I CANNOT BELIEVE the FINALS are in TWO DAYS!
TWO
STICKIN'
DAYS!
I've been studying my BUTT off so much that I actually think it's numb..
my butt...
Anyway, since the finals are so so close, I wanted to make a study group (namely Chloe, Zoey, Brandon, Theo, and Marcy) but I was also hoping a little someone else might join...
So before school started I headed right up to Greg's locker with a note, and slipped the note through the little slot-thingies on the top of the locker and RAN OUTTA THERE!
I knew that I could've PROBABLY just handed him the note like a normal person would, instead of shoving it in his locker like a creepy stalker, but I just can't handle myself around him. My stomach does flips and flops whenever I LOOK at him, so imagine what would happen if I tried TALKING to him.
The reason I could talk to him at lunch was because I was with my BFFs and they always make everything easier. Somehow.
AT THE CUPCAKERY
I sat down at the nearest seat for the study session, with extra money in my pocket, just in case anyone got hungry.
Yup! We were studying at CupCakery! One of my favorite places to hang out. I put my backpack on my lap, getting out the main things we were gonna study for first, chemistry!
Yaaaaaayyy sarcasm
Right when I had everything out and ready, I saw Chloe and Zoey headed right for my table. I waved them over.
"Hey BFFs!" I said, doing jazzhands. "Are you ready for finals?"
Both of them shook their heads simultaneously, as fast as they could, which made me laugh.
"Neither am I." I giggled.
They took a seat, and we started chatting, gossiping all the while studying.
Hey, who says you CAN'T study WHILE talking? It's called multi-tasking!
Next Marcy and Theo showed up. They sat down next to us, and immediately got their stuff out. This study group was actually really fun! I was learning a lot more stuff hanging out with these guys then studying by myself.
And last, but NOT least, Brandon walked in... with... OMG!
GREG?
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D!
I couldn't stop smiling when I saw them. "Hey Brandon, Greg, over here!" I shouted, still smiling the biggest smile ever. It even started to hurt my cheeks.
Brandon and Greg grabbed chairs and sat down next to our circle of study-buddies, and Greg was a little more talkative today, which made me pretty happy. Then he looked straight at me and said, "Thanks for inviting me, Nikki."
I blushed like crazy. 'OMG HE'S TALKING TO ME!' But I just said that inside my head, so no one heard that but me.
"Y-you're welcome." I smiled like an idiot.
He smiled back and then focused back on his work.
As we were just finishing up our chemistry studying time, someone else entered the CupCakery... someone I thought I wouldn't see for a LONG WHILE. Someone I DESPISE.
At this point, you all know who she is.
Mackenzie trudged in, wearing the MOST diva-like outfit she could pick out. Right as she entered she saw me and glared right through my skin.
Oh no; here she comes...
"Um... Brandon, is that you?" Mackenzie asked, in a fake-nice voice she puts on anytime she's around Brandon.
He turned around, and so did everyone else. By the look on their facial expressions, I could tell their day was automatically ruined.
"Hi... Mackenzie..." Brandon muttered.
Then Mackenzie noticed Greg. "OMG! You look familiar, are you that kid who tried to sell chocolates with that younger kid yesterday afternoon? You were the nice one... the other kid was just annoying."
"Hey, no one gets to call my brother annoying except me." Greg shout back.
Marcy, Theo, Chloe, and Zoey all gasped. They didn't know Greg had that in him to talk back to someone like Mackenzie.
"Mackenzie, we're kind of busy right now," Brandon added. "We're trying to study and-"
"Brandon, can we talk?" Mackenzie's screechy voice made everyone's ears bleed.
Brandon looked back at us and then back at Mackenzie. He sighed, then said "What the heck?" And left with Mackenzie.
Once he was gone, everyone looked around at each other, talking all at once.
"What was that all about?" "Where did he go?" "OMG! What lies do you think Mackenzie's filling Brandon with?" "What if she's using him for something?" "I HAVE TO GO CHECK OUT WHAT'S GOING ON!" "No, don't go!" "OMG! All I wanted was for all of us to study, and now everything's ruined!" "Hey, Nikki, don't worry about it." "Hey guys, he's back!" Zoey was the last one to talk.
And there Brandon was, walking back to our table. I couldn't see Mackenzie anywhere, which probably meant Brandon left Mackenzie, or they just both decided to leave. Brandon sat down and everyone started bombarding him with questions.
He looked around at everyone, sadly. It looked like he was about to get up and leave. Chloe quickly quieted everyone down.
"Shhhh! Guys, let Brandon talk." She said, raising her hands to silence everyone.
Eventually we all settled down, staring at Brandon, we waited for what he was going to say.
"She didn't really say much," Brandon started. "All she asked was if I'd go to the Summer Dance with her."
Everyone started laughing like crazy.
"The weird thing is... I'm actually kind of thinking of saying yes..."
Everyone stopped laughing, and stared at him, hoping he was joking.
"Haha, just joking." Brandon laughed.
We all looked around at each other, laughing even more at what Brandon said.
I looked down at my watch. "Guys! It's getting really late! Do you want to grab some cupcakes and leave?"
"YEAH!" Everyone shouted, full of excitement.
We all got up line, ready to pay for some cupcakes. In line, I slipped my hand into my pocket, searching around for my money, but I didn't feel anything. I started to panic. Did I REALLY lose my money?
I looked through my back pockets, double-checking, triple-checking, extra-extra checking, but I couldn't find it! "Oh no, guys, I lost my money!" I groaned. Greg, who was standing behind me in line, opened up his wallet and took out some money.
"Ay, don't worry about it." He said. "I have some extra money. It's on me."
I FELT LIKE FAINTING!
GREG
WAS BUYING ME
A CUPCAKE!?
SQUUUUEEEE!
Chloe and Zoey overheard and gazed over at me and Greg, with their mouths slightly open. "OMG!" Chloe said, frantically looking through her pockets. "I think I forgot MY money too!" She lied.
"Y-yeah... so did I!" Zoey joined in.
I just glared at those two.
I couldn't believe they were using him to their advantage!
Greg looked around at us awkwardly. "Ugh...-"
He was cut off by me. I pulled the money out of Zoey's pockets and said, "Here it is, and Chloe, I'm pretty sure your money is in your front pocket."
Chloe stared at me. Then she quickly blinked, nodding her head. "Wow, Nikki, ugh... t-thanks."
I could tell they were both jealous.
Once we bought our cupcakes, we all sat down in our same seats as before, and laughed and chatted about school for a while. No gossip, we just talked about our lives for a while. It was really nice!
Thankfully Mackenzie didn't really cause any drama, but my friends on the other hand... I'm getting kind of worried. What if our friendship breaks over a stupid cupcake? But then again... I am crushing on both Brandon and Greg. Maybe they think that I only like Brandon so they flirt with Greg because they think no one else likes him. I didn't bring it up, of course. I mean, Greg was right in front of me! But eventually I'll text both of them privately about it.
My friends and I have a great relationship together! I highly doubt we'd break up over some stupid cupcake.
The best stupid cupcake~
