Drella

I woke up on Vic's couch. Again. I don't know what it is, I just feel like my mom doesn't even care. Maybe she still thinks I'm in my room, but wouldn't any normal parent check? I sat up and looked over at Vic. He was still asleep, snoring gently. I went and laid down next to him. He looked so free, if that was the right word. He didn't care or worry when he was asleep. When he's awake he might be the most caring person alive, but he's such a stress head.
Vic's door opened and I looked up. Mike was standing in the doorway grinning. I rolled my eyes and flopped my head back down. "Comfortable?" he smirked. "Good night I take it,"
I rolled my eyes. "You know, Mike, it's often virgins that are so obsessed by sex," I said easily.
"I'm a rare case," he chuckled. "So,"
"So what?" I frowned.
"Do you like him?" Mike asked.
"Who?"
"My mother. Who do you think?"
"Oh, no," I shook my head.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I don't like your brother like that. He's my best friend and I love him, but not like that. I don't know what I'd do without him," I explained.
"I suppose that's nice,"
"What?"
"Being his best friend,"
"It is," I smiled. "Has he really been happier since he met me?"
"Yeah," Mike nodded.
"Okay, you can go now," I teased.
"Whatever," he said and left.
"Hey," Vic said sleepily. I turned and saw he was awake now. He was slowly sitting up, ruffling his hair.
"Hi," I smiled.
"Do you feel like going to the mall?" he suddenly asked.
"Sure," I nodded. "So," I urged.
"So what?" he asked puzzled.
"Go get dressed and we can catch a late honey and raisin bagel and a frappe from Starbucks,"
"I don't like honey and raisin bagels,"
"But I do, so hurry up, Fuentes!" I said and clapped my hands. Vic shook his head and got out of bed. I got up and grabbed a change of clothes I've been keeping here. I ran ahead of Vic to the bathroom and he groaned.
When I was washed and dressed I came out. Vic was glaring at me, making me giggle. I did my hair and make up in Vic's room. I saw Vic come in wearing dark skinny jeans and a long sleeved band shirt. He smiled widely at me and I grabbed his hand. "Your hair is getting long now, Victor," I grinned.
"I know," he groaned.
"Promise you won't cut it?" I begged.
"Fine," he rolled his eyes.
We went downstairs and just as we were leaving Mike passed us.
"Nice legs, Drella," he commented, looking up and down at my exposed legs due to the shorts I were wearing.
"Shut up," I stuck my tongue out.
"I like seeing your legs exposed,"
"And I like seeing your face covered, Michael," I retorted.
"Harsh," Mike smiled lightly.
"Finished?" Vic asked amused.
"I'm done," I nodded. "Ask Mr Virgin," I urged.
"I am not a virgin!" he called as we left.
"He is a virgin, right?" I asked as we were in Vic's car.
"He is. He just likes pretending," Vic explained. We started to drive to the mall and I looked across at Vic. He smiled, looking at the road.
"Hey, Vic?" I asked.
"Hmmm?"
"Are you a virgin?" I asked carefully.
"Yeah," he nodded, not looking at me.
"What's up?" I asked and nudged him. He still wasn't looking at me. "Are you embarrassed?" I asked.
"Are you?" he asked, ignoring me.
"No," I muttered.
"What was it like?"
"Painful. At least the first time. He seemed to enjoy himself though," I chuckled.
"Have you been with many guys?"
"Nope," I shook my head. "Just one. He was my boyfriend back in New York," I explained. "He wasn't a nice guy though,"
"I hope you find someone nice," Vic smiled.
"Me too,"
"And someone that loves art as much as you,"
"For my final piece I'm doing a collage of your face," I teased.
"And I'm doing a sculpture inspired by your hatred of macaroni cheese," Vic joked. "Now let's get your damn bagel," he said as he pulled into the mall parking lot.
We parked up and went inside. I dragged Vic into Starbucks and then to a stall. I brought my food and went over to a bench. We sat down and I rested my head up against Vic's shoulder and yawned in between drinking my frappe.
"I'm so tired," I yawned again.
"Maybe you should go to sleep instead of climbing trees and coming to mine late at night," he joked. I put my head up to look at him with raised eyebrows.
"Shut up," I replied. "You love me, best friend,"
"I do, best friend. Do you love me?"
"I do," I rolled my eyes. I looked across to the shops and saw two guys leaning against the wall. "Isn't that that guy?" I asked.
"You mean the one you have a crush on?"
"I do not!" I exclaimed.
"Whatever,"
"I don't. I don't know him yet," I shrugged. "What's his name again?"
"Jaime,"
"Who's his friend?" I asked.
"Tony Perry,"
"Tony looks sad," I noted.
"I guess he is," Vic shrugged.
"Is he bullied?"
"Yeah," Vic nodded. "He's a nice guy. He's really shy though,"
"He has that same look that you do,"
"What look?" he frowned.
"That means you're sad inside but you don't want people to know,"
"Oh," he muttered.
"I don't care if you have sad eyes. I have enough smiles for both of us,"
"Thanks Ella,"
"You are welcome, Victor," I said, making him laugh. "So who are you crushing on?"
"No one,"
"Vic," I groaned.
"Really?"
"Come on," I urged.
"Her name is Hannah,"
"Is she pretty?"
"Yeah,"
"You don't mean Hannah with the highlights from my History class?" I rushed and he nodded. "You are asking her out,"
"No way," he shook his head.
"Yes!"
"Ella?"
"You are!" I cut him off.
"Drella," he rushed. "Jaime is walking over,"
"What?" I gasped. I looked up and saw Jaime and Tony walking towards us. I tucked some hair behind my ear and Vic laughed quietly. I glared at him and he stopped. Jaime stopped in front of me and grinned.
"Hey, I'm Jaime," he said easily.
"Hi, Drella," I replied.
"You go to my school. I've seen you around,"
"Yeah, I do," I smiled.
"Hey Vic," Tony waved from behind Jaime.
"Hi guys," Vic waved back.
"This is Tony," Jaime introduced him.
"Nice to meet you,"
"So, have you heard about the Halloween party going down at Josh Davie's house?"
"I have now," I said. "Do I know him?" I asked Vic.
"Nope. You're too smart to be in any of his classes," Vic explained.
"Got you," I smiled.
"Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" Jaime asked quickly.
"As friends or as a date?"
"A date?" Jaime asked hopefully.
"Make you a deal. If I say yes to you, will Tony take Vic as his date?" I asked. I saw Tony look confused.
"She's kidding," Vic filled in.
"Is that a yes?" Jaime asked.
"Yeah," I nodded. "Find me at school and give me your number,"
"Great!"
"Hime, we got to go," Tony suddenly said.
"Oh yeah. I'll see you really soon," he grinned.
"Okay," I smiled.
"Oh and your hair looks really pretty," he added before running away with Tony.
"You just got a date," Vic nudged me.
"I know," I grinned.
"Hug?" he offered. I hugged Vic excitedly and smiled into his shoulder. "What's up?"
"This stuff just doesn't happen to me," I explained.
