I Love You (18+)

chapter 10: the party

Coral's P.O.V

I cannot believe that Blair Maddison. The hottest, sexiest, most perfect and popular and richest girl alive in Clearview just kissed me on my command. I was really thinking she was going to say something like "what the fuck, are you insane, get out"  or something around those lines. 

AHHHHHH!

I was internally screaming inside. You saw? That was me, internally screaming! 

I could not believe what just happened to me this morning. I mean it was already enough when she called me perfect but kissing me is a whole other chapter. That could mean something for the two of us...right?

I really didn't want to be doubtful but the doubts just can't help themselves sometimes. What if that whole kiss meant nothing to her? There's no way it can't right? I mean she didn't kick me out of her car after, we actually went to many different places around Clearview.

I tried and did things I've never really thought to explore before. We went to the local arcade, a boba tea shop, then we went to an extremely expensive and fancy restaurant that her dad owned personally called The Maddison Family Buffet. It was really popular and filled with only the richest people of Clearview.

I felt like a literal loser being around them. I felt poor being in there, but Blair paid for everything and she even made me feel like I belonged. I still owe her by the way, even if she refuses my pay back, I'll shove it down her throat later. This will not be like the me giving back her black shirt incident this time.

After the restaurant, we went to an abandoned place for some reason. I don't know, I've never trespassed on illegal property before and I wanted to feel the thrill so it was Blair's idea to go. Kayla would have been so proud of me at that moment and she was when I sent her a picture of me and Blair at the place. I was stepping out of my comfort zone like 20% now. It wasn't a lot but it will increase more gradually. It has to.

After, we went to the park and we got to know each other more. I got to understand Blair's life a little more. It wasn't all rainbow and sunshines as I thought. It was actually kind of sad. Her dad constantly abused her and her mom? Well, she died, and that made him act out worse.

Plus, after she came out to him, he became even angrier towards her. He was a seemingly perfect little happy businessman that appeared to love and care about people, but at home, he didn't really care about people. He barely even cared about his own daughter, and took a blow at her every time he got the chance. 

I felt even worse when she told me her mom and grandmother was the only support system she had in the family, and they both passed away. Her dad's dad, was just like him, even worse. She barely could even look to other people in her family because everyone only cared about themselves. 

She expressed that the softball team felt like the best family she ever had and she never wanted to leave the team. You've got to love the softball team. The only jocks I stand for. 

When she started venting, I started venting too. I told her why I started covering up my freckles at times and every heart breaking detail about my dad and even told her the good stuff. How I met Kayla. How I have a dog. We were connecting. We were understanding. We were bonding. Again. 

But, it was much different this time, and more meaningful. 

I never in a million years would have thought Blair Maddison would have connected to a loser like me. It was a miracle, like my middle name. I guess it was my middle name for a reason huh.
