“Have fun, kiddos!” I grinned like an idiot as I waved wildly at them.
“I’m still older than you, baby sis!” Austin called out, pretending to be annoyed but the small smile on his face gave him away.
Kaylee just couldn’t stop smiling as she waved back at me before she and Tin-Tin got in the car and drove off.
They were on their way to their date after so much argument.
Kaylee didn’t feel like she deserved it after how she’s treated me in the past few years and Austin wanted to be a good brother after so long and not go out with my bully.
Ha!
But me being me, I convinced them that they did deserve this.
“Liv, you are going to the party and that is final!” Paige told me in her bossy tone. Her light brown eyes were full of seriousness. I swear, she is definitely Hitler reborn! “But I have homework!” I pouted. I didn’t really have any homework since I already completed it during my free period but she didn’t need to know that. I am a secret agent and I could never reveal my secret to her. So, I have to lie to her. It’s for national security! Lying to my only female friend was hard and soul-wrenching but it was a necessary evil. I had to do it… I just
“You look amazing, Liv! Just go! You can do it!” Paige encouraged me as we stood in a corner.The whole house was packed with people everywhere. Even in the pool at the back of the house.To be perfectly honest, this was more of a nightmare-ish hell for a claustrophobic person than a party…If I knew that high school parties were basically just loud music with drunk teens everywhere, I would have stayed at home with a big bowl of popcorn while watching some random movie.I could’ve drooled over guys who would never know that I exist!Wait… That’s kinda sad…But those guys are also too old fo
This is it, Liv!This is do or die!You have to confess now!You can do it, girl!Come on!“Ryan?” I tapped his shoulder to get his attention.He turned around and smiled when he saw me. His smile made me blush as I fidgeted with my hands.“Umm… I-I wanted t-to tell y-you s-something…” I mentally slapped myself to Jupiter for stuttering like a fool in front of him.Words, Liv! Speak words!And don’t you dare stutter aga
Okay this was more awkward than the time I went to my aunt’s wedding and ended up falling down with the chocolate fountain falling on top of me. I ruined a very expensive dress that day… But the worst thing was that chocolate was wasted… Poor chocolate! I cried for hours because so much chocolate was wasted… But this was more awkward as I sat next to Dan with Paige on the other side, giving me angry looks. I’m pretty sure that she would have thrown an axe at my head by now if the teacher wasn’t currently going on with the day’s lesson. And well, if she had an axe on her… After the whole fiasco at the party, I had run for the hills, pulling Dan with me so that he didn’t get the chance to tell people that I was lying… I managed to explain everything to Dan during the ride home and he promised to keep his mouth shut. But he did ask me to explain everything to Paige and to clear the mess up as soon as I could. He was afraid of Ryan kicking him out of the team somehow bu
How would you feel if you learned that your neighbour, the cute guy you had a crush on, knew all your secrets? Including the fact that you had a crush on him? And the fact that you lied to him and told him that you were dating your friend? And then that friend turned out to be a traitor too? And the guy you liked, who knew that you liked him, was dating the girl who bullied you for three years and was also a friend who left without any explanation! It was a mess but I had one word to describe it perfectly. Awkward. But I had the perfect cure for that.
“Liv!” I heard someone calling out as I skipped on my way to class. I turned around to find Dan rushing to me.Yes, I was skipping in the crowded hallway… Turns out, when you’re acting like yourself, being different from the rest, people just give way to your craziness. You just have to ignore the stares… Besides, I was in a really good mood because of that delicious burger I ate last night… And the ice cream after that… Food is life!“Danny!” I exclaimed. “Thanks for forgiving me!” He dryly said. Oh! He saw what I wrote over the loud art we did on his car!“You’re welcome!” I beamed up at him. “Are we cool now? For real?” Dan asked me. “Oh, we’re cooler than that ice-cream in Paige’s refrigerator!” I grinned. “Actually, that ice-cream melted because the refrigerator stopped working.” Paige interrupted as she emerged from the crowd. How did she know when to appear?She’s a magician!Or I’m friends with a real wizard… The second one makes more sense… “Now we have to get new
“Did you know that cotton candy is actually just sugar?” I asked Dan with tears in my eyes. “Umm… Yeah?” Dan replied nervously as he looked at me in confusion. He knew?! “Why didn’t you tell me?!” I cried out. Dan looked around at all those who were now staring at us with an apologetic smile. The only person he should be apologising to is me! He kept such a big secret from me! “Because I thought you already knew… Everybody knows…” Dan shrugged. “I didn’t know!” I wailed, making people shoot glares at me. People these da
“Liv, I’m so-” The poor guy couldn’t even complete the apology before he had a red handprint on his cheek.That’s gonna hurt…“How dare you come here to talk to her after what you did?” Paige roared.Everyone was staring but no one even dared to whisper… Or to take out their phones to record the whole mess…That’s how scary she was…“Paige, I-” Another incomplete sentence uttered by the boy who got slapped again.At least now both his cheeks looked identically red… That makes it a bit better, right?
“Have fun, kiddos!” I grinned like an idiot as I waved wildly at them. “I’m still older than you, baby sis!” Austin called out, pretending to be annoyed but the small smile on his face gave him away. Kaylee just couldn’t stop smiling as she waved back at me before she and Tin-Tin got in the car and drove off. They were on their way to their date after so much argument. Kaylee didn’t feel like she deserved it after how she’s treated me in the past few years and Austin wanted to be a good brother after so long and not go out with my bully. Ha! But me being me, I convinced them that they did deserve this.
“Umm… I think I’m ready to talk now.” Kaylee spoke up in a whisper. Why?! This girl really couldn’t have had worse timing! “You should rehearse what you wanna say in your mind first.” I suggested, not even looking at her. “That’s what I’ve been doing till now. I think I’m ready now.” Kaylee replied. Why?! This is a nightmare! “Why don’t you go over it again?” I asked, still not turning to look at her. Just a few more minutes! “I want to talk to you before your br
“So, do you wanna do something?” I asked Hunter as we walked to his car. It was the end of the school day but we still didn’t have any plans for the rest of the day. “I don’t know. Austin was asking me to play some video games with him though.” Hunter shrugged. Gasp! How dare they plan to do something that doesn’t involve me?! I stopped walking, pulling my hand away from Hunter’s as I glared at him. I knew that I was acting like a child but what can anyone do when their stupid brother was trying to steal their boyfriend?! “You’re my boyfriend, Hun. Not Austin’s.” I told him with an angry pout on my fac
“You two have been coming here a lot lately.” Papa Joe commented when he spotted Hunter and I entering the diner. “You’re both friends again?” He smiled. I shook my head as I clung to Hunter’s arm while he was tightly holding my hand. Hunter looked at me with a smile, waiting for me to answer the question. He knows me too well… Well, that and I’ve been eating his ear off on the way here about how excited I am to tell Papa Joe about how Hunter and I are dating now. This is so exciting! Eeeep! “He’s my date tonight, Papa Joe!” I chimed happily, standing on my tiptoes to kiss Hunter’s
“I’m gonna go and get ready now.” I sighed as I got up from the couch. I stretched a little, feeling a bit tired. Me and Austin had been sitting in the same position for hours now. We watched three amazing alien movies one after the other! Now that was awesome! “Where are you going?” My brother frowned. “I have a date with Hunter tonight.” I informed him with a huge smile on my face. The thought of the upcoming date made all the tiredness leave my mind. What the hell is happening to me?! It was like the thought of going out with Hunter
“I missed this.” I sighed as I snuggled next to Hunter. He kissed the top of my head. He’s super comfy! This reminds me why I started calling him ‘Captain Comfy’ when I was seven. Cuddling with him made me feel safe and warm. How did I stay away from this for so long?! “Me too.” I could practically hear the smile in his voice as he rubbed my arm. After the whole scene at school, I thanked Maya and Shawn for standing up for me. They stood up for me in a way no one ever did. They are the kind of people everyone should want to be friends with… Maya just hugged me as I tried to stop my tears
“Kaylee?” I spoke softly as I tapped on her shoulder. She turned around to face me with an annoyed expression on her face. “What the hell do you want?” She asked me in an irritated tone. I wanna ride on a unicorn… But life’s not about what you want. It’s about what the universe thinks would be funny… Stupid universe! “I have something to tell you.” I told her. I glanced at her friends who were looking at me. “If you have a minute, can we talk? Privately?” I asked. I’m being super kind and considerate here! Don’t blow it off!
“Whatcha doin’ now?” I asked Hunter, trying to hide my huge grin as he shut the door of his locker. “Dropping you home.” He told me as he turned around to look at me. He’s not planning to hang out with me? I bet it’s all Austin’s doing! He must have told Hunter to play some stupid video games with him! That stupid brocooli lover! Note: Kaylee is the broccoli. But Hunter will hang out with me! “That’s boring.” I rolled my eyes. “Anyways, can we go to Papa Joe’s tonight for our date?” I asked him, almost jumping in excitement. Thi
“That was really awesome what you did yesterday, girl!” Maya cheered. “Thanks!” I grinned at Maya. I’ve got a fan! Be realistic, Liv! The only fan you have is the one attached to the ceiling of your bedroom! That fan is amazing though… And it also knows all my secrets… Sheesh! Distract yourself, Liv! Distract yourself before you start overthinking this! “I have to say, I am impressed by you, kiddo.” Shawn nodded at me. Kiddo?! I’m just a year younger, people!&
