13¤ Vanilla something Pt3

"A party? Hell to the no godmother" Jasmine refused me, her pencil in her hair and piles of scripts she had to go over in her hands.

"Please, please, please Jasmine. I promise it won't be bad. Olivia said that it would be more fun if I came along with my friends, and you're my best friend"

"I know Adrien. But what am I gonna talk about with a bunch of teenagers? High school?"

Yeah she didn't mean in a bad way, but that was really an 'ouch' moment.

"Oh. Okay. I totally get you" I tried to smile, turning my back on her and strolling to my room.

Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ri-

"Hey Adrien, what's up?" Nicolas's cracked voice said into my phone.

"Hi Nicolas. I'm good. What about you?"

"You don't sound so good to me. But I'm okay though. Just got up from a power nap. And I just feel like going back to sleep"

I chuckled quietly, understanding his predicament.

Many a time, I would wake up from what was supposed to be a short nap, and I'd feel like going back to sleep immediately.

"So why'd you call me?"

"What's that meant to mean? Can't I call my friend anymore?"

"There's no way on earth you'd call me, and not have one insane request. So what is it this time?"

That was actually when I realized that he was right. I only ever called him when I needed something. Whether it was to accompany me somewhere, or it was to get something for me, or even to text me homework answers.

"Oh God I feel horrible right now. I'm such a bad friend Nicolas. I'm sorry. I've put you through a lot and I haven't even done anything for you"

"No no" he yawned, the smacking of his mouth sounding a little louder and making me wince. "It's not so bad. It's nice to feel useful you know"

My heart warmed and I smiled at that statement.

"You're such a sweetheart Nicolas. I owe you one. Or maybe two. Doesn't matter. I'm gonna make it all up to you"

"That can wait. What do you need now?"

"Are you doing anything on Christmas eve?"

"Not really. Why are you asking?"

"Well I kinda need someone to go with me to a Christmas even party that a friend's family is throwing"

"I think I'll be available. My parents are doing nothing, except fighting day and night. So yeah. I'm free"

His voice sounded tired and I genuinely felt sorry for him.

"How about we hang out tomorrow? Just me and you? I still have a few presents to get, and I could use some company"

"I'm like your personal escort now, I've noticed" he said, and I could hear the smile in his voice. I smiled too.

"Well you're not wrong. So it's a date? Not a date date. I mean, like a friendly date and all, since we're platonic friends and nothing else. Oh God I sound so stupid"

"Yes. Yes you do Adrien. Incredibly stupid. Now I have go do boy things. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Boy things like what?"

"Bye Adrien" and with that, he hung the call up.

"At least there's someone willing to go somewhere with me" I said in a not so quiet voice when I noticed Jasmine passing by. Hopefully she'll hear me and go on a guilt trip.

***Time skip to the 24th of December, 2016***

"You're still gonna make it, right?" Olivia asked for the third time since she called.

"No. I'll just sleep because it's the next best thing. Of course I'll be there. Don't sweat it"

"Oh. Okay. Sorry for acting so silly. Did you tell Michael anything about this?"

"No. He even called yesterday to ask if I was busy today. Was I meant to tell him?"

"No. And thank God you didn't. Otherwise my plan would have been ruined"

"Plan? What plan?"

"Never mind. See you later" and the call went off.

She better not be planning something stupid. Or I'll kill her.

"Godmother?"

For the past few days, Jasmine and I hadn't talked so much. Except a few words here and there, we said nothing else to each other.

"Yeah?" I asked, the mascara wand stopping mid air.

"Um, I just wanna know if you're coming back today or tomorrow"

"I don't know. Whenever I feel like" I answered, looking back into the mirror.

"Come on godmother, I've noticed the awkwardness between us for some time now. Are you mad at me?"

"Am I mad at you?" I made a face in the mirror before I turn to look at her.

"No. I'm not mad at you. I'm extremely glad at the fact that you called my friends and I, a bunch of teenagers"

"Well that is what you are" she argued back.

"Yeah, it's what we are. But do you only talk about high school with me? I'm the youngest person there, and none of us are even still in high school. So what did that mean?"


"You really are mad"

"No shit, sherlock"

"It wasn't meant to be taken that seriously Adrien. You're just angry that I wouldn't come along with you"

"Well duh. I am angry about that. But the fact that you said, and I quote 'but what am I gonna talk about with a bunch of teenagers, high school?'" I said in a high pitched voice, making her frown.

"I don't sound like that"

"Yes you do" her bushy brows creased together.

"I don't sound like Kourtney Kardashian, Adrien"

"Okay" I picked up my make up (which was consisted of only a mascara tube that was half empty) and I walked out of the bathroom.

Or attempted to.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry"

It was her 'I know that's what you wanna hear voice'

I narrowed my eyes at her for a second, before looking away "you don't mean that"

"I do" she said, blocking my way again. I could easily posh her out (being fat gives you an edge sometimes) but I made a big mistake instead. I looked into her eyes.

The big brown pupils were so enlarged, that she almost looked like a puppy. A wet, suffering puppy that had no where to go and I was it's only hope.

"Fuck you" I whispered in defeat. And she grinned, coming forward to hug me.

Pouting, I hugged her tiny form against my much bigger one.

"I'm sorry. I'm just jealous that you have other friends that aren't me"

She pulled back a bit to look at me "of course I do have other friends that aren't you. You're just more special"

My cheeks went warm and I sighed "you're allowed to have other friends. Just love me more. Okay?"

"Sure, godmother. Now let me go. I haven't showered all week"

I scrambled away from her as quickly as I could, making a disgusted face while she laughed.

"I only did that to get you off me. You know that, right?"

"Bitch"

"You love me"

"Unfortunately"

A little over ten minutes later, I was all dolled up and ready to go.

"Seriously Jasmine. I could've stuck with sweats. What is all this drama about?"

Rolling her dark eyes at me, she bopped my nose. "Adrien, you know I love sweats even more than you do. But you have to look decent. Didn't you mention that their parents are gonna be there?"

"Yeah, Mikey's parents"

"See? If you're gonna date him, the least you could do is to give them a good first impression"

I raised up a brow (or at least attempted to) "since when have I given anyone a good first impression?"

"Well there's a first try for everything"

"Can I at least wear converse?"

"Did you think I was gonna send you out into the outside world with heels?" She fished out my go-to black converse and handed them over to me.

"I was beginning to think so" I grumbled back, sliding the shoes on my feet.

"Shut up"

"Ah. Finally done. How do I look?"

After we made up, Jasmine picked out a black dress that stopped just above my knees (I bought that because it was on sale. For emergencies like these) over my initial plan of grey sweats that made my butt look great. I paired them with maroon tights (or panty hose as we know it) and my legendary converse.

For makeup, it was just the basic mascara and lipstick, the same shade as my tights.

"You look fucking hot. I'd bang you" she winked, giggling afterwards.

"I'm sure Damien wouldn't like that" I played along, twisting one of my braids round my finger.

"Who cares about Damien?"

I giggled. "If we keep this up, I won't leave here. You know that"

As if on cue, my phone rang out, and Nicolas's called ID showed, signifying he was just outside the street.

"Okay that's my cue to go. But I promise I'll be here tomorrow, and we'll celebrate Christmas Jasmine and Adrien style, okay?"

"Yeah sure. Don't drink. You're not legal yet"

"Thier parents are going to be there. I doubt that'll be happening"

"Whatever you say. Go away"

"Bye byeee"

"Hehehe sorry I'm late. I was having a moment with Jasmine"

Eyeing me and shivering, Nicolas stretched out his hand and took mine.

"Shut up"

***Time skip (again) because all Adrien did was to yell 'MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE' like a mad woman, making Nicolas apologize, that his cousin just got out of rehab after 5 years in there. She didn't know this of course***

"Okay I'm going home. Tell Olivia that I tried, but I couldn't. Good bye" I tried to turn, but he pulled me by the collaro of my coat.

"Why do I always have to do the dirty work" he muttered that more to himself that me.

"I am not dirty work. I'm just an ordinary teenager that's nervous to meet her crush's parents. Can't you understand?"

My voice reduced to almost nothing and I widened my eyes, also jutting out my bottom lip slightly.

"I'm not falling for that"

"Well fuck you" I said, allowing him to pull me towards the door of the lighted up house.

It was as if Olivia had been looking out of the Window, because as soon as Nicolas wanted to push the doorbell, she opened the door.

"ADRIEN I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER MAKE IT!!"

She jumped on me, making me stumble backwards.

"Dude, the party starts by seven. This is five forty something. How did you think I wasn't gonna make it?"

It was then she noticed Nicolas, who had been standing in shock through the small drama we put on.

"Erm, hi. Nicolas is it?"

"Yeah nice to meet you..?"

"Olivia"

He stretched out his hand and she did the same. Only for her to lull away as soon as their fingers met.

Smoothing her slightly ruffled red dress, she moved into the house, motioning for us to follow her.

"Is she normally that strange?"

"No. Something is definitely up with her. Have you met her before?"

"What? No. It's the first time. Stop asking weird questions"

"Okay, okay I'm sorry" I raised up my hands in surrender, my eyes wide.

"Are you guys coming in or not?"

"Sorry"

Before stepping into the house, I took off my shoes.
