We reached home about an hour ago from visting my aunt ,laying on my Queen size bed and Glancing at the celing.
After some minutes of thinking I decide to call tori, she instantly picks up on the second ring
Hi Tori
"Hi, Amelia! You completely forgot about me since you moved to San Francisco and I bet you made new friends at crown lake"
Ohh come on tori you know I would never do that right, but I've got a lot to tell you
"I know I was Just trying to be a drama queen, so what's new"
Well I joined the cheerleaders and things are going out pretty great, the other time Xavier invited me to his party and the crazy thing is that we almost kissed
"Shut up Amelia you almost did what! "Tori screams through the phone
" but I thought you liked Holden have you lost interest in him"
Well, I didn't say I no longer like Holden I just feel that Holden is not interested in me at all and besides, he has a girlfriend.
"Well boo him why do you sound tired "
Nothing I guess am just stressed out "
"I've never imagined you as a cheerleader however I'm glad you're doing something you enjoy "
Yeah me too , Babes I'll call you back later bye.
"Bye bummy "
After I hanging up I decided to go downstairs and see what dad and ava are up too
"You are up sweety come over here and have some spaghetti that ava prepared '' dad mumbles
Sure I move forward to where dad is sitting.
" Am sure you girls know that today's the day we are having dinner with my boss and his family at 7 p.m. so be ready?" dad tells us
Okay, , no problem ava and I will prepare our family special!
A few hours later
I decided to wear my yellow dress which is something casual not too fancy tough I decided to straighten my hair and put on some natural makeup.
I head downstairs and find out that dad and ava already set the table up I help with putting some things that we're missing, ava looks pretty good she's wearing a black dress with some white patterns
"Alright girls our guests might be here any minute" dad tells us
Just after dad uttered those words a knock on the door is heard
"Ava why don't you check who's at the door while Amelia and I make sure everything is in place"dad lets out
"Sure let me just do that " ava says and heads towards the door while dad finishes the last touches.
some minutes later ava shows up with our guests and the people that come in view have me awestruck
Holden and his family are here, are they going to have dinner with us of course they are amelia what a dumb queen.
Dad would have at least tipped me on this one. Holden's dad and mum look exactly like they do on TV and they are here with a girl who's almost my age she's got a medium height and long blonde hair, she's extremely glamorous and looks like a model.
" How are you doing Mr Andrews am glad you and your family agreed to join us tonight this is my second daughter Amelia she's goes to crown lake and I suppose you've met Ava my first born daughter "my dad shakes hands with Holden's father
"Thank you Mr stone we are glad to join you and your family, I must say your daughters are pretty, And this is my lovely wife Catherine and my son holden accompanied by his sister Hailey, holden goes to crown lake as well am sure he and Amelia have met one way or another" he chuckles and looks at holden
Holden and I have most of our classes together I say while directing my eyes at holden
"That's wonderful to hear" Holden's mum says, she's got long blonde hair just like Hailey and green eyes.
Let's take our seats my dad offers we all head to the dining room and take our seats and begin to have our meals.
_______♧________
"Why don't you guys go and get to know each other more while we talk about business" my dad mumbles after we finish having our food.
Sure, follow me this way I tell holden and Hailey to follow me to my favourite part of the house the backyard where I relax when am having a bad day, well because ava Is probably somewhere in the house because I haven't seen her after we finished having dinner.
"So Amelia right, we didn't have a proper greeting introduction my name is Hailey and am Holden's sister we are almost the same age has he told you about me, "she asks
Nice to meet you Hailey well holden and I aren't that close, we only talk if we are having the same classes I tell her.
"Why is that so is it because of Jordi let me guess she warned you to stay away from him, "Hailey says, with a frown on her face.
That's not the case actually but Jordi also said something like that to me I mumble.
" you guys are talking about me while am just seated next to you, am I that invisible, Holden's speaks out "
Hailey and I both laugh at the same time.
"It's not like your going to do anything about it, I wonder why you haven't broken up with her yet," Hailey tells holden
"Hailey I told you to stay out of my business the last time I checked but it looks like you are only concerned with what's going on in my life "holden spits out.
"Whatever, so Amelia how long have you been to crown lake," Hailey says
I think it's almost 2months and a half now my family and I recently moved here from San Francisco I retort
"Ohh but do you like It there ?" She murmurs
Yeah I do like it considering the fact that most people aren't of my liking I mutter
"I agree on that one crown Lakes pupils are so haughty of course except you Amelia that's why I chose to go to prestigious high all the cool people go there you know" she blurbs
"Your school is full of lame people, that's why you guys even lost the football game "holden utters
" I wasn't talking to you ,I was talking to Amelia", Hailey rolls her eyes at holden and looks back at me.
Cut it out you two quit arguing like two-year-olds. I tell them we all stay silent for a bit and Hailey breaks the silence by asking me to take a photo of her since holden denied her request.
It's now time for Holden's family to take their leave, Hailey and I exchanged our numbers a while ago and we played some ludo, holden kept on winning so Hailey and I just gave up.
" Amelia I had fun spending time with you I think we should catch up later sometime," Hailey says and hugs me.
I hope so too I tell her while standing on the edge of the front porch only balancing sideways, I hear ava calling for me and as I was about to turn around and look at her I lose control of my legs and slip on where I was standing oh lord this can't be happening now I say to myself with my eyes shut.
I open my eyes, only to find out that I actually didn't fall down but instead am in between someone's arms who has a strong grip on me I peer up and see holden looking down at me I suddenly feel a fluttery sensation and my heart races faster I can tell am probably sweating on my forehead and I feel nauseous I accidentally puke on Holden's jacket, I know everyone's gaze is on us I quickly apologise to holden and I can tell from his face his awestruck I run into the house so that I shouldn't face any further, embarrassment and lock myself in the bathroom.
