It's Not Meant To End (WayHaught Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Nicole was grounded for a week. Apart from worrying her parents for not getting home, Nicole had also been drinking. They were pointing out that just because she's sick did not mean that she could get to do those things without their permission. Not that it would matter anyway. The younger redhead only learned to let it go. Being an only child helped her of that.

As she lay down tired on her bed, Nicole's mind drifted to the events that happened the night before. Memories becoming more and more vivid as she looked through.

"Wow, that's..." Nicole swallowed a shot of Whiskey down her throat. The liquid warmed her chest.

"First time, huh?" Waverly eyed her as she took the shot glass from Nicole. "I really doubt it had taken you 'til senior year to have yourself a shot of Whiskey."

The redhead laughed and replied, "Well, I've never been this drunk before, so you have that."

Nicole and Waverly were in the latter's bedroom, sprawled on the wooden floor cross legged. The brunette's bedroom wall was painted pastel pink and there were a lot of boyband posters posted around. On one corner, there's an altar of trophies from cheerleading and a lot of medals and ribbons Waverly had received since kindergarten. She even had a sash saying "Nicest Person in Purgatory" hanging around a mini-sized Teddy Bear.

"Mm, yep, you strike me as someone geeky," Waverly went on as she gulped down another shot.

"Really? Why do you say so?" Their toes were now touching and it sent amazing vibrations towards Nicole's core.

"I dunno... You're always in the library, sometimes reading academic books, sometimes comic books when Jeremy's around... you wear printed shirts with Bazinga! on it. I don't even know what band that is. And Wynonna told me you always ace all your exams," Waverly explained, pouring another shot.

Nicole widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't know Waverly noticed her like that. So is Nicole still Waverly's crush?

The redhead leaned her elbow on both sides as she looked at the brunette. "Reading comic books does not make you a geek at all. Bazinga! is not a band.. It's Sheldon's expression on a famous tv series The Big Bang Theory and it's super cool, I'm surprised you haven't seen it... And I don't always ace our exams. I once got a B+ one time... You, on the other hand, are always the top of junior class as what I've heard..."

Nicole thought she saw Waverly blush for a moment as their eyes stared at each other. The brunette immediately looked down as she let out fits of giggles. "I have to... So I can get a scholarship after high school... Wynonna's not really much into College... and I don't really want her to think that she had to work while I leave for that..."

"I'm sure Wynonna would be proud, Waves," Nicole said. "I think she's really proud of you right now. You're also head cheerleader... I mean total cliche, really... but true... Beauty and brains."

Waverly was fully red, probably because of the drink, Nicole thought. She shoved another shot into her mouth before she replied. "Stop it, the school just had no other choice. My best friend Chrissy is better than me... I bet she'd be voted as one when Steph wasn't in the team. Steph hates Chrissy-"

"Chrissy as in the Sheriff's daughter?" Nicole asked, trying to straighten up.

"Yep, they had some disagreements with Steph about who gets to date Perry, a boy from our Chemistry class," Waverly went on, emptying the last drop of Whiskey into the glass. She offered it to Nicole but Nicole only shook her head.
