Maya giggled and hoped on my bed.
"What's happening?" She asked, poking my ribs.
"Stop poking me." I whined and Cameron kept the bowl on my bed then left Maya and I alone.
She stopped poking and lowered her gaze to my bed. The happy mood dropped and I wondered if I was too rude when I asked her to quit the poking.
"What's wrong?" I asked, sounding a little worried.
"Nothing." She shrugged. "Just- it's nothing serious."
"Maya... Please." I shook her lap. "You can tell me anything."
"Well, there's something coming up." She started. "I don't think you can go after what happened, but I came up with a crazy idea yesterday."
"What idea?"
"Maybe if you attend today's party, you might bond with Andre or make Bellamy jealous by frolicking with him."
"Nice..." I stroked my chin and a smug grin was etched to my face.
The disco light flashed different colors and the place whirled. I blinked once, twice and thrice before holding my head in my hands. We stood in a circle playing the game of bite the bag.Half of the grocery bag had already been cut out. It was my turn to pick the bag with my mouth so I stepped into the middle and sucked in a sharp breath before stretching my arms and going over to were it was seated.Slowly, I bent with my hands behind my back and tried my possible best to pick it up without using my hands. The moment my lips came in contact with the bag, I bit the bag and lifted it off the ground."Ay!" The crowd went wild, cheering for me.My head swole and I brushed off invisible dust from my shoulders. A tall dude collected the bag from me and cut a small piece out before placing it on the ground.Andre was next and he stepped into the middle."Go Andre, that's my boo
"Where the hell am I?" I stood up from the bed and picked up a book from his side table, shoving it in front of him as he attempted to come close."Calm down." He whispered, glancing at the door and back at me."Why should I calm down?!" I bellowed looking down at my body. "Where are my clothes?"He knelt on the bed and stretched his two arms in the air in an attempt to calm me down. "Jade, chill. They are in my wardrobe."The moment he said this, I raised my head up and noticed he was shirtless and wore sweat pants for the lower part of his body."Why the hell are you naked?" I frowned and hastily touched my body. "Did you-"
Andre and I sat on the table my best friend and I usually ate lunch, chattering and giggling. I glanced around the hall and couldn't make any of the faces I saw to be that of Maya's. She had developed the habit of coming late to the cafeteria which was unlike her."Babe, what do you think about this?" Andre tapped my shoulders and showed me a picture of a girl sitting on the floor in her undies and her tongue was out in a crazy style."Seductive, I guess." I puckered my forehead and wondered why he showed me the picture of a half naked brunette. Wasn't I supposed to be his girlfriend or something? "Why?""Oh, her photo got leaked today." He stated, scrolling through his Instagram feed."Are you for real?" I widened my eyes and collected his phone to scroll back to the picture. "She looks familiar.""Oh, yeah. She schools here.""What's her name?""Lo-"
I laid in bed on my sides, watching as lightening illuminated my room and a thunder clap followed after I did a count down from ten to one. The rain fell pitter patter on my ceiling and matched the beating of my scared heart.Why was I scared? A whole lot of things were on my mind. First thing was Maya leaving me for England and me having to deal with my problems alone.I sighed and faced my ceiling with my hands interlocked on my chest. Could my life get any worse? Another lightening flash accompanied by an angry thunder clap shook the house and made me jerk. If only Tristan was here to sing the thunder buddy song with me. Who was I kidding? He was probably on his bed, sleeping and snoring as loud as a cow.Suddenly, I fe
I rested my back on the bench that was beside the principal's office and tapped my fingers impatiently on it, waiting for Andre to come out from the place I dreaded. I hated going to the principal's office, my reputation was something I never wanted to spoil. Well, the dare thing tarnished my image already.I crossed one leg over the other and glanced around with my lips pursed. The principal was a quiet man, but had this 'don't mess with me' aura around him. I could hear voices in the office and it seemed like they had summoned their parents.I held my head in my hands and maybe this rebound thing was a bad idea. My conscience judged me everyday for wanting to use someone to give me happiness without thinking about his feelings.The sound of the door pulling open jerked me back into reality
Maya and I laid lazily on my couch, watching Ted over and over again till we became tired. Most of the time, Tristan and the thunder buddy song raced through my thoughts. I hadn't been seeing much of him since he saved me from taking a blow.I grabbed the remote and changed the channel to Nickelodeon. My eyes brightened when I saw SpongeBob on screen. Even if I was eighteen, SpongeBob was definitely a cartoon I'd never stop watching. How could anyone be like SpongeBob? He was very annoying and didn't know when to quit, but I still loved him."Did I tell you Tristan came over one rainy day?" I broke the silence, turning my head to face Maya."Nope. He did?" She frowned her face and met my gaze.I sighed and laid upside down on the chair with my hair all over the place."Yeah and he wasn't bad of a company." I stated, trying not to let the fact that Maya would be leaving tomorrow weigh me do
My emotions were all over the place when I reached Tristan's house. I faced the door with both my hands shoved in my pocket before taking a deep breath and pulling one hand out to rap on the door–there was no response. I rapped the second time and still got nothing so I decided to let myself in. Hopefully, Tristan wouldn't kill me for this."Tristan?" I called, shutting the door behind me.I took a gander at the gigantic place and wondered how Tristan stayed alone in a house this huge. His parents were usually busy and I figured they went on business trips a lot so he must be really fearless.Slowly, I climbed up the stairs with my eyes wondering around the place. What if a ghost should appear in front of me? Boy! I would faint."Tri
Lola upraised her head in a dull manner and her Amber eyes lingered on my face before dropping to my shoes."Hi?" I repeated, waving my hand in front of her face and squatting beside her."Hi." Dry toned Lola who focused solely on her chips and ketchup."May I join you?""What do you want from me?" She snapped as if she was slightly irritated."I just want to be friends." I sat beside her and tilted my head, admiring her rich chocolate hair."You saw my nudes and you want to ask if I'd like to be a pornstar or a call girl right?" She asked without raising her head from her tray."What?" I scrunched up my face gazed forward. "No, way. Have they been asking you that?""A lot. Some boys even hit me up on Instagram, asking me to send them nudes and wherever I pass, I hear them gossiping about me." She rubbed her face with one hand in frustrati
