Don't wanna be torn

Chapter 11

NaSia POV

         I wake up to the sun shining bright in my eyes as I'm sprawled across my bed. I blink a few times before sitting up and rubbing my fingers through my messy hair. I look around trying to gather my thoughts. I move my pillows and rub my hands across my bed to try and locate my cell phone. It is 11:32 am. I can't believe I slept that long. I must have been really tired last night.

    I get up to walk out my bedroom and downstairs. I see a small sticky note on the fridge. It says 'going to the store, I'll be back later' from my mom. I take it off the fridge and crumple it up into the trash.

       I begin to make myself a cup of coffee. I hear my phone chime. I stop what I'm doing to walk over to my phone and grab it not aware of who it might be. I'm assuming it may be my mom for some crazy reason of what I may want from the store while she's out. I see it's a text from Hillary.

Hillary: Guess how my date went with Daniel!!!

Me: Let me guess...good?

Hillary: Better. It went great!!

Me: Give me all the details.

Hillary: Well we went to go see a movie and it was great. He even tried and sneak to put his arm around me, I pretended not to notice and play it cool. He also kept complementing me all night.

Me: aww...isn't that sweet.

Hillary: i know right! He even was a gentleman to open and close the door for me. He is actually not so bad. I wouldn't mind going on another date with him. He's nice, funny and I could stare at him all day.

Me: woah, staring at him all day is kind of creepy but I know how you feel. I'm happy for you and that the date went well.

Hillary: now it's time for you to like someone or get into a relationship.

Me: I don't know about that. It's too soon.

Hillary: take your time but I know you will be in a relationship soon. Then you and I will be able to go on double dates.

Me: whatever! lol.. I won't be catching feelings any time soon or any relationship.

Hillary: yeah, yeah. Don't forget about the color run around 3:00pm today. I'll be around to pick you up.

I totally forgot all about the color run today. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Until then I'm just going to lounge around until 2:00pm. I have nothing better else to do besides watch Glee on Netflix and stuff my face with food.

It's almost 2:00 and I need to get myself together before Hillary gets here. I get up off of my bed to walk straight to the bathroom. I look half dead. I force my hair into a ponytail so it won't be in my face. When I'm done getting myself together I here a car horn beep twice in my drive way.
 
     I hurry to grab my cell phone, wallet and keys to put them on my lanyard. As I'm walking out the door I see Hillary poke her head out the window on the drivers side.

   "Hurry up, snail!" She yells.
  
        "I'm coming!" I yell back with a smile across my face.

  I walk as quickly as possible to the passengers side of her car and get in. She pulls out of the drive way with a lot of force causing me to jolt a little. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach already about this event. This is something new and I like experiencing new things...sometimes. I look over to my left and see Hillary tapping her  thumbs on the steering wheel, keeping her eyes locked right in front of her.

     After about 20 minutes of silence we finally pull up to our school. It is packed with so many people from school. I take in a deep breath after Hillary parks and we begin to get out the car.  She looks over at me with a huge smile.
