Story Of My Life

Chapter 3:knowing you

It wasn't long before everyone finished the test and came to join me outside the class. Little meeting were being held everywhere. Conversations were loud and I was talking to almost everyone.
"Ummh what's wrong with Mr Liam's eyes? The seem to be stuck on you." Wilma said. I shrugged my shoulders and rolled my eyes. "I don't know" I said as if i didn't care. "But he is mighty fine" I said and the girls immediately agreed. We laughed. "Oh yes. " said Christina.
"That eye contact is killing me though! " Jolé said. I laughed. "Let him look. Let him see what he can't have". We all giggled and kept talking.

Just then, Janil, Derick, AJ and Darrell come to join us, making all sorts of noise. " so ladies, how many of us are going to the park today? Its a really beautiful day. " AJ said. "A beautiful day huh? " Christina said. AJ chuckled and proceeded to wrap his arms around her waist. "Yes, but nit as beautiful as you" he said in a low voice.
"8!! "
They both looked down at me wondering why I abruptly shouted. "8 of us are going" I calmly said and got in between of them. "We can't have you flirting like this in front of us, the single people. " i said gently pushing AJ further away from Christina's torso. Janil began laughing. "Easy Lola, let them be"
"No.. "
He laughed again. "Alright fine.you can date me. I want you. " he said. "Yeah.. But i dont want you" i said with a straight face.
Janil crossed his brows. "And you wonder why you're single you mean person". " first off, i dont wonder. Secondly,I'm not mean. I'm sweet. " i said before the group began to mummer violently. ".. At points? " i corrected and they soon began agreeing .
"Sweet.. Sure. " janil said. "Oh and make that 12 of us. I invited Liam, Mark, Andrew and William. ". I couldn't understand the feeling i had when i heard Liam's name. I decided to brush it off.
*****************❤*******************

The siren wailed and all 12 of us headed for the park near the mall. We walked down the street laughing. I remember laughing so hard, my tummy hurt.
We finally got to a place where were seats, unfortunately they were not enough.
" aww the seats are done." Wilma whinned . " dude you could sit on the ground like the rest of us. " I said. "No way, this is a Gucci dress. " I looked at her " umh.. Sorry? " I responded. Apology not accepted Lola. I haven't finished paying for this" she said.
Out of no where,Andrew took Wilma by the hand and and helped her onto his lap. "You can sit here". He smiled warmly noticing the shock in her eyes. " comfortable? " he asked in a velvet voice. Her cheeks turned red. "Uh.. Yes, I am.. Thanks"
"I'm Andrew by the way. Nice to have you on my lap. " he smiled.
"I'm Wilma.. Nice to be here". She giggled. They began talking." So this is kinda weird huh? " she said. He responded. "Indeed it is. I don't even know what u was thinking. I guess it was in the moment". " aren't you the quiet type? " she asked. "Yep, but I like to do spontaneous things... Quietly I guess. " he said. She laughed. Wilma was actually blushing.
"You're funny." She said.
*********************💙****************
"Sorry to disturb this moment but I need to pee. Wilma you wanna come with? " I said. My inner cockblocker was at work.
"Ummh.. " she hesitated.
"Get up Wilma. " I might have ordered.
She sighed and got up off of his lap."I'll be right back. " she said. She got up "I've always wondered why girls move in packs when going to the toilet. " Jamil said.

"Oh my gosh Andrew, you're so great and I love your eyes 😍. You're so funny tee-hee-hee" I mimicked Wilma as best as I could. "I did not say that" Wilma said. "that's what it sounded like" I added. Christina's laugh was heard. "I plan on having fun, please don't kill us with your lovey dovey stuff. " she said. "yeah" Mariah agreed. "you're making me miss my #12 boyfriend. " she added. "Bob? " Jolè asked. "no, Jim "Mariah corrected with a smile as Jolè nodded.
"I don't think he likes me, we weren't even flirting that much." Wilma defended herself.
We all looked at her
"yeah, sure...... All strangers sit on each others laps these days" I said. "dumbass "Christina added.

"hey yoh, what's up with you and that Wilma girl? " Mark asked Andrew.
"making your move huh? " William nudged him playfully with a naughty smile. "Trying to make your move? " Liam corrected and they all laughed. "stop grilling me man. Pissed that you didn't get your chances? " Andrew defended himself as he pushed William off. "Nah, you'll be shocked.3 weeks from now, Jolè is going to be all over me." he said. "why 3 weeks though? " Mark and the rest asked. William hesitated. "he needs to sum up the courage to ask her out" Liam said and the all laughed at me. "cool... Just don't fuck up like y'all do" Mark said, serious for a moment. "yeah, yeah we'll try. " William and Liam giggled under their breaths.

"hello family, we're back" I said as we approached the rest of the group. "oh! Uh Lola? Looks like the seats are done, you could sit here if you like?" Jamil said politely, pointing at his lap.
I looked at him through squinted eyes, hesitating for a while and wondering Why he was being kind and polite. "uh...... Okay? Why not? " I said. I then slowly sat and positioned myself until I quickly stood up.
"eww man" I said under my breath as I walked away. "come back Lola, it's my phone! " he said while laughing.

Most of the people on the group decided to get up and go explore. Andrew, Wilma, Jolè, William, Mark, Liam and I were left. We found out that the guys were a bunch of goofballs.

"no! I couldn't possibly do that! No way! " Mariah's voice echoed. " you seriously wouldn't clean up your dates puke if he got sick on your carpet? " Mark asked. "hell no, I'd make him clean it up" I agreed with Mariah. "I'd so take a picture of that." she said. "of him cleaning up his own vomit? " I asked.she agreed. "there's a special seat in hell waiting for people like you" I said. "don't say that"she hit me.
"speaking about pictures, say cheese " Mark caught us off guard with the picture he took. I grabbed the phone to see and burst out laughing at the sight of Mariah. "you look full oh my! Look at your nose!aww!" I said. Mark got the phone to see and began laughing as well. "delete that picture " Mariah said. "make me" Mark taunted her. It wasn't long before I saw Mark running with Mariah on his tail.

I shook my head and watched till I caught sight of Liam sitting,busy on his phone. "hello stranger " I said as I approached him. "hey there " he responded without lifting his head. It was quiet for a bit. "that must be really important huh? " I asked. He realised what I meant and chuckled. "not really.. I'm sorry" we giggled for abit. He then lifted his phone and took a Picture of us. "we look adowable " I said and laughed. "yeah,mostly you though "
He said in a more serious tone as he looked at me. I was speechless for a while till I spoke. "....I know" I said and will chuckled as he shook his head. "so tell me, where is your guy? " he asked. "I'd tell you, but I don't have one.. I like to pretend he's in Brazil though" I responded.
"you?single? You've got to be joking. " he said out of shock. "all true brother" I said. "what in the hell are you doing single? " he asked. "well, if you must know, I live my life😌" I said sarcastically. "ouch.. "he responded "I haven't found Mr Lola yet. " I said. "why though? " he asked. " I'm feeling all kind of lazy. He's show up when he shows up...what about you? You look like the player type" I said. "oh wow, player type. You're just on a roll of hurting my feelings huh? " we laughed for abit. "well if you must know, I haven't found Mrs Liam yet." he responded. "Aww don't worry, she'll show up and you won't even realise." I patted his back and gave a warm smile. "trust me" I added.
He looked at me for a bit with a smile.
"...I do" he said
"good.. " I added.
