Choosing Him

After School ✅

It was after school. I was walking out with Uni and Nick, because they were in my last class. We had art together.

We are meeting Ashlie, Tommy, Cory and Jon near the front of the building.

"So where do you guys meet up after school?" I ask, at the moment, just blindly following them.

"Just over there" Uni says, pointing over to a little ramp, leading to nowhere and a little garden behind it with all sorts of flowers growing.

"Wow, you guys have the best hang out spots" I am surprised at how these spots are always vacant. Just for them.

"Yeah, pretty cool, hah" Uni replies.

"Yeah, I guess it's what happens when your best friends with the teachers pet and the princ-" Nick gets spoken over.

"NICK! She doesn't know yet" Uni whisper-yells the last bit.

"Oh, right"

"Wait, what don't I know?" I am now confused.

"Yeah, what doesn't she know?" Tommy marches over.

"I was about to spill the secret, non-secret, secret" Nick says, just confusing everyone more.

"Oh" Cory cracks the code and then whispers to Ashlie.

"Oh that Cor-"

"TOMMY!" Everyone, except me and Tommy, yells.

"Ok, what is so secret, that I can't know. Ashlie you know I am trustworthy, right" I innocently ask.

"Yes you are trustworthy, but no. We will tell you it tonight at the sleepover party" Ashlie smiles at me.

"Party?" Yay, something else to worry about, a party.

"Yeah it's someone's birthday" she says looking at Cory.

"No way, it's my birthday too!" I yelled

"Mines on the Saturday" Cory stated.

"Sunday" I exclaimed, we laughed.

"Twins!" Ashlie yells at us.

"We are born on different days Ashlie" I replied

"Still the same weekend, it is possible." She responded folding her arms with a huff.

"Umm, don't know about you, but my mum never told me about a lost brother. Let alone twin" I look at Jon and giggled

"My dad never told me about a long lost sister" Cory replied, but only one thing stood out, he only said dad.

"I mean Cory's born in the afternoon, and (Y/N) in the morning. So y'all could still be related" Me and Cory just stared at each other. Then...

"So how do you get home?" Tommy asked, bored with the conversation.

"I walk, why?" I ask

"Where do you live?" Tommy asks dodging my question.

"Umm, creepy much" Uni says

"Yeah, this girl could be my sister, at least wait till you ask her out" Cory jokes.

"Nah, its fine. I live down Morhagen RD" (Ps: It's made up)

"REALLY?!?" Tommy asks.

"Yes, now why are you asking all these questions?" I yell, pretending to get mad.

"To know which way you walk. Also I live down Morhagen RD too. I'll walk with ya" Tommy finally answers.

"Don't forget about me" Jon yells and then smiles as if holding in a laugh.

"Oh yeah, Jon is actually my next door neighbour" Tommy rolls his eyes.

"Oh, poor Jon. Having to live beside you" I joke, Ashlie, Nick, Cory, Uni and Jon laugh.

They ramble on about something as I zone out. It's my birthday this weekend, mums probably forgotten, yet again.

"So..." They have been talking about homework or something.

"So what?" Nick asks

"So, when do we leave?" I finish my question.

"Wow, just meet her this morning and you're already trying to run away. Damn Cory, you dingbat" Tommy laughs, Cory just ignores him.

"No, I just wanna make sure I can get inside, before my mum leaves" I giggle sadly "We just got here and she's already going on a business trip"

"Well, if you don't make it, you can always stay at one of the guys homes" Ashlie tried to cheer me up.

"Heh, I guess so"

"We better get going, if you wanna get home" Jon stated, I nodded.

"Well, you lead the way, it would take me about an hour to get home" I sighed

"What? An hour?" Nick asked.

"Yep, I've always liked the scenic route" I giggled

"Well, we know the fast way" Tommy spoke up.

"Onward!" I yelled going to run away, but stopping "Bye Ashlie" I hug her

"Bye (Y/N), stay safe. You guys better make sure she makes it to the party" She glares at Tommy and Jon.

"OK, OK. Dinkweed" He says just before walking away, Ashlie just ignores him.

I say goodbye to everyone else and then walk away with Jon, to catch up with Tommy.

They are walking behind me talking about something, as I walk in front I go to keep walking straight as I feel a hand grab my shoulder and pull me the other way. I just about scream.

"Tommy! Dude, don't make it look like you're kidnapping her" Jon laughed

"But he is, he is kidnapping me" I laughed

"Of course, it's a Tommy thing to do. Kidnap the new girl in the group and take her home" Me and Jon started laughing hysterically.

"Yeah-uh-ha" Tommy rolled his eyes and continued walking to right.

Today was fun and I can see the years ahead are going to be too.
