Chapter 25 - Best Friends
Nina's POV
I want to say I won... But sadly I didn't.
I was sprinting as fast as I could to beat Eddie. Looking back, I saw he was gaining and that's when I tripped over a rock. Since it was quite sudden, Eddie stumbled and fell on top me. I stared into his eyes. I really love him... Nina snap out of it! Remember what he did! Then Eddie started leaning in, we were so close. Then Jen screamed saying she won. I twisted as far as I could in that position and saw she was waving her hands in the air and jumping about. I turned back to Eddie and we both burst out laughing. He stood up and offered his hand which I gladly accepted. We then joined Jen at the steps of the house
Now, the whole house was back and were wondering about the outburst in classes. Especially Amber, but you got to love her. "Guys, put on your new outfits and we'll show them why we were excited" I whispered to the two. They nodded at me and we went to get changed. We met in 10 minutes in front of the common room door and entered. "This is what we were so excited about" Jen spoke. Dior sent me a formal red, strapless satin dress that five layers of ruffles that ended half-thigh. Jen got a casual blue and white stripe dress that crossed diagonally across her shoulders, ending at her knees. Eddie got a professional suit - he looked like he was going to set a business deal. Amber shrieked and came up to me and Jen squealing.
"Omg, now I know why you were screaming. I would too! These are amazing! Dior sent them? They're one of a kind..." She knew so much about it, I bet she could write a whole book about fashion. I smiled and nodded. They were original and they are amazing. The boys were talking to Eddie while the girls crowded around us.
When I woke up the next morning, I went downstairs in my jammies instead of my uniform and saw that everyone was in there pj's as well. I sat down in between Amber and Jen and waited for someone to speak.
"Trudy said we have the days of until you guys leave. To spend more time together" Mick said. I nodded and went silent.
"So why don't we do something then? We have four days and the last is the party so we only have three to spend time with each other" Eddie spoke up. I agreed and so did Jen but everyone was still down.
"What's wrong with you lot?!" Jen screamed. I guess the silence was getting to her.
"Were just upset you know? I can't believe your really going..." Amber said pointing at everyone. They all nodded in agreement.
"Can we do some fun stuff and mope around on the last day? I mean were going to miss you too but we might as well take advantage of this situation!" Eddie told everyone.
"Let's go bowling then!" Alphie shouted. Nodding our heads along with the gang, we wen upstairs to get changed.
We met everyone downstairs and walked to Ten-Pin which happened to be right around the corner! The boys each paid for their girl in pair bowling. So it was Mara and Jerome vs Alphie and Amber, Fabian and Joy vs Mick and Patricia, leaving me and Eddie against each other. I smirked. I rocked at bowling! This was a piece of cake.
"Sweet, you are so going down"
"Bring it on Martin, bring it on!"
I won! Eddie wasn't too bad and he wasn't a spoil sport. So when I scored the last strike he picked me up and spun me around. I laughed and went with it. I mean, I couldn't hold a grudge on him forever. I think its amazing that after that I still love him. He treated me to smoothies and then we played air hockey. He won and being a good sport, I kissed him on the cheek.
"So were friends again?" He asked me, still shocked that I'd forgiven him. I'm spending the next six months with him so we better be friends, otherwise it would be hell. I giggled.
"Best Friends"
