Lets Make a Pact

16 - I'm Celia

Celia's POV-

      I had to break up with Jared, it took everything I had not to break down as I told him. I made sure to stay calm because this is how it had to be. We were so involved with each other that he was in my thoughts all the time, he was all I could think about. So we had to take a break not only from our relationship but from each other entirely.

"Mary a year without Jared is going to be hard since I've been with him all the time for 9 years so every time you see me look towards his locker, wear his clothes, even say his name I need you to slap me across the face-" I say and she looks at me.

"Are you serious?," She gives me a look which I return "your not kidding"

"No i'm dead serious I don't want to pretend he doesn't exist I just need to learn how to be without him, where he doesn't make his way into my head every 5 minutes" I explained, and she nodded.

      We walked around the mall eating dippin' dots before we get to the prom dress shop. It's maybe a month before prom, which is why I made the deal with Mary, because last year prom night was memories filled with Jared. We walked into the dress shop and started looking around before I heard my name being called.

"Well well isn't it slutty Celia" Sara smirked walking past Mary and I

"I will drag this bitch by her hair I swear to jesus" I groan and Mary elbows my side. We ignore her and continue to scan the racks. I find a strapless slim fitted blood red dress with a slit down the right side to show a little leg. I pulled it from the rack and showed Mary instantly getting her approval before helping her look.

      Sunday is my least favorite day of the week it's like the tease of days, like hey no school but you can't stay up late and you better not wake up with a hang over the next day. Not that I wold drink since I'm only 16, almost 17. I laid down on my bed texting Derek, he had finally come out and his life instantly become like a scene from a movie. He said that after he told Sammy he couldn't even say another word before Sam grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him. Possibly going in my top 3 of favorite couple moments, which had recently changed for the sake of my heart. My first favorite is the bird scene from the notebook, my second being Marcus asking Mary to prom last year, then my third is Derek and Sammy's first kiss. k,

      I woke up Monday morning with a groan I didn't want to wake up but I didn't have a choice. I rolled from bed and scrolled to my bathroom brushing my teeth and hair. I took a quick shower and pulled on a random pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I put on my tennis shoes then went outside. I had my license but never had a car until Christmas when my parents bought me Chevy cruise. I got in the car and started it up before driving to school. I got out and went inside heading to my locker hearing Mary holler my name. I turn around and see her stepping towards. me, when she gets to my she raises her had and slaps me.

"Ow what the hell Mary" I yell holding my face.

"I'm sorry but your wearing his sweats" When she says that I look down and laugh a little to myself.

"I honestly didn't even notice" I admit before opening my locker. I pull out MY hoodie and pull it on before grabbing my stuff for first period.

      I get home and go inside heading towards the kitchen. I grab a tub of cookie dough and get a spoon eating a spoonful, before I hear the door open then slam shut.

"Hello?" I ask before giving myself a face, "really Celia the homicidal maniac isn't going to say hello before killing you" I roll my eyes.

"No but I will" I hear Mary say making me laugh.

"Dude you couldn't call before coming" I ask

"No that ruins all the fun. So we making cookies?" I look down at the cookie dough then my spoon before shrugging. I walk over to the cabinet and get a cookie sheet pan.

"I mean we are now. We can get ice cream and make homemade ice cream sandwiches."

"Sweeeet I'll go get the ice cream. Rocky road?" I nod excitingly and she leaves the room. I roll the dough and place them all on the pan before sliding it in the oven.

"Put a little weed in those I promise it will taste even better" I jump before looking to the door way seeing Marcus. 

"Why doesn't anyone text anymore, shit Marcus what are you even doing here?" I ask

"Oh I don't have any classes for the week it's spring break baybee-" He exaggerates the word baby, "and I figured Mary was hanging with you so I just came here and saw her leaving figured I'd wait for her." 

"We are making ice cream sandwiches but if you have weed we can make a slight adjustment to the recipe." I give him a funny look.

"I don't but even if I did I'm not going to promote teen smoking." He says hoping onto the counter eating a spoonful of dough from the extra in the container.

       Mary had returned and we finished making the snacks and went up to my room. We ate and watched a few movies before Mary looked at me.

"Yo your parents are on a cruise why don't you throw a party?"

"I'll have to ask my mom" Which makes Marcus look at me.

"You can't do that" They both say as I hit send on the text.

"wait what?" I ask having not been paying attention as my phone digs.

"what did she say" Marcus asks and you could tell he was confused on why I actually asked.

Me- Hey can I throw a party I'll clean up after.

Madre- Sure sweetie make sure the house is back to order by the time we get home and that nothing is broken

"She said yes so Friday I'm throwing a party but the house has to be clean by next not this Saturday but the next which is when mom and dad get home." I say and they look at me again but this time with surprise. Finally I get throw a party.

      The next Friday came quickly everyone knew about my party which I had made a costume party. After school Mary and Marcus met at my house helping me set up putting all the valuables in my parents room locking it up. Marcus ordered pizza while Mary got her older brother to get us alcohol. I set up the kitchen before going upstairs to get dressed. I picking Lara Croft, Mary picked a mouse literally so she could quote Karen, and Marcus just said he can't disguise awesome. Around 10 people started to show up, the door was left open as people started to flood in music blaring through the stereo speakers. 

      Finally I had felt like my job as host was done I grabbed a drink making my way to the dance floor. I danced with Mary and Marcus before some guy came up and started dancing with me when we started talking.

"I'm Celia" I say my arms wrapped around his neck. He was a tall light skin with bright blue eyes. 

"I'm Andre" He says his voice smooth light honey.

"Well Andre nice to meet you" I smile and the music picks up again making us change the dancing pace.

       We danced for a bit before we went to the game room. We went to the pool table and he bet me my phone number that he could beat me. I laughed then shook his hand making the deal. The game started out slow Andre sinking a striped ball after I made the first move. After around thirty minutes I was winning, a crowd now gathered around. I only had 2 more balls then the eight ball before I won.

"Ready for this divine move Andre?" I smirk and he gives me a side glance then a mischievous smile.

"Go for it." He says before he rounds the table and stands next to me trying to distract me. I lean down and aim up my shot before knocking 1/3 of my last few into the corner pocket. I sho the next into the side pocket. I stood straight before scanning the table seeing which way I could sink the eight ball.

"Corner-" I say before I knock the white ball against the side of the table before I hit the eight into the pocket I called.

"Well then...." He says making his lips go into a fine line.

"This is my house kid I do this for fun." I say before taking out my phone giving it to him to put his phone number in. Even though I won I figured I'd give him the little victory.
