“You what?!” Dalon kept on laughing, “y-you called him..” Still chuckling, “a pickle.” He kept on laughing holding his stomach tightly. It started to piss me off, i know im an idiot, no need to laugh it out. Sheesh. “Gosh Sum, i didn’t know you were funny” he says breathlessly. He wiped off a tear that came out from all of his laughter.
“Ha. Ha.” I say lamely.
“I’ll go and get it.” I tell Ginger. She nods and continues to play the game.As far as I know, mom and dad won’t come home this early. It’s 3 in the afternoon, they always come home at around 5:30 to 6, so who could it be? As I walk towards the door, I peek through the peephole to see who it was. To my surprise it was Dalon. What does her he want? I open the door.&ldquo
Today is Saturday, the day of the party. Flo invited me to come and honestly it’s my first time going to a party without my parents. Apparently Dalon is also coming with me because he is also invited, and he is afraid that I might do something stupid considering how clumsy I am. It’s 4pm and i have two more hours left to get ready for the party.I called Ginger to come to my place so she can help me choose what to wear but she had to go somewhere with her parents. What do I do now? I don’t have any fashion sense! Being a girl is so hard compared to boys,they can just wear jeans a
I combed my hair and left my hair fall to my shoulders. Since i didn’t know how to put make up on properly i just went with one of mom’s lip glosses. I finally started walking on heels properly and i knew how to stop and keep my balance thankfully. I leave the house making sure i locked the front door and wait for Dalon since he was my ride there and home.Once he came out saying bye to his mom, he looked at me. I felt his gaze on me going from bottom to top. Feeling uncomfortable and I break the awkward silence by saying “How do i look?”
“So how was the party?” Ginger asks me excitingly as I put my books in my locker. I grin showing all my teeth.Last night was amazing, I finally got the guy’s number whose name was Brian. He was quite nice and no, I did not try any lame pick up lines on him. Once was enough thank you very much. I showed Dalon his number and he was impressed. The DJ finally came after an hour and I liked his songs, he even complimented my song choices. So I was happy the end of the day.
Friday came faster than I expected. I had invited Ginger to my place for a video game battle after school. She was okay with it. I guess i just wanted to see her face when Chris comes home. Its going to be fun! I’m cruel I know. I bet she’s excited too.James has been talking to me the whole week and we became pretty good friends now. Dalon was aware of this and told it’s going like how he planned it. But one thing that bothered me really badly was that whatever he was saying never showed through his eyes. He had a smile but it looked almost as if it was forced and i couldn&rsquo
Ginger left an hour after Chris came home. We both watched an action movie and ate snacks from the fridge. At about 5, mom and dad came home.When mom saw Chris her face immediately brightened up. She hugged him and kissed his face so many times i lost count.“Mom stop! Im getting all of your lipstick on my face!” Chris whines.
I got up at about 9:30 in the morning and took a shower. After the shower, i dressed into my usual wear. I took my phone downstairs and sat with everyone on the dining table. Surprisingly everyone was there before i was. Usually its Chris whose always late.I put my phone on table and started having my breakfast. My phone started to vibrate, making me raise my eyebrows. Who is messaging me now? I look around and see everyone staring at me and then my phone.
“So let me get this straight you want me to help you look good before your date.” Pointing his index fingers in the air emphasising the word date.“Yes.”“What’s there to do, I mean we’ve already done what we have to do. What more do you want to make you look good.” He says confusingly.
“Dammit Summer! You literally don’t have anything in your closet ” Ginger shouts at me.“Thats not true.. If I didn’t have anything, I would be here, right now, with no clothes on, in front of you.. completely.. naked.. ” I say sassily.“Okay, let me rephrase that.” She says rubbing her forehead. “You don’t have any clothes to wear for prom&r
Chris and I came home after watching a movie at Ginger’s place. To be honest, I never knew how it felt like being the third wheel until now. They were too busy cuddling in the love seat while I sat alone eating buttered popcorn. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate on the movie, I would occasionally notice them either, holding hands, making out or cuddling and whispering in each others ears. I find it cute and annoying at the same time. Like I get it, you’re together. No need to rub it in my face telling me how single my life really is.I quickly go into my room and take a quick s
“So your telling me,” I say scooping my hand in a huge bag of chips and shoving it in my mouth, “that Chris is here just so he could help you in a physics project..” I narrow my eyes.“Mhmm” Ginger nods quickly giving me a tight smile.I was currently sitting on one of Ginger’s living room sofa with one of my legs dangling from the side of the chair.
Summer POVJasmine leads Dalon outside, to her backyard. I hope everything goes well. I could see Dalon was nervous, I knew he didn’t know what to say. But he had to face her one or the other and I think this was the right time.I stood awkwardly in the corner of hallway looking around as if I was expecting to see people I knew around here. Surprisingly, there were a few students from my school
Saturday came by real fast. The day of the party Jasmine invited Dalon and I to. Dalon said he’ll tell her that we both aren’t in a relationship. You might think that’s just stupid of me to do, but it’s the truth. I don’t want to keep anymore secrets. I already keep way to many.School was so boring this week. Ginger kept ignoring everytime I tried to talk to her. Dalon was with his friends most of the time, so I kind of felt alone in school. I really want to talk to Ginger, and finish whatever that just happened between us. If only she gave me the chance. That’
“Seriously Sum jog faster..” Dalon says, “I haven’t got all day..”“Well you should’ve thought of that before you wanted me to jog with you”Dalon ignores my comeback and says, “this is my 4th round and your still on the 1st”
What have I done.How could I be so stupid!? Ginger is my only friend and I lost her. I tried calling her but she never answered. I even texted her but she never replied back.I regret every word I said to her. God! I really wish I went back in time and shut myself up.
Dalon kept ignoring me. Even at school he looked upset and somewhat lifeless. I would occasionally glance at him from time to time during cafeteria and notice him sitting with his friends but he wouldn’t utter a word.. He would just keep looking down and ignore his friends calling his name out.“So.. James spoke to me in the morning today..” Ginger says snapping me out of my thoughts.
I press the doorbell of Dalon’s house. His mom opens the door a moment later.“Summer!” She says, “You’re just on time.. Dalon just came home..”“Yup, I replied my message..” I say.
