Next weekend came faster than I could say Antidisestablishmentarianism longest word in British dictionary mom and dad were forced out so I was truly on my own I had all the responsibility of the house laying on my crouched over shoulders. I hate these parties to this day I always try to stay in my room but there's always someone winding up in there making out and this time I have the full responsibility
‘That’s expensive’ I cried pointing to the glass flower that was just place don the floor I picked it up huffing. I hate the whispering like why is she here how did she get in referring to me.
I did invite a couple of people, of course they didn’t believe me they watched it from outside through a window I mean are you that desperate to look through a window even I wouldn’t steep that low to watch a snotty nose popular students have fun. I did open the door to let them in I swear on girl looked like she would cry.
‘I can't believe we’re in Rose and Lavender McPherson’s House’ my house too hello I live here thought I never said it out loud I almost did so I just nodded and then ignored them
Frustrated out of my wits a the mess I plumped myself down on the sofa
‘Hey Petal’ I rolled my eyes this was hopeless for people to get my name right
‘Poppy’ I corrected the person
‘I know’ he smiled delighted I don’t think he wanted to admit it
‘No I don’t think you do’
‘Trust me I really I do it's my nickname for you’ I I'd trust him weirdly enough
‘Mine will be buttercups then’ I countered in a playful mode no I'm annoyed
‘Why?’
‘Your blonde hair’ I didn’t think it was funny but it sure made him laugh
‘Petals what's up?’ he asked he must’ve noticed the mood I was in
‘Nothing much just tired’
‘Have you tried to have any fun’ tried no way
‘Yes I ate some delicious food I cooked’
‘You cooked’ no one looks at food at these parties
‘Yeah’ I don’t think he believed me his eyes wandered to search for the food no point It's outside
‘Right I noticed you had a tree house’ oh no he knows it’s mine he's going to laugh in my face I had to be brave but my red cheeks weren’t helping
‘Yeah’ I answered coldly
‘It's really good homey type’
‘I don’t go in there’ I lied
‘Oh who does?’ dammit had to ask too many questions so of course I had to confess
‘Well I do go in there’
‘Did you build it?’
‘Uh huh with my dad and Lavender painted it’
‘Cool do you want a drink’ I was sure the host was supposed to ask
‘No thanks’
‘Umm well just out of curiosity’ I rolled my eyes
‘Rose’s bedroom is up turn left you can't miss it’ I finished sighing getting up he gabbed my arm tuning me back round to face him
‘No do you want to come in the pool’ was he really asking me of cause he was he was staring at me making my stomach do back flips and front flips
‘The pool’ I repeated why would he want to see what was underneath my jumper who would want to se me in my Bandeau Tankini
‘Yeah you have a Tankini on but you aint gone in’
‘Later I was going to go in later’
‘You aint doing much now so come’ he pulled me outside I felt really uncomfortable going out there with the coolest of people it's better inside where there isn’t much people Lavender gave me thumbs up when she saw me I rolled my eyes back at her. His hand left my arm and he jumped in causing a splash and a cheer followed.
He looked back at me expectantly I looked round, checked myself then dived in. Coming up I was surprised that I also received a cheer I laughed gently pulling my hair back.
‘That’s the first time I've seen you smile today’ I wasn’t going to give him the benefit of the doubt
‘Then you must of missed the other ones’ he flicked his curls back
‘So do you swim a lot?’ he asked as I gently did doggy paddle round him
‘Yeah swim and basketball’ I blushed he must think I'm a tomboy or something just as I was about to change my answer he shouted
‘What!’
‘Basketball do you have water in your ears?’ I asked laughing again as he checked
‘Nah you play basketball ay’ here come the jokes and the names but he remains quiet so I carry on so I don’t feel no awkward silence.
‘Basketball net is right there, those are the only exercise I get I hate treadmills and the rest honestly what fun is there walking and checking how long you've been doing it for’ I shrugged waiting for an answer of some sort agreement.
‘I get ya so you do a bit of lengths then’ I nodded I must be blabbering he’s looking at me in a weird way
‘Yeah course ya do, wanna play?’
‘What no’ play a game what sort of games, lord the boy asked me to play war where I have to go up on his shoulders my legs round his neck body exposed out of the water. He looked at my face my face shows a big fat NO.
‘Come on it will be fun’ I opened my mouth to say no but yes came out sucker fro trying to fit in.
‘Great’ he didn't waste time dunking underwater for me to climb on.
That game is by far dangerous we won but it's still dangerous still we won which I’m very proud of.
It didn’t take long thought before I was in my room wiping tears away the whole ‘how did she get here’ escalated when they tried kicking me out of my own damn house. I sat down on my bed replaying what happened.
‘You jerks that’s my sister she's like VIP, guest of honour’ I watched Rose become mad
‘Gust of horror more like’ and they began to snigger and laugh
'You dick that’s my sister, get out' Rose cried pointing them the way out I ran upstairs staring in the mirror but devastating make up had smudged but still looked good to me but I didn't know good from bad like the difference in full fat milk and semi skimmed.
I turn around and find Justin sitting on my bed with a book open.
‘W- what are you doing here in my room… actually I don’t want to know, if you and your make out session take it elsewhere I would be happy’ he looked up to me his blue gems connecting with mine for a brief short second.
‘Not making out Petals sorry I can be very nosey’ he look back at the book .
‘I can see what are you doing?’ I asked only edging slightly closer to him I might still look like a horror
‘Reading you are rally smart’ he complimented
‘Yeah your point’ I asked furrowing my brow
‘That was it there, I heard what that jerk said it was really mean’ he smile faintly I think trying to be nice.
‘Yeah well there is a party downstairs if you would like to go’ I took the book off him which surprised him because he jumped.
‘I wouldn’t’ he smiled holding his arms as if protesting no he IS protesting.
‘Let me rephrase that get out’
‘Wow Petals, anyway I really like your room Japan style is so mature than teddy bears.
‘Thank you’
‘Are you okay no more tears?’ he asked before I shut my sliding door on him
‘No’ this is going to be a terribly long night.
