Finding New Love

Chapter 3: My Saturday

"Hey." I say to Cris trying to catch his attention. All he did was turn his head to me then looked back towards the bottles aligned on the wall, sipping his cup. If I was sober I would've just walked away knowing damn well he doesn't want to talk but instead here I am, buzzed. So of course I'm going to continue bothering him.

"I said hey." I repeated more stern.

"Yeah, I heard." He said not even making eye contact. What a douche.

"Why can't you at least be polite and make small talk with me?" I say even more annoyed. There was a pause before he spoke again.

"Because I choose not to." I noticed him smirking as he said that clearly enjoying this. I decided to just not even try with this prick and order a drink, more like a shot.

"Shot of vodka please." The bartender quickly pours my liquor then hands it to me. I leave the bar making my way back to our table.

"Cris is an asshole." I tell Luke and Julie.

"Yeah, he's known for being one. Don't worry, he'll probably come around one day, he's gonna be hanging around more often."

Oh fun, I thought to myself.

Soon the event was over then we all went to our separate cars, Luke leaving in his yellow LaFerrari then Julie taking me back home. It is Friday today which means I'll be returning to work on Monday, we have weekends off. I kinda missed work cause I never know what to do on my free time. Being home after a long night felt great, I took a nice long hot shower like I always do then jump into bed, already feeling tired but managed to stay awake to watch a movie. But after the movie ended I knocked out.

I wake up in my bed still not feeling fully rested. I check the time, 10am. I force myself to get up then make some pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. I was about to call out Derek's name to tell him breakfast is ready but soon remembered and stopped myself. Life really sucks right now. I really need to get out and do something. I decided to call Julie to see if she wants to do something.

"Julie!" I exclaim.

"Hey girl, what's up?"

"I'm bored as fuck and have no idea what to do, any ideas?" I ask.

"Hmm, we can think of something, wanna head to my house right now?" She offers.

"Alright I'll be there soon." I end the call then head over there.

I head inside searching for Julie but instead, I see Cris hanging out on the couch playing gta 5. What the hell is he doing here?

"Hazel! I'm in my room!" I hear Julie call. I walk to her room not bothering to talk to Cris.

"What is asshole doing here?" I ask, referring to Cris.

"Oh, Cris? He's splitting the rent with Luke and I for now until he figures his life out a bit." Julie explains.

"True. So, what should we do on this uneventful day?" I question.

"Well," She starts, smirking at her idea. "Incredibles 2 just came out!!" She yells loudly like an overexcited little kid. Not that I'm judging, I've actually been keeping track of how many days are left on my calendar until the movie comes out. No shame at all.

We jump up and grab our purses then rush out of the door, most likely getting weird looks from Luke and Cris.

We arrived at the theater 10 minutes later. We got popcorn, drinks, Twix and nachos.

"I'm so excited!" Julie exclaims. I laugh at her suddenness of excitement.
