Sweet Brown Eyed Beauty

Chapter 4

The next day, Alex had holiday classes in preparation for her final exams of 12th grade. She had left early, before I had even woken up.

Mum forced me to bring my books with me on the holiday so that I could work on my maths. I was the worst person in maths class and I was the second lowest in my class for maths.

I did really well in my other subjects: English, Biology, Drama and Geography. I was an average 'A' student in those subjects, but with maths, I could barely make a 50% and it was worrying seeing as I needed 70% to get into my dream university, so that I could study Marine Biology.

Maths just made me cry. Even when I tried and felt like I was getting the hang of it, the next equation would just slap me in the face and mock me with a nasty:

"Biiiiitch you thought!"

*****

After what felt like endless hours of mental abuse and torture, I heard a raspy voice shout out a greeting.

I saw her reflection in the huge mirror I sat in front of. She had her bag hanging off one shoulder and her beanie in her hand.

She came around and kissed me on my head. I felt my face flush as she sat in front of me busying herself with something to eat.

"How was your day?" She asked nonchalantly.

"Absolute torture!" I motioned to my maths book

"Yours?" I asked

"It was okay." She shrugged

I watched her eat, not really knowing what else to do. She had that hard stare when she ate. It was absolutely adorable! I shifted my attention back to my books, dreading every moment I voluntarily gave up for it.
Maths! Legit the work of Satan!

"We're going bowling tonight." Alex stated from her spot on the bed. "My cousins will be with too." She looked at me, probably remembering how awkward I was around them the last time.

"Awesome! I'm down for anything!" I tried to sound chilled, but I sounded like a nervous goat.

Tonight should be fun...if I don't die of embarrassment because I can't bowl to save my own fricking life!

*****

Night time came around and everyone seemed eager to go out. We all crammed ourselves into one car and blasted music. It put me in a giggly mood...I either tend to giggle and talk A LOT or be completely silent when I'm nervous but tonight it was just pure giggle mania.

Once we got to the bowling alley, we had to be searched before entering. I swear, I hate body searches! Like personal space yo! Moving on!

"She's hiding bombs in her pants!" I looked around with a 'What the fuck?' expression, only to find it was Alex who yelled it.

I rolled my eyes and looked away. I can see myself being kicked out, I internally laughed.
I mean, if I could get kicked out for jumping on a jumping castle for kids, this shouldn't be any different. Screw society and their age limits on astronomical, bouncy fun!

*****

So I didn't end up doing the best at bowling, like I had foretold, but Alex beat all of us and made us all look like amateurs. I still think that if she wasn't so hot I wouldn't have been so distracted and I would have won! If she wasn't moving that 'chiseled by God himself' body of hers all across the floor, maybe, just maybe...I'd have won.

I laughed a little out loud and I think everyone might have judged me for a few seconds. I blushed a little and turned away.

"What ice cream do you want?" Someone asked

"Huh?" I asked confused

"Ice cream." the voice said in a duhh tone which I soon realised to be Alex.

"Ooh...Uhm anything is chilled." I replied

I think I heard her say vanilla which I graciously accepted. I thanked her and took the cone but before I could even get it close to my mouth, my nose decided it needed a taste...

Great! I'm such a clutz!

"There's ice cream on your nose!" Alex laughed

"Thanks Captain Obvious!" I thought frustrated

"Let me clean it for you she smiled." She took my napkin and gently dabbed away the blob of cold, sticky sweetness off of my nose.

"Thanks." I said shyly

Great! That was like some super cliché Wattpad book moment! It was cute though, no lies...
