Just Another Day (Being Updated)

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing, I aimlessly stretch my arm to try and grab the phone.

"Come on! It's still early! I'm sleeping! Who is going to call at... 9:30 am!" I see the person calling, whoops, it's Monica... I press "TALK" on the phone...

"Hey darling! Good morning!" I exclaim.

"About time you lazy ass! I've been calling you for the past hour! If you humiliate me once again by not bringing the work to class, I will have your ballsack as a trophy in my room, ALL RIGHT?!" She screamed. She even hangs up on me.

If only I wasn't stupid enough to sleep with her at the party last month at the New Year's Eve party...

It's Friday morning, didn't I already tell her that I only have classes from 11-2:30? Forget about it, not like it's easy to reason with her...

I hear my phone vibrate, it's a text... At least it's from Matt. "Hey man, you're about to be late for class! Miss Kayla is going to rip you a new one!" I laugh at the text, I reply, "I wouldn't mind ;) I'll be there, no rush" and quickly get ready for class.

Got all my stuff, the work and backpack ready. I start up the car, the Hajile Saturn. Latest car in the market and ripped a new one in my wallet. But, it's worth it. I approach Tyro High School. Been here, since last year and although it was a nice change, it isn't what I expected for my last year. Like I said, I just had to be stupid enough to sleep with her.

Since class is in session, it's empty, some doors are open and you can hear the lecture, the breeze feels pretty good at this time of day. I go inside Alpha Hall to get to Monica's class and knock on the door. The teacher opens it.

"I assume that you are Alexander? Monica's fiancee?" The teacher asks.

"Yeah, don't know about that last part however."

"Didn't you hear how she talked to him about twenty minutes ago?" Someone shouted.

"SHUT UP BITCH!" Monica responded. Her short self, quickly rushes to me and kisses me, you could see her reddish hair running towards me like a flame, in a nice tone she tells me, "Thanks Alex, I'll make sure to help you out later on!" and winks at me.

I don't know how to respond to that and just smile back.

"Time for you to leave, young man, you're disrupting the class." the teacher says as he slams the door on me.

"Ridiculous..." I start to head on over to Miss Kayla's class. I'm questioning myself over all these decisions I made this school year, we're all finally 18, yet, I think I have done some really stupid decisions. Monica being the biggest regret there is so far... But hey, better than nothing right?

As the bell rings while I'm still walking, Monica somehow manages to catch up to me. Jumping on my back and trying to kiss my mouth.

"You saved the day again, you know!" She said happily.

"Good I guess? Did you get an A on it?"

"Nope, I got a D!"

"So we spent the whole weekend and the past few days for that?"

"Better than an F you know! Stop being a smartass!"

This is what separates us, it doesn't matter if we wasted four days, I was worried and cared about it and this happens?!

"Whatever makes you feel better then?"

"That's more like it! Gotta go!"

She lets go and rushes to her class, she's pretty short for my height and a lot of people are surprised about it, she is attractive in a lot of people's eyes, but still surprised at my choice. I head to my class in Delta Hall, as I enter, I realize I was the only one in the room, along with Miss Kayla... Awkward...

"Well, Alex? Where have you been the past few days?"

"I was sick... From this one disease thingy, called "Stupidus" and well yeah, it isn't a good excuse."

"At least you recognize it... I'll let you go off easy, for the last time."

"Thank you, Miss Kayla." I proceed to go sit down to my seat. She's a looker, her blond hair and seductive complexion, not to mention her curves, nice tits and tight butt. Just the fact that she is wearing one of those buttoned shirts showing off her cleavage, just why?! WHY AM I TORTURED LIKE THIS?

Well, at least I'm acing all my classes so far. Matt arrives and sits down to the seat next to me.

"Surprised to see you here."

"Yeah, I was woken up and let's face it, it wasn't easy. Hell, more annoyed."

"It was Monica eh? I'm telling you man, you need to drop her, so what if you nailed her?"

"What if she's carrying my kid? Then he or she grows up to be some insensitive person just like her mother. Besides, we're bound to break-up sooner or later."

"Well, you know what you're doing I guess, just ask for help if you need any."

As we finish our short conversation, the rest of the class comes in and Miss Kayla begins her lecture.

"All right, everyone, we're going to start watching "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Cowboy Bebop" why these animations? Because they were amazing when I saw them several years ago and they still are today. But really, because I want to see how one can compare American and Japanese culture. From censorship to dialogue to story. I need a thorough analysis from all of you in a 7-page essay. You can all have one partner, but no more to work on this."

Lots of cheering from the class at first, then the depression hit for everyone once they heard about the essay. All except for one, Bettie. The girl sitting next to me. Always felt something about her, but her shy attitude is what makes me afraid of breaking our longtime friendship.

"It isn't that bad now is it?" She says in her cute gentle voice. Her long black hair, pale skin, her cute glasses and formal dresses have always caught my attention.

"Well, at least they're great television shows, so I can't blame them. Although I don't really feel like watching the whole series for both of them."

"Haha, would you like to start on our essays tomorrow?"

"Sure, why not? Better idea." She starts to blush.

"T-t-t-thank you!" she stutters.

"I should be thanking you for inviting me."

Ah, Bettie. Why are you always there for me?

"Well, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow then?"

"Sure, do you want to go to the party at night too?"

"I wasn't invited..."

"Doesn't matter, you're with me, all that matters."

"If you say so..." she says in a gentle voice.

"All right, now for the next assignment..."

*After class*

"Well, Alex, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow then, I guess!" Bettie said with enthusiasm. As we both stand up, I was surprised at her height, just a few inches shorter compared to me. A lot of girls have told us that we were meant for each other. I don't deny it, except I never talked. So I'm at fault.

"Guaranteed, I'll be there." she blushes and walks away.

"So... Looks like you're in a dilemma." says Matt, in a provoking tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you're with Monica and probably have a kid with her and yet, you are going to Bettie's house. Hurm, pretty weird."

"And? Not like she's going to hold me down, besides, we're supposed to meet up at the party."

"Not what I would call a good idea, Rich."

"Nothing is going to happen, besides, knowing Monica, she's going to be drunk off her ass."

"I know you think things through, but what if you're wrong?"

"Nothing is going to go wrong, trust me."

It's after school, I went to Monica's house since she wanted to ask me a few things. I'm sitting on her bed, waiting for her to come out of her closet. I wouldn't doubt it if I stayed here all day...

"How do I look?" She's wearing a skimpy black dress with a mini-skirt. Not bad, but it isn't anywhere near good. Her suntan does make her look a bit exotic.

"You look great in it."

"Thank you! Erica picked it out for me for tomorrow's party! Are we going together or meet up there?"

"Like you said, we'll meet up there at night. So have some fun with your friends."

"All right, will do."

I get up and ready to leave, she grabs my arm and throws me onto the bed. She jumps on top of me. Starts kissing me all over passionately.

"Hey, hey you all right?" I ask with a nervous laugh.

"What's wrong? Aren't we both having a baby soon? Nothing to be scared about, not like we haven't seen everything about each other..." She starts lifting up her dress. Revealing her red push-up bra. Her blond hair is something to be reckoned with, looks nice. Not a big fan of pigtails however.

"You like these tits? So nice and firm aren't they?" She grabs my hands and places them on her breasts. Forcing me to play with them.

"What's wrong? You're not the same cheery guy like every other day."

"Nah, I just got in trouble, I got detention tomorrow, so I'm kind of fucked in the head at the moment..."

"You in trouble? Yeah right! You're already called the Valedictorian!"

"Ha, if only you were there. I almost knocked out this guy. In 6th period."

"So why aren't you being rough with me? I got some handcuffs around here."

"I'm just not feeling good... I'm gonna go for today, see you tomorrow night."

"Fine, whatever, just go." Her tone drastically changed. Typical of her.

I head to my house, pretty distracted. Let me tell you something, I have always taken on all sorts of problems head-on. One-on-one fights, gladly accept them. Teacher trying to fail me due to a small problem? Sick my ass on them until they let it go. But never of this caliber, my parents always told me to watch out for anything. Of course, I can't remember jack-shit about that night... So I'm screwed there. Matt thinks she is bluffing. I don't want to mess up that kid's future, it would be my fault... I head to my house and call it a day, it's already six anyway, we're all ready for tomorrow. At least I hope so.

--------------------------------------------------------------------


I wake up, it's 8 a.m., I already took a shower and ready to go to Bettie's. I'm feeling a bit ecstatic about it. Haha, haven't felt this good in a while.

It's already 9:30 in the morning, I'm in front of Bettie's house, I proceed to knock on the door. She comes out. She's wearing her sleeping wear, just big pajamas. She has a huge smile on her face and jump hugs me.

"Oh I've been waiting for you all night! Glad you came! So what do you want to watch first? One of the best voice acting casts of all time in American media or one of the best dubs of all time in Japanese media?"

"Hmm... How about the one where Luke turns to the dark side?"

"All right then!"

She takes me into her room. We all live in a gated community, called "Emerald Street", the high school is located in the center. All of the houses have two rooms, a kitchen, a garage and a living room. Damn great houses too. Nothing bad with them and this is the first of it's kind too. Obviously, there are areas. The North is where we reside in, technologically more advanced than the rest. The South is more "nature-like" it's a very nice place to be in. The West is similar to Las Vegas and the East is very formal. Again, Bettie and I reside in the North. Matt resides in the West and Monica lives in the South.

We lay down on her bed, being on the edge and close to the television.

*Few hours later*

My stomach grumbles.

"Hey, you hungry?"

"Yeah, I'll make some food for the both of us. I'll make us some pancakes, sandwiches and eggs."

I was a bit surprised, this is the first time someone is doing this for me. I follow her into the kitchen.

"Sally, on." she commands.

"Good morning Bettie, how are you today? I see you have a friend over, do you want anything special done for him?"

Bettie blushes and turns a bit red.

"Haha, sure, we want pancakes, sandwiches and eggs."

"Readying up special recipes from your mother."

"Wow, this is pretty cool, I gotta learn how to use my AI Unit one day."

This was a fancy display, the movements felt surreal, this kitchen is far better than mine.

"It took a while, but now it got easy. I repeated every recipe several times so Sally got it right."

"The average retries was 7, the lowest amount was 1 and the highest was 15." Bettie got a bit embarrassed hearing this.

"One third of the time it would take me, only you can finish recipes that quick."

Bettie stutters a bit and just hugs me. I place my hand on her head and quickly stroke it. Lovely girl.

*Few moments later*

We sit at the table. She still has that cute smile, haha, very enchanting. She's a bit on the shy side.

"So... Alex, I heard you're with Monica..." She had a hint of a somber tone on here, I was nervous on what to say...

"No... She coerced me into this. It was the worst decision I have done in my entire life. I regret the whole day, nothing went right..."

"May I ask what happened?"

"It was the last day of Winter Quarter, the party was at night. I got in a fight with one of my professors, I got in a fight with Matt and I was followed by a few guys, turns out I wasn't the one they were looking for."

"Oh wow, that is horrible..." her cute voice resonated in my ears...

"So I went to the party and just did a bad move, I drank too much and Monica somehow persuaded me to follow her into a room. Although, Matt says he took me in early and we discussed it and I deny it."

"I don't know what to say... I also have a horrible experience from that night. I was still with Eric at the time. We also went to the party... I saw Matt there and I tried staying near him. Since Eric and I weren't really having a happy time. Eric got drunk and tried to force me into sex. He was touching me all over in public and I even told him to stop several times. Since he didn't listen, I slapped him... He got angry and was about to punch me, Matt intervened and kicked him out of the house..."

She started to tear up as she went on.

"I felt empty for days. Until I saw you again."

I get close to her and hug her.

"Hey, there's nothing to worry or cry about. He's gone, out of your life."

She's on my chest, crying.

"I hope so... I don't know Alex... I just don't know..."

"Hey, don't cry there, beautiful. All right?"

"Haha, t-t-t-that's a b-b-b-bit cheesy there." she stutters, but I can tell she's feeling happy.

I kiss her on the forehead.

"Come on, let's go back up and watch the series. Here, let me carry you up there."

I put her legs on one of my arms, another on her back and take her upstairs.

"T-t-thank you, Alex..."

"My pleasure."

*Several hours later*

"Hey, Bettie, you ready to go to the party?"

"Give me a few minutes! I'll be down there!"

All right, wearing a blue formal shirt, black pants and a red tie. I'm ready for this tonight.

"All right! Here I come, Alex!"

I get on the bottom of the stairwell and get amazed at how she looks. Wearing a beautiful red dress with a long skirt. Short light sleeves... Almost like a princess.

"Wow... Words will just lessen the impact of how you look..."

I reach out my hand for her and take her by the arm.

"Ready?"

"Anytime you are." She gives me a huge smile.

I take her into my car.

"YOU HAVE THE HAJILE?!"

"Yeah, parents gave it to me as a gift. It's also your chariot, mademoiselle."

"Oh, Alex, you turned this day into one of the best days of my life!"

We get in the car and start up the engine.

"Evening Alex, how's everything going? Destination? You got a lovely guest here, someone special?"

"Hey, David. It's all good thanks, what about you? Destination is: 2153 Emerald Hills, South Town. As for Bettie, she is the best person in the world, David, so be nice."

"As you wish sir, everything is well tonight. Setting GPS now."

David has a rough voice, with the Solid setting. Sounds like a smoker. Wasn't too fond of Liquid or Solidus.

"Well then, Princess. Ready?"

"Let's rock!"

I rev up the car and head to the destination. The streets are empty, a good reason why. The party is at the estate, Emerald Hills.

As we arrive, the valet is already waiting for us.

"Mr. and Mrs. Belmont, we have been expecting you. Your VIP parking spot is right over there."

"Thank you, here's your tip."

"Thank you sir."

I park the car along the front door, along with the twenty cars. VIP is the only way.

As we go through the front door, we already see the party in full swing. It is 8 p.m. after all.

Security is tight, this estate has a lot, five pools, three floors, over one hundred private rooms, 21 reserved for VIPs and three whole lobbies.

Immediately, Matt spots me. He's with Veronica, Bettie's best friend. A stunning girl, always with medium red hair, fancy dresses and very charismatic. She resides in the East. She is wearing a silver dress.

"Wow, Bettie! You look amazing." says Matt, Bettie giggles.

"Looking good Bets, haven't seen you like this in a while!"

"Thanks Matt and Vers! You look great too!"

Matt is wearing a dark green shirt with blue pants, rolled up sleeves on the shirt. He gets near me and whispers into my ear.

"Monica went with Eric... Try to avoid them... They're also severely drunk."

"Told you, I fucking knew it. Even better, this early? She's bound to get kicked out. Thanks a lot for looking out, Matt."

"Anytime, I'll go back with Veronica, so I'll see you guys later."

"Later Alex. See ya Bettie."

"Bye you two, you make a great couple!" Bettie says with enthusiasm.

"Take care Bettie! You better take good care of Bettie, Alex, otherwise, expect a beat down from me!"

"I will Veronica, don't worry about her. I won't let anything hurt her." I say nervously to Veronica, they're both like sisters, I have never seen them separated besides class and right now. I turn to Bettie.

"So, what do you want to do? Hit the dance floor? Hit the pool? The bar? Check out the estate?"

"Sure, check out the estate first, then the dance floor, then the bar and finally, let's go to a private room."

"Let's go then. I've been here a few times."

I take her to the pools first.

"All right, these are the fancy pools of Emerald Hills. They sense everything, if you're cold, the water heats up around you, too hot and it cools it down. Fountains come out every now and then. Very fancy. Whenever we get a free stay in, you'll see the magic of these. I got an entry already."

"Wow, look at those colors, they got amazing shapes too, I love the tree pool the most. I really love the emerald jewel."

"Yeah, they're nice and worth it."

We head to the third floor on the external elevator. We see all of South Town from here. Very nice. She hugs me hard. I hug her back with my right arm.

"In this floor, we have the Sky Trees dance hall, it is one of the biggest of the four estates and loudest. Five DJs and noise-proof rooms. Up to a thousand people in reach room."

"Wow, we could get lost easily there."

"Over there we have some of the private rooms, they cost about $500 for the night, you can stay in it, leave the next day, have breakfast too. It's a good deal. Of course, the lower the room, the more expensive. We also have some of the private pools, for a small group. They have one of the cheapest bars here, fancy drinks too, like the Gold Leaf."

"Ooh, fancy." She has an excited tone. Glad she's enjoying it.

We head down to the second floor. The ambiance is amazing.

"This is the Deep Forest floor, as you can see, it is pretty nice. Smells nice, a Jazz dance hall, well more for relaxing. The bar is right next to it too. The private rooms are $777, you get all the same as the above floor and more. You get one whole day here and use most of the estate. The spa in the back is amazing too."

"Oh Alex, are we going to stay in on of these rooms?"

"Of course, we got the whole weekend. Are you willing to join me?"

"Yes!"

"Come on, Bettie. We're almost done!"

We head down to the first floor. Everyone was wearing formal clothing, a bit casual like us. The weekend was set to hot by the people up at Metea.

"Over here, the best of the floors. The Emerald floor. It's simply the finest of the rooms. Security is tight, everyone is enjoying the music. The whole thing is surrounded by the twenty-one private rooms. Not much here, just the lobby, the dance hall is to the side, but barely anything can be heard. Can fit 1,500 people. So, that's the tour, want to head to the bar? They have non-alcoholic drinks too."

"Let's go then."

We head to the bar and pick up two stools.

"Bartender, get me a Heron and a Phoenix."

"Heron and Phoenix, coming right up for Mr. and Mrs. Belmont."

We get our drinks, mine is a golden color drink, the Phoenix, very light, no alcohol and an amazing flavor. The Heron is for her, a sweet tea with no alcohol.

"So Alex, how many times have you been here? You know everything about this place, very well too."

"I think five times, it's a good place and there are hardly any parties here, as opposed to the other estates. The person who moved out had no parties at all, this new guy is pretty cool and I met him once in a class. Helped him a lot, turns out that he is the owner of all the four estates right now. So I'm best buddies with him right now. He already finished and graduated, but decided to stay back. His name is Elias Worthington. Fancy name ain't it?"

"ELIAS WORTHINGTON?! Wow Alex, I don't know what to say now. I'm speechless."

"Yeah, haha, it's hard to say anything after that." The bartender gets close.

"Anyone want seconds? On the house for you two."

"Please." We both say. Bartender prepares them and gives us our second round.

"So Bettie, what do you think? Anything special you want to do? You're my guest tonight, we got a room for ourselves and it's basically like staying at home. Want to go check it out?"

"Lov-" Just as she spoke, I heard Monica scream.

"GET OFF OF HIM YOU BITCH! ERIC IS ALL MINE!" Music stops, all eyes on her. Typical scene, happened a few more times before I "got with her" last month. It's both of them and two other people, just typical delinquents...

"Come on, Bettie, don't let them see us." I grab Bettie's hand and quickly rush to an elevator.

"Where fuck is Alex? Ahhh fuck him, come on, Eric, let's try to get a twin for our baby!" Everyone heard that in the lobby, it got quiet all of a sudden.

"What are you all looking at?"

DING! Goes the elevator, breaking the silence. All eyes are on us both...

"Alex! There you are darling!" Monica screams out. Running and almost tripping towards us. She hugs me down.

"Ew, what are you doing here, you bitch. Leave my man alone! Don't tell me you're cheating on me for this bitch, Alex!" She yells to Bettie and I.

"Me? Cheating on you? You're the one who said out loud that Eric is the dad."

"Oops, I was going to tell you later on... Anyway, gimme a kiss!" I look away and get her off me. Eric heads towards us. Bettie quickly gets to my side and gets a firm grip on me.

"I wouldn't be touching either of my girls if I were you, Alex."

"You aren't with Bettie anymore, Eric."

"Says who?"

"Me..." Bettie softly replied. Eric lets out an annoyed grunt and gets closer, I get in front of her, I can feel her trembling.

DING! Another elevator arrives.

"You bitch... If you were closer, I would have slap-"

"Don't be stupid Eric, many of us saw what you tried to do to her last month." It was Matt and Veronica.

"You again? I still haven't forgotten about it either. Come on Monica, they're a waste of time."

"Coming dear!" They walk away and head back to where they were.

"Betts, are you okay?" Veronica asked her.

"Y-y-y-yes. Alex won't let him come near me..."

"Thanks Alex..." It seems Veronica still hasn't forgotten about what happened between the two of us.

"Come on guys, we have a long night ahead of us, don't let these sick people ruin it for us." Matt says. "Let's go to one of the private pools and enjoy ourselves!"

"I agree with Matt, nothing better than to relax in them." I say.

"Uh, you guys do have reservations, right?" He asks.

"Don't worry, my room has one of them."

"Wow, Alex. Even after these past few years, you never cease to amaze me." Veronica states, I think she was being sarcastic, but she is being honest.

"Not surprising? Kind of hard to reply to that." Veronica and Bettie giggle together.

"Just like the old days eh? Come on, let's go." I take all three to the room.

As we enter the room, it is pretty much similar to my house in architecture and looks. The living room leads to five doors, far left takes us to the bathroom, middle left takes us to a changing room, middle takes us to the bedroom, middle right to a guest bedroom and far right for the pool.

"All right guys, make yourselves at home and just get ready to change. Clothing is in the room."

"You sure this is okay, Alex?" Matt asks.

"These are VIP rooms, meant for two small groups, don't worry about it."

"If you say so..." Veronica states.

We all get our clothes and go into different rooms.

*Moments later*

I get out of the room and in swimming trunks.

"Well, well, if it isn't my ex." Veronica says in a sly voice.

"What about it?" She is wearing a red bikini, complements her dark long hair and white skin.

"Not much, I'm just curious about you, "Mr. Playboy" it feels like yesterday since we were in our freshmen year and we were together. I was a hell of a lucky girl. I do however, remember always being worried about your sorry ass! You got in fights at least once a week! I even remember going to the hospital with you once!"

"Haha, those were the days, eh Verie? Never mind the fact that girls always chased me and still do at times."

"That was one part I hated about our relationship, they never stopped back then. However, I do remember you flirting with every girl possible." She glares at me.

"Yeah... Ha... ha..."

"But I trust you'll be at Bettie's side all day and night right? If I hear anything bad from you, coming from her... You can make sure that I'll make you into a eunuch the day after."

"I... Hmm..." She comes up to me and places her hands on my shoulders, staring me down.

"Listen, Alex, I'm being serious. No harm or any sort of problems will come to Bettie right? We're all adults now, so no time for fucking around. I think our immaturity back then ruined our relationship..."

"I'm speechless, Verie. Been a while since we have had a serious talk like this."

"I'm sorry I'm acting this way, Alex. I just want Bettie to be safe and happy. I had those things when I was with you. Sure, it wasn't always the best of times... But you are one of my three highlights of my life... Bettie and Matt are the other two. So promise me, that you'll always be with Bettie."

"I promise, Veronica."

"I believe you, Alex... Please, don't disappoint me again." She kisses my lips slightly, for old times sake.

"Well, you two, lighting up old memories?" Matt interrupts.

"Matt! I uh- no I mea-"

"Don't worry about it, you two. It's all right." Wearing his dark green trunks, he heads towards us.

"I know he doesn't mean any harm, it's all good."

"Uh, Vers! I need help with this! Can you come in here!" Bettie shouts from her room.

"I'll be back you two. Don't get in a fight!" She winks at us with a smile.

"So, Alex. How's everything going with Bettie?"

"It's wonderful, the girl I have wanted all along."

"Good, good. Which reminds me."

"Bad news already? Bad enough we encountered that bastard out there, now what?"

"It's Angela." Great, of all the people...

"What does she want now?"

"I don't know, she vidded me before we got here, let me show it to you."

He gets his VP out and plays the video.

"Hey, Alex! Haven't seen you in a long time! I want to see your cute self again! How about I go over next week! You better show this to him, Matt! I lost his number..."

She was just wearing underwear, nothing else. Provocative, showing off her bust and ass. Nothing else. Her medium blond hair has always been a thing that sets her apart from the rest. She is a year older than me, but unfortunately, our parents thought we we would have made a good couple... Bad times indeed, she always denies that she likes me or is with me to throw girls off.

"Forget about her, not worth my time." Angela... Why now?

"Hey, boys! Say hello to sexy new Bettie!" Bettie comes out, very shy and blushing. She is wearing a bright green bikini, she looks cute in it.

"You look great, Bettie. No need to be shy on showing it off!" I exclaim. She quickly rushes to Veronica for cover.

"All right, time for the pool!"

We all jump to the pool.

"So then, what have you two been up to?" Asks Veronica.

"It's our first day and already I can say that it is one of my best days of my life!" Bettie giggles and blushes.

"I just wish I was with him sooner..."

"Wait, so you two are officially together right?"

"Well, Bettie? Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"O-O-O-Of course!" She comes towards me and hugs me.

"Now, you're supposed to share a first kiss!" Veronica says.

I grab her by the waist and proceed to kiss her.

"Aw, reminds me of how non-romantic my life with Matt is!"

"Hey! I can be romantic too! Just say when!" He grabs her by the waist and gives her a long kiss.

After we finish, Bettie giggles and blushes.

"Come to think of it... This is my first kiss."

"Are you glad to have shared it with me?"

"Of course! I just felt a mix of emotions and I can't put it into words!"

"Just be careful with him, Betts. He was a bit of a horndog when I was with him, put him in his place won't ya?" Veronica says jokingly.

"Heehee! Of course!"

"You got nothing to worry about, Bettie, those days are over. So, how did you two end up being together? I never heard the whole story."

"I was with Jack at the time, he was being a total loser and stopped showing up to class. I thought he was sick at first, but it turns out that he impregnated another girl. I think it was Marilyn."

"At the same time, I was grouped with her for Astronomy, we had a project of making a model of all the planets. I remember her pushing me far into this and stressing me out about our grades, haha."

"He tried to calm me down the whole time, total opposites. I don't know how I got attracted to him, but I love him now and that's all that matters."

"Anyone want to play Marco-Polo?" Suggests Veronica.

"I'm all right with that." I say.

"Let's do it!" Matt exclaims.

"Sure!" Bettie says with delight.

*Hours later of just fun and games*

"Well guys, that was a lot of fun today. I wish it was always like this." Veronica states with a hint of joy.

"We gotta go Veronica, it's getting late."

"Oh wow, it's past midnight."

"What? We have a guest room over there, why not just sleep for the night?" I ask.

"Don't worry, we're right next door. Now that we know that it's pretty much the same room, nothing to worry about." Matt explains.

"Never mind then, even better."

"We'll see you guys tomorrow morning." says Veronica.

"Bye guys!" Bettie says.

"Don't forget what I told you, Alex!" Shouted Veronica.

"Don't worry about it, Verie. It's all good." I reply.

As the door closes, we both head to the bathroom for a quick shower.

"I uh, I'll wait for you, Bettie."
