Lil Shattered Universe

chapter 2

"Um... Y-yes I love ice cream, I mean who doesn't" okay this is weird.
Did I just embarrass myself. Shit this really is awkward.
I could bet he realized cause now he had that smirk on his face. You know the one that says 'I know the effect I have on you'.

"What do you mean who doesn't? Only kids and immature grown ups like ice cream" wait, did I hear that right? Has this guy ever tasted an ice cream before.

"Is that to say that you've never eaten ice cream your whole life?" My voice came out louder than I intended it to.

"What does it matter, am not a kid" he shrugged moving to the yogurt section.

"I don't know about your childhood, but I can already bet that it was deadass boring" I continued to look for the ice cream. I found it in a few.

I joined Vic and the others at the cashier and that's when I realized that the cute guy was among the friends. How come I didn't see him earlier. If only I had looked at them.

We soon paid for the snacks and were on our way to Dave's place. The boys were busy arguing about some football match while Vic and Dave had their hands all over each other. How are they even comfortable walking like that on the streets. Everyone was throwing glances at them but they didn't even notice or maybe they just didn't care.

Cate and Blake were holding hands as well so I assumed they were dating. Cate seemed to be talking about something to Blake who happened to have no interest at all. His eyes were fixed on me the whole time and I couldn't help but feel a lil uncomfortable. He looked so perfect though, I wonder why he thinks that only immature people liked ice cream. I made a mental note to ask him the next time I got a chance to talk to him.

Ace and Brian were still discussing football and no one even seemed to notice me well except Blake who kept throwing me weird glances.

At this point my mind drifted back home to my mum. I missed her so much its been almost a week since I gave her a call. I should really call her soon else she'll get all paranoid and start worrying about me. My dad and I were not close I doubt he'd even be expecting my call.

Dad was always busy and rarely at home. I only got to see him during the weekends which played a big role on us drifting apart. My mother was a house wife so she had always been around when I needed her. Being an only child was boring not to mention having a paranoid mother who would never let you go out.

All my childhood I was never allowed to go out with the other kids but that didnt mean I wouldn't invite them over.

It was a great relief to finally be away from home. It made me feel grown.

Now that I was away from home I wondered what my mum was doing. The last time I checked she was planning on opening a boutique. She has always had a thing for fashion and design but dad always insisted on her staying at home and taking care of me. Now she had her chance to start her own business cause at the rate at which my dad stayed away from home I had lost all hope of ever having a sibling.

"Shit" I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I almost tripped.

"You can't even watch where you're going" that sounded like Blake scolding me. I didn't even noticing I was walking so close to them and Cate.

"I was just distracted" I said rolling my eyes. He was suppose to be watching his girlfriends steps not mine.

Cate was giving me an irritated look. What could be her problem. Its not my fault that his boyfriend is not into whatever she was saying and is weirdly watching me.

Finally we were at Dave's place. My ice cream had started to melt so I got it out of the shopping bag and sat on the couch.

Mmm.. I missed this feeling, I regret buying a 250ml feels like I needed more.

"Omg Tess don't tell me you didn't get me an ice cream" Vic whined sounding like a two year old.

"And how was I supposed to know that you wanted ice cream" I thought she saw me pay for it she'd have remembered if she wanted one.

"Can I please have some" I was not about to share this when it wasn't even enough for me.

"Not a chance Vic" I gave her my best smile wishing she'd read the 'please go away' in it but who was I kidding.

"Come on bestie" now she had her deceiving puppy eyes on.

"Jeez Vic, can you not be so annoying at times" I gave in after all. The boys were already getting irritated.

Dave had the movie on and everyone else was quiet and busy staring at the screen.

In like thirty minutes I was already feeling bored. Who even chose this movie. But it looked like everyone else was enjoying it. Their eyes were fixed in the screen. I guess I'll just have to pretend that I was enjoying this for forty more minutes.
