I'm getting bored sitting down here and drinking all by myself. I'm not going to be able to hide from her all night. I should just go upstairs and face her now. Getting up off my ass, I walked over to the bedroom door and opened it. Of course, Tom's blasting Nirvana again, I'm beginning to think he worships him when we're not around.
Jogging up the stairs to join the rest of the gang, I enter into the hotboxed room. Apparently, they started without me. They were all sitting around looking pie-eyed. Dude, I'm already getting a contact high just walking through Tom's room, that was quick.
"Calvin, just in time it's your turn! This should help you chillout." Handing him the 6-foot purple bong, I bent down and lit the bud for him. He took a massive hit and about coughed up a lung. My plan is to keep both of them so fried they don't care about fighting with each other.
"Thanks man I feel much better!" One look at Hannah reminds me of why I put up with her crazy ass. She has a way of lighting up the room with her smile, she's just too damn irresistible!
I don't know how to stay mad at her, I feel like getting on the floor and cuddling up to her. I can't be acting like I'm pussy whipped in front of the guys though. The way she is smiling at me, I think she has forgotten all about our little spat.
Either that or she doesn't care about it anymore. Feeling confident everything had blown over. I made eye contact with her. Once I got her attention, I patted my lap and motioned for her to come sit with me. Hannah squinted at me as though she was thinking about it. Or she wants me to f@ck off and leave her alone.
Unbelievable Who does Mr. Filmore think he is? What am I a cat? Does he think just because he patted his lap that I am going to run over there and jump up on him and purr in his ear!
Hannah, do you want to give Nina your boyfriend tonight on a silver tray? Of course, not! I should play it smart so I can keep the ball in my possession. Besides, I like my boy! He's the best eye candy around. Which sucks for me, because I know there are a lot of other girls waiting to unwrap him!
Calvin knew that using his deep baby blue puppy dog eyes on me, I wouldn't be able to resist him any longer. Hating how he has this way with me, as I made my way across the room and sat on his lap.
Calvin was quite happy with himself in his enthusiasm he rubbed his nose to mine, Eskimo kisses. How can I stay mad at him he is so darn cute with his sweet gestures and he's such a cocky prick! Calvin makes me want to scream; this boy baffles me.
"Would you like to lick my lollipop?" I ask her teasingly. She doesn't look too impressed with my joke. Hannah probably thinks I'm harassing her. She started to get up to move, so I had to act quickly. Pulling a Cherry Tootsie pop from my black Alien Workshop jacket. Her eyes light up, and a smile appears.
"You know I love Tootsie pops, and it's my favorite flavor, thank you! I thought you trying to be gross." Grabbing the Lollipop out of Calvin's hand, I quickly pull off the wrapper and pop it into my mouth.
Calvin's eyes stayed glued to me. With a smirk on his face and flushed cheeks.
"If only I were that Tootsie pop!" I couldn't help myself, as I continue to watch her suck and twirl it around in her mouth.
"You wish, as you could only dream about it!" Rolling my eyes I shake my head as if to say no at Calvin. Annoyed with his comment, I gently pushed his face to the side, so he couldn't look at me.
"Alright you two enough of that! Don't forget guys we are still here, and this is my room." I am more than sick of watching those two flirting, it's making me nauseous.
Jay gazing out the window saw a car pull into the driveway.
"Hey Hannah, you know who just got dropped off by her mother, and she's heading to the door! I think I'll go let her in and introduce myself first." Purposely looking over at Hannah with a giant grin on my face. Knowing she can't get mad at me while she's in Tom's room.
"F*ck you Jay it's my house I'll let her in!" Shouting as I'm running down the stairs trying to beat Jay to the door. He runs down behind me and we continue to push each other around all the way to the kitchen door.
"May the best man win!" I held my hand out to Tom, and he shook mine in agreement. That means Nina is free game, and no one is allowed to be butt hurt. We have been best buds since we were little kids, and no chick will change that.
"Game on Jay!" I have nothing to worry about, he doesn't know this yet, but Janet is coming over tonight as well. I have been smelling something cooking up between those two lately. Feeling full of myself I put on a smile and answered the door to let Nina in.
"Welcome to my house I'm Tom, come on in and make yourself comfortable. Glad you could make it! Were all upstairs, do you want to get high?" Rambling nervously to Nina before she had the chance to say anything, as she walked through the door.
"Ahh, sure, sounds good! I'm Nina, we kind of met earlier this afternoon." What have I gotten myself into?
" Wussup Nina! I'm Jay, you were the one hanging around with Filmore. Follow me, Filmore and Hannah are upstairs." I must have hit a nerve because she folded her arms and closed herself off.
Everything in me is telling me Hannah is setting me up. Jay politely introduced himself to me. Then guides me to Tom's room, my heart starts to race. Preparing myself for the unknown events of the night between Calvin, Hannah and me. Why didn't Hannah make the effort herself to come greet me at the door? Considering she was the one that invited me earlier to come hangout tonight.
The instant Jay opened Tom's bedroom door a heavy smoke rushed out. Heading up the stairs to Tom's room I feel like I'm already getting a contact high. I won't have to smoke anything while hanging out up here.
Breathing the air will f*ck you up good! Trying to see my footing through this smog filled stairway. When I reached the top of the stairs Tom's room was wall to wall covered in smoke.
The lighting up here is terrible! How is one tiny table lamp going to brighten up this massive room? I'm guessing at one point this must have been an attic converted into a large second floor bedroom. Fifteen people could easily fit comfortably, plus some.
My brain's trying to distract me from the loud thumping noise I can hear from my heart beating so fast. Knowing that Calvin is up here with Hannah, and everyone knows they are a couple, for now anyways!
I'm not really into alternative music but I wish they would turn it up. It would help drown out the faint sounds of kissing and giggling noises coming from the dark half of the room. Jay and I walked through the thick cloud of smoke over to where Tom was sitting. Calvin and Hannah were nowhere in sight. That must mean they are the ones in the dark.
"Ignore the snogging sounds! We do, have a seat!" Tom was sitting at a round white plastic outdoor table. Covered with bags of weed, rolling papers, a roller, bowls, bongs and cigarettes. I sat down in one of the four matching plastic chairs. In shock of the paraphernalia these people use all at once, no wonder this room is cloudy.
"What's your preference?" Jay asked me as he waved his hand over the table filled with choices. My minds first thought was my preference is Calvin, and I am sick of listening to Hannah giggling over there in the corner with such joy.
"I'm a bowl kind of girl; I have never tried a bong before and rolling a joint is too much work." Thinking to myself, with this much smoke I'm good. But I don't want to come off as the rude guest among these burn outs.
"No shit Nina! Well, the night is young, I bet by tomorrow you will be a natural." Tom packed the bowl and handed it to me first. Then he lit the bowl as I took a hit from it. Holding the smoke in my lungs long enough, trying to look like I know what I am doing. About to explode I cough as it comes out through my nose.
"Tom don't kill the girl; she needs to be able to breath!" I hear Calvin's smart ass laughing. Walking his way over to us through the blackness he became visible. Being observant, the first thing I noticed was his lips. Sparkling with what could only be Hannah's lipstick residue.
"I could say the same to you Calvin, you know that Hannah needs air to breathe as well, right!" Perturbed by the sight of Calvin with his shimmering lips. Why did I come here? He's not even trying to play it down knowing I am here. Why hasn't Hannah emerged from the dark corner over there? She's probably pulling herself together from all the snogging.
"I'm glad you made it; I think it's time for us girls to get to know each other better!" I Emerge from around the corner behind Calvin as he is hitting the bowl. Sitting down beside Jay who is sitting right next to Nina.
This is what I have been waiting for, time with Nina outside of school to get to know her personally, I can't shake this feeling that she is going to be an important piece of my life, and we are meant to be great friends.
There is only one issue between us, and his name is Calvin! Nina gives the impression she still wants him, and I am unwilling to let her have him. The only way this friendship will ever work is if neither of us dates Calvin! Good luck with that, look at him can you blame us? With his sandy blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and a smile that makes the girls melt like butter. Oh, did I forget to mention he's tall enough to play as a point guard in the NBA.
I gaze over at Nina who is now gawking at Calvin. So, I turn my head to peer at him over my shoulder to see if I can catch his reaction to her. Expecting to see him with a cocky smile spread across his face. I was taken back when he was looking at her with a scowl. Then Calvin glanced over at me as he passed me the bowl and the lighter.
"Hey guys I am fried, I'm going outside to get some fresh air and skate to clear my head!" I couldn't get out of Tom's room fast enough! Running down the stairs, I grabbed my skateboard that was leaning against the wall beside the front door. Then headed outside to the ramp.
No more than five minutes after Calvin left the room, Nina excused herself to go downstairs and use the bathroom. Mark my words she is sneaking out to go see Calvin! After the look he gave her, I'm assuming she wants an explanation for it. I know I would!
I left my mark on his lips, there is no way she will want to get physical with him right away. Then again, I could be wrong. I'm not too worried considering the daggers he gave her. At least I know he won't make the first move. This gives me some time to talk to Tom about Nina and feel the waters.
