NO BROKEN HEARTS- BEBE REXHA FT NICKI MINAJ.
Friday is finally here and Meredith has been smiling like a clown all day. Especially since she has been anticipating seeing me in a gown.
She’s dropping me off at home, since I walked to school today.
Again.
And she already has her agenda for the night.
“Then we’re gonna drink, and dance and flirt” wiggling her brows at me when saying the last part.
“eww, I don’t drink” I had to make that clear.
Then she fake gasped and placed a hand over her heart.
“You mean to say sixteen years on earth has been a waste?”
hmm, she sure can act.
“You’re exaggerating” I rolled my eyes at her.
“The god of tequila would be so pissed with you. hmmmph”
honestly, now she’s faking anger? someone get me a Grammy.
wait!? what in the world is tequila?
“what’s a tequila?” I asked her with a cocked brow. really, what is it? never heard of that before.
More dramatic gasps from her and she placed the back of her hand over her forehead.
“Am I still alive? Grandpa is that you?” she said in a weak voice.
“err- are you okay?” I shook her shoulder. You can never tell. She could really be dying.
“You just touched me! that means I’m alive. And I’m alive on a planet in which someone is asking me what is a tequila.”
can someone come and shoot me right now? I think I just committed a taboo by not knowing what a err- terila is?
What a way to prove I belong to the weirdos carnival.
“I’m sorry I shouldn’t have- ouch” I’m honestly trying to apologize and she just smacked my arm.
“Don’t you ever apologize to me, ever again. Got that?” glaring at me I nodded.
” Great now where was I?” I placed my full focus on her. maybe I could learn a thing or two.
Placing her left hand on her chin to think and her right hand controlling the steering wheel, she finally remembered.
“Alright, a tequila is- why is there a sexy soul on your lawn?”
I didn’t understand a dime of what she just said.
If someone made a bet on my confusion at this point they’ll possibly become millionaires.
“uhm-” no words, really nothing to tell her that she just made absolutely no sense.
But she grabbed my face and made me look forward. It was only then I realized I had gotten home.
Soon enough, I spotted her confusion.
The familiar Red Audi was parked right in front of my house and an effortlessly sexy looking Clement was leaning against the car, with his attention on the phone he was pressing.
With a navy green short sleeve top and black skinny jeans, to say he looked hot was an understatement. A few strands of hair draping on his face glistening in the sun like golden strings. The muscles of his lean body on perfect display like a carved out magazine novel, he-
“uhun, when you’re done drooling over him, you kindly explain why Dylan McConnel is waiting for you” using her hand to shut my mouth that I just noticed was ajar while admiring Clement.
wait, did she just call him Dylan?
“what did you say his name was?” wiping my mouth with my hand incase of any stray saliva
“Dylan McConnel? you know popular guy at school, sexy running back of our schools football team, really hot, all girls wanna date him, all guys wanna be him” her tone sounded more like she just said the word ‘durh’ and she shrugged.
How come I didn’t know all if this and I’ve been in this school way longer than she has.
So I’ve never attended any school extracurricular. sue me.
But his name is Dylan? has he been lying to me?
” You didn’t know, did you?” Meredith pulled me out of my thoughts, narrowing her eyes at me.
” N-no, what’s his full name?” he couldn’t have lied just to be close to me, could he?
“Dylan Clement McConnel, any problem?” she asked turning off the engine of her car.
“oh, nothing” I let out a sigh of relief, “he only told me his name was Clement”
“so, it is certain, he’s waiting for you. Why’s he outside?” she turned her gaze back to Clement who was still typing away on his phone.
“No one’s home”
“and he waited, wow. who is he to you?” now she’s wiggling her brows again.
why does she keep doing that? is her forehead itchy?
“he’s a.. uh… friend?” would he be okay with people knowing we’re friends?
“oh, a friend. and he’s a boy.”
“yeah?” of course he’s a boy is she blind?
“So he’s like… your boy-friend” I can barely see her eyeballs with the way her eyes are narrowed.
” Yes- wait! n-no, no, no he’s not” I just realized where she was headed.
Gosh, is it just me or is it getting hotter in here?
“Yup, and the way you’re red is a confirmation, you naughty girl” with the way she’s smiling, I can actually count her entire set of teeth.
I groaned and got out of the car, walking up to Clement with Meredith’s laughter trailing behind.
“hi” I waved when I was a few feet away taking his mind off his phone.
“hey, where have you been?” now his eyes narrowed ” and why do you look flushed?”
“I uhm…” thinking of what to say when the devils voice piped up
“hey, I’m Meredith” she stretched forth a hand for a handshake and he took the hand.
“I know you, we take gym class together right?” he asked her while I’m trying to breathe to restore my oxygen and color.
She nodded vigorously as they let each other’s hands go and an idea popped into my head.
“You never told me your name is Dylan” I crossed my hands over my chest.
“How did you find out?” he questioned back, with a raised brow
“Someone told me” now my hands had dropped to my sides.
He stole a quick glance at Meredith who in turn flashed him a million dollar smile.
damn she’s pretty.
he might begin to take interest in her.
not like it bothers me but…
He returned his gaze to me.
“Well I told you it’s Clement and that’s not a lie” he shrugged
“What if I mistakenly called you Clement in school and I embarrassed you?” did my voice really need to go weak right now.
” I wouldn’t bother, I told you to call me that, so no problem ”
“but-” I was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
who else?
oh yeah. Meredith.
“so uhm… Dylan are you going for the party tonight?”
I’m so gonna kill this child.
but no… i can’t.
“hell yeah, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. But that’s part of the reason am here” he said now looking at me.
“it is?” both Meredith and I said simultaneously.
Alas, something we go together on.
“yup, I wanted to invite you Iris”
He wanted to invite me? he came all the way here to invite me to a party I was already attending?
“No need sugarplum, cause she’s going already”
Meredith!!
“really?” he actually looked happy. Happy to go with me?
Am I missing out on something?
“uhun”
This girl’s got to really let me answer my questions.
“That’s great, Meredith are you going too?”
oh yeah she is.
“Who do you think invited her first?” she folded her arms and narrowed her eyes.
Clement just grinned widely and said ” So I’ll pick you guys by uh-”
“eight, same venue” she replied pointing to my house, now moving her finger back to Clement ” don’t be late”
“I’ll try, see you guys then” Clement hopped into his car and drove off while I turned to Meredith.
“Do you think this is a good idea?” I’m still unsure, believe me.
“Of course it is, and guess what. no one would be around to hurt you” placing both hands on my shoulder.
“Really?” final step of confirmation.
“Yes really girl, haven’t you heard? No broken hearts in the club”.
Nope I’ve never heard, but that was enough soothing.
I’m doing this.
” let’s do this” now am enthusiastic.
“cool, I’ll be over by six, don’t over eat” she yelled as she began walking back to her car and driving away.
So I’ve learnt a new deal today.
No broken hearts in the club.
