ME AND HIM ✔️

Pt.32

Rue's POV

IT'S BEEN about a week since me and Nadine...Well, you know.

But anyways, I haven't talked to him since.

We see each other at breakfast sometimes, but other times we keep a safe distance away from each other.

Just like we should.

We haven't been back to Ivan's house either.
I haven't seen that girl...

I've been thinking about her a lot.
She... She's trapped in my head. I don't know why. She gives me a weird feeling. Like a creepy vibe sort of feeling. I get chills down my spine when I think of her. She's not a creepy person in general, she's actually very beautiful. She just... she just makes me feel weird, ok?

I look down to my bare legs and see goosebumps spread across.

See, chills.

"Hey Rue," I look to my door and see Aniyah standing in the doorway.

"Hey Aniyah, do you need something?" I ask. She pushes herself off of the door and walks into my room, taking a seat on my bed.

"The charity ball is today," she lifts her eyebrows and smirks.

"Do I have to go?" I ask, groaning.

"Yes! Everyone has too." She nudges me a bit and laughs. I'm not in the mood for a 'ball'.

"I don't feel good," Lying is the best option. Especially in situations like this.

"I know your lying,"

Or maybe not.

"I just... I'm just not good at these type of things." I sit up and get a little comfortable in criss cross apple sauce style. Don't judge.
"And neither is my brother. So he definitely can't go!"

"But he's already agreed," Aniyah says.

What.

Alex, how could you do this to me?

You were my partner,

my savior,

my-

I don't know.

I'm not gonna help you the next time you almost drown in a hot tub.

"So that just leaves you." She says and poke my stomach with her finger. I laugh a little and push her away.

"Fine, but what am I gonna wear?" Please let her have nothing for me to wear. Pretty please with cherries on top. I swear I'll be a good child for the rest of my short life.

"Nadine bought your dress for you," she smirks.

Of course he did.

I take back what I said.

"When are we leaving?" I ask.

"Around 6"

I look down at my phone and read the time.
4:30. Why didn't she tell me sooner!

"Why are you telling me so late. This leaves us only like-" how long? Sorry, I'm bad at math."I'm pretty sure this only leaves us an hour and 30 minutes!"

"Girl, relax. I can help you get ready." she laughs. "Come on, let's do your hair."
She grabs my hand and leads me over to the vanity that's in the corner of my room. "What would you like me to do, love?"

"I don't know. Surprise me." I smile. She nods her head.

She grabs my hair in her hands, "Hmm, what to do, what to do,"
