think of that. " Lexi says laughing."Okay, What do you want to be in future? "
"Mrs. Grant obviously. " I say and she starts to write. "Hey. It was a joke don't write that! I want to work in publishing! Preferably with Simon and Schuster. " I continue
"Oh I thought you wanted me to write that. " She pouts
"Shut it Lex. "
"What's your favorite kind of music?"She asks
"Uhm. Well now I think it's afro-jazz. I found this guy on the internet, Wizkid I think. I like his music. Yeah Afro-Jazz. " I reply still considering
"Oh I know that guy! He's Nigerian isn't he? My cousins back home adore him. I have his Ayo album. His music is cool. " She replies excitedly
"Favorite band? One Direction right? "
"No. " I say with a snort. "Union Jack." I add
"Oh please. They're like the less hotter version of One D. Your loss. " She whines. Before I can reply and tell her they are not the less hotter version the door chimes and I look up. Guess who walks in. Yhup. Sandra Banana.
"Sandy's here. " I tell Lexi still staring at Sandra walking across to the counter.
"Let's go say hi? " She suggests turning to Sandra.
"Why not? I'll lead. "I say before I get up and walk towards Sandra with Lexi in tow. Sandra was sitting at a corner table with a pile of books placed in front of her and a cup of coffee.
"Hi. I'm Tess. We go to school together. I just wanted to say I love your top! " I said as sweetly as I could.
"And I'm Lexi. I'm more a fan of the shoes. Pep &Co? " Damn. We were a good team.
"Oh my goodness. You guys are like GreenView Royalty. I'm Sandra. And thank you. If you like my clothes, I must be doing something right then. "She said with a laugh. She seems nice. But were we exactly royalty? Lexi could be. I mean her family is loaded.
"You take Spanish? " I asked pointing to one of her books.
"Yeah and I suck at it. "She said pouting.
"Lo siento. Well I'm pretty amazing with Spanish. I can help you? If you want. " I offered
" Oh really? Gosh I'd love that. I really don't want to fail this term. " She said looking relieved
"Great. But Lexi and I are working on a project so why don't I give you my number and when you're free hit me up and let's see if we can meet. " I said holding out my hand for her phone.
"Oh alright. I have a test tomorrow is it okay if I wait till you guys are done so you help me out a bit ,please? " She asked looking quite pitifully.
"Lexi? " I asked turning to my friend .
"That's fine with me. We should be done in about 20 minutes. I have a yoga class in 30 so. " Lexi answered beaming at me.
"Great. So we'll go back to our table now. In 20 minutes you can come over alright? "I told Sandra before Lexi and I made our way to back to our table
"Well that was easy. " Lexi says as we take our seats.
"That's because we're royalty. " I tease
"Ha. I like the fact that the juniors see us as royalty. Let's do this thing quickly. I need to go home ,change and head for yoga. "Lexi whined
"Fine, fine. Shoot. " I urge her.
"What are your views on chastity? " She asks and I snort with uncontrollable laughter.
"Really Lexi? Well I feel it's a good thing to remain a virgin till marriage so then you know you're giving your virginity to the right person ,that way you won't regret it. " I dictate to Lexi when I calm down.
"Are you a virgin? " She asks a question which she knows the answer to.
"Yes I am. " I say flatly.
Lexi goes on and on and eventually we finish for today.
