Love Is No Fairy Tale - Olivia W (the reader ebook .TXT) 📗

our stuff and walked to my car. Sara was still asleep. Isabell sat in the passenger seat and Isabel sat in the back again. We ended up going to an old coffee shop which smelled like coffee and bacon. “Food..” Isabell moaned as she glanced at all the pastries. I smile as we walk to a table Amber and Isabel sitting across from me. When a waitress came I ordered a cup of coffee Amber ordered an orange juice and Isabel ordered one too. A few guys were to the back of the cafe and looked like they were looking at us. “College guys?” I asked glancing at Amber. She shrugged her shoulders. “Yea you Know Nick His older brother is the one with dark brown hair” says Isabel sipping her root beer. I Nod. “I think he likes you he's staring at you” says Amber. I shrugged “I don't want a guy I just want food” the Waitress finally came back to take our orders. Me and Isabel ordered Biscuits and Gravy and Amber ordered Cinnamon rolls. When the food came and she went to the bathroom we both stole a bite of it laughing. “What if a teacher came in here?” asks Amber scooting closer. “Just say I'm going through a really hard time and you guys wanted to take me out” I say Amber kicked me and I inhaled a scream. “Don't look stupid a guy is coming over here” she whispers. “Fuck you!” I growl. She ignored me and pretended to get a text message. “Hey girls” I turned to see a guy with black hair and brown eyes #SexyJock. “Hey” we all say. I wondered if he came over for me but then he glanced at Isabell for a second too long.  “Why dont you pull up a chair” I say gesturing to the empty seat beside Isabell. he smiled at me doing just that. “I’m Ethan” he offers. “Amanda I say shaking his hand. “Isabel” she didn't look at him and he looked slightly hurt. “Amber” says Amber happily. This made him smile. “So shouldn't you guys be at school?” he asks raising an eyebrow. “We're making it a late start” says Amber. He smiles. “Don't you guys have school or at least some football practice to get to?” I asked glancing at his buddies who were glancing at us. “Honestly I don't even remember if we have school today” this caused us to laugh. “We were talking about Aidan” says Isabel. A vibe rolled off Ethan and I felt it hit my stomach. “Oh you know Aidan?” his voice sounded 5 notches less happy than it was. Was I the only one noticing this? Isabel nodded. “ I don't know him personally but I know he's Nicks older brother. Nicks in our grade and kinda has a thing for her” she says glancing at me. He looked at me to. “Isn't she cute” says Amber. I looked at her and kicked her under the table. “Ohm” she cleared her voice. “I have to go to the bathroom” says Amber jumping out of her seat. I pushed out of mine and speed walked after her. Glancing at Isabell as her eyes widened. We speed walked around the desk corner. “Aren't they cute? He totally likes her!” yells Amber “Shut up I was the first to even notice” I peeked around the corner with her as Ethan looked like he was talking. “I Wish guys looked at me like that” I rolled my eyes. “The right guy just hasn't seen you” I say. We waited about 5 more minutes then walked back to our table. Isabelle's cheeks were pink and Ethan looked like he was waiting for a response. “She says yes” I say he smiles as she snaps her head up. “Great Thomas's party tomorrow night you guys should come if I had one of your phone numbers I could give you the address” he turned his head and smiled at Isabel who looked helpless. Ethan gave her a pen and stuck out his arm. She thought for a moment and wrote it down.  “Great! Nice meeting you ladies and your bills on me” before I could object he was out of his seat and already walking back to his friends who were standing. We both smiled at Isabel. “He's cute...how red are my cheeks? And you guys left!” she whines. “We wanted him to talk to you personally how awkward would be him talking to you and us just starring” says Amber finishing her food. “Yes honestly Is, he LIKES you..did any of you even noticed his change of mood when you brought up Aidan” Amber shook her head chewing. “I didn't..” Says Isabel. I sigh “ I can't eat anymore let's go” they both nodded. In the car, it was quiet thanks to our big delicious breakfast. I didn't mind the silence and it didn't look like anyone else did. When we got to the school I parked and we crawled out. “It's 10:38” says Amber. I nod “When are you gonna get a phone?” Asks Is. I shrugged. “Soon though”. When we walked in we sighed as we walked into the office. Mrs. Piers raised her eyebrows at us. “Well don't we look terribly sick” she says. “We just need three late slips..” says Amber her voice dull. Mrs. Piers pulled the slips out and started writing. “I'll make sure to let Mr. Martin know this” we grabbed are slips and left without a word. “Why does she act like she's the worst cop ever” says Amber “I'll see you guys later?”

“Yea” we both say quickly. Isabel left and walked off to health. “It's nice to see her opening up” I say as we enter the gym. “I'll say I think we've done something right”. People were running around the track again. We got changed first and I felt stupid for forgetting clothes...Again. I borrowed Ambers close again and gave my slip to Mr. Blake as we walked out. “Thank you for joining us ladies,   I liked to see you after school” Does he mean class or actually school? I wanted to ask but just nodded following Amber onto the track. “Go get um” says Amber. I watched as Nick ran past me. I smiled at her and pushed forward. Stomping my feet and driving my arms I ran right beside him. “Hey where have you been?” he asks slowing into a jog. “We went out for breakfast” his face changed into something I couldn't pick up. “We as in..?”

“Me Amber and Isabel” he nodded. “So your friends with Isabel now” it wasn't a question. “Yea what about it?” he sighed walking now. I do the same. “I don't want you to think I'm judging hard or something it's your choice whether to hang out with her I think it's nice” my eyes brightened as I remembered this morning “Oh I saw you brother this morning and some of his pals. His friend Ethan totally has it for her and he paid for our bill” Nick cocked his head. “You know my brother?”

“ I know his name..thanks to Amber. He Invited us to Thomas's house tomorrow” I say glancing at him. He smiled. “His party..right..and are you going?” I nod “ So what should I expect? is there a pool?” Nick smiled. “Nah his house is on a private beach though. His parents are out for the weekend in Florida, they leave him for weeks at a time. As an only child I dont think that's right” I nodded. “Does he ever talk about it or show it on his face?” he sighs thinking. “You can just tell. We as in me my brother and our pals all know he doesn't like to be in the house alone so we invite him to go everywhere and stay with us. Not like its a sin either he's practically another brother to me” I smile “I'm an only child to”

“Huh, where'd you move from?”

“Texas. I've moved a lot ever since my mom died” he stared at me. “Amanda I'm sorry..” I smile. “No, its fine I dont mind talking about it I just...people suck. I've moved so many times to people I thought gave a crap. You know from Washington to California to Oregon to Montana to Nebraska to Texas and finally..here” he listened. “Wow..and what about now? Do you like it here..with Sara?” I smile at him and nod. “I have good memories of Sara I have some hope with her” he nods. “Well, I hope you dont go anywhere” I smile. We reached the starting line again and I walked to Amber who was sitting on a bench with a water bottle. She handed it to me and I drank. “Your buddy has been watching you” she says glancing to my right. I glanced at Justin who was leaning against a bench with his knees to his chest. “Hm” I took the water bottle and walked over to him sitting a foot away. I opened my mouth but he beat me to it “Where have you been?”

“Amber and Isabel spent the night at my house and then we got breakfast this morning together” he stared at me as if not believing me. “Did you get in trouble with Mr. Ritter? I'm sorry about the other day” he looked confused “What for?” I was quiet for a minute. “For not have done something when he sent you to the office” he shrugged. “It's fine Mr. Martin doesn't even do anything he just lets me watch T.V in his office” I smile with a little laugh. “That sounds fun” he nodded slowly. Silence took over and I broke it. “Do you know Thomas?”

“I dont know him personally but I got invited with Amber and Isabel to go” Justin's eyes seemed to take a darker blue color. “Who invited you?” I sigh

“I met a guy at breakfast who likes Isabelle” I say. He nodded slowly and it came to me that he was barely blinking. Not that it was creepy but I wondered how he managed to barely do it. “So are you going?” I ask slowly. He glared slightly. “Yes I'm going, half the school is going” he seemed angry so I didn't want to push it. He sat up and crisscrossed his legs. “Thomas lives on this big beach so it's basically a big barbecue and there's gonna be s'mores and obviously you can go swimming” I nodded with a smile. “Carter keep walking!” I groaned standing. “I'll see you later” He gave me a nod. When we got back out from the locker room I waited for the bell to ring before walking to Mr. Blake. “Amanda I wanted to talk to you about joining track” he says glancing at his clipboard. “Oh Right um, I'm not really interested in track I guess. I've already done track for two years and I'm kinda over it” he nodded with a chuckle. “Well that's a shame your pretty fast and I'd love to have you on my team. If you're... still interested in a sport there's basketball,  volleyball, soccer and cheerleading sign-ups in the office” “Thanks” I say “No problem” with that I left and went to class. On my way to the cafeteria, Amber appeared at my side. “Hey, are you interested in cheerleading?” I ask. Her eyes brightened and I felt like laughing, “OH MY GOD YES!” Isabell appeared on my right. “Whos dying?” she asks. Amber ran around wrapping her arms around Is. “Would you do cheer with us?! Say you will!” she begs. “Cheerleading?” asks Is looking at me. I can't help but laugh. “I dont know but it sounds kinda like a good idea I mean I can do a flip” I say with a shrug. “I can do a cartwheel!” yells Amber proudly. “Fine” we stopped at the office to get
