Ninety

Chapter 2

🎶My first love broke my heart
For the first time and I was like...
Baby baby baby ohh.
Baby baby baby noo
Baby baby baby ohh.
Thought you'd always be mine mine
Baby ba-🎶

I woke up and grabbed Tamara's phone to switch of her loud alarm tone. I'm a fan of Bieber, seriously, but I'm not in the mood to be happy today. Because today is the dreadful day called Monday.

"Not a fan?" Tamara asked.

"I'm not a fan, I'm a belieber. But today just isn't the day." I replied.

"Everyday is a great day!" Tamara replied excitedly as she rushed to the shower.

I took this as an excuse to get extra sleep, as soon as she left I jumped back into my bed.

I can't believe they gave me a roommate when I asked them NOT to give me one.

Wait Alexa.

You can't enjoy this year if you'll keep complaining the whole time, just accept it and move it.

"Wake up sunshine!" Was all I heard before I was splashed with ice cold water.

Tamara laughed as she handed me the empty bucket she had splashed me with.

Just accept it and move on!? No, I'll probably file a complaint later on.

I scowled as I headed towards the shower and took a nice hot shower. I finished, dried myself up and slipped on some clothes.

"You're not wearing THAT are you?" Tamara asked.

I shrugged. My outfit was comfortable enough, I wore a grey sweatshirt and black leggings with Vans.

"Where's your make up?" She asked.

"I don't have any." I said avoiding eye contact as I tied up my hair.

"What!?"

I rolled my eyes at her. Just because she was dressed like a queen, doesn't mean that everyone else has to. She was dressed in a gold and black dress with gold and black stilettos and her curly hair was hanging freely to her lower back. To be honest, I was a little jealous.

"Girl, I'll help you out when we return, as of now. We need to get to school. Hop into my car." She led the way to her Silver Mercedes.

We had finally arrived to Midstream Collage. As soon as Tamara parked her car, I stepped out without saying a word. She followed after me.

"Is this about the water thing?" She asked me.

I simply ignored her as I looked for my next class. 

"Okay look, I'm not sorry for that. That's just who I am." She said.

"You shouldn't apologize from being yourself." Said a voice.

Jonah. Why am I not surprised?

Jordon, Max and Jonahs greeted us.

"Heyyy losers!!! Party at my house, you're all invited!" Said an older student as he handed out flyers to every student in the hall.

"We should go!" Tamara exclaimed.

"I don't do parties. Plus, it's the first day of college, I want to focus on my studies before it becomes too much." I stated.

"Well, it's not like you can drag her to the party. Guests only." Max said.

"Didn't that guy say everyone's invited?" Tamara asked.

"If you know the rules, go sign some other guest entry FIRST. Which means no one will be declined to sign the entry but you will be declined if your name is not on the list tonight." Max explained.

The bell rang.

"Oh would you look at the time. I gotta bounce." I said delighted that I could now spend the rest of my day in peace.

The rest of the day was delightful, I spent a great deal of time alone, I didn't have to deal with Tamara, after classes, I went to the library nearby to find a good book to read.

As I arrived at my dorm room, I was greeted by Tamara.

"Where were you the whole day? It's nearly time for the party, go get ready." She claimed.

"I'm not going, my names not on the list." I replied.

"I wrote it down for you."

"Excuse me?" I asked, losing my patience with her taking over my life.

"You needed to cool off and-"

"Tamara! I have the freedom to do whatever I want, you can't just pop up and take over!" I yelled.

"You can't just focus on books and solitude all the time, you need to live life." She replied calmly.

"Yeah well that's how I prefer to live my life! With boring books and loneliness!" I yelled.

Just then, Jonah, Max and Jordon walked in oblivious to the situation, but as soon as they saw an arguement, they found it very amusing.

"Whoa, cat fight. This should be good" Max replied.

"You're not fighting for a right reason here, I might not know the reason, but I can tell you that it won't matter to you in a year, in fact, in a month." Jonah commented.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. To gain my composure, I counted to ten.

"Please tell her that she needs a life outside books." Tamara complained.

"She doesnt, we all have our own paths in life. How we choose to walk them is determined by us." Jonah said.

"Dude, you deserve an award." Jordon chuckled.

"I'm guessing, Mrs-Goody-Two-Shoes doesn't want to attend the party tonight," Max said.

"Guys, it's her desicion. But in all honesty, I want you to come with us." Jordon added.

I was hypnotized by his sparkling emerald eyes, that I didn't realised I was agreeing to it with a nod of a head.

"Way to charm the lady!" Max joked.

"Now go get dressed. You're not going to a party in THAT are you?" Tamara asked.

I squinted my eyes at her as I headed off to take a shower. Tamara picked out an outfit for me. I wore a denim skirt, a tank top, Vans and an Adidas jacket.

As I walked out our dorm room, Max and Jordon glared at me like I was getting married, making me self-conscious. Whilst Jonah smiled.

"Why are we leaving so early, the party is in 4 hours, and where is our ride?" I enquired.

"Now that's the fun part," Jordon smirked.

"We'll have to drive a Ferarri to the party." Max explained with a smirk.

"Really!? Where's the Ferrari?" I asked.

Maybe going to this party isn't such a bad idea.

"Now HERE'S the fun part," Jordon said.

"We have to "find" it. And by find, I mean steal," Max said.

Wait what!?
