My Brother's Best Friend

Have We Met?

The next morning, I didn't know how I got back home, without even remembering who brought me at the first place. So, I decided to check whether my brother was still sleeping in his room.

As I opened the door, he wasn't in his room already. I had no clue where he went or whether he had come back from the party. 

I was still in my dress which was worn last night. The only thing I could remember was when Ashton kissed me. OMG. That really enlightened my mood. The best dream or life I ever had. Kissing your crush have to be your most wonderful thing ever. 

However, there's always that one thing which is the biggest problem. I mustn't let me brother know. Coz if he knew about this whole matter, I would be a piece of dead meat, along with Ashton. 

Then there was call. It was from my brother.

"Morning sis, just woke up?" My brother asked from the line.

"Yup. As always. BTW, where did you go early in the morning?" I questioned.

"Oh.. Ashton and I had football practice for the big game this Sat. Told mom about it. And you were sleeping didn't wanna wake you up." Sam explained.

"Don't mention it. If you woke me up that early, you wouldn't be alive bro. Hahaha.. lol. But thanks for telling me so late." I sighed.

"Yea. Don't you have any classes today?" He asked.

"Im gonna skip the first and second lesson. It's Ms Daphine's English class. She's always talking about the same old story. Way out of the topic. But I'm getting mom to fetch me to school. Don't worry about it. Got it undercover." I said.

"You better be, and about your bestie, Jennifer? How is she? Did she call you?" Sam uttered.

"Nope. No calls from her, which can be a good thing or bad thing. I'll try to get hold of her if you ask me to." I smirked.

"Nah.. it's just that you should be worrying about your bestie than your brother worrying about her. But sure, if you insist."

"I was just joking bruh. It means a lot to me if you care about her. After all, you might even have a crush on her." I said.

"Well, in your dreams little sis. Anyway, I gotta go now. Coach's yelling at us to go back in line. So, see ya later! Bye." Sam said.

"Sure sure, see ya soon bro. Don't be late for lunch. Bye." I mumbled.

Few minutes later, I got a call from Jennifer. Damn, now I've gotta hear what she's up to.

"Hello?" I said.

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!" Jennifer screamed. Actually, I didn't need to have a loudspeaker because Jenni would always speak so loud until my eardrums would break! God. But I still love her. 

"So what's up Jenni?" I asked.

"I've got good news for you Sarah. You won't believe." she charmed.

"Go on..." I rolled my eyes.

"Remember last night? That party?" She asked.

"Yea. What are you trying to suggest?"

"There was this pretty boy I met in the party and the best part was that he gave me his phone number. How cool is that?" She said. I could tell that she was jumping for joy. However, for me? 

Well, I don't really find it amusing, but I don't wanna hurt my best friend's feelings so I replied, " Wow! That's amazing. What's the boy's name? " 

"Ryan." She answered.

Hmm... Where did I hear this name before? I couldn't recall.

"Sarah? Are you there? " Jennifer called out.

"Yea, right here. I was wondering where I heard this name before..." I mumbled with curious look on my face.

"Maybe he's from our school or anything. But nah, I don't think so. I've never seen him in school before. Don't worry about it." Jennifer explained.

"You think so? So, when are you guys gonna meet?" I asked.

"He texted me we're gonna meet each other tomorrow evening. You wanna tag along?" Jennifer offered.

"Well, if it's a date for you guys. Then, I'l be the one who's interrupting your meal." I quickly replied.

"Nah. It's not a date Sarah. He just wants to hang out. Not a date. So are you coming or not?" Jennifer asked.

I really want to go, but should I or not?I'm so damn confused. Ugh.. just do it, Sarah.

"Alright!" I sighed.

"Great. Dress properly. That means more casual or anything. No long baggy pants." Jennifer warned.

"Yes, Ms Jennifer. I won't." I said.

"Great. Tomorrow 5pm, I'll be in front of your house. Bye!" 

"Ok. Bye! See you tomorrow then." I said.

As I ended the call, I thought. Should I go to school or just rest for another day. After all, I have a headache after that party.

Last decision. Alright. I'm out. I'm staying at home. It wouldn't hurt much.
