"Guys, you wouldn't believe what happened." Amanda said.They were on a lunch break, it was the same day Parker made his stupid proposal. Amanda toyed with her lunch, thinking about what he said."Give the gist girl, what's up." Emily said.Amanda related all that had happened to them. Thinking about it now, she couldn't understand why Parker would propose an idea in that manner. Did he really think she was cheap and easy to sway?"To be honest, this guy has got some boldness." Emily said, stabbing her chicken."I agree. But Am, are you going to be his date for prom?" Leslie asked."To be honest girls, i don't really know." Amanda said."You can't be considering it. Remember what we talked about on our way from the concert, don't let this guy take your mind. He's not good for you."Emily said."She's right. I totally agree with her on this one. Parker is a no no and the earlier you run away from him, the better for you darling." Leslie said.Amanda knew they were right but everytime sh
So far so good, Amanda had been enjoying her conversation with the Jeffersons. The Jeffersons children were so funny and down to earth. Not one moment had she felt awkward and left out of the conversation. Asides this, Mr and Mrs Jefferson were also fans of the boy band, the same people Amanda and Emily went to for their concert."Oh, you attended the concert?" Mr Jefferson asked."Yes sir, I did. I'm a really huge fan", Amanda said."That's awesome. Me too." Austin said.Austin was the Jeffersons second son and an elder brother to the twin girls who were only eight years old. He had salt and pepper hair, just like his father and when he smiled, he had a cute dimple at the side of his face."I've been a loyal fan since I got to know them. Wait till you meet my friend, Emily, she's a die hard fan." Amanda laughed."The boy band just have a way of infecting you with their good vibes." Austin said.Later on, more guests arrived at the Jefferson's new home bearing gifts and well wishes. A
Amanda and her parents spent another hour at the Jefferson’s before calling it a day. They left soon with much appreciation from them. Just before she left, she exchanged numbers with Austin who promised to keep in touch. He seemed like a fairly nice boy hence her main reason to give him her number.They got home soon and Amanda retired for the night. To say she was tired would be an understatement, she was sleepy coupled with the fact that she had to get up on time for school tomorrow. ‘’Bed so soon?’’ her mother asked.‘’Yes mom. I’m exhausted.’’ Amanda said.‘’Aww. Do take some rest honey.’’ her father said.‘’Will do but first not without taking some ice cream.’’ she grinned.She chuckled, making her way towards the kitchen. There was nothing like a bowl of ice cream before you slept. Grabbing the bowl from the fridge, Amanda served a healthy portion in her bowl before making her way upstairs. Her parents remained in the living room, talking about their work and everything they n
At the school the next day, Amanda was prepared to ignore every one of Parker's or Ian's attempts to make her feel miserable. All she wanted to do was get by her day without bothering about anything that might happen.‘’Hey babe.’’ Emily called.Emily was the only one bold enough to shout in the hallway. The teachers had cautioned her several times but Emily never seemed to listen. ‘’Hi.’’ Amanda grinned.‘’Oh look at you. All shiny and beautiful. What’s your secret? Do you have a boyfriend now?’’ she grinned.‘’Oh please you know i don’t.’’ Amanda laughed.They made their way towards the lockers in preparation of their first class of the day. They had the first class together, all through the day. ‘’Well I hope you do. You know, you and Parker would be really good together.’’ Emily chuckled.‘’No can do. We would never be good for each other.’’ Amanda snapped.She didn’t want to hear anything concerning him. She was ready to face him if he so much as gave her any troubles. Amanda k
The next morning at school, Amanda couldn’t wait to tell her friends all about Parker's text. She had no doubt that he was the one behind the account. It just screamed his name no matter how much she thought about it.‘’Hey baby girl.’’ Emily called.She walked towards her, giving her a high five. Amanda smiled just as Leslie walked towards them with a small smile on her face.‘’Les. What’s that smile on your face? You finally have a boyfriend?’’ Amanda joked.‘’Tell her Les or i would do it.’’ Emily laughed.‘’Tell me what?’’ Amanda said with a confused expression on her face.‘’Later but first, let's talk about what’s got you all bubbly.’’ Leslie said, effortlessly stirring the conversation back to Amanda.‘’I see what you did there but not that you won’t escape it. I’ll find out what it is that’s got you all grinning like a cheshire cat.’’ Amanda smiled.She proceeded to tell them everything that had happened and her suspicions that it might actually be Parker. Talking about it now
ParkerI couldn't quite believe that Amanda was willing to help me, despite everything I'd done to her. I felt so ashamed of myself for doing all those terrible things to her. She was the nicest person I'd ever seen and she didn't deserve any of the things I did to her.There and then, I decided to make it up to her. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I was quite confident that I would. Amanda didn't deserve all the garbage I made her pass through and I knew that in time to come, she might resent me for it which was something I was fully ready to bare.I made my way towards the school's cafeteria, badly in need of some food. I haven't had anything to eat since I left the house that morning and now, my stomach was protesting. I found a table at the back of the hall and I was happy at how secluded it was. It offered me the perfect opportunity to stay on my own. After taking my food, I made my way towards the table I wanted to sit and right before my very eyes was the queen bee,
AmandaHe was here, in the flesh. Parker was really here. I scanned the gym, looking for some of his friends but they weren't therre, probably too lazy to come.It's been a few weeks since we stayed together in the diner while waiting for the rain to subside. After that, we've been relatively civil with each other in school and now that I was just trying out the gym, it would a surprise I met him here too."Hi Amanda, fancy seeing you here." he grinned."So you think a girl can't go the gym." I teased."No, no. Nothing of such, just thought girls didn't like all these stuffs." He said lamely.He was making a fool of himself and we both knew but I didn't care because he looked cute doing that."Amanda, I'll be in the car if you need anything.""Yes Aunty, I'll be out in a bit." i said as my aunty left the gymnasium."Aunty?" a guy with salt and pepper hair who stood beside Parker blurted.I hadn't noticed him standing there because all my eyes were on Parker and how handsome he looked.
Parker"You know that girl?" Dylan asked After our workout session, Dylan decided to follow me back home. Of course, my home was he's just like he's was mine. There was absolutely nothing he didn't know about me, he's been with me through my good and bad days. I didn't want to hide Amanda from him because if he was in my shoes, he wouldn't do that."This might sound crazy but I do. We met in school and let's just say I tormented her a lot and since then, I've been unable to keep her out of my mind." I said.Dylan had just stepped out of the bathroom and his hair was dripping all over my carpet, turning the red colour to a deeper one. Dylan never learns, times without number I told him to always dry his hair in the bathroom but he prefers doing that in my living room."Do I see a relationship soon?" he chuckled, throwing his wet towel on my face.He made his way to the kitchen, apparently looking for something to eat. The half empty pack of cereal i left this morning was still lying o
