I got Trina's water and a bottle of vodka for myself. The kitchen was full of teenagers throwing up. Some had also passed out on the floor. I couldn't hide my disgust. I was glad when I got the items and made it out of there.
I got back to our meeting area and handed Trina her water. I opened the bottle of vodka and tasted the hot liquid. I could feel Aaron's eyes on me.
Kimberly and Troy were also drinking a bottle of vodka. Danny was still drinking whiskey and Aaron was still holding his glass of punch juice.
"Nicole!" Trina says.
I look at her.
"You drink alcohol?" She asks shocked with wide eyes.
"Not much Trina! Only one bottle"
I pour more of the liquor into my mouth and it burns my throat.
"Mom is going t rip your head off if she finds out" Trina whispers.
"You wouldn't tell her would you?"
"I won't but I can't promise you that" Trina whispers
I take another drink of the hot liquor. Kimberly gets up. She walks to the counter and comes back holding our records book. It was a sizeable book with a black cover.
"So let's check our points shall we?" Kimberly says.
"Which points?" Trina whispers.
"Its just a group thing! I will explain later" I whisper back taking another gulp of vodka. Trina looks at my every move with disgust.
"This week has been a very interesting one indeed." Kimberly says and flips her blond hair.
"So starting from the bottom" Kimberly says with a smirk.
I chuckle. There is no way I'll be at the bottom.
"We have Aaron with 28 points"
Kimberly says.
We are all shocked. "Aaron didn't pull up a stunt this week cos these were the points he earned last week." Kimberly states.
We all stare at him.
"How come you didn't pull a stunt this week Aaron?" I ask.
"I didn't even notice" Danny adds
"Me neither" Troy follows
"Yeah" Kimberly says.
He smiles coyly. Seeing his full pink lips again made me remember what happened between us like ten minutes ago.
"Football practice got me" he says simply.
"You still need to pull a stunt man" Troy points out.
Aaron raises his hands in mock surrender.
"I promise I'll pull some this week" he says in his cheerful bass voice and I smile.
"You better" Kimberly says with a glare. Aaron chuckles. He was cute though.
"The next with 50 points is Troy" Kimberly announces.
Troy grins widely.
"That's me!!" He announces and we all burst into hysteria.
"But remember you have to pull a stunt this week too dear Troy" Kimberly reminds.
"Sure sexy" he says with a grin.
Kimberly rolls her eyes at him.
"Next on the list with 98 points is me" she says proudly.
Troy claps and everyone is caught off guard.
"Congrats Kim" Aaron says.
Danny chuckles.
"Now for the 1st and 2nd" Kimberly says with enthusiasm.
"For the first is Danny with 106 points" she says and Danny smiles proudly as we applaud him.
"Congrats Danny" Kimberly says and gives him a hug.
"And the second is our dear Alpha Nikki with a 103 points" she announces and they applaud.
"Congrats Nikki" Kimberly says
I tuck my braided hair behind my ear and smile. I knew my dimples were showing.
"So that's it. Next week, we will know our new scores! So pull a very interesting and shocking stunt and you'll have high scores" Kimberly says.
"Alright" Troy says as if bored with a yawn. I chuckle and Trina does. Aaron too grins.
Kimberly turns red.
"Troy!" She yells
"What? You always give the same speech" Troy says with his eyes wide.
Kimberly laughs and we all laugh along.
"I hate you Troy" Kimberly says
"And I love you Kimberly" Troy says with a smirk.
"Truth or dare coming up! Who wants to play?" Danny announces.
We all raise our hands.
"Who's starting?" Danny asks.
"Me!" Troy says and I chuckle. He was always the first to start. And I know the first person he will ask. Kimberly.
"Okay! Proceed" Danny says with a smile.
"Kimberly truth or dare?" Troy asks and I grin. I knew it!
Kimberly frowns.
"Truth" she says.
"Do you hate me?" Troy asks.
"Of course not Troy" she says with a laugh.
Troy smiles and his blue eyes light up.
"Danny truth or dare?" Kimberly says.
"Truth" Danny says
"How many girls have you slept with this week?" Kimberly asks
Trina's eyes widen.
A chuckle escapes my lips. That's hot.
Danny scratches his head and gives a small smile.
"Like three" he finally admits and I hear Trina gasp.
He laughs.
"Good going Danny" Troy says and this made me laugh.
"Troy truth or dare?" Danny asks.
"Truth" Troy says
"How many bottles of vodka have you taken this week?" Danny asks.
Troy thinks for a moment.
"Six bottles" he says with amusement.
"Oh my gosh Troy!" Kimberly blurts
"What?!" Troy asks
"That's too much to take bro" Aaron spits with concern in his green irises.
"Okay I'll minimize" Troy says.
"Trina truth or dare?" Troy asks.
"Truth" she replies.
"Do you have a boyfriend or a crush?" Troy says.
I look at Trina.
"A crush" she says. Wow! She never told me about it.
"Awwwm! The alpha's little sister has a crush on a guy!" Kimberly coed.
Trina smiled.
"Tell me! Is he cute?" Kimberly asks.
"Yeah" she answers
"Now its your turn to ask Trina" Danny says
"Aaron truth or dare?" Trina asks.
"Truth" Aaron replies
"Do you have a girlfriend or a crush?" Trina asks
Aaron chuckles.
"A crush and I want her to be my girlfriend soon" he says.
"Really! Aaron has a crush!!!" Troy announces.
I chuckle.
"Who is it Aaron?" Trina urges
"I can't say! But you'll soon find out" Aaron says.
"Is she hot?" Danny asks.
"Yup" Aaron replies.
"I bet its Kate" Troy spits
"You mean Kate Sanders? No" Aaron replies.
"Give us a name Aaron" Kimberly says.
"I said you'll find out later" Aaron says.
Kimberly rolls her eyes.
"Nikki truth or dare? You're the only one left" Kimberly spits.
"Truth" I say.
"Why is everyone picking truth today?" Danny asks amused.
"Yeah" Aaron agrees.
"Who was your first kiss?" Kimberly asks. A smile playing about her lips.
I pause. My first kiss? No one has kissed me until tonight. I guess my first kiss is Aaron. But I can't say it especially if he's here. I should have chosen dare instead.
"We're waiting Nikki" Troy says with a smirk.
Danny too was waiting patiently.
Aaron looked uncomfortable.
Trina and Kimberly were waiting for me to spill it with smiles on their faces.
I bit my lip. Gosh! This is so hard.
"I think its a bit uncomfortable for her! Why don't you ask her something else?" Aaron spits.
"Oh come on! Its not that bad! A girl like Nikki can tell us her first kiss" Kimberly protests.
"Mm hmm" Troy adds.
"Jake" I say out of the blue. Why did I even mention his name? We only met at the mall. And he gave me a ride home! We didn't do anything. I regret it now. I should've just said Aaron. But I don't want Aaron's ego to grow because he was the first to kiss the Alpha.
"Who's Jake?" Danny asks.
"A guy she met at the mall" Trina says.
"Is it him?" She asks trying to verify.
I nod. I see the disappointed look on Aaron's face.
"A guy you met at the mall huh?" Kimberly says amused.
"Is he handsome?" Kimberly asks.
I nod.
"He's a blond too" Trina adds
"Whoosh! Nice going Nikki. A Blondie" Troy spits amused.
I laugh nervously.
"I would like to meet him someday" Danny says.
"Me too" Trina and Kimberly say at the same time.
Aaron is quiet. His eyes are darker now. The bright beautiful green eyes are gone and his jaw is clenched. I look at his fists and they are clenched. Whats up with him?
"Excuse me" Aaron says and walks out of the room.
No one noticed how angry and upset he was.
Danny gets up too.
"I have to go home. Its 3:56 in the morning"he says.
3:56? Time goes so fast.
" wait for us Danny"I say.
He nods and Trina and I say goodbye to Troy and Kimberly.
With Danny leading the way, we got downstairs.
The place was crowded and the disco lights kept going on and off with different colours. Most of the teenagers were drunk as usual and some were busy grinding.
Trina gasps. I feel bad.
The whole place smells like alcohol and is littered with plastic cups and empty bottles of whiskey and vodka.
Troy would have to clean this up! Its such a mess!
We walk through the crowds. Someone grabs Trina's arm and I smack it hard! Trina giggles.
I spot Aaron at the counter in the hall. He was drinking a bottle of whiskey and a redhead was busy flirting with him. His dark brown hair shines in the light.
He laughs ever so slightly and raises his head. His eyes lock with mine and the smile goes. He looks upset again. But he takes his eyes off me and looks at the redhead again.
She puts her hand on his shoulders and flips her red hair. Then she begins to grind on him.
He moves closer to her with his tall body frame and kisses her. Who was she? Maybe his crush! I've never seen her before.
I take my eyes off and continue to walk straight ahead without looking at the two again.
We got back to the parking lot. We sat in Danny's Bentley and we left for home.
We got back home at exactly 4:38am.
"I've never been to such a crazy party before" Trina gushes
"Shhh! You're going to wake mom and dad up and we are both going to get grounded" I whisper yell at her.
Trina giggles.
"That party is sick! How many times have you gone to those kind of parties?" Trina whispers in my ear. We are currently standing at the doorway.
"Countless times" I reply.
"I'm going with you to the next one"Trina whispers and I'm surprised. I thought she wouldn't like the way people got drunk and threw up.
I laugh.
" your friends too are awesome especially Kimberly! She's so cool"she adds.
"Yeah. They are nice" I say.
Trina and I sneaked into our rooms making sure not to make a single sound or else we're dead.
I took off my jewels and my dress as soon as I entered my room. I pulled off my black boots and threw them in my closet. I was exhausted. I grabbed my make up wipes and cleaned all the make up on my face.
Then I got into my pyjamas and then into my bed. I remember the kiss I had with Aaron tonight. It was awkward but I liked it. I smile and go to bed.
°~â¢~â¢Â°
I woke up with a headache. I lazily checked the time on my phone and it was 56 minutes past twelve. What? How long have I been sleeping? I guess its the effect of the vodka.
I climb out of bed. I look at my reflection in the mirror. I look messed up. My braided hair is tangled, my face looks kind of swollen but my blue eyes still shone. I went to take a quick shower and brushed my teeth
I got some pills from the drawer to suppress the headache. Then I went into my closet. I picked my bikini. I felt like swimming. Surprisingly, I wasn't hungry.
I opened my bedroom door and went downstairs. Trina was in the hall watching Game Shakers on the television.
"Where's mom and dad?" I ask surprised they aren't around.
"You finally came out!" Trina gushes.
I shrug.
"Mom went to the salon and dad is in his room"she replies with a shrug.
I make my way to the door.
" where are you going?"Trina asks raising a brow.
"I'm going to swim in the backyard"
"Alright! " she says.
I open the door and enter the backyard. I quickly undressed and wore my bikini. It was striped black and white and I liked the way it revealed my curves. I dived into the pool of water and resurfaced taking in a deep breath. My hair was sticking onto my skin.
The sun was out and the sky was bright blue. I felt better. My headache too had subsided. I swam for sometime in the pool. Then I came out. I got my towel and began drying myself.
I got my bathrobe and put it on.
I walked back to my bedroom. Trina was still in the hall glued to the television.
I got dressed in tight yellow shorts and a magenta blouse. I dried my hair and applied some gel in it. Then I wore yellow sneakers.
I picked my phone. There were no missed calls nor messages from anyone.
I placed it in the back pocket of my shorts and left the room.
The time on the wall clock read 1:32pm in the hall. I sat in a couch.
"You haven't had breakfast Nikki" Trina says
"Yeah! What did mom cook today?" I ask
"Burgers" Trina replies.
"Mm! My favourite" I say and ran to the kitchen. I picked up a beef burger and took a glass of orange juice.
I sat at the dining hall and ate the burger.
"So spicy" I said.
"Yup!" Trina agreed.
I washed the plate when I was done and guzzled the orange juice. I walked to the hall . I was full now.
"You didn't tell me Jake kissed you at the mall?" Trina asks.
"Well its kind of personal" I lie.
"Hmm! But I still found out! I really need to meet this guy" Trina says.
"So how was the kiss?" Trina asks curious.
I thought of how Aaron's own was like yesterday.
"It was short and slow" I reply.
Trina chuckles.
"Did you like it?" Trina asks.
"You ask so many questions Trina!" I scold.
"Yeah" I say.
Trina giggles.
"So who's your crush Trina?" I ask.
She smiles and covers her face with her hands.
"Tell me" I scold.
"Okay! Okay! Just relax" Trina says and takes a deep breath. I raise my eyebrow.
"Its......." She trails off and the door goes open. Mom enters and Jake follows.
What is he doing here?
