I haven't gotten any comments on the ship names. Please do so, I really want to know what you think about this novel. Well that's by the way, here comes chapter six
Alisha's POV
The remaining school days went pretty quick with the same old routine. Adrian took me to Macdonald's to make up for the lost days. How sweet. I'm currently lying on my bed reading a novel and it's really interesting gah!!!.. but it's still being updated, so I'll just follow it up. My stomach tells me it's hungry so I make my way to the kitchen to grab some food. My mom went grocery shopping and my dad went to work. I hardly ever see him again and it's frustrating. I take some home made muffin and make myself a hot chocolate.
"This house is so boring" I said walking into the sitting room. I pull out my phone from my back pocket and call Jeannie. She picks up after the third ring.
"Hey girl"
" Can you come over? I'm bored as hell"
"I'm kinda busy now. I'm babysitting my little sister, I'm so sorry"
"It's okay. I'll just call Adrian, bye"
"Bye" I hung up and dialled Adrian three times and they all went to voicemail.
"Great". I finished my meal, wore my neon green converse and left the apartment. I strolled down the neighbourhood and went to the next street. I was walking with no destination in mind, I just felt like stretching my legs. I was about to enter the third Street when I heard my name. Okay... Not really my name.
"Lissy bear!" I turned and saw Jordan waving furiously at me in a car. He was with his friends.
"Hey" I replied walking up to them while Declan parked the car.
"What are you doing here?" He asked placing his hand on the window sill and his chin on his hand.
" Just walking around, you?"
"We're going paint balling"
"Hi" Declan said. Jonathan nodded at me while Bryan looked out the other side of the window.
"Hi" I replied
"So...do you wanna join us?" Jordan asked.
"Nah.. I don't want to intrude. Thanks for the offer though"
"Oh puh-lease get in" he said and opened the door. I shrugged and entered the car.
"Can you play?" He asked with a cocked brow
"Very well"
"Great! We'll be on the same team. With Bryan too"
"No way!" Bryan and I shouted at the same time.
"Yes way. We're going to be on the same team. No arguments." Jordan looked at the both of us waiting for us to disagree again. Bryan mumbled something incoherent that got him a glare from Jordan, so he slumped back into his seat.
"This is not going to end well"
Well, it was just the complete opposite of what I said. The game went pretty well, great in fact. Bryan, Jordan and I on the same team, Declan, Jonathan and another girl were on the same team. And...none of our teams won. We still had fun though and grabbed ice cream later.
"Did you see Declan's face when you shot him?" Jordan laughed and nudged me on my shoulder. I laughed along with him, Declan's face was hilarious.
"It was priceless" I wiped a tear from my chin and scooped more ice cream from the bucket we'd bought earlier.
"I'm not gonna hear the end of it, am I?" Declan asked.
"Nope" Jordan and I replied. He rolled his eyes and continued eating his ice cream. Jonathan continued typing away on his phone not even touching the ice cream once. Sometimes I cant help but think that the guy was a sadist.
"I've got to go" Bryan announced
"Where to?" Jonathan finally asked
"Around. I'll see you guys later" with that, he left the booth.
"He's been acting weird lately don't you guys think?" Jonathan asked
"You hardly even pay attention to your surroundings, how'd you know?" Declan countered.
"Trust me, I pay attention and I know he's up to something" Jonathan deadpanned. I kept quiet 'cause none of it was my business. The guy could kill himself and I would care less. Trust me, I'm not always this heartless.
"We'll still find out or he'll tell us when he wants to. I'm sure it's nothing serious by the way" Jordan replied. Always the optimist.
"yeah sure, he'll tell us" Declan agreed. Jonathan shook his head and continued typing on his phone... again.
We left the place few minutes later and the dropped me in front of my apartment before they left. The front door was unlocked, which means someone was back. I opened the door and saw my dad sitting on the couch.
"You're home early" the fact that I was surprised was clear in my voice.
" Yeah, I haven't been spending time with you for a long time, so I cleared my appointments for the rest of the day to come back to you" he replied hugging me close to his chest.
"You made the right choice. I was planning on putting you up on e-bay for sell" he chuckled and flicked my nose.
"Ouch"
"That's for wanting to sell me pumpkin"
"Dad" I whined "I'm seventeen not seven. I'm not a pumpkin"
"You'll always be my pumpkin" he stated entering the kitchen and coming out again with a big bowl of milky popcorn.
"Let's watch a movie now, shall we?"
"Oh yes. Give me the popcorn dude" I said and snuggled up to him. He placed it in my arm and held me with his right arm, flipping through the channels with his left. My dad being my dad put pretty little liars. I wonder why he loves chicklit movies so much. He's a man for Christ's sake.
I woke up to the sun shining on my face. Uuuh! I forgot to close my curtain and it's so cold. Wait...how did I get here?. Dad. I wonder if he's still around. I quickly take a shower and brush my teeth and tie my hair in a messy bun. I chose a simple sunflower sundress and flats and went down stairs after picking up my phone and school bag from my homework table. Oh my God! I forgot to do my homework! I looked at the time and it was still 7:15 so I had 45 mins to reach school. Haa! I quickly do my English homework which was an essay then grab two granola bars and a banana.
"Sweetie" my mom called standing by the kitchen door.
"Good morning Mom. I'm off to school, love you. Bye" I said kissing her cheek and going to the front lawn to wait for Jeannie.
After five minutes, she drives up in front of my house
"Come on. I don't want to be late" she shouted
"Says the girl that come out late" I rolled my eyes and opened the passenger door.
"Whatever" she replied turning on the ignition and driving off.
"Thank God today is friday. I'm so happy I can stay bed throughout tomorrow. I hate school" I groaned as I came out of the car.
"Sorry about that but we're going shopping tomorrow" wait what?
" No no no. You don't get to spoil my Saturday nap. I'm not going for shopping with you. Not tomorrow" I said firmly as we headed for her locker.
"Please" she whined " I'm running out of clothes and accessories. I need new undies too! " she cried. Can't she just stay a whole week without shopping? I'm tired and I need my Saturday 4-hour nap.
"Fine 2 hours and I'm out"
"Thank you so much" she squealed jumping up and down.
"Annie" Jeannie immediately turned her head with so much force I thought it was going to snap. She flushed bright red when she saw Jordan.
"H-hi" she stuttered looking everywhere but him. Students gasped and some pointed whispering things I couldn't hear. But I'm really sure of what they're saying.
"Hi A-bear" he said to me and gave me a bear hug. Weird. I awkwardly pulled myself out of his embrace and gave him a small smile.
"What's up"
" Nothing, class? " he asked
" yeah...I just need to get my book" I replied. Jeannie closed her locker and we went to mine. I brought out my chemistry notebook then we went to class together before the bell rang. As usual, the class was empty. I just wonder why students intentionally wait till the bell rings for them to go to class. I mean what's the use when you can actually cone earlier and get the window seat...which is exactly where I'm heading to. I sat down by the window and Jeannie took the seat beside me while Jordan took the seat in front of me which I'm guessing he took so he could easily turn and look at Jeannie...whipped. I huff and rest my head on my desk hoping to catch some sleep before the class starts.
" So...A-bear, what are we doing tomorrow" I groan and ignore him.
" We're going shopping tomorrow" Jeannie replied and I'm pretty sure she was grinning from ear to ear.
" can I tag along?" That made me lift my head up like a flash. I mean which guy would willingly want to following girls for shopping!. Jeannie squealed saying a quick yes
"And why would you want to come? " I asked clearly surprised. I mean what the actual fuck?
"Can't a guy go shopping?"
"Yeah right" and then it clicks "Jeannie..." I said with a huge grin "Can he just follow you while I stay back home? Pleeeeeaaaaasssee "
"NO No no...that is so not happening. You already promised" she whined. The bell rang and students started entering the class. I rolled my eyes at her knowing I couldn't get away with it.After school, I went home did my homework the whole evening, had dinner and slept. Nothing special about my day. The next day being Saturday, I slept till 12:00 when Jeannie came up to my room literally dragging out from bed for shopping. Urrgh!...I'm so tired and my bones are still asleep.
"Alisha you need to hurry up! I don't want to shop late"
"Fine" I groaned walking to my bathroom. I quickly took my bath and brushed my teeth. I put on my pink hoodie and black ripped jeans then pulled my hair up in a messy bun leaving out some strands on my face. I put on a black and white nike.
" let's get this done with "
"Jeannie can't you just pick a dress? My feet are killing me here. We've been here for over an hour and you've picked nothing! Let's just go to another store" I said. We've gone through every cloth section more than twice! And yet she's picked nothing. I mean what the he'll is she looking for! My frustration was killing me. Jordan just sat in a bench kicking ice cream and some snacks he bought on the way. Why did he even bother cknjng with us again?
" I think you'd look nice in that dress " Jordan said to Jeannie, pointing at a blue dress that had a beautiful neckline and a low cut back with crisscrossed tiny straps. I was indeed beautiful and simple. I liked it.
"You think?...I wonder if they have the a white one. This may do though " Jeannie replied with a shrug and took it to the dressing room. I went to Jordan and sat down beside him waiting for Jeannie to come out. After like five mins...
" wow..y-you look beautiful Annie" Jordan stuttered. He eyes looked like they were going to budge out of their sockets and I saw his cheeks turn pink while he rubbed his palm behind his neck. Jeannie muttered a shy 'thank you ' and looked at me for a compliment. I gave her a huge grin and nodded after which she turned around with a wink and went back to the dressing room. She paid for the gown and we left to the neck store. After 2 hours, Jeannie came out carrying 4 bags which contained some lingerie, dresses, hand bags, heels and a trouser. I was carrying a back that had a new hoodie, an Adidas sneakers and a nice blue Jean trouser. Jordan came out with more food. The guy and food. I chuckled at the thought as we entered Jordan's car so he could drop us at our homes. Well, my Saturday wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
