Summer Nights - IssaJade (ereader manga .TXT) 📗

I remember my summer ever so clearly, I made some new memories, although admittedly, not just good memories. It was my first love. It was the summer that I fell in love with my brother's best friend. I'm 14, the name's Jade, and now summer's been and gone, Year 10 now. I want to tell you about my summer though, so here goes.

His name was Josh. I never really liked him before. I didn't stare at him longinly like my friends often did with their guys at school, okay, well, just slightly, you see, I live just by a park, and you can easily climb over the low fence from the park into our garden, and that's what people did when they wanted to see the guy who lived next door.
That's how I started liking him, they cut through the garden, all their mates, and he looked at me through the window, he didn't have his shirt on, but damn he was gorgeous and skinny, they knocked on the front door, obviously asking if my brother would be there, I answered it.
"Is Leon there?" That was the guy I liked asking me! I wasn't about to go all mushy though.
"Yeah... Leon!" I shouted up the stairs, a she was in his room. "Door!"
"Who is it?"
"Get up and check yourself you lazy gay!" Now, my brother wasn't actually gay, but he wore skinny jeans and checkered tops, totally gay in a girls' world.
I turned back to them and told them he'd be down in a minute, they thanked me and I went back into the living room, my brother came down, about to go out. When I heard one of his friend's whisper to him, 'Your sister's hot.' but that statement didn't come from the guy it should have come from, which slightly dissapointed me.
And as they walked past the window once more, I stared back at the guy I adored, as he continued staring at me, and finally I shocked myself and jumped.
I was in love with my brother's best mate.

Wow. Oh boy. Damn it. Why me?!

That was the time I first admitted it to anybody, I got onto the computer straight away, logged into MSN and consulted my friend on what to do, she was heather, and she was 16, a total male magnet, she'd helped me with my love life before, trying to set me up, never liked any of the guys though, apart from one, who had the same name as the guy I like now, coincidence!
"It's like, my brother's best friend though, what do I do?"
"Show him what you've got, make him jealous, if he hasn't fell for already, which is impossible damn girl, make him fall for you. I'm suprised you don't have all the guys swooning over you. ^.^ Go girl! XD"
"How do I make him fall for me though?"
"Dear god girl, flirt with other guys infront of him, show your hips and more of your skin! Legs! Arms! Waist!"
"Sure.."
Our internet conversation was pretty weird that night, telling me to get in there, god, I bet he doesn't even know my name! Well, I hope he does though.. I hope he has fallen for me.. Dammit Jade, no chance.


I did as Heather had said, I wore my skirts, and short-sleeved T-shirts, I never showed my belly though. I didn't feel as though he looked though, I know he did look at our direction, but my friends were absolutely more gorgeous than me, so he was probably looking at them.
I felt like I had to give up because I really couldn't go on like this, my friends would start thinking of me as a slut like Yasmin or Maisy.
Little when I though that did I know I would meet him that very night.


Street-raving party, 10pm, music blaring, people drinking, smoking, dancing, vomitting, I was there, my friends were there, my brother was there, his mates were there. My almighty beauty was there. It had been a boiling day, now outside it was raining, thundering and lightning, but inside it was dancing, partying complete raving.
Now that I think, I never told you my beauty's name, did I? It was Josh.

1 hour into the party, 11pm, I couldn't stand the noise any longer and I ran out the back door, all the smokers were there and in the shed, so I made my way down the path and sat on the wingset in the garden, it was ultimatley pouring now, and I was drenched within 30 seconds. But I thought whatever.

It seemed that Josh could stand the party any longer, as he was the one running out, I could see it though, I couldn't stand him like that, he was staggering or running out the back door into the garden, I hated people like that, getting drunk at 16, I thought he was a decent person.
He couldn't think straight it was obvious, he came over to me and sat on his knees infront of me.
"Heeeyy, Jade!" He slurred out.
"What?!" I didn't mean to sound that angry or rude, but I spat the word out.
"Did I ever tell you, that you is gorgeous?"
I stood up "Get lost. 'Cause I though you were more decent than you are now. You wont remember it in the morning but, I though I loved you. How daft was I?"
He smirked, and I stepped back horrified. "Got'cha."
"W-What?"
"Ha, Jade, I'm not drunk, I just wanted you to admit those gorgeous words from your lips."
"Cheat."
"Oh, I remember what you said and it's not even morning, what should I say? Hm, I love you too?"
"Okay, you're drunk." It was still raining, and my top was white, you could probably see through it by now, and that was not a good thing for me. I tried to push past him, but he grabbed by waist and pulled me down...


We were lying on the wet grass now, we were both soaked, he was half on top of me with his arm gripped around by waist as we looked up to the sky. "I wasn't lying when I said I loved you." He told me.
"I wasn't lying when I said I hated you."
"You never said you hated me." He stared at me, looking a bit confused.
"Exactly!"
By now quite a few people had gathered watching us, my brother and his mates, and my mates. But I didn't care anymore.
This was an ace party, it had been an ace summer, I just got myself an ace boyfriend. Absolutely.. perfect.
