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

"What do you mean?" I questioned him.
"You really don't know the story do you?" he asked me.
"No. Now tell me!" I ordered.
"Okay, back when Shay was a sophmore and Andrew was a freshman, they fought each other for popularity and power. Andrew and Shay tried to win whatever the other wanted and that included people's side, girls, places, and etc."
"Wait, how does this drag on to Shay pounding Andrew?"
"Well, Aqua you were Shay's best friend and now you're close to Andrew. Do you see the picture?"
"No," I replied.
"They'll fight for you."
"That's just stupid," I laughed.
"Well, it isn't going to be so funny once you see it happen," he responded.
Just then a car honk came from outside and I looked out a nearby window to see that it was Andrew. I hurried downstairs and waved bye to Ty and his mother. I shut the front door and bounded down the gravel path towards a pitch black 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with Andrew leaning on the passenger side. I smiled at him and he opened the passenger door for me. I scooted myself in and Andrew followed my going through the driver side. He started the car and drove me to my house.

When Aqua left my room, I felt a great burden being lifted from my shoulder. As I was thinking about the conversation I had with Aqua, a smile formed and I finally realize I was crushing on Aqua. No! This can't be happening. Aqua is my friend, nothing more.

Just as I was saying that in my head, an image of Aqua formed. She was everything I always wanted in a girl but never had before with my previous girlfriends. Just as I was daydreaming, a car honked from the outside. I looked out my bedroom window and saw Andrew stepping out and leaning on the side of his car.
Why is he here?

I heard the front door creak open and shut. Aqua came sprinting towards Andrew and got in his car. My heads started to hurt as Andrew's car drove out of my view to who knows where. I fell onto my bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 14: Jealousy In The Air

"Shay!" screamed Ty.
I lifted my head up and looked at my digital alarm clock. 9:43 a.m

"Come down and eat breakfast!"
"Ugh! I'm coming!"
I leaped out of my bed and rushed downstairs to the smell of waffles, bacon and scrambled eggs. I walked into the kitchen and saw Ty sitting on a stool at the counter chowing down on a bunch of waffles.
He looked up at me and gulped a piece of it down before saying, "I'm heading off to the amusement park, I'll be back around 6."
I just smiled at him and replied back, "You going on a date?"
His face turned slightly red and shook his head no.
"I'm going with Jen, Kat, Aqua, some of the other guys from the team and Andrew..."
I interrupted him and screamed out. "Andrew!"
"Well, he's my captain and he's friends with Aqua, Jen and Kat, so I don't get what's the big deal."
Ty got up from his stool and placed the empty plate into the sink. He walked right past me and headed upstairs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My iPhone 5 rang out 'Please don't stop the music...'
I woke up and grabbed my phone. I opened up the phone and saw I had a text from Kat and Jen.
'Hey Aqua! Wake up were heading over there right now. We'll be there in about 20 minutes.'
I shut my phone off and shuffled to my closet. I walked into it and pulled a white low rhinestones bow tank with a black trim short and a pair of matching pantie and bra. After that I headed off to the bathroom, took off my pajama and threw it in the hamper before taking a cold shower to wake me up. I let the water run down my skin as I scrubbed shampoo and conditioner in my hair. I finished my shower and grabbed a dry, white towel hanging nearby. I quickly dried myself and put on my clothes. I finished and walked over to the makeup counter and added a swipe of mascara and a clear coat of lip gloss to show off my already pink lips. I dashed out of my bathroom and grabbed some money and my phone and stuffed it into my cream clutch. I quickly rushed downstairs and saw Jessica and Jon opening the front door. They moved aside and I saw a 6'3 muscular guy wearing grey skinny jean, a black plaid shirt with black nerd looking glasses. Andrew?

"Hey?" I questioned Andrew.
"What you're not glad to see me?" He smiled as he raised his right eyebrow up.
"Of course I'm glad to see you! I just thought Jen and Kat were picking me up and we would meet you and the other guys there."
"Yea," Andrew hesistated while scratching the back of his head.
"Are you alright?"
"Aqua, I know we haven't known each other for the longest time but I want to be more than friends!" Andrew finally said.
"Um," I replied.
"I'm so sorry for saying that." He interrupted and slowly dragged himself toward his cars.
"Andrew!"
He turned around with a down look playing on his face.
"I'll go out with you!"
Just when I said that, he hurried back to my side with a smile that could melt your heart in a second. He picked me up and twirled me around. Just then a Jen's car pulled up and out came Jen wearing white denim shorts with an orange wild spirit muscle tee and Kat wearing a fitted oscar wilde tee with light blue denim shorts. They looked at Andrew and I with a questioning look on their face. Andrew set me down and wrapped his right arm around my waist pushing me closer to his chest.
"We're dating." We both answered to their weird back and forth glances.
"Aww!" They both cried out.
They rushed to my side and pulled me out of Andrew's embrace. They started hugging me and congratulating Andrew. Then we headed off to the amusement park in Andrew's car. Jen and Kat sat in the back while Andrew drove and I sat in the front passenger seat. The whole ride to the amusement park took around 15 minutes and we kept each other busy the whole time my singing along to the radio. Once we arrived at the amusement park, Ty was already there with Chad and Daniel. Ty was wearing worn dark blue jeans and a black muscle tee shirt, Chad was wearing a light blue button down shirt and dark blue jeans, and finally Daniel was wearing a grey long sleeve shirt with black stripes and black skinny jeans. We walked up to them and Andrew hands slowly reached for mine and our fingers intertwined with each other. The guys looked at our hand with a shocked expression on their face. Jen and Kat went up to them and whispered to the guys something. Huge grins appeared on their face and they came over and slapped Andrew on the back and hugging me.
Ty leaned close to my ear and whispered, "If he hurts you, you know I'll fight for you even if he's team captain."
I smiled back at him in appreciation and Andrew lead us all to gate. Andrew went up to the counter and asked for seven all day passes. The lady gave it to him with just one quick glance and we left towards the entrance.
"How'd you get those without paying?" I asked Andrew.
"My family owns this place." He replies while chuckling.
We walked into the entrance and headed towards the largest roller coaster they had first. I looked up and saw the roller coaster surrounding the whole park. Yikes!

I guess Andrew sensed that I was nervous because his grip on my hand tightened and he looked down at me with a reassuring smile. I suddenly felt excited for the 5 loops and very high 300 ft fall of the roller coaster we would be riding on. We headed towards the front of the ride while skipping the long line of people waiting for their turn. The employee looked at us confused until Andrew showed his driver's license and the employee gladly let us on. Kat, Jen and I sat in the back of the roller coaster while Andrew and Ty sat in the front and Daniel and Chad sitting behind them. The rest of the spots filled up with other people and the countdown started.
"10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1..Go!" The speakers blared.
Then the ride started moving and we slowly increases in feet until we were finally at the top. Everyone fell quiet and suddenly we tilted forward and everything felt like a blur. Screams were heard in every direction and the girls and I raised our hands up and yelled to our hearts' content. The ride finally slowed down and we
