Friends with Mr popular

Chapter 3

Reece's POV

I'm walking out of school towards the carpark when I hear a girl's soft angelic voice call my name. I turn around and see the beautiful blonde running towards me with a big grin on her face.

How does she know my name? She knows me?

"Hi" she breaths heavily once she reaches me.

"Uh hey" I stutter a little blinded by her beauty.

"So umm, I just wanted to see if um, maybe you can...give me a ride home?" She questions looking nervous and avoiding eye contact.

"Uh yeah I guess" I say and we begin walking towards my car.

I opened the door for her, she smiled getting in and I walk around to the driver seat. I start up my car and pull out of the school gates.

"So uh which way?" I ask keeping my eyes on the road.

"Take a left at the next stop, then all the way down, left again"

I nod and drive in the direction she gave me.

There was an awkward silence the whole ride home, so when I finally pulled up in front of her house I decided to break that silence.

"So wh-"

"Thanks fo-"

We both spoke at the same time and she let out a nervous laugh. I smiled because her laugh has that effect on me already.

"Sorry I was going to say thanks for the ride home" she speaks softly.

"Your welcome, I um, I live close from here anyway" I stutter a little suddenly feeling nervous talking to her. Why am I feeling like this? She's just a girl and Reece Wilder never stutters when it comes to girls.

"Well I really appreciate it" she smiles and opens the door slowly stepping out.

"Wait, you never told me your name?" I ask before she walks away.

She turns back and smiles. "It's Andreah".

She turns back and walks up the few steps and into her house. I smile feeling happy that I finally can put a name to that pretty face.

I drive in the direction of my house, once I park along the curb I run inside because it starts raining out of nowhere.

Andreah's POV

Oh my god, I can't believe he gave me a ride home, I mean I thought for sure he would say no or get away from me weirdo but he didn't. I feel a lot more confident so I call Roxy and tell her the exciting news.

"Oh my god, I'm so proud of you, you actually spoke to him and you got a ride?" She squeals happily into the line making me move the phone away from my ear.

"Yeah I know I feel really excited and I think maybe this can work"

"Good for you babe so whe- oh crap my moms calling me for dinner, I'll talk to you later, love ya bye!" She hangs up before I get the chance to say bye, but that's a normal part of our phone conversation anyway.

I open my drawer and pull out some comfortable house clothes, I take them with me to the bathroom because I wanted to take a shower.

I slip in letting the warm water fall against my skin, getting goosebumps from the sudden heat compared to the weather outside.

I got out and dried my body then quickly got changed and ran downstairs to greet my mom because she just finished from work.

"Hey mom" I greet happily when I spot her in the kitchen making a coffee.

"Hey honey how was school?" She asks taking a sip of her coffee.

"It was actually good, I talked to Reece"

"That popular boy you and your sister always speak of?" She asks suddenly interested.

I take a seat on the counter and say "Yes him, you see we were all playing truth or dare last night and I was dared to befriend him and well that's what I'm doing".

"Ok sweetie but just be careful I mean I hear you always say his a selfish jerk who treats girls like crap so just be careful around him" She says clearly looking concerned.

I stand up and hug her. "Don't worry mom I'll be careful, I promise".

The rest of the night was fun. The three of us had dinner, mom made chicken with creamy mushroom sauce and salad. We ate and talked about school, moms new job, and other things.

That night I fell asleep early getting good earned sleep.

The next day the sunlight shined through my window into my room causing me to squint when I opened my eyes. I glanced over at my alarm clock which read 7am. I got up out of bed and strutted towards my bathroom to take a quick shower.

Coming out of the shower I got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast.

As soon as I stepped in the kitchen I smelt the familiar smell of waffles.

"Morning mom" I kissed her cheek and sat around the bar.

"How was your sleep?" She asked pouring me some juice.

"Great actually, I slept like a baby" I said taking a bite of my waffle.

Just then Aly walked in looking grumpy, she took a seat beside me and demanded for some waffles.

"What's wrong honey?" My mom asked placing a plate of waffles in front of her.

"I have a huge test for today and I haven't even studied" She glumly speaks.

"Oh honey that's no good, what period is it?" My mom asks taking a seat opposite both of us.

"4th period" she responds.

"Well let Andy help you both have free period this morning don't you?" She asks looking at me.

I nod "Yeah".

"You'd help me?" She asks like she's having a hard time believing I would.

"Yeah of course I would, come on, let's get going" I stand up and we leave for school.
