"Please can I go! dad I ask you for the hundredth time and you're no were close to changing Your mind".
"And why should I say yes kiddo," dad utters
I've been asking him if I can go at mia's place for a sleepover actually the main reason is because we are planning to attend Xavier's party later in the evening.
"Because am your favourite child" , I say with my puppy dog eye's and I promise to do whatever you tell me dad ,besides ava gets to sleep over at Stacey's but I can't go over at mia's ,Your being choosy dad
"Fine you can go kiddo but make sure you come back home straight tomorrow after school "
"Thanks dad you are the best ! "
I decided to call mia and tell her the good news we don't have school today because the school is being fumigated.
I just finished packing my bags and Am ready to get going, Ava's dropping me off at mia's ,
I haven't talked to Holden since the last time we had music class I just see him around school .
"Lia!! Hurry up what's taking you so long "says ava
"Am coming ava just give me a second" I make my way downstairs and find ava waiting impatiently for me
"Let's get going ,I have a movie date"
"Yeah yeah ava I get it" I tell her
I pack my bags in the car and get in , so ava I haven't told dad but am going for a party later tonight, Xaviers Hosting it don't tell dad .
''Ummm okay I won't tell dad but since when did you and Xavier start getting along , oh and lia am getting worried about you,you haven't eaten for two days now are you sure you don't want to see a therapist I think your condition is getting worse you know ''
"No ava I don't want to see any therapist I'll be alright ,I'll try to eat something at mia's" , I've got anorexia nervosa ,I've had it since last year I've been having difficulties in eating but I try by all means to eat something once in a while ,when I went to see a doctor he said it was due to anxiety no one knows this apart from my sister and dad
"You better do , or else am booking you an appointment with a therapist if it gets worse "ava informs me
The rest of the car drive was silent until ,I decided to turn up the radio
30 minutes later , I arrive at Mia's house its grand and pretty fancy I love the interior decorations and it's modern design ,Turns out blossoms also here ,Zack one of Xavier's friends invited her mia leads us to her room.
"Come on girls lets start getting ready I'll be doing your make up and choosing your outfits Lemme see what you guy's got "mia blurts out
''Okay Amelia I think you should wear the white long sleeved mini body con dress you'll look really good the outfit will bring out your curves '' mia instructs me.
"Then blossom I think you should wear your black sleeveless fit in dress too you'll look hot"
"I think I'll also go with my coloured strapped top and a matching short skirt "
Perfect now let's work with the hair so mia decided to braid my hair and it looks beautiful ,I look different with the braids and I love my make up it's actually natural we decided to head outside and take photos
As for Blossom her hair is laying low with waves she looks pretty with her short brown hair And her make up on point
And mia looks pretty ,with her long brunette hair laying down since she decided to straighten it.
I swear we look pretty ,we decided to post some photos on our instagram accounts and take more multiple photos
"Let's get going "mutters blossom
we grab our purses and proceed to the car as the chauffeur opens the door for us we all say thank and get in , Xavier's place isn't that far from Here says the location , I wish tori was here she loved partying I'll call her later to give her feedback
''It's boring in here can someone please turn on the radio '' says blossom
Mia turns on the radio and phobias by Johnny Orlando plays ,gosh I love this song ! we all start singing to it on top of our voices
I know it's probably in my head
But you got me checking under the bed for you
I'm a nervous wreck for you
I'm a little paranoid
And you know that I've been avoiding you
Baby, I'm a mess it's true
And I don't like falling 'cause I've never been good with heights
And not being right
But maybe I'm stalling 'cause I never made any time
For you and I
I've been hurt before, and that's why I close the door
Scared of the dark and broken hearts
I got phobias
I can't let you in 'cause I'm crawling in my skin
Oh, I've been scarred by broken hearts
I got phobias
I was drowning then
Turns out I was in the shallow end
And I had no reason why
Yeah, tossed and turned all night
Wish I wouldn't let the bed bugs bite me
I let nightmares run my mind
"Guys we are here !" Blurts mia
we see a black gate with a high fence covering the house ,The gate automatically opens the car proceeds inside ,and the view that comes in site is very beautiful
We see a big grey stone crest mansion with lights on ,this house is everything you'd wish for I guess mia and blossom where right by saying his family owns a fortune and billionaires
The chauffeur parks the car and we get out
Girl's we are finally here this house is heavenly beautiful wonder how it looks like inside,we make our way in and the place is crowed ,there are lots of people in and the music is too loud the decorations inside are Amiable there's a big sign saying let's get weird
someone offers us red cups the liquid in the cup has a strong scent I think it's alcohol , umm do you guys drink alcohol I ask mia and blossom
''No we don't but we only get to do this once it's a party taking one cup won't hurt plus almost everyone here is drinking'' utters blossom
"Let's find some where to sit" says mia we spot a couch that's empty but there's a couple opposite the couch and what they're doing is kind of disturbing ,they should get a room , I spot jordi coming our direction why do I always have to cross paths with her
'' look who we have here the lamest girls in school you guy's look horrible, who even invited you to this party I mean this party is for privileged people, especially not your black ass Amelia am sure you guy's just gate crashed ." Utters jordi.
Just as I was about to speak up ,Xavier comes in site and interferes
''Jordi don't talk to my guests like that, am the one who invited them , besides I didn't invite you, You're only here because you are Holden's girlfriend so mind how you talk to them .
jordi stomps her foot like a baby and walks out .
''Don't mind her ,You guys are welcome here and by the way you guy's look gorgeous am glad you made it" Xavier mouths
"Don't mention it Xavier ,your house is really nice " blossom blurts out.
"Thanks follow me this way am sure you'll be way comfortable in this room "Xavier holds my hand and shows us the way .
we follow Xavier down the hall it has a lot of doors besides it ,i wonder how many rooms this house has am feeling a bit nervous I think Xavier's notices Because he holds my hand tightly
He opens the door at the left as we head Inside the door there seems to be another party happening ,I see Caden and Holden with some other guys from the football team talking , on the other side is jordi ,chloe, Camilla and other members of the cheerleading team from school , I guess this is where jordi disappeared to,
"Come on here let me introduce you to my friends" says Xavier
"Hey guys meet Amelia ,mia and blossom" Xavier tells the guys from the football team.
"hey girls you look exquisite says one of the boys"
We say hi back and smile.
"You are welcome beautiful ladies hope you enjoy the party "one of the guys says I think his name Is zack Because he can't stop staring at blossom.
"Thanks" we say back ,mia sits next to caden and blossom and Zack sit together , I sit on the other side and wait for Xavier to come back he went to get some drinks
Holden comes and sits beside me
''Hey your look mesmerizing holden whispers in my ears '' his husky deep voice sends shivers down my spine
thanks I say to him while looking down at my fidgeting hands
"Why are you staring at your hands "Holden asks and he holds one of my hands I look up at him and catch him starring at me I gaze back at him instantly getting lost in his light blue eye's I can't help but feel butterflies why did he have to be this good looking, his making it hard for me to move on ,what his wearing matches with his eye's making him look even hotter
"Babe I missed you so much I was actually looking for you "says jordi as she sits on Holdens laps acting like she didn't see me next to him .
Holden doesn't push her out of his lap she gets closer to Holden and locks their lips together, making me feel deluded , he doesn't even bulge to push her out but instead kisses her back fevidly and pulls her closer to his chest.
I thought he wasn't going to give in we were just staring at each other a few minutes ago while he held my hand and now it's like nothing happened why does it matter his not mine nor will he ever be , his already dating jordi ,I feel something burning in my chest ,I stand up abruptky and find myself sitting by the stool at the bar side starring at the people present here
I guess everyone else is having fun I look at mia and see her laughing with caden those two look cute together , blossom is also talking to zack and they are deep in conversation then there's me looking lost .
"Hey princess am sorry I took forever I had to stop people from breaking things or else my parents would scold me " xaviers voice brings me out of my thoughts
My eyes almost bulge out their sockets after hearing xavier call me princess , wow seems like you finally found a nickname for me I utter
"Yes I did and by the way you look gorgeous I love your hair and outfit you surely look like a princess tonight"
"Thanks blue eye's you don't look bad either" Xavier's compliment doesn't make me flatter the like the way Holdens did .
He takes a seat next to me and we start talking about the game coming up though my attention is fully focused on Holden and jordi I can't believe they're still making out .
(Get you the moon by the moon starts playing by kina)and people starting dancing solo
"Can I have this dance princess" Xavier asks
"Yes you may but pardon me because I don't know how to dance so you'll have to teach me".
Xavier and I both get up and head to the dance floor
He puts his arm around my waist pulling me close to him I put my hands on his shoulder , Xavier and I are glancing at each other while his hand is on my waist and mine on his shoulders.
The song continues playing and Xavier sings to the lyrics
And if I could, I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
And if I could, I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
I don't why but it's only been 2 months and I am getting these weird feelings whatever they are the confusing part is that I don't feel the same way I do when am with Xavier than when am with Holden.
"What are you thinking about princess"
huh it's nothing to worry about it I mutter
Xavier eye's look intuitive we get lost peering in each others eyes
When the next song starts playing we sway to the beat and enjoy each other's company, I shut my eye's and see Holdens face , I brush it off and look up to Xavier who seems to be gazing back at me ,he leans in closer and my heart's racing fast my palms get sweaty because our lips are only inches away from each other I can feel his warm breath on my face,I am trying to move but my feet are glued to the ground , Xavier bends down to reach my height i can't believe this is happening! and just as I was about to finally have my first kiss ,The light's turn off ,the music stops playing and we hear noises from the other room both Xavier and I pull back at the same time ,
Xavier grabs my hand and we make our way to find a source of light we can barely see anything reaching the backyard the light's turn back on.
"Do you perhaps want to go back inside or ...."Xavier asks while scratching the back of his head
"Umm I think I should find mia we should probably get back home it's actually late" I tell him
the vibe between us just seems awkward now .
"Alright princess guess I'll see you tomorrow at school " says Xavier
"Yeah sure bye blue eye's! ".
