My Twitter Romance

Chapter 2

I woke to tiny specs of water hitting my face and kept my eyes tightly closed until I felt a huge burst of cold water hitting my face.

" Rise and shine, sleepyhead", I heard with chuckles afterward.

My eyes shot open as I tackled my brother to the ground with a loud thud, he deserved it. Don't wake me up with water and I won't get physical.

" What the hell was going through your thick skull to make you think it was okay to pour water over me?!" , I yelled at him, extremely agitated by the way.

" I did what I had to do when you wouldn't wake up, ya little brat", he grunted while standing up and running his hand through his hair, before exiting my room with his middle finger in the air.

I grunted in response and picked up my phone to check the weather. 91 degrees today. I picked out a lacy red crop top and some bleached high waisted denim shorts. I made my way across the hall to the bathroom to relieve my bladder and brush my teeth.

After washing my face and dressing, I put my hair in a loose bun,slipped on a pair of nude strappy sandals, grabbed my phone, and made my way downstairs. I didn't really bother with makeup in this heat.

I found a note on the 'fridge from my mom. She'd be working late tonight, as usual, just me and the broski then. I opened the door and grabbed and apple. I checked the time and it was already 7:30, I yelled 'bye' to my annoying brother and stepped into the already scorching heat. I opened the garage with a sigh, I honestly did not feel like going to school. We were just preparing for graduation, and it was useless, no matter what some idiot found a way of screwing it up. I found myself learning less about the common subjects and more about posture and how to walk up the stage in heels.

I felt my phone vibrate once I had the air blasting in my Acura TSX, it was a birthday gift from my dad. Hey, if he couldn't make up in love he could most definitely make up with gifts like these. I remember screaming in my moms' ear when I found it parked in the driveway with a huge red bow for my 17th birthday, ah that was a good day.

I made a quick left on the street my school was on and entered the packed parking lot of students trying to find a place to park. I noticed an empty spot near my friend Adrienne's' gray Honda Civic, I quickly sped up and parked in it. I turned off my car and checked my phone, three notifications from Twitter. I'd have to check them later. I grabbed my brown bag and swung it over my shoulder before walking towards the group of friends I had gotten to know over the years. I spotted Zach, Adrienne, Tyler, CeCe, Darius, Shane, Kim, and lastly Megan. Yup these are my pals, we all pretty much lived at Megan's house, since she was rich and all, at least during one period of our lives'. She never minded either.

" Hey guys", I called out to them.

" Rikki !", Kim,Adrienne,Megan, and CeCe tackled me in hugs and the guys said hello in deep voices before going back to their sports conversation, I'm guessing.

" Guys ! Guess who texted me last night !" , I smiled in slight anticipation waiting for them to guess who.

Kim called it right away. " Let me guess, Aaron..", she answered sounding bored of the conversation.

" Yeah.. but--" I was cut off quickly by Adrienne.

" Ericka, you know how much trouble he causes.. he already got some underclassman knocked up!", Adrienne told me. I was not expecting that one.

"Who?!", I shouted causing he boys to glance in our direction.

"Oh my gosh, where have you been?", CeCe butted in.

" OH YEAH ! That's right, he got Nicole Carmona preggers, poor little sophomore. But hey, it takes two to tango.. so never mind", Megan trailed off giggling. She looked around before we all started laughing just at the fact of how scandalous Aaron could be. The guys looked at us as if we had three heads, and I think I heard one of them mumble 'girls'. Our laughter was soon replaced with grunts and groans as the first period bell rang. We bid our separate ways, Adrienne had class near me so we walked together.
