Her Sister's Best Friend 06
AIDENI fill a glass with water and take a long drink, trying to wash away the fog in my head. I always need a drink after a night out, and tonight had definitely been a late one. I definitely overdid it on the drinks last night. I take another long drink of water, trying to banish my cobwebs from my brain. Alcohol always does a number on me, and last night was an exception. The kitchen door creaks open and I know who it is without turning around. It is Bryan, my roommate and best friend. We share a house off-campus, and even though I am easily annoyed, I get along with him better than anyone else. We have been friends since high school, and I trust him completely.Bryan walks over to the sink and fills a glass of water for himself, then drains it in one long gulp. He turns to face me having a blank look on his face. "You are not going to tell me what happened last night," He probes. "What?" I ask, giving a half shrug. I know exactly what he is getting at, but I can't let him kno

OLIVIAI flip through the remaining pages of my biology textbook and realize that I have covered most of the material in a short amount of time. The corners of my mouth tug upwards. I deserve a pat on the back. Now, I can focus on the other classes I am taking.I have a habit of studying ahead in my classes, ever since high school. I have found that it is not only helpful for tests and exams, it also helps me to relax and have less stress. Plus I will be working part-time this year, so it is especially important for me to stay ahead. My family is not wealthy, but my father makes enough money to support us. Still, I have personal goals that I need to save for, like traveling to visit my mother in another state during our summer holiday. Since my dad can't help me pay for that, I need to find a way to earn money on my own.After school, I am going to start looking for a job, my first job ever. While I don't have any work experience, I am sure I can find something that is a good fit

OLIVIA"Nathan," I call his name, blinking my eyelashes rapidly. Imagine crashing into your crush like that. It is so embarrassing. I want to sink into the floor and disappear. I am sure Nathan thinks I am the clumsiest person on earth. But, I am not usually clumsy - just when I get nervous or restless which seems to be happening a lot lately. "Sorry, does it hurt?" Nathan asks, looking down at me. I reach up to touch my forehead. It is a little sore, but not too bad. I shake my head. "No, it does not really hurt," I reply. “Are you okay?” He questions. “You're a bit out of sorts.”“I am okay,” I answer. Even as I said the words, I know they are not entirely true. Physically, I am fine. But, mentally, I am a mess. I have so many thoughts and emotions swirling inside of me, and I don't know how to make sense of any of it. Nathan tucks his hands into the pockets of his denim jeans. His golden hair falls over his face, framing his handsome face. And damn, he looks like a model doi

AIDENIt is official. I am losing my mind. I can't even concentrate on soccer practice. All I can think about is the hazel eyed girl with the killer body. I think it is what they call an “hourglass figure,”. Whatever the body shape is, she has a perfect body that is driving me insane. Her beautiful face is stuck in my memory, and her image burns into my brain. I can't get her out of her head, no matter how hard I try. Her lips…I don't know why the memory of them is still so vivid, or why I can still taste them on my own lips after so many days.Even though I have never been the one to date, I have been with a lot of girls. I can get any one I want with no stress. I have always been able to get exactly what I want, when I want it. But Olivia, she is different. No one has made me feel the way she does. There is something about her that has me hooked, making me long for her. I can't stop checking my phone, hoping for a message from her.It has been days since I told her to text me,

OLIVIAI dig through my tote bag, double-checking to make sure I have everything I need.Lip gloss? Check. A book? Check. A Pen? Check.An earpiece? Check.Pleased that I have everything I need, I walk to my closet. I open my closet and grab a jacket to go over my sleeveless crop top. I need to look decent when I go out.Earlier in the week, I had noticed a small restaurant and I decide to go and apply for a job there since it is the weekend. It should not be too stressful - they only sell drinks and light snacks.I grab my phone off the bedside table, give the door a quick check to make sure it was locked, and head out into the living room.My sister is sitting on the couch, where she is engrossed in her favorite TV show. She looks up as I enter, her eyes traveling over me from head to toe. Then, a grin spread across her face.Maybe this is going to be one of rare days when my sister is not being her usual difficult self. One of those days she is actually nice to me. “So, who is th

OLIVIAIt is like the whole world has faded away. Nothing else seems to matter except for the two of us. All I want to focus on is him. Us. My eyes drop to his lips, they look so inviting, so full and plump. I can still remember how soft they were the last time we kissed. I don't like that the memory sends shivers down my spine. I hate how much power he has over me. The way he can make me feel so much with just a look or touch. I hate the fact that he knows he has that effect on me. It is as if he holds all the cards and I am just along for the ride.“What are you saying to that, Olivia?”His voice is like a caress, soft and inviting. I can't help but feel a tingle run down my spine.What's he doing to me? His words are piercing through my heart. There is this way he said my name. It is not the usual “Olive” I am used to hearing. He had called me “Olivia”, rolling the syllables off his tongue with a thick Italian accent.I have to stop this before I get any more caught up in him.

This is a mistake. Another stupid mistake. I don't know if I am born to make mistakes or something. I should not be here. I should never have come here. I should have stayed home, bury my head in my pillow and imagine a world where Aiden is not my sister's best friend. Things will be different if that world exists."Hey, are you okay?"Ashley's voice snap me out of my train of thoughts. My mind is in a state of turmoil. I don't know what to think. I feel like I should scream "I am not okay" at the top of my lungs, but I hold it in, trying to get a handle on my emotions.I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. "I am okay," I whisper back. “Don't worry, the movie is about to start,’’ She says, smiling at me. I just nod my head, and try to smile.It is Ashley's idea to come to the movie night and she has the best intentions, but now I am beginning to regret it. I feel like I should not have come here. All I can think about is Aiden, and how much I want him. The movie night is suppos

OLIVIA"Are you sure we won't get caught?" I whisper, glancing around at the dark school building. "That is the whole point of doing this - the thrill of taking a risk and breaking the rules," Aiden states, a sly grin playing across his lips. "Don't you feel the adrenaline rush through your body? The feeling that what you are about to do is wrong, but you want to do it anyway."Aiden is wild.He is crazy - crazy in the best possible way. First, he suggests we should break the school rules. Then, he says we should paint the art class building, which is totally against the rules. If we get caught, we will be in big trouble. I know this is risky too, but for some reason, I find myself going along with him. Maybe, Aiden is right. I feel a thrill knowing that we are about to do something wrong. Even though a part of me is scared of getting caught, there is another part of me that is proud to be different, proud to be a rebel. Everyone else is inside the hall, watching a movie. But I am o
