6 Chapter 6 (2/2)
He grinned at her, ”Do you at least know where I live?”
Lola laughed. ”No, we don't.”
Jessie pulled out his phone and he handed it to her, so she could put her numbers in. She hesitantly did. When she was done, she handed back the phone.
He looked pleased. ”I will text you the directions to my house.”
She looked at him, ”What time does the party start?”
”You can come at whatever time you want.” He said. She saw that he was being serious. Before he could ask another question two girls came over. They were sitting with Karly. Skylar had already guessed who they were.
”Jessie what is taking you so long” it seemed as if they wanted to show her that he belonged to them.
Jessie looks at them in annoyance. ”I was talking to them as you can see.”
They finally make eye contact with her. They acknowledge her presence. ”You must be the new girl” the one with a short bob says. The other one with shoulder length hair just glares at them.
”I'm Vivian” as she carries on.
”I'm Beth” the other one pipes in.
She looks at them both. ”I'm Skylar. Nice to meet you.”
”We have heard about you” Beth replies.
Skylar didn't want to know what they had said about her because the way Beth had said it, didn't seem pleasant. It was more of a mocking tone.
She is relieved when the teacher arrives, and they disperse from her table. Before Jessie leaves, he says ”I will text you later.” She just nods.
Math is very long, and she works fast so that she doesn't have much homework or studying to do if she had to go to the party on Friday. She doesn't look at the back even once she felt as if she would meet deathly eyes.
She knew that Karly, Beth and Vivian would be gossiping about her. Not that they hadn't already started. It seems as if Karly had reported to her minions about her. She couldn't lose focus on her work, so she put it at the back of her mind. She would think about it later when she got home.
Skylar was glad when the day was over. She and Lola started making their way home. ”I can't believe Jessie came and spoke to us,” Lola squealed in excitement. ”I mean he came over and told us about the party himself and even offered to fetch us and I can't believe you declined!”
She didn't see the big deal of being fetched or going by themselves they would eventually get there one way the other. ”Well it's done. I already refused.”
Lola's smile turned mischievous, ”You could tell him that you rethought about the offer and that he can fetch us.”
”No.”
”But Skylar. Please.”
”No Lola. I am already going as it is.”
”Fine” Lola gave in. ”We are going to have so much fun.”
”We are” Skylar agreed even though she didn't feel any confidence with her own words at all.
Lola hugged her bye when they got to her house. She carried on to her house, when she got into her room, she dropped her bag on the floor, took off her shoes and jumped on her bed. She would now relax.
