CHAPTER FIVE

Eloisa

The weekend approached faster than usual. Perhaps it felt like that because there had been an uneasy tension between us since Keith invited me to his party. For that reason, I could tell he was trying to avoid me. I was doing the same thing since our last conversation did not end clearly. The bell rung moments after Keith expressed his desire to kiss me. With our history, I really thought it would be disastrous, though it might not be the type that I signed up for.

I hadn’t told Allison about that little incident. If I did, I knew that she would make things even more awkward at the party. I was not even sure we’d go there, but since Allison has also been invited, I guess there’s no backing out of this without telling her.

The truth is, no matter how much I tried to disregard everything, a part of me wanted to be at the party and talk to Keith again. It did not necessarily have to be about what happened, but I would definitely like to get rid of this tension and go back to being enemies if it slipped into the conversation. After all, no matter what, that’s what Keith and I were, right? We’re born to be each other’s enemies.

“Do you think I should wear my cherry or purple dress for the party?” Allison asked, pulling me out of my head. I saw her holding a bunch of clothes in front of me.

“I don’t know. Maybe you should go with the purple one.”

She sighed. “You’re always more indecisive than me.”

I rolled my eyes, turning back to my laptop. I was supposed to be doing an assignment and not thinking about this party, but things might not go according to plan.

“After you’re done picking out something for yourself, can you look for my blue top? I’ll just wear it with the new pants I got,” I uttered, earning a whistle from Allison.

“Look at you!” she replied, grinning. “Keith won’t be able to resist you – your ass looks great in those pants!”

I laughed, shaking my head. “I’m not wearing that for him. It’s just that I don’t have any other pants left since I forgot laundry day.”

Allison shrugged. “Whatever – you’re lucky then.” She added, “Sure, I’ll fish it out for you. I’m done with my work anyway.”

“I owe you,” I told her gratefully before turning back to my assignment, which I was pretty sure would take up most of my night.

After an hour, Allison yelled, “I’m literally so tired!”

I looked at her, realizing what time it was. “I’m hungry. I’m going down to the coffee shop. Do you want something?”

“No, I’m good,” she said.

I shrugged. Closing my laptop, I got off the bed and stretched out my body. My arms were sore with all the typing and bad postures, and I craved a nice, warm bath and some wine. However, I had to make do with what I could get – espresso and waffles, for that matter – to stay awake.
