35 || A boyfriend girlfriend thing
Carter King was my boyfriend.
Wow.
I'd never get tired of hearing or saying that.
Of course I was bursting to tell the girls everything that happened during the dance. So that Sunday night I held a sleepover. An emergency sleepover.
"The party has arrived!" Chanel bursts through my room doors followed by Ivy and Nikole.
"Let the emergency sleepover commence," Nikole spreads out her sleeping bag and the girls follow. Then we all lay down.
"So what's up?" Ivy asks. "You were awfully quiet on the ride home back from the dance."
I take a deep breathe and grin. "Carter and I are dating."
I kid you not they all scream.
Chanel tackles me in a hug. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Girl what happened!" Nikole screeches. "Last I knew you were moping and going on about how you were giving up on him."
I explain in great detail what happened after Ivy left to go to the restroom. They listen attentively, like children being read a story.
"That is so romantic!" Chanel gushes.
"What'd I tell you?" Ivy nudges me. "Eh? Eh?"
"Shut up," I laugh.
"Take that Vanessa!" Nikole karate kicks the air and we laugh harder.
"She's gonna be so shook when she finds out," Ivy grins evilly. "I can't wait to see her face."
I hug a pillow to my chest. "Who cares about her? I can't wait to see Carter." I smile dreamily.
"Aubrey's in looooove!" Chanel teases me.
"Ooooohhh!" The girls giggle and I cover my face with the pillow.
"Shut up."
😍😍😍
The next day at school I'm grabbing my books in the morning for class. When I shut my locker Carter is standing right behind it. Normally this would freak me out but now I can only smile.
"Hi boyfriend."
He smirks. "Hi girlfriend."
Then he kisses me and I internally sigh a blissful sigh.
I'll never get tired of kissing him.
"Whoop whoop!" There are loud cheers coming from down the hallway and we break away from each other to see Trevor and Ryan coming toward us pounding their chests. The girls are following.
"Stop acting like monkeys," Ivy rolls her eyes. Chanel as usual laughs at their antics.
"Finally," Trevor says reaching us. "I thought you guys would keep continuing that friendship crap forever!"
This time Ivy smacks him upside the head.
"Geez woman!" He rubs the back of his head glaring at her.
"So when did it happen?" Ryan asks.
"Not that it's any of your business," Carter speaks. "But the Valentines dance."
Of course Nikole already knows everything that happened but she still asks anyway. "So was it like a big confession or something?"
We turn to look at each other.
"Something like that," Carter says smiling at me. I bite my lip and smile back.
The bell rings and we all groan.
"I hate chemistry," I grumble.
Carter grins. "How can you hate chemistry when we have so much of it?"
Nikole, Ivy and Chanel do this weird squeal slash scream laugh thing while the guys shove Carter laughing.
"Dude," Trevor says. "I'm stuck between saying that was the corniest thing I ever heard or saying it was a good pun."
We all walk down the hall towards our classes laughing. Carter puts an arm around my shoulder and the small gesture makes me feel so incredibly happy. Because now he's not just doing it in a friendly way, we're dating. So it's completely different.
I glance behind me and spot Vanessa staring after us. She looks crushed for a moment before shooting me a deadly look. But I don't care.
So I wink at her and stick my tongue out.
😜😜😜
All through English I can literally feel Vanessa's anger coming off her in waves. I don't see why she's so angry anyway, it's not my fault Carter doesn't like her like that. Plus she's been a total bitch to me, if anyone should be angry it's me.
After class she pulls me aside. "We need to talk."
I'm curious to what she has to say so I tell Carter I'll catch up with him. He says hi to Vanessa and she says hi back with her fake smile on her face.
When he's gone she drops the act. "You sneaky bitch."
"Excuse me?" I say. What the hell?
"You knew I liked him!"
I've so had it with this girl.
"No, all I know is that you're crazy! You come to this school acting all sweet and friendly but in reality you're the sneaky bitch, not me! I did absolutely nothing to you! I introduced you to my friends and everything! But then with no warning what so ever to totally switch up and start acting like a witch!"
"Oh don't give me that," she laughs. "You know what you did."
Is she insane?
"I didn't do anything! You freaking pushed me off a ladder!"
"I didn't push you," she rolls her eyes.
Now I laugh. "Oh don't give me that," I repeat her words. "I don't what your problem is but stay away from me, my friends, and Carter. Sorry he doesn't like you like that but it's not my fault. Maybe you should stop trying so hard."
Her eyes narrow and when she opened her mouth to speak I cut her off.
"Or hang around him like a desperate groupie I don't care. Just remember he's my boyfriend, not yours." Then I shoulder check her as I walk past.
I'm seriously not going to waste any more energy on Vanessa. I definitely don't want a repeat of Nikole vs. Britney because that's what it seems like it's heading toward. Fighting over boys was stupid.
I just had to put her in her place one last time. Maybe now she'll finally get it.
🌷🌷🌷
After cheer practice I told the girls I would get a ride home from Carter. He was waiting by his motorcycle.
"You should totally let me drive her one day," I said as I approached.
"Hell no."
"Why not?"
"No one drives Lucy but me," he answers. "She's like a baby. You can't just let random strangers hold her."
I roll my eyes. "But you let random strangers ride her. Ok." I paused to think about my sentence. That sounded dirty.
"Ugh I know what you're thinking," I said when I saw the smirk on Carters face after my sentence. "Honestly you need to cleanse your mind with holy water."
"Hey you said it not me."
He got on and I slid in behind him. I was so tired. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep. Our first elimination round was this Saturday and I felt like I wasn't ready. If we didn't make it past this round I would seriously cry.
My eyes were closed and I was drifting off when Carter stopped. I opened my eyes and frowned. Wait a minute...
"Unless my house suddenly turned blue and we got a porch swing I don't live here."
"Yeah I meant to tell you. Sophia and Olivia have been bugging me non stop about bringing you over. Seriously they're starting to piss me off."
"This is kidnapping!" I exclaim.
"Chill drama queen it's only for like an hour. Then I'll take you home. I can not take one more day of them asking, 'Can you bring Aubrey over please please please!'"
An hour? Right now that felt like an eternity!
I got off the bike grumbling. "You're lucky I like the twins. And you."
I was still in my cheer uniform, although I had changed into the nylon cheer sweats (mine being pink of course) and my cheer windbreaker (also pink).
"AUBREY!" The twins shrieked as soon as I entered. They tackled me to the floor in a hug. After they got off I lay there in a dead heap.
"What's wrong with Aubrey?" I heard Olivia ask Carter.
"She's dead. You guys killed her."
"OH NO!" They both yelled and I heard them start to cry.
"You're an asshole," I sat up. "I'm not dead girls. But your brother is trying to kill me."
They both squeezed me protectively and glared at Carter. I stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen.
"Let's all sit down and watch a movie," I suggested. Sitting down was good. I needed to sit down right now.
Luckily the twins put up no argument and I popped in Barbie as the princess and the pauper. Carter came back in with popcorn. He sat down and I rested my head on his lap.
"Do I look like a pillow to you?"
"Yes. Now feed me," I opened my mouth and he dropped a popcorn inside. Olivia and Sophia curled up by my legs.
Ah this movie was my childhood. I still loved this movie today. You were never too old for Barbie in my opinion. Plus she was all about pink so we could relate on a spiritually pink level.
On the part where Princess Annalise meets Erika for the first time and they start singing 'Im just like you' I snap chat it to Ivy, Nikole, and Chanel.
When you and your friends don't like the same girl😂
They replied with laughing emojis. Nikole asked:
Wya?
At Carter's house
Ohhhh😉
Bye😂
After Carter finished his popcorn he started playing with my hair. I remember the first time he messed with my hair back when I still hated him. Ahh memories.
The combination of Carter giving me a free head massage and his warmth combined with the twins curled around my legs caused me to feel drowsy. I was already tired so it was no surprise when halfway through the movie my eyes started drooping.
I was awoken by a soft voice. "Aubrey. Aubrey. Carter. Girls. Wake up."
"Five more minutes," I mumbled waving my hand at the person.
I heard some shuffling and the sleepy voices of the twins as they were woken up. Carter shifted causing me to shift and I opened my eyes, blinking confusedly. I must've fallen asleep.
Carter's mom was smiling at us as I sat up and stretched, yawning.
"Why are you grinning like a creep?" Carter grumbled, his voice laced with sleep.
"Oh nothing," she shook her head still smiling. "Come on girls time for bed."
The nodded sleepily and turned to me. "Bye Aubrey."
"Bye Sophia. Bye Olivia."
Their mom herded them upstairs and I turned to Carter. He grabbed his motorcycle keys.
"Come on I'll take you home."
I was still extremely tired and the cold air whipping at my face did little to wake me up. I was dreaming of my soft bed. I didn't even think I'd change into pajamas I was that tired.
We pulled up to the front of my house and I didn't move, my arms still wrapped tightly around Carter.
"We're here," he spoke.
"I know."
"Are you going to get off?"
"Eventually."
Reluctantly I let go of him and slid off handing him back his helmet.
"You hair," I couldn't help but laugh. It was totally messed up and sticking in all directions.
He ran a tired hand through it. "Funny," he gave me a wry look. "Yours isn't much better."
It was true. My ponytail was hanging on for dear life.
I stood on my tiptoes so I could kiss him. He cupped my face in his hands. My heart fluttered as he deepened the kiss and I wrapped my arms around his waist and tilted my head up more.
Unfortunately we can't kiss forever and he has to go back home.
"Goodnight," he says against my lips.
"Goodnight." And I can't help but peck his lips again.
He gets on his motorcycle, revs the engine, turns to wink at me, then speeds off.
I sigh, totally love struck.
When I go inside my house I jump at my mothers figure standing by the window.
"Geez mom you scared me!"
"Mhmm," she's smiling. "Was that Carter?"
I realize she probably saw everything, including our spit swapping session.
"Yeah," I can't help but blush. She just smiles more.
"Your dad wanted to see what I was looking at through the window. Luckily I shooed him away."
Thank God. He definitely would have thrown a fit.
"I'm happy for you. Carter is a lovely young man. And hot."
"Mom!" Now my cheeks are on fire.
"Sorry sorry," she laughs. "Just wanted to tease you a bit."
"I'm going to bed," I huff turning to go to my room.
"Just make sure to break the news to your father gently!" She calls out.
Freaking parents I swear.
