VERONICA
"Finally,I have caught you alone."Hunter said smiling at me.
"what do you mean by that? It's not like I have been avoiding you or something."I said faking a laugh.
"I know you are avoiding me."He said with a serious tone.
"And why will I want to avoid you?"I asked mirroring his expression.
"I guess it's because you don't want to give me your house address."He said with a shrug.
"Fine, to be sincere I have been avoiding you and it's because I don't want to give you my house address and please don't ask me why."I replied.
"Just give me your house address besides it's not like I want to rob you or something, I just want to come over to pick you up for the party." He replied with a frown.
"Okay,I give up but that's the only reason I'm giving you my address and I don't want you sharing it with any other person. please don't come to my house apart from the day of the party." I said and gave him my address not sure if I was doing the right thing by giving him that.
"Thanks a lot dear and trust me, I won't share it with anyone."He said as he winked.
"Hmmm."I replied with a nod because I don't actually know what to say to him.
After school,I went home and I haven't told Sam about Stephanie and Liam but I'm sure it will break his heart and it won't be nice at all.
------------------------------------------------------
This week has almost come to an end.
It was kind of slow but today is Friday and I didn't forget I have a party to attend.
I finally told Sam about Liam and Stephanie and his expression was not pleasant at all because his always happy face turned to a very sad one and he didn't say anything meaningful throughout that day.
I actually felt guilty because I can't stop thinking that Liam took Something Sam wanted and I know it isn't true because I believe that Liam wouldn't have dated Stephanie if he was aware of Sam's crush.
Well,he is my best friend and I feel he deserves all the love and happiness on Earth but there is nothing I can do about it.
Besides,I don't think Stephanie was aware of his feelings since he didn't tell her.
Liam doesn't know about the crush either so I can't blame anyone.
Anyway,that issue is over for now.
I reminded Sam of the party but he just replied with a simple "Okay,just be careful." he didn't even give me the usual long lesson or should I say preaching that he normally gives me whenever I want to make a decision about something and that was when I knew that the information I gave him kinda broke him but he will heal.
It's just a crush so it won't take long before he forget about her.
I hope.
Before school was over, Hunter met with me and told me that the party is by 8:30pm so he is coming to pick me at 7:30.
"Okay,no problem."was what I said and I left.
"Veronica,"I heard someone call my name so I turned to see who it was.
Oh God this is what I'm avoiding.
It's not as if I don't like Steph but I'm not ready to create any close relationship with anybody right now and obviously not even her.
"Hi,"I told her as I stopped walking.
"Hi,"she replied with a smile as she got closer to where I was standing. I wonder why my brother is even dating her.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bitch but you are free to think I am.
I just really don't like this girl and it's not because of Sam or anything but I just don't think we will be able to flow with each other.
I mean, I doubt we even have anything in common.
Liam normally date and like girls that are blonde so I don't know why he is dating Stephanie who is a brunette.
where did he even meet her ?
"So,where are you headed to?"she asked me.
"Home."I replied without really paying her a glance.
"Oh, you are going alone?" She asked me.
"I'm not sure but I guess it's Liam that's coming to pick me." I replied even though I know fully well that it's Liam that is coming to pick me.
"Okay,see you tomorrow then."She smilled then walked away.
"Alright."I replied and waved at her.
Thank God.
At a point I thought she was going to say she wants to join me and Liam in the same car and that would have been really awkward.
Why don't I feel comfortable with the fact that she is dating my brother? maybe it's because she is my classmate and not my friend.
I walked out and headed to the school parking lot.
when I got to the school parking lot,I waited for about a minute before Liam came with his blue sport car to pick me from school.
I put on the radio when I got into the car and they happened to be playing I NEED TO KNOW by Doja Cat and it's one of my favorite songs of hers so I listened and hummed along with the song.
I and Liam didn't chat much because I actually wasn't in the mood to talk.
I just wanted to get home and rest a little before preparing for the party.
After some minutes,We got home and before Liam got upstairs I called him and asked him where he met Stephanie.
He seemed surprised because when he introduced her to me the other day I didn't seem happy and he noticed it but when he asked me what was wrong, I told him nothing and since then we haven't spoken about anything concerning her.
"At a friends party"was his reply before he asked me why I asked.
"Nothing, can't I just want to know?"I replied before going upstairs to my room.
I checked the time and surprisingly it was already 4:00pm because we usually finish late at school on Fridays and I think it's because of the coming weekend.
I tried Sam's number but it was switched off so I just left a message.
I changed my clothes but I didn't take my bath.
I'm so not in the mood for a shower right now.
I quickly went downstairs to the kitchen and took some chips and orange juice. I'm kind of craving pizza though.
"Liam, should I order pizza?"I shouted.
"Yes"he replied but his reply was muffled and I guess he was taking a shower.
"Your treat."I shouted again.
"when is it never my treat?" he replied and I can imagine him rolling his eyes right now.
"I love you."I shouted and giggled before taking my phone and ordered Pepperoni pizza.
I returned to my phone while eating my chips then my phone rang and it was Hunter.
why is he video calling me?
I received the call when he called the third time and I was sure I looked presentable.
"Hey,"I said feeling uncomfortable.
"Hi,"came his reply with a grin.
"so, what's up?"I asked him as I dropped my pack of chips on the couch beside me.
" I just wanted to remind you about the party,
I hope you haven't forgotten."
"I haven't." came my short reply.
"Don't forget I'm coming to pick you at 7:30 and wear something sexy."He said with a smirk.
I felt my face heat up as I blushed.
"And who said you have the right to tell me what to wear? I will wear whatever I like."I said with an eye roll then I heard the door bell.
"Okay, I have to go now."I said as I ended the call and made for the door.
It was the delivery guy as I assumed.
I thanked him, signed up and collected the pizza as Liam came downstairs wearing a Polo and short.
I settled down to devore my pizza which I and Liam combined with the left over Ice cream in the freezer.
After few minutes,I went upstairs and took a shower to prepare for the party.
