Chapter 2: Meeting new people
I woke up to my alarm playing Katy Perry's teenage dream. My alarm clock sang "You think I'm pretty without any makeup on., I know you get me So I let my walls come down, down ." Then I started to sing along when it got to the part that said "Let's go all the way tonight. No regrets, just love." I sat up in my bed and sang "You and I, will be young forever" I looked to my side and saw Matt and Jeff laughing at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing do you always sing in your sleep?" Jeff asked laughing. "Hey I wasn't asleep I was awake." I said. "What are you guys doing up here?" I asked. "We came to wake up." Jeff said. "Okay well I'm awake you can leave now." I said. "Okay, be down in a hour for breakfast, if you go back to sleep we will get a bucket of water and dump it on you." Matt said smiling, I knew he would pour water on me, he has tried before. "Okay I'm awake, I'll be down in a hour and half." I said then got out of my bed and went to take a shower. When I got out of the shower I did my make up. First I put on foundation, then blush. For my eye shadow I did a light smoky eye, it had a little black but mostly light pink. I put on eye liner on my eyelid, then I put liner on the lower part of my eyes, where eyeliner is suppose to go. I put on some mascara then lipstick. I curled my hair, then I went and picked out my outfit and got dressed (This is the link for her outfit: meeting_new_people_mandi_outfit/set?id=96802280). I got a mini purse that looked cute and put my cell phone and make up in it then I got a bigger purse for papers, books and stuff. I put my mini purse into my regular size purse, then I went downstairs.
When I got downstairs Matt and Jeff had already made waffles. Hey Mandy we made waffles, chocolate chip your favorite." Matt said to me. "Thanks" I said then got a plate of chocolate chip waffles. I started to eat my waffles when Jade texted me. "Still want me 2 pick u up or r ur bros gonna give u a ride?" Jade asked. After that I got another text from her it said "Ur riding home with me, we gotta wait 4 Emily, cheer-leading. On the bright side I'll get to see Cole. ;)" Emily was Jade's sister and Cole was the guy that Jade had a major crush on, Jade is a big flirt. I responded with "Idk let me ask." "Hey do one of you guys want to give me a ride school?" I asked my brothers barley looking up from my phone. "Yeah sure I'll take you." Matt said. "k. thanks and Jade is giving me a ride home, I'll won't be back until later we have to wait on Emily." I said. "Alright come on wouldn't want you to be late now would we?" Matt asked.
Matt dropped me off at school, school was school it dragged on. Now Me and Jade are watching Emily and the cheer-leading team. The football players are also on the same field, Cole is a football player. Cole came over and started talking with Jade then another one of the football players came over and said "Colecome on your needed on the field." "Alright." Cole said. Before the other guy left he looked up at me. "I haven't seen you around here before, I'm Nick." He stuck his hand out for me to shake. Cole went back onto field and Nick sat down on the bleachers. "Don't you have to go back onto the field?" I asked. "No, Cole took my place." Nick said. He turned around where he was facing me. "I told you my name what's yours?" He asked me. "Mandi." I said.
Jade started playing music on her phone, Wicked games by the Weeknd. "I love this song" I said. "Really?" Nick asked. "Yeah." I said Nick starting singing along so I started recording him. Then he sang into the camera "Let me Mother F***ing Love you." When the song said "I'll give you all of this." he pointed at me then I started doing the dance that's at the beginning of the music video except I didn't do anything with my hands I just moved my body, then Jade took my phone and recorded us both, me dancing and him singing while I danced. When the song was over I stopped dancing and Jade stopped recording. "Send me that video." He said. I sent it to him. "Good now I have your number." He said and smiled. I laughed. I also sent to Jade.
I got a notification on my phone from twitter " Jadeyouknowyouwantthis;)" has tagged you and "NickF" In a video. "You did not" I said to Jade. "What?" Nick asked. "She posted the video on twitter!" I said. Nick laughed. "That isn't funny." I said. My phone beeped. " NickF commented on a video that you were tagged in." I look at his comment "That's right dance for me Mandi. Any one jealous? ;)" "Nick!" I said he just laughed. My phone beeped again Jade commented on the video. "That's right Mandi get some!" I replied by saying "I am not getting anything!" Then Nick commented "You sure about that? Your no fun!" I replied by saying "Sorry your not getting anything here :p" Then Nick said "Ya except that lap dance, thanks Mandi" Then I heard Nick laughing. I replied by typing "No I did not. I'll give to three to run." Then I looked at Nick. He read the comment then looked at me. "One, Two." I said then He took off running on the part of the field that no one was on. I started chasing him, Jade filmed this also. We fell over laughing. Emily's cheer-leading practice ended and we were about to leave when Nick offered to drive me home, we talked and laughed the whole way home. When we were coming up on my street I saw Matt outside talking on the phone.
"Which house is yours?" Nick asked. I pointed to my house and he turned into my driveway, Matt ended his phone call then he saw me and Nick. "Thanks for the ride home." I said. "No problem, so will I see at practice again tomorrow?" Nick asked. "Maybe." I said and smiled. Matt walked up to Nick's car and went to Nick's side and said "Hello. Who are you?" "Nick, I'm Mandi's friend." Nick said. "I'm Matt, Mandi's brother." Matt said. "Before you try whatever you've got going on in that head of yours, I'm going warn you now kid you better keep your hands off of Mandi. I know about you, Tom is a old friend of mine, I know you sleep with girls and then leave, so just know you better not try that with her. You do anything I will kick your ass I Don care how young you are and Tom knows that." Matt said. "Matt!" I said. I can't believe he just said that, Matt can blunt which can make the things he says really embarrassing. I gave him the evil eye. "I'll be inside in a minute" I said to Matt through gritted teeth. Matt went back inside the house but I could still see him through the curtains. "I'm so sorry about him, my brother can be protective since I'm the only girl and there is such a age difference between me and him." I said. "It's okay, I get it I don't have the best track record." He said. "Matt said a name, who was he talking about? If you don't mind me asking." I said. "I don't mind Tom is my father and if you don't mind me asking how old is your brother?" Nick asked. "Matt is 38 about to turn 39 and Ihave another brother, Jeff he just turned 36, we have different a mom but the same father. My mother was 25 years younger than my dad." I said. "Okay, so I'll forgive you on one condition." He said. "What would that be?" I asked. "There is a game tomorrow night come and watch, after the game the team and the cheerleaders usually go out and get something to eat, If you wanna come after the game?" Nick asked. "I'd love to, but can my friend Jade come she has kinda got a thing for Cole." I said. "Yeah, sure and I think Cole likes her to." Nick said. "Okay, oh what time does the game start?" I ask. "8:00" Nick said. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at 8." I said then I got out of his car and waved before I went inside.
"Matt!" I yelled when I got inside. Matt was sitting on the couch. "What was that? I can't believe you would embarrass me like that!" I yelled at Matt. "Mandi I know your mad but he is player, I just don't want anything to happen to you. I also want to warn the boys who might try something on you." Matt said to me. "You can't control me!" I said then I stormed up the stairs yelling "Dad! Dad?" I found my dad in his room reading a book. "Can I go to the football game and then out with some people for dinner tomorrow?" I asked. "Sure. What time will you be back?" My dad asked. "I'm not sure probably late, maybe early morning. I would say maybe 12 at the earliest, maybe 3:30 if we win the game and there's a party." I said. "Okay. Just call me if you spend the night at a friends house." My dad said. "Sure thing daddy, thanks love you." I said. Then I went downstairs and saw Matt in the living the room I was still angry with him so I said "Just to let you know I won't be home much tomorrow since I am going to the game and then out to eat with Nick. Dad said I could and I listen to his word over yours since he is my dad and you just try to act like it and by the way don't wait up tomorrow, I usually don't get home until about 4." I said to Matt partly because I was mad and partly to get him mad, then I walked upstairs.
