The Book

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I sat on my laptop anticipating for a call. I had the movie in my hand, the movie of all movies, mean girls. It was our spring break ritual from 6th grade to watch mean girls the Saturday before we went back to school.  I was waiting for my best friends Noella and Enil to call to tell me they’re on their way. I pulled out my computer scrolling down tumblr, trying to keep myself busy.  I looked at my number of followers, 1. I groaned and rolled my eyes at my pathetic amount. The number of follower has been the same since i made the account a year ago.  I liked and reposted all the things I favored and closed my computer. I checked my old android, still, nothing. Why are my friends so slow to do everything!?  Just then my phone vibrated indicating that I got a text message. I basically ran to my phone and checked to see who it was from. I was slightly disappointed that it was from Enil. Afterall, Noell was my best friend. Enil:On my way, and have the Nutella! You better love me for this. I rolled my eyes and replied, Okay cool, you know I’ll love you forever Ennie!xx  I tried texting Noell but she didn’t reply. I decided to start setting up for our movie night shin-dig. I brought out all the blankets and laid them on the floor, and started to pop the popcorn. I straightened up everything. The doorbell rang and I ran to it.  I opened the door. “Happy to see me?” Enil said cockily. “You wish” I responded leaving the door open for her to enter.  I plopped down on the couch while she closed the door. “Happy to be driving?” I asked as I heard her keys jiggling as she put them in her pocket. “Yeah totes, you should try it!, oh wait you don’t have your license, sucks to suck.” Said Enil placing the Nutella on the counter. “Yeah well give me a break im working on it Enil” I replied. She knew I wanted my license more than anything right now. I hated being a junior and riding the bus. “Calm down, it was just a joke.” Said Enil plopping down next to me. “Yeah I know” I said pulling out my phone, hoping that Noell would show up soon. I can only spend so much time with Enil before I strangled her.  “Oh you’ll never guess what Jonah did….” At that point I tuned her out. It was always boyfriend talk with her. I was surprised Jonah still wanted to be with her after a year. But I had to admit, they made a cute couple. Finally my phone vibrated indicating that Noell was calling me. I thanked God in my head and told Enil to hold her thought. “HEEEEEY!” I screamed in the phone a little too excitedly. “Oh hello?, Ari?, hey! Umm I’m so sorry im late!, im on my way now! “ Noell stuttered into the phone I let out a little chuckle. “On my way as in Im still in my house, right?” I replied, being used to Noells lateness. “Ahhh you know how my mom is! I only live fifteen minutes away! , look see im getting into the car now, and I have the vanilla ice cream.” Replied Noell . I heard her opening her car door. “Okay Noell, just please hurry.” I replied pacing the room. “Yeah no problem later.” Said Noell hanging up the phone.  “Where is the squirt?” asked Enil texting, probably Jonah. “On her way, at least she has the vanilla ice cream.” I replied still pacing. “Only if she had her license…” said Enil shaking her head. Her blonde waves shaking in the process. Her hazel eyes focused on her phone, her long fingers made a annoying tapping sound.  Enil was tall with blonde waves that reached just below her shoulders. Freckles covered Enils face and arms, and she wore braces. I guess Jonah like the tall blonde thing. I just don’t know how he deals with her attitude “Yeah well Enil, im sorry everyone isn’t as smart as you, and decided to get their permit right after their birthday.” I snapped.  I was tired of the constant talk of her being better than us because of her license. “Well maybe people should be more like me, the world would be a better place” Enil smirked. I scoffed and I walked towards the kitchen pulling out the supplies we needed to make our Nutella milkshakes. One of our traditions.  All of a sudden I heard a screech. “Heeey babe!” it was Enil talking to her boyfriend. Ugh I think I might Barf. “OOO Noooooothing what are YOU doing?” she said talking in a baby voice. Oh  brother. “Umm Enil I need your help in the kitchen.” I yelled trying to get her to hang up. “Can’t you handle it yourself?” Enil sassed.  “No Enil, this blender is really heavy.” I complained. “Kay babe I gotta help this chic, no you hang up, no no hehehe….” Enil  continued. I grabbed the phone from her hand and pressed the end button. Even though Enil was probably a foot taller than me, I wasn’t scared of her.  “Hey!, Gosh Ariana you’re such a little-“ the doorbell cut Enil off. I ran to the door. “Hey what did you need help with!” Enil yelled. “Just get the blender from under the cabinets.” I yelled back. I swung the door open and engulfed Noell in a hug. Because of my height  I ended up hugging her around the waist and she just laughed.  “Well im happy to see you too bestie!, but can I get through the door?” she asked politely. “Yeah sure,” I said backing up. Her mom honked the car horn and Noell waved. I shut the door behind her. “Hey Enil, hows it going?”  a mischievous grin appeared on Enils face. I knew that look. “Better now!” Enil replied a little too happily. “Ummm okay, well Ariana where should I put the ice cream?”  asked Noell. Noell was tall, but not as tall as Enil. She was Hispanic, so she had really pretty long curly hair that went well past her shoulders.  She had strong facial features and a flirty personality. Noell was just perfect, and I was really surprised that she didn’t have a boyfriend. She was really independent anyways, she didn’t really need one, but she’s had plenty of offers.  Then there was me, the short, baby like one in the group.  I had medium curly black hair and chocolate skin. I had big eyes and full lips, with a short stature of 4’10. I hated how all of my friends towered over me, but it’s something I’ve learned to deal with. “Well let’s get the party started!” said Enil while I was getting lost in my thoughts. I still had to figure out what she was up to.  “Yeah!” smiled Noell. I turned on Pandora, and some Katy Perry song came on. We danced and sang along to the corny lyrics as we blended our milkshakes.  I danced around, spilling a little ice cream on myself. “aha Ariana your such a dutz” laughed Enil. I stuck my tongue out at her and continued to dance horribly as always. We settled on the floor which was filled with covers. “Alright mean girls!” yelled Noell who was already a little hyped up on the milkshake I gave her. “Ha okay Noell I gotcha” I said while popping in the DVD.  Lindsey Lohans voice began the movie as we squealed.  We always get excited about this movie.  It brought us together, in a sisterhood type of way. Yes I know,  im a cornball, but I get sentimental about everything. In the  middle of the movie  Enils phone went off. I paused the movie, and shot her mean glare. “Calm your tits its only Jonah. I gotta take this outside, it’ll only take a sec.” said Enil getting up and walking towards the door. As she walked outside Noell turned over and looked at me. “You don’t look too happy,” said Noell observing my face. “Yeah, just tired of this whole Joheil thing” I replied turning over to look at her. Noell bit her lip and shrugged her shoulders. “ I mean shes happy, “ replied  Noell  making a point, “Yeah I guess,” I mumbled pushing a curl out of my face. “Ariana can I ask you something?”  said Noell sounding unsure. I saw the worried look on her face. “Yeah of course Noell, anything.” I said sitting up to listen to her. “Well-“ suddenly as soon as Noell started to speak Enil burst in with a embarrassed looking  Jonah next to her. “Surprise!” Enil said pulling Jonah inside the house. My jaw slightly dropped. Enil just stood there arm around her boyfriend’s waist smiling brightly. “Enil, what, what the?” I was speechless. She KNOWS im not supposed to have boys over without my parents over. If they come home my mom and step-dad are going to kill me.   “Calm down dude he just came over to say hi, and maybe watch the movie with us. Ariana dear, why don’t you make him a milk shake hmm?” said Enil leading him over to my couch. “Oh don’t you DARE Ariana Dear me!, Enil! If my mom and Cameron come home to him sitting on my couch im dead!” I was freaking out. “Hey calm down! We’ll make sure he leaves before they come home. Easy Peasy!, no go make him a milkshake” said Enil sitting next to him. I looked to Noell for support. Her face was pale. Good she was probably just as scared as I was. “Noell, tell her shes crazy!” I said. Noell was shaking a little bit. Wow was she really that scared of my mom? I mean she was pretty scary. “Well I think its best that um, Jonah leaves.” Noell stuttered looking at the ground. “I’m with Noell , she’s the smart one, sorry Jonah, you’re cool and all but you’re going to have to leave.” I said crossing my arms.  “If he leaves I leave” huffed Enil. “Well isn’t it my luck night, good riddance to both of you “ I said ushering them both to the door. “Babe you stay with your friends, sorry to intrude Ariana.” Jonah said sheepishly. I noded my head in response. “Oh baby but ill miss yoooou” Enil cooed. She reached up to kiss him. Jonah was huge. He was at least 6’6 and was on the Grahm High basketball team.  He emotionlessly accepted a kiss on the cheek. “Sorry Ariana.” Jonah apologized again. He looked directly at Noell and said “Bye Noell” He quickly turned away. “Come on babe I’ll walk you out, “ said Enil taking his hand. She shot me a mean glare before she exited the door.
