Chapter 1
It was a Monday morning and I was
getting ready to go to school. Firstday of high school and I had no
expectations of it going well. I wore
a blue top with skinny jeans and
headed downstairs. My sister wasalready at the table drinking coffee.
Hey Cara, What are you doing?
You are up early.
Yeah have an early class today.
She replied back.

She was four years older than me,
yet we were frank about anything
and everything. After my elder sis
got married we were best friends
and she knew every little secret
about me. She was like my twin
sister in a whole different way.
Mum entered the kitchen and
poured me a cup of coffee. I was
already late. After saying my
goodbyes I headed out.
I reached the school bus just in time
and saw my best friend Victoria
reading Pride and Prejudice.
Hey, I said while I took my seat
next to her.

Adeline it is the first day of high
school, please be less cheerful the
worst four years of our lifes are
about to start. She said in a
monotone.
Come on, who knows maybe wellhave the best four years of our lives.
Be a little optimistic. I said smiling.
Hanna and Brittany entered and sat
in front of us.
We were friends since kindergarten
and we played together in middle
school. We were best friends.
So how are you feeling girls?
Hanna asked.

Adeline is completely happy about
everything and well I am already
bored. Victoria replied.
We reached our new school since in
middle school we were all in a girls
school. So it was a bit awkwardgoing to co-school but whatever.
Victoria and Hanna were already
committed. Brittany and I were busy
deciding whether we were going to
hook up with anyone or not.
Victorias boyfriend Michael went
to the same high school. They were
seniors if one year difference wascounted. Hannas boyfriend was in
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
6/23
college fianc technically. It was
an arranged family thing.
I took science subjects and lucky
us we were all in same classes too.
First class was boring and Victoria
was busy texting her boyfriend. Inever liked her boyfriend. He
seemed like a playboy and yet
Victoria wouldnt listen to me, even
if I told her he was a total flirt and
could flirt with walls.
I was actually right about her other
boyfriends being jerks. Her Ex
cheated on her with his cousinwhich was totally stupid because
the cousin hooked them up! Well, if
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
7/23
you needed a list of bad boyfriends.
Ha! Victorias Exs list was the list.
On the other hand, Hanna was much
stable. She already liked this guy
and her family also appreciated
David. They had gotten engaged at
fourteen that was hilarious as a
whole party was planned. She even
wears a ring!
I was taken out of my stupor when
Victoria passed me a paper asking
me if I was free after school.
She probably had to meet
Michael, and Hanna would never gowith her and Brittany would make
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love

an excuse about her mum leaving
her behind.
Yeah, I guess I am! Whats up? I
wrote back.
Yeah, its Michael. He wants to
meet after basketball practice. Shescribbled.
This meant I would be going home
late. Yet I said okay to her.
It was lunch time and I saw Ashley
and Emma eating lunch across our
table.
Ashley and Emma didnt quite likeVictoria and Hanna but they were
still friends! Not close but still good
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
9/23
friends. Emma was a Guy Magnet
and it was only half day and she had
ten guys wanting to go out with her.
Emma and Ashley were our
classmates since kindergarten and
our families knew each other well.Their subjects were same and they
also had a few classes with us.
If Victorias group was all
fashionable and girly girl with a bit
of tom-boyishness then Ashleys
group was crazy fun and Head of
School Committee. I felt like I was
the glue between them so basically
I was the reason they talked to each
other.

I was more close to Ashley than
Victoria because I guess we always
clicked more on other things too.
But at the end of the day all six of
us knew each other so well that if
we crossed each others path therewould be collateral damage.
In the rest of classes I sat with
Ashley and discussed a few family
problems she was facing. Afterschool ended Victoria found me and
we went to the gym.
So everything fine with Ashley?
She seemed a bit upset! Victoria
asked while we were heading
towards the gym.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
11/23
Yeah, everythings perfect. She is
just worried about studies. I replied
sounding casual.
When we entered the gym I saw
Michael throwing a three pointer. If
after flirting there was something hewas good at, that would be
basketball.
Hey baby! He shouted while
walking towards Vic.
Hey. She said while they hugged.
Whos this, baby? He asked while
looking towards me.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love

Oh! I forgot to mention. Adeline
this is Michael. Michael this is
Adeline.
They had been dating for two
months and he didnt know her
girlfriends best friend.Nice meeting you. Deep down I
knew I wasnt but for Vics sake I
had to pretend.
Same here. Baby, you didnt tell
me you had such gorgeous friends.
He commented.
I felt sick to my stomach but what
could I have done.

Well, she came with me so she
should probably leave with me too!
I said with a stern voice.
It is okay, Ade. Hell drop me off,
you should go. She said.
Are you sure? I asked.
Yeah everythings okay. She
replied.
Okay then, text me when you
reach home. Okay see you later. I
hugged her and took my leave.
Again it was nice meeting you,
Adeline. I heard Michael shouting.I looked back and smiled only.

While walking towards the bus I
saw Jake standing with a few of his
friends. Ignoring him I sat in the
bus. When the bus was about to
leave I saw Jake entering the bus. I
was in the process of switching on
my iPod when he came up.
Hey can I sit with you? Jake
asked.
I just shrugged rolling my eyes.
I switched on my iPod and closed
my eyes so we could have no
conversation.

This is my stop. I said while
standing up to find him blocking my
way.
Are you free tonight? He asked.
Umm, I dont think we are
acquainted enough for me to tellyou whether I am free tonight. I
said.
Yeah, you are right but this way
we can get acquainted. He said.
Sorry I am busy tonight. So please
can you move your feet? I said
rudely.
Sure. He said stepping aside.
Such a jerk!I thought.

Mom, I am home. I greeted and
headed towards the room.
Ade, you are late. Where were
you? Mom asked.
It was Vic mom. She needed help
so I stayed with her. I replied backwhile changing my clothes.
While you were out The
Andersons called. They want you
there a bit early. Mum said while
picking up my bag.
Okay its 4:30 now. Ill leave at
6:30, Ill eat when I get my sleep. I
asked her to wake me up at 6.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
18/23
Okay then. She said while
leaving the room.
I checked my cell and Vic hadnt
texted me yet! I went into a
slumber.
Mum was dropping me off as I waslate; I brushed my straight black
hair and tied my hair in a high pony.
Hurried downstairs and took the
sandwich mum made for me. Dadwas going to pick me up at 11 and
this was the first and last time I was
babysitting on school night.
Cara was having a sleepover at
our house and it was a rush already.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love

I reached the Andersons at 7:15. I
was about to knock but the door
opened with Mrs. Anderson was
coming out.
Oh Thank God, you are here. She
handed her young daughter Tiffanyover to me. She was almost 1 year
old.
Her food is in the cabinet. I did
feed her so she wont be problem.Her bedtime is 9 and Matthews
tutor would be leaving at 9 so you
have to watch him for 2 hours , we
will be back by 11. She wasspeaking without stopping.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
20/23
Okay, Ill be fine. I said smiling
back.
Well, you should meet Matthews
tutor. She said politely.
I turned around and my jaw was
about to drop but I controlled it. Itwas Jake.
So Jake this is Adeline shell be
taking care of Tiffany, and Adeline
this is Jake. Well be going then,
take care boys and girls. With that
she took her leave.
I am pleased to see you again.
Such a small world isnt it. He said.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
21/23
Well, it is but you should be doing
your work. While saying that I went
upstairs to Tiffanys room.
She was a total angel and slept
right at 10.
While I went downstairs Jake waspacking up things with Matthew.
Matthew was a fourth grader and I
knew him since the day he was
born.
Hey, can I watch TV now?
Matthew asked.
Yeah you sure can! But keep the
volume low. I asked him.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love
22/23
Jake was ready to take his leave.
You sure youll be fine by
yourself? Jake asked.
Its sweet of you asking me that
but I am positive Ill be fine, bye. I
said while he headed out andclosed the door behind him.
I went to the living room and
played x-box with Matthew. It was
10:45 and I tugged Matthew into hisbed and came downstairs; checked
my phone and there was still no text
from Vic.
I texted Hanna asking about Vic
and she texted me back that they
were sleeping over.
8/6/2019 Booked Out For Love

I passed the rest of my time
watching a little of TV. The
Andersons returned at 11 and I
called dad to pick me up.
When I reached home I went to
Caras room to find them watchingResident Evil 4.
I studied till 12 and then slept. I
drifted off thinking tomorrow was
going to be an early morning forme.
