Holding On Forever by Hillary NGO (the false prince series txt) 📖

ate our sundae while watching a movie down in the cinema and after the movie was over we decided to go to sleep. We quickly ran upstairs to my room and brushed our teeth in my bathroom and grabbed our own iPhone and set the alarm for 6 a.m. We settled our phones near us and found our sleeping arrangement. Jessica was glad I was having friends over so she ordered two matching sea foam green poster beds and putted it in my room on the sides of my bed. We all pulled up our cover and laid down. Jen fell asleep first and Kat followed. I just stared at my wall thinking of the next day before my vision became hazy and sleep overpowered me.


Chapter 12: Game Time

"Please don't stop the music... I told you on the day we wed... It's always a good time..." blared out of all three of our phones.
Game Time!

We lifted ourselves off our beds and fluttered our eyes open. We all grabbed our phones and turned the alarm off and slammed it back onto the bed. We looked at each other and grinned mischievously.
"Plan starts now." We all said.
Kat and Jen jumped off their beds, grabbed their overnight bags and hurried out of my room to the other guest's bathroom. I hopped off my bed and looked out the massive window overlooking my backyard. The sun was barely rising as I strolled to my closet and opened up its door. I walked into my closet and came back with a frilly white tank top and a light green waist high short. I walked out of my closet to my drawers and pulled out a green bikini with white stripes crossing horizontally. I walked into my bathroom and and locked the door. I went up to one of my sinks and looked at myself in the mirror. I moved my hand around the counter without looking and caught a hold of my toothbrush and toothpaste. I squeezed some toothpaste on my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. I turn on the faucet of the sink and filled my cup with water. I tossed the water into my mouth and started to gargle. When I felt my mouth had enough, I spitted it all out. I brushed my hair straight and I quickly took off my pajamas, threw on my bikini and then my clothes. I snatched my pajamas off the floor and tossed it into the hamper. I skipped towards my makeup table and applied a small amount of pink eye shadow and swiped my eyes with my waterproof mascara. I finished off the look by applying a light layer of slipper pink lip gloss and smacked my lips together. Done!

I unlocked my bathroom door and saw Kat already dressed in a red one shoulder top with jean shorts and had applied dark black mascara and dark ruby red lip gloss. We grabbed our own beach bag filled with the necessities for the beach like suntan oil, sunscreen, sunglasses, towel, phone and money. We zoomed out of my room and saw Jen sauntering towards us wearing a bright orange striped flowy tank with black shorts and her beach bag. She had applied a quick swipe of clear lip gloss and added a very thin coat of orange eye shadow that blended well with her tan skin. We hopped downstairs and exited my house.
Jen and I followed Kat to her car and climbed in. Jen sat in the back and I sat in the front passenger seat. Kat started up her car and we zoomed to the beach with music blasting out of the car window.
"I hopped off the plane in LAX with a dream and my cardigan, welcome to the land of fame excess... Whoa am I going fit in, jumped in the cab here I am for the first time, look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign..." We all sang out.
We arrived at the basketball territory of the beach and it was packed with a bunch of people. We all got out of the car and held our beach bags. Kat walked to the trunk and lifted it up for the whole beach to see. She had a huge stereo system built in the back of her car and she started playing 'TGIF' by Katy Perry. OMG! How did I not see that?

The crowd on the beach started cheering and shouting. A 5'4 Asian girl with purple rimmed glasses and dark shadow black hair came bouncing out of nowhere with a 5'9 blonde haired, blue eyed southern gal. They held onto my wrists and pulled me into the sea of teenagers. What the heck?

Strong hands covered my eyes and whispered into my ear.
"The plan's ready."
I quickly spun around and smiled at Andrew. He smiles back and I hug him tightly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ugh! My whole week had been a huge disaster. Seeing Aqua ignore me broke my heart in half. Justin and Austin decided to bring me to the beach to cheer me up but nothing could cure the ache I feel. We drove to the beach in my car and I started seeing some of my teammates' cars parked in the beach's parking lot. Justin and Austin climbed out of the car first and grabbed some towels, a football, and some folding chairs. I got out of the car and walked with them towards our side of the beach. I looked at the basketball's side of the beach and stopped. Aqua was with Andrew, again.

Chapter 13: This Means War

What the heck? Why does she keep hanging out with Andrew?

I stomped over clenching my fist into a ball. Austin and Justin see me and rush over holding me back. Then all of a sudden their side of the beach were surrounded around the border by half of the basketball team creating a human wall. What's going on?

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

I let go of Andrew as Jen and Kat rushed to my side.
"They're all here!" Kat screamed excitedly.
"Let's do it!" I cried out.
Jen cued the secret signal with a flick of her hand like she was shooting a basket and everyone went into formation. The other people who didn't know what was going on just stopped doing what they were doing and looked at us. Some of the basketball members formed a huge human wall around their side of the beach as the football players came towards us. Right on time!

The other half of the basketball team came out of their hiding spot carrying water guns and coolers filled with water balloons. They came over to my side and handed Andrew, Jen, Kat and I the water guns and started tossing the other water guns to the other guys.
"Go!" Kat screamed.
We started shooting the unexpected football players and they tried to tackle us. We ran around the whole beach tossing water balloons at them and squirting them with the water guns. People around us started to join and helped us throw water balloons at the football players. Then all of a sudden, warm hands grabbed me from my waist and lifted me up. They dashed to the water and threw me in. Who the heck?

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the person who threw me in.
"Andrew!" I yelled.
Andrew looks at me from the beach and starts laughing. "You needed to cool off."
"Ugh! Look what you did!" I replied. I looked at myself and started laughing also. I walked up to the beach and took off my clothes so that I was just wearing my bikini. I grabbed the wide mouth Andrew's wrist and pulled him into the water. We started goofing off and soon everyone jumped into the water.
Jen and Kat popped up out of nowhere and whispered, "Look at that!"
They pointed at Shay looking straight at me. Creepy!

I turned my back towards him and started splashing water at Andrew.
"Hey!" cried Jen. "Chicken fight!"
Andrew grabbed me by my waist and lifted me up on his shoulder.
"Hold on tightly," he told me.
I just nodded my head as Jen and Kat appeared on the shoulders of two other basketball players. Jen's partner was Chad and Kat's partner was Daniel. Chad was fairly built, had really bright blue eyes, and blonde hair that glistens in the sun. Daniel was just as good looking with deep green eyes, brown hair that looked spiky and a smile that could kill. The girls and I started trying to push each other off our partners' shoulders and in the end Kat won. The girls and I grew tired so we walked slowly up to the beach and wrapped ourselves in our towels.
We headed to the ice cream shop on the beach and ordered ourselves a sundae to share that had 3 scoops of french vanilla ice cream sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles. When we paid for the sundae, Ms. Wannabe came up to us.
"Heather..." Jen mumbled while rolling her eyes.
Kat and I started snickering and Heather glared at us.
"What!" Heather snarled.
"Uhm," Jen replied trying to make up an excuse.
"I got this," interrupted Kat. "What on Earth are you here for, Ms. Wannabe?!"
"For your information, my name isn't 'Ms. Wannabe.' It's Heather and I'm here because all the popular are here, got that!"
"Your just lucky I didn't call you something worst! Now get out of our territory!" Kat screamed.
Heather came closer to us and leaned right into Kat's face.
"Now look, you aren't that tough enough to pick a fight with me so why don't you scurry back into that hole you came from!"
