Thursday

I woke up and bright early the next morning to the smell of pancakes. My favourite. I got up from bed and began getting ready for school. Today I decided to wear a black crop top with blue, denim, ripped jeans and a long, cream wool cardigan. I decided to curl my hair today and do light makeup to highlight my features. After doing so I packed my bag and sprayed some perfume. I was about to walk downstairs when I got a text from Veronica.

Veronica- hey I'll be at your house in 15 minutes

Me- ok see you soon xx

I ran down the stairs and said good morning to my mom. Since she works a lot I don't really see much of her. We caught up during breakfast and told each other about how our week had gone. I also told her about my new after school activity.

"That's great hunny. That will look amazing on your college applications." She smiled

"I know but he frustrates me a lot. He doesn't really know basic algebra so I had to start from the beginning" I said

"Hmmmmm a he" she smirked while wiggling her eyebrows. My mom has always been interested in my dating life.

"Mom stop he is just a guy I'm tutoring" I replied. I then heard a honk.

"I gotta go that's Veronica." I said while trying to stuff my face with as much pancakes as I could get

"Bye love you and be safe" She said kissing my cheek and I said it back

I walked out the door and into Veronica's car.

"Hey girl how are you? You look nice today. Trying to impress someone?" she smirked

"What no!!!! I just felt like looking cute" I admitted

The rest of the car ride was just us singing to some iconic songs she had on her phone which was plugged to the aux cord. We finally arrived at school and made our way to our lockers where we saw Steph. They were talking about something but I wasn't really listening. I was too focused on figuring out what books I needed for the day.

"Sierra are you listening?" Steph said looking at me

"Huh what" I said confusingly

"There's are party tomorrow night. You are going right?" She asked

"I don't know guys. You know how much I hate partying. I will probably be busy" I lied

"What on earth are u busy with on a Friday night" Steph asked crossing her arms

"Please Sierra it's going to be so much fun" Veronica begged

"Come on please. Just this one time" Steph added. I gave them each a hard look

"Ok fine just this once." I have in

"Eeeeekkkkk we have to the mall after school to get outfits" Veronica said excitedly

What did I just get myself into?

The last class of the day

I walked into maths a few minutes after the bell. By the time I arrived Aaron was already at his seat with his friends crowding around him in a huge circle. The minute I walked to my seat the whole group grew quiet. Weird. I placed my bag on floor and took out my books. I noticed they still weren't talking and some were looking at me.

"Well don't stop on my account. I'm not listening" I assured. One of the boys opened their mouth to speak but then the teacher walked in and they all went back to their various seats.

"Ok everyone take out the homework. Was there anything you needed help with" Mr baker asked. After five minutes of going through the homework we began some actual class work.

"Thanks for last night. I actually got all the questions right which never happens" Aaron whispered leaning forward towards me slightly so I could hear him more clearly.

"No bother. Maybe next time we can get more work done if you don't tickle me again" I simply replied and gave him a small smile

"Well that was your fault. You could have lied and I wouldn't have found out" he shrugged

"You didn't give me enough time to react"

"Whatever you are very ticklish and squirm a lot . I wonder where else you squirm a lot" he winked. I gasped at what he said.

"Aaron And Sierra is everything ok back there" Mr Baker asked. Everyone turned back in their seats to look at us. My face immediately grew red at the attention we caused.

"Yes coach she was just explaining something to me. We are all good now" Aaron said

"Good now can everyone concentrate this is where it gets difficult"

After 30 minutes the bell for last class rang. I got up and began putting my stuff in my bag. Aaron's friends were crowding around him again. I was walking up to the door when mr Baker called both me and Aaron.

"I just wanted to check in to see how the tutoring is going" he said looking at me

"Oh it's fine. We are getting there slowly. Right Aaron" I asked looking up at him. I didn't realise how tall he was standing next to me. I'm 5"4 so he must be 5"11-6"0.

"Yes coach she's right everything is fine" he responded

"Good. Off with you then and Aaron don't forget we have training tomorrow so don't forget your gear"

"Got it coach"

We walked out the door and started talking. I find it so odd that literally two days ago we were giving each other death stares and now we are acting as friends. We got to my locker where I saw my friends. Their eyebrows immediately perked up at the sight of us walking together. I already knew they were going to question me on it later.

"Hey Sierra, hey Aaron" Veronica waved while smiling

"Hey" I smiled

"Hey, Veronica and Stephanie right?" He asked

"Yup" Steph replied popping her p

"Sierra you ready, remember we have to go shopping for some outfits for the party tomorrow" Veronica said reminding me.

"Wait you are going to the party tomorrow" Aaron questioned

"Yeah I sort of got dragged into it" I said putting some books in my locker

"Yeah she did now let's go before all the shops close." Veronica said pulling me a little.

" ok um bye Aaron I'll see you later" I said and left with my friends. As we were walking out the door I had a urge to turn around. So I did. Aaron was still staring me as I was walking with his hands stuffed in his pockets. We walked over to Veronica's car and got in.

"So Sierra looks like you and Aaron are getting along great all of a sudden. I thought you hated him"

"Hate is a strong word and I don't know, ever since the day I had to tutor him he has been nice. I'm not complaining though" I explained

We stopped at the mall and the girls were so excited. I love shopping too but I really just wanted to sleep.

"Let's go to Brandy Melville first" Veronica said and they practically ran there.

Ughhh this is going to be so much fun.

hey lovelies. Sorry for not posting yesterday. I was super busy but I will do a double update today to make up for it. Looks like Sierra is going to party tomorrow. What do you think will happen?
