Turns out Nick didn't even know that I had skipped the entire school day. Result! I'm glad he didn't because I would honestly have never heard the end of it. Anyways, once I got home I went straight to my room and started blasting Classic by MKTO. Honestly, that song really is a tune! I checked my phone and noticed a text from Drew,
From: Drew
Hey, about tomorrow. Will you wear something formal, please?
From: Me
Yeah, sure. No problem. Is a dress and heels okay?
From: Drew
That's perfect. Thank you. See you tomorrow, beautiful.
From: Me
No problem. Haha, ditto ;)
Just as I put my phone on charge the doorbell rung. I made my way quickly down the stairs towards the front door. I was surprised to see who was stood at the door,
'Jase? What are you doing here?' I honestly thought it was Josh coming to harass me.
'Umm...I didn't know you lived here. We just moved next door today and my Mom asked me to ask you if you had any teaspoons we could borrow for tonight?'
'Oh you're my new neighbour? Cool. Yeah, sure. I'll get you one now. Come in' I gestured for him to come in before I shut the door.
'Nice place'
'Thanks'
I walked into the kitchen to find Nick drinking a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper. He looked up when we walked in.
'You're the guy who just moved in next door, right?' no hi or anything. Nick really needs to work on his people skills.
'Yeah'
Nick nodded and went back to reading his newspaper. Rude. Pure rude. I got a teaspoon and handed it to him.
'Here ya go'
'Thanks'
'Hey if you and your family want to have dinner here, you're more than welcome to. I have Shepard's pie in the oven' I offered.
'Actually, my Mom and Dad are going out tonight on a date. Thank you though' he smiled at me.
'You can have dinner here if ya want? Don't feel like you have to though'
'That'd be nice, thank you. I'd best take this to mom and then i'll be over'
I nodded and walked him to the door.
'be right back'
I walked back towards the kitchen and started to get plates out. I set them on the already set table. I opened the oven and took out the food.
'What the hell did you invite him to dinner for?' I turned to face an angry looking Nick.
'I was being polite. And anyway its not like I don't the guy. I go to school with him' I replied.
'I know his brother. That family is trouble. Don't get involved. Why do you think they had to move?'
'I dunno. They might have needed a change of scenery. Don't tell me what to do. I've been fine for the past five years without you thank you'
'His brother was arrested for rape'
That shut me up quickly.
'W-what?'
'You heard me. Now you might think twice about who you invite into your home'
'Jase isn't like that. He's nice'
'I'm just warning you. Be careful' he made his way to the front door.
'Wait! Where are you going?'
'I'm meeting an old friend. I'll be back before eleven'
'Bye. Love you'
'Ditto'
Five minutes after Nick left, the doorbell rang. I took a deep breath, pulled a fake smile onto my face and made my way towards the door. Jase was stood outside with a bottle of red wine.
'Uh Mom said I should give you this to say thank you for dinner' he awkwardly handed me the bottle and I let him in whilst taking his hoodie. I thanked him for the wine and we made our way silently into the kitchen.
I noticed Jase had on black skinny jeans, white Adidas hi tops and a white v-neck top. I told him to sit as I got out two wine glasses and poured us some of the wine. I know what you're thinking, 'She's only seventeen! She shouldn't be drinking!'. Yeah well, I do so get over it.
We sat in silence until I decided to break it.
'So Jase, why did you move here?' he noticeably tensed and his jaw clenched before he relaxed.
'Mom didn't like our old village. She thought it wasn't safe'
'Okay. And do you have any siblings?' again he tensed before he relaxed.
'Uh, I have a brother but we don't really get along'
'Why not?'
'Difference in views. What about you?'
'I have three idiot brothers. Nick, the one you saw earlier, Josh and Trey'
'And where are you parents?' It was now my turn to tense.
'Umm...they died when I was seven'
'Oh I'm really sorry'
'Unless you were the drunk driver that hit them, then I don't think you need to be sorry' I chuckled a bit.
Honestly, Jase seems to be a lot nicer than I originally thought. He seems to be less cocky without his friends and honestly I'm beginning to like him. As a friend before I get any 'oooh's'. He's really sweet. All night we were talking about random topics. He's funny too. He finally left at eleven o'clock when Nick got home. Before Nick could shout at me for him being here for too long I walked upstairs and jumped in the shower.
After ten minutes I came out and got dressed. I slept soundly that night thinking of tomorrow's date and seeing Jase in school. I honestly can't wait for either one.
