Story Of My Life

chapter 4:connection

  It was the start of a very unexpected close friendship for all of us. Weeks passed and we hung out, any and everywhere.
"hey, I dare you two to make out. " jamil said to Jolè and Mariah.
"what he'll?! No way. " my shout was heard from across the room. "come on Lola, don't spoil the fun. " jamil said. "no, no, no.  There will be no same sex making out today" I shook my head. Jamil stuck his tongue out at me and I began to mumble things about him under my breath.
  Just then, Liam stepped into class and began talking to Mariah as I insulted jamil,continuously.
"fine then.. I dare you two to do it" he said rather loudly pointing at Liam and I. This caught Liam's attention. " dare us to do what? " Liam looked interested as he approached jamil and I,putting his arm around me when he got to us.
"you, my friend, get the privilege of making out with my dear Lola here. " jamil said and gave us a stupid smile of his. Liam smiled "cool, I'm no wimp, I do my dares" he said as he stretched, getting ready. "let's do this" he said and began doing lip exercises. The whole class started to swoon and look at us "you cannot be serious " I said. "do I look like I'm joking? What? Are you scared of a little lip action with The Liam? " he said as came closer to me. I put my hands up to cover my face. "well, the Liam can keep his lips to himself, I just ate. I'd like to keep my food down, thanks " I said and walked away leaving him with a smile and the rest of the class 'Oooh -ing' .

  Lunch hour had come and I was in the hallway, talking to my math club about an upcoming event. As I was giving information I felt arms wrap themselves around me tightly.
"hey. "
His voice came deep,in my ear.
I turned to meet Liam's warm smile.
"hello" I responded. "how are we? " I asked. "good, good.."he responded "hey guys, mind if I steal her for abit? " he asked my friends. They shook their heads immediately.
"yes..whatever you say to her, you can say to us. " Christina said. Jolè quickly shushed her. "don't mind this one, go ahead Liam. " He and I walked to a distance. "so what's up? " I asked, anxious go know what he wanted. "nothing serious Lola,  I just want you to meet my mom. " he said. My heart dropped cause naturally, other people's parents scared me. "alright?.... Which day? "I asked. "this weekend. And you're going to have to stay over. You meeting her is disguised as a group get together, everyone is staying the night. " I could feel my facial expression indicating 'horror'.  " don't panic girl, I got Mary to help me ask your aunt already and she seemed alri-"
"hollup! You spoke to aunt B?? " I interrupted him. "yeah, my mother helped though " he responded. "back up once more, you and your mother both talked to my aunt?? " I asked. "yeah... " he said.
"wow.. " I said, amazed.  "yeah, so you're coming home with me tomorrow. That's final, I'm not asking ." he then hugged me and left before I could respond.
I stood there, speechless looking around. This boy was persistent. He gave me a feeling I didn't like at all. Ever since we became friends, I got this feeling quite often. I wasn't sure if this get together was a sleep over or not. Did people even call them sleep overs anymore? What ever it was, it was new to me.
I then caught Christina and the others giving me a look.
"what? " I asked. "I'm snoopy so I heard everything. He now wants to introduce you to the family huh? " christina raised her brow twice. "someone has a looooove interest " she added.
"friends Chris. Nothing more, nothing  less. " I said. "yeah, definitely not less" she raised her brow another two times.

"you asked her what!?" Mark asked as he picked his jaw off the ground.
Liam chuckled as he tied his laces. The boys had just come from a basketball game and were dressing up in the boys locker. Multiple half dressed bodies walking around and talking loudly about whatever it was boys talk about.
"I asked her to meet my mom. " Liam answered. "that's some marriage type of deal bro. You sure she wasn't spazzing out as you told her? You sure she'll come?" Mark asked.  Liam swung his shirt over his head, fit his arms through and pulled it over his torso.  "look, I disguised the whole thing as a get together slash 'sleepover' ...if people still even have those anymore " he laughed. "this is me officially inviting you guys" . He looked at Mark, William and Andrew.  " Will Jolè be there? " William spoke after a bit.  "of course she will, that's Lola's close friend or something. I just want her to be comfortable and have fun." Liam's facial expression was stern and sincere.
The boys nodded.
"Wilma will be there too Andrew. Maybe you could make your move " Liam playfully shoved him.  "I don't know man. I just get so stuck around her.. Like I have a lump in my throat or something " Andrew spoke. William sighed "I feel you brother. "
