PLAYING GAMES

Chapter 1

ALEERA'S POV
High school was over almost a year ago and so where the friendships I had. The teachers I had....the crush I had on this guy. When I think about him I just regret not saying anything to him. Because I'm shy..and insecure.

I had a dream about him. But not just any dream...it felt so real. It felt like he was there with me. But when I opened my eyes all I saw was my gray walls. Let me tell you a little about him...his name is David and he's an athletic kind of guy. And as you probably already guessed he's very popular but also very quiet. Another strange thing is he never dated anyone. There were some rumors about him dating but it has never been confirmed. He never posted anything about being taken or even has a pic with a girl.

It's time to wake up aleera...I said. I walked toward my closet and stood in front of my closet for about 10 minutes before actually trying things on. I grabbed black leggings and a gray sweatshirt...typical white girl...even though I'm not white. I combed my hair thru and put on some black nike rush-runs.

I walked downstairs and told my mom, little sister and brother good morning.
Me: where's dad?
Mom: he's....gone. He'll be back before dinner..
Me: again...
You need something from the store? I'm going there.
Little sis en bro: TOYS!
Me: sure
Mom: no I don't need anything. Be careful.
Me: I will be
I walked out and closed the door behind me. Why would she tell me to be careful..she normally never does that. Whatever. I'm going to walk to the store because it is super close. Plus it's healthy to walk every now and then.

I started walking when I had this uncomfortable feeling. Like someone was staring. I gotta stop wearing those leggings. I looked behind me and it was sam. A good friend of David. Or should I say one of his good friends.

Sam: HEY! ALEERA! How's your new school?
Aleera: uhmm..good what about yours? New friends or do you still hang out with your old friends.

(I asked that to get him to talk about David of course.)

Sam: yes I have some but I only hang with them at school. Outside of school I still hang with David and James and the rest of our group.
Aleera: that's nice. I kinda lost contact with my old friends.
Sam: that sucks. Than I guess it's time for you to make new friends. Me and the boys are going out tonight. You can come with us if you want
Aleera: you and the boys? So I'm the only girl?
Sam: you can take a friend with you.
Aleera: umm sure.
Sam: here is my number. Text me for details.
Aleera: sure. See you tonight.

That was weird...I finally arrived at the store and promised myself never to walk again.
I walked into the h&m and got a nice dress with an diamond (fake) choker and some rings. When I saw the cashier my mouth dropped to the ground. It was David. I put my stuff down and acted and casual as possible.
David: $85,98 please

(Why isn't he starting a conversation. Maybe he doesn't know it's me, let's face it I look ratchet)

Aleera: here you go. Such a steal
David: yea it would look amazing on you.
Aleera: I hope so. *blushing*
David: have a nice day
Aleera: you too

Just when I thought he complimented me....it's just what they supposed to say to their costumers. Fuck.

After walking and walking and walking...I finally arrived at home. Now that i had a dress I needed a friend to take with me. Time to contact my old friends I guess.

Text convo:
Aleera: heyyy! Long time no see xx
Miranda: hey, I agree we should hang out some time
Aleera: we should. Tonight.
Miranda: tonight already? Where do you Wanna go then?
Aleera: go out with David!
Aleera: and James and Sam and the other ones I don't know haha
Miranda: omg I'm down. How did you even fix going out with him. He rarely even talks to a girl..
Aleera: I'm the shit. Haha
Miranda: yes you are. I'm going to take a bath and get ready
Aleera: me too. Only 6 hours left. I'm stressing.

I'm so happy she agreed to come. I bet she only wanted to come because of David but whatever I would do the same.

Text convo:
Aleera: hey Sam Miranda is coming with us
Sam: that's good. Can you FaceTime me?
Aleera: sure

Calling.....connecting.....

I waved at him.
Aleera: why FaceTime?
Sam: you look amazing..
I looked at him with a confused face.
Aleera: I was just about to get ready. I still look like when you came across me
Sam: still beautiful
Aleera: thank you....so why did you call me?
Sam: just wanted to see you. Can you show me your outfit for tonight
Aleera: I have to shower first you know...
I laughed uncomfortably
Sam: show me your body
Aleera: no thank you
Sam: I know you want David but you'll have to show me your body
Aleera: are you crazy?
I hung up

He is fucking crazy.
*incoming call*
Sam: so i have to ask another girl?
Aleera: do you boo
Sam: alright alright. 19.00 at ****
Aleera: I'll be there
