This Is What Happens When You Live With 8 Guys, Me :) [best books to read for beginners .TXT] 📗

“Your name.” I say with a smile and he chuckles.

“Ryder.” he says.

“Ryder....Okay, well I'm-” I started to say.

“I know who you are.” he says.

“Creeper alert.” I say, “I'm joking. See ya around, Ryder.” I say and meet up with my girls. We started to walk back to the gym and we couldn't stop talking. We weren't even walking in formation. Just in a straight line with me in the middle. There was still one hour of P.E. left so we just chilled in the gym watching the volleyball game and cheered for Dani and Talia. After, we had lunch and we talked a lot, about what just happened with that hot guy Ryder and how Xavier might have gotten jealous, we also talked about the plan I had for Xavier but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen. Matt ate lunch with us but he's cool. He's like my guy best friend, no, he's like my brother. Not anything like my actual brother Jackson, but he's like.... like my twin brother. Yeah...

Well, Matt said that he was starting to get Xavier into the idea of taking me on a date so maybe this plan might happen. Dani says it's a bit too harsh, she agrees that he is an asshole but it's still a bit extreme. Talia thinks the same and Syl loves the idea and wants to help me make it happen, also wants to be there when it happens.

After my last period, Art class, I stopped by the lockers to meet up with all my girls. I only have art class once a week along with drama, it's an extra class that you get to pick. I take art/drama with Dani, Talia and Syl take Dance class, and Lissa takes music/choir. All the guys have football practice at the same time, our schedules are not so different...

So I walked to the lockers with Dani and we were the first ones there. Guess who was waiting by my locker when I arrived. You'll never guess. It was Xavier. I know right, like, WTF.

Dani and I were walking towards him and she whispered to me, “Uh, is that Xavier?”

“Yeah.” I answered.

“Why is he there?” she asked.

“No idea.” I whispered right before we arrived close enough for me to say hi to him. “Hey babe,” I said.

“Hey,” he said and kissed me. Dani opened her locker and sort of stuffed her head in it so it wasn't like she was standing there watching us, even though she was. “Can I drive you home?” he asked.

“Oh.” I said surprised, “Uh, I sorta need to drive my friends home. If I pick them up, I drop them off. We were planning to go the mall too. Sorry...” I said to him, “Maybe I could make it up to you with a date?” I proposed.

“A date?” he said surprised and not at all excited, “Yeah, sure. Wednesday after school? I'm driving.” he said and surprised me.

“Okay.” I said unsure of all of this.

He grabbed my hand and said “See ya at home,” kissed me on the forehead and left. That's when Talia and Syl then Lissa arrived walking the opposite way of Xavier. I stood there so lost, so very lost.

“We weren't planning to go to the mall...” Dani said.

“I know, it was an excuse.” I said.

“I am so lost right now.” Dani said.

“Yeah, me too.” I added. Lissa, Syl, and Talia arrived to us and tried to get me or Dani to explain what just happened.

“Okay, seriously. I have no idea what is happening but can you guys just hurrying and we can leave.” I said once I closed my locker shut. They were done within seconds. “Can I crash at one of your houses? Don't wanna be in the same house as him right now, it's too confusing.” I said.

“Can't,” they all said at different times.

“What? Why?” I exclaimed and they all gave their reasons. They actually had good reasons... We finally got into my car and I turned the engine on.

“Why don't we just all sleep at your place. At least one person has to be with you at all times so you're never alone with Xavier.” Talia said from the back seat as I was backing out of the parking space and drove off. Everyone agreed with Talia as did I.

“So, where's the next stop?” I asked.

“We'll stop by Syl's so she can grab a few things, then Talia, then Dani, then me. Like we always do.” Lissa said.

“Kay, Syl's place we go.” I said and turned on the radio. We did as Lissa said and actually ended up going to the mall before going to my house. I looked through a lot of stores for an outfit for my first date with Xavier but couldn't find the perfect one. And I have no idea where he's taking me. Once we were done, everyone had bought something except me and that never happens when I go to the mall.

We drove to my house and I took a deep breath before opening the door.

“Hey” I said to Tyler and Blake, who were in the kitchen.

“Hey,” they both said back. I took my girls upstairs to me room and we passed by Matt and Kyle on the way up the stairs.

“Sorry Kyle, I need him.” I said to Kyle and grabbed Matt's arm. I dragged him up to my room along side my girls.

“You know, you could just ask me to come.” Matt said, “You don't need to drag my here by force.”

“Shut up,” I said and hit his arm as I sat on my bed. Everyone also found a place to sit, Matt sat next to me with Dani next to him. Lissa laid down on the floor in front of my as Talia and Syl sat on the floor. “Xavier is taking me out on a date.” I said.

“What? When did this happen?!” he said surprised.

“After school today. He was waiting for me in front of my locker. I'm surprised he even knows where my locker is! He offered to drive me home but I made up an excuse and said that I could maybe make it up to him with a date. He agreed and then seemed happy, excited for the date.” I said.

“Woah.” Matt said.

“Yeah.” My girls and I all said at the same time.

“Wait a second,” Matt said, “I just thought of something but it's not so great news.”

“What?” I asked.

“I don't know...” he said hesitantly.

“Tell me.” I said firmly.

“What if... he's excited about this date because...” Matt started saying.

“C'mon, tell me.” I said.

“Because he thinks you'll sleep with him after.” Everyone went silent.

“But wasn't that the plan in the first place?” Syl asks.

“Yeah, right?” Talia adds.

“Please don't tell me you have feelings for him.” Dani and Lissa both say.

“Of course I do! Feelings of pure hate, obviously!” I said with a nervous laugh after.

“Okay Olivia. Calm down.” I said to myself, “Dammit, calm the fuck down.” I said as my make-up got messed up. I started to fix it, “It's just a date, that's all. He's an asshole and this is what you are going to do. Make him get really into you, during the date. After, go home, into his room. Everyone will be waiting but he won't know. You'll kiss him and push him against the wall. He will turn you around so you are against the wall. Take off his shirt and push him on the bed. Do what you need to do to make him get a boner without taking off his pants or yours. Get up and open the door where everyone will be, the whole household plus my girls. Dammit, that's a lot of people...” I whispered the last part.

I was currently in the school bathroom and none of my girls are with me because I was excused from class alone. I'm actually standing in a room with a mirror in front of me and I'm completely talking to myself. I have my date with Xavier in an hour. I don't know if I can do this. I don't know who to talk to about this. No one will understand, I mean, I don't even understand.

Do I have feelings for Xavier? Does he have any for me? I hate this. Why does everything always have to be so complicated? Ugh... I grabbed my purse and took my phone. The bell was gonna ring in 10 minutes so there was no point of me going back to class. Normally I would be out of school in 10 minutes but Xavier is on the football team and has practice. On the upside, I get to sit on the bleachers for an hour watching all the guys run around without shirts on.

I fixed up my hair and left the bathroom to go to my locker. Sometimes I like walking alone in the school hallways without my girls, it made me feel more independent, like I was my own person, but other times it makes me feel alone and stupid. I guess I got so used to having my girls around me all the time, I don't know what I would do without them.

I got to my locker and put my purse with all my books and stuff inside of it and grabbed another purse with other stuff like make-up, a brush, my phone, wallet, headphones and more. Once I closed my locker, the bell rang. I waited by my locker for my girls before going to see Xavier. They all arrived together and we talked for about five minutes about the plan and they kept asking me if I was okay, but I am completely fine. Well, I'd like to think so.

They left and I went to the football field. I sat down by the bleachers and tried to spot Xavier. When our eyes crossed paths, he smiled. Oh god, how I love that smile of his. I sent back a slight smile then searched through my purse covering my face with my hair because I was certain that I was starting to blush. I kept my head down until I was certain that the reddening on my cheeks had disappeared.

After one full hour of watching the guys throw a ball around, it was time. I was currently waiting out by the school parking lot for Xavier. He was in the changing rooms getting ready. I quickly fixed up my make-up and put it all back in my purse before all
