I wake up in the morning feeling pretty good. I stretch a little and I check my phone. I see a text from Alexis last night at about 11:30 that says Okay. I'll be back soon. See you tomorrow! Wow. She was getting back late. I guess that's the date life. Haha. I then see no text from Justin, so I decide to text him instead. I text Morning Justin! Hope you have a great day! I then close my phone and I get up from bed.
I walk out my room and I check to see if Alexis is awake. I see her door open and she is sitting up in bed. I say "Morning. What should we have for breakfast?" She replies "Whatever you want to make." I reply "Alright." I walk into the kitchen and I get smoothie stuff out. I warm two croissants for breakfast. I make the smoothies and I pour them into two glasses. I put the croissants on plates and I put the food on he table. I yell "Breakfast is ready." Alexis walks in and we sit down.
I start the conversation by saying "So, how was your date?" She replies "Well, I mean the beginning was rocky with him being late, but as soon as we got to to dinner, it was amazing. The place was nice and we got to sit out back on the patio, which had really pretty lamps. It was so picturesque there. The food was magnificent omg. Then, we headed to one of his friend's parties and we danced. I didn't drink anything and he only drank one something. I wasn't really paying too much attention because I was amazed by everything going on there. I was like this is what college is like. Haha. We left and we parked in a parking spot here. He leaned over and I had my first kiss. It was pretty magical like they say. Then, I left and came up here. I unlocked my door with my cool key and went into my room. How was your night?"
I reply "Oh it sounds like you enjoyed it so much. I'm glad. Well, they looked around and we talked about books for a little. We then ate cookies and pizza for dinner, which was great. We continued to talk for a little bit longer. We then watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off. After that, I introduced them to Psych and I told them about how the pilot was okay, but they got funnier after. They stayed for two and they were leaning on me. They really didn't want to go, but I told them we could hang out again soon. They said they would invite me or us both when their apartment is done. I gave them some pizza to go, but we still have some here. We can have it for lunch or dinner or even both. It was fun though."
She replies "Well that sounds fun. They probably enjoyed themselves so much. Pizza sounds great for lunch and dinner. Yum." I reply "Yes it does. What are your plans for today?" She replies "Oh I don't know yet. We could leave after lunch and just go swimming. That sounds nice to me." I answer "Sure." We finish breakfast and we both go to relax a little. I put on my workout clothes, I grab my earbuds and phone. I also grab my keys to the apartment. I then slip my shoes and socks on. I go into Alexis' room and I say "I'm going on a run, so see ya." She replies "Wait. Can I go with you?" I reply "Ok. I'm going to wait by the door and I'm leaving in 5 minutes." I walk out her room and I wait by the door. I set a timer for 5 minutes. As it's going off, Alexis shows up ready to leave. We walk out and we go down the stairs. We walk to the trail and we stretch. We both put our earbuds in and we start running.
We reach the end of our trail loop and we head back. We walk up the stairs and to the apartment. We each go to change into our swimsuits. I put a cover-up on and I then put sunscreen on. I slip my flip flops on and I walk to the Alexis' room. She is in her outfit. I say "Do you want to bring lunch or eat here?" She replies "Oh we can eat there." I reply "Okay. Grab two towels and put them in our swim bag. I'll pack the food and drinks." She leaves to pack the bag. I put pizza in two bags and I slide it in a bag. I then put two bags of chips in there and I grab two water bottles. I walk to the front door and Alexis is there. I say "Hey. Want to grab a book to read? Something to write? Or something to do as we wait for our food to digest after we eat." She replies "Ooh that's a good idea. Sure!" I walk back to my room and I grab a book off my bedside table. We then walk out and we lock the door.
I then hear someone yell "Clarissa! Alexis!" We turn around to see Alexander and Xander running over to us. Alexander says "Where are you two headed?" Alexis replies "The pool." Great now they will want to come. Why did Alexis tell them? Ugh. She better not be trying to set me up. Xander replies "That's a fun outing. Did you guys go on a run this morning? We saw two girls running, but we didn't know if it was you or not. So, we decided not to say hi then. Now, we know it's you." I answer "Well that's cool." Alexander replies "May we come with you?" Both guys turn to me. I reply "I'm leaving it up to Alexis." Alexis groans and says "Really Clarissa? Leaving it up to me. Well, sure I guess you guys can come. We'll give you five minutes and you can catch a ride with us. Bring lunch because we are and we don't want you two to starve to death or get mad with us eating in front of you." They both nod and Xander says "Okay. We'll meet you at the bottom of these stairs in five minutes. Thank you." They both run away. We walk to the bottomm of the stairs and we wait. Alexis says "What was with the whole Alexis can pick thing?? I had no idea what to do. I just assumed it would be nice to hang out with them. Plus, I was kind of trying to set you up." I laugh and reply "I could tell you were trying to set me up because right when the both looked at me, you were like what and you said yes. I mean I'm glad they are going to come now, but I think we need a girl day soon or we need to not spend time with them tonight and it can be just us." Alexis replies "Well, we can definitely hang out tonight because I told my date no. I'll make sure to say no to tonight because that way I have a reason for why to say no." I laugh a little and say "Okay sounds good." Xander and Alexander show up each holding a bag. Alexis says "I call shotgun." They laugh and we walk to the car. I unlock the car and I slip into the driver seat. Alexis gets in next to me and the boys slide in the back. I turn on the radio station that I like and I start the car. I begin our drive to the pool. Xander says "Nice car. I like it. How long have you had it?" I reply "About 2 years ago when I got my license and my parents decided I could get a car. I really enjoy driving in it. Do either of you have a car?" Alexander replies "Yeah I have one. It's not that good though because it jerks when I start it." Xander replies "Um...I'm pretty sure that is your fault because you get mad it doesn't start easily." Dang well he was just served. Alexander spits back "Xander, that's so mean to accuse me of doing something wrong." I quickly raise my voice and say "Boys boys please stop this bickering in my car. I don't want anyone to get injured inside or outside while you're here." They both smile and say "Yes ma'am." We keep driving in somewhat comfortable silence. Alexis finally says "I hear that you all had fun last night with movies and pizza." Alexander replies "Yes it was so fun." Xander adds "Same. I think it was also relaxing in a sort of way." I keep driving and I pull into the pool parking lot. I exclaim "Well we're here everyone." I park in a shaded spot and we all get out.
We make our way to the entrance and we go in. We find a similar spot to last time we were all here together and we sit down. Alexis and I spread out the blankets to sit on. We all take our seats and start lunch. I notice that they also both packed pizza for lunch. How nice.
I exclaim "How is you guys apartment going?" Alexander says "Pretty well. When we get back, we're going to keep building and setting things up." Xander adds "We also have to get the tv working." Alexis replies "Sounds like it will be productive. I just want to let you know that Clarissa and I are hanging out tonight, but we can all hang out tomorrow again." They both nod. We all finish lunch. I say "We don't know if you guys are going to hop right in or if you're going to wait until your food is digested. But, Alexis and I each brought a book, so that our food settles and we dinner throw up in the pool." Xander replies "I'll wait a little." Alexander answers "Same."
I take my book out and I open it to the last page I was on. I read for a while until I hear "Clarissa. Clarissa! Are you alive?" I look up to see all three of them staring at me. I say "What's up?" Alexis says "You were so into your book that you didn't hear all of us trying to get your attention. We want to go swimming now. Are you ready?" I reply "Sure and sorry." Alexis smiles and says "No problem." I close my book and I put it in the bag. I take my cover-up off and I put it in my bag. I grab my sunglasses and I stand up. Alexis stands up as well and we both start waking. Alexander and Xander come as well.
I hear "Hey!! Are you Clarissa Carnell?" I turn to my right to see two girls looking at me. I reply "Yeah I am. How do you know me?" One girl says "You and Justin Bieber's singing videos." The other girl adds "We both really liked your voice, so we watched all your videos from your channel. We agree that you two have great voices together and you seem like a wonderful person to follow and be a fan of." Omg what the heck?!?!? What is life? I reply "Thank you both so much. That means so much to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos so far. I love you guys. Thanks. Want a picture? Autograph? Follow on social media? What? Also, what are your names?" The first girl says "My name is Elaine." The other girl who gave the long speech says "I'm Eliza. A picture sounds great." I reply "Okay." I notice Xander and Alexander left to swim, but Alexis is still here. I say "Alexis, could your pretty please take our picture?" Alexis replies "Sure thing." The girls each hand her their phone and we take several pictures in hope that they like at least one of them.
After the pictures, I say "Make sure to tag me
whenever you post them. Thank you guys! Bye!" I walk away with Alexis. Alexis says "I can't believe it. My apartment mate is getting popular." I reply "Yes only a matter of time before people start stalking my life." Alexis laughs and says "Oh yeah. Paparazzi will be bad. Oh well. Hey, so I don't know if you knew, but I sing as well. We could maybe you know make a video?" I answer "Sure Alexis! Sounds like a great idea and super fun!" I know she might just be doing this for more popularity or more fans, but I don't care. Alexis deserves some fans because knowing her she is a good singer. If she happens to go behind my back later and hurt me, you know she was a fake friend then. We arrive at the pool & we see Xander and Alexander swimming. Alexis and I jump in and swim over to them. Alexander says "So, you have fans now Clarissa?" I reply "Yeah I guess so. I didn't realize people actually liked it until now. Haha." Xander says "That's so cool." I nod and we keep swimming. After a while, we all get tired and we go to our stuff. I wrap my towel around myself and I sit down.
As we wait to dry a little, I open my phone. I look on Instagram to see Elaine and Eliza's pictures. I like them and I comment Loved meeting you! Hope to see you again! Thanks for the support! I then open Twitter. I see they both tweeted me as well. I reply to them Thanks for being awesome and supporting me! You're so kind:) I then text Justin I met two fans today. They saw your video because they had been supporting you, but when they saw me, they decided to support me. Yay! Love you! Thanks for everything! I close my phone and I look up. I feel pretty dry, so I put my cover-up back on. I say "You guys ready to go? Maybe we can see if they have snow cones also." Alexander replies "Sounds good." Everyone gets ready and we walk out. Outside of the exit, I see a snow cone stand. I exclaim "Yes. They have snow cones! Does everyone have money?" They all reply yes. Okay good:) I walk up and I get a small mango snow cone. Yum. We all walk over to this table under a tree.
Alexis and I sit one side & the guys are on the other side. I say "What are all of your favorite flavors of snow cones?" Xander replies "Blueberry all the way." Alexander says "Green apple." Alexis says "Strawberry, Cherry, or Bubblegum." I exclaim "My favorites are Mango, Pineapple, Strawberry, and Cherry." We all talk a little more.
When we finish, we get into my car. I start the car and I put some music on. I start driving back to the apartments. Xander exclaims "Thanks for today. It was fun." Alexander adds "Yeah today was fun." That's good. Sounds like everyone had a fun day. I pull into our parking lot and I park in my spot. We all get out and give each other hugs. We all walk up and head to our apartments.
Alexis opens our apartment door and we head in. I start waking to my room when Alexis asks "Clarissa, are we not going to talk about this?" I turn around. Uh oh. What happened? I answer "Uh sure we can talk about whatever you want. What's the issue?" She replies "C'mon Clarissa! You can't be seriously this blind to see that both guys were so into you today. You weren't watching, but as you were taking off your cover-up, both of them were staring at you like you were the only thing in the world. Also, when those girls approached you, they looked surprised, then they left. As you were talking, they paid close attention and looked liked they both wanted to kiss you. Problem is, there is one of you and two of them." Ok. Wow. I say "Were you watching them watch me? Because it sounds like you were calculating their every move. Do you have a crush on one of them or did you at one point?" Alexis shrugs and says "Yes. When we first met them, I liked Xander because he was quieter and he seemed to be less arrogant. Idk, but I kind of still like him and I want to go on a date with him." I reply "Aw yes you should. It would be super cute. See? The reason I don't want to date one of them is because I don't know if Justin wants a relationship with me after tour or whatever. Like idk and I don't want to break anyone's heart for someone else. It's hard because I know they like me and I just don't know what to do. Do you understand?" Alexis nods and says "Oh I understand that feeling. Not knowing who to like or who to date. It's hard. I think you should talk to Justin about the situation. Surely he would understand and he would let you know his opinion." I reply "Yeah he probably would give me a good idea on what to do. He even told me not to be afraid to date. Well, I'll text and call him later. Wanna film the singing video after we shower?" Alexis replies "Omg yes! Can't wait!" We then separate and I go to my room.
I walk inside my room and I toss my flip flops off. I then text Justin I want to talk to you tonight. I have something to ask. Thanks and love you! I close my phone. I grab a cute t-shirt and some shorts. I grab everything else I need and I go to my bathroom. I take my shower. I then blow dry my hair and I comb in. I put lotion on and I move my swimsuit. I lay it out on the floor. I finish in the bathroom and I head into my room. I check my phone to see if anyone texted. Justin texted Yes! Tonight around 5 ish! Call me! I text back Okay I will! I then close my phone and I put it in my pocket. I grab my camera and I head over to her room. I knock and she lets me in. I walk in and I say "Okay. Ready for the video?" She replies "Sure thing."
Alexis says "I was thinking for my video we could do Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande. What do you think?" I reply "Ooh good choice. For my channel, we can do Dark Horse by Katy Perry with Juicy J." She replies "Ooh I love that song."
We set our cameras up. I say "Alexis, let's start with yours." She nods and starts her camera. We do the intro and we start. Her voice is so pretty. I'm so stunned. We finish recording her video and I tell her "Wow. Your voice is so beautiful. Wow." She replies "Thanks Clarissa." We then film my video. At the end, when I stop recording, I say "Your voice is just so good. Wow. I'm still so impressed." Alexis laughs and says "Aw thank you. I love your voice so much too." I exclaim "Well thanks girly. Okay, so I'm going to go see if Justin can talk now or later. I'll be back eventually. Don't worry." She replies "Remember to ask him about dating and stuff." I nod and answer "Thanks for reminding me."
I walk out her room with my camera. I set my camera down on my desk and I take my phone out. I text Justin Call me when you're ready. I won't be doing anything for the next little while. He texts back Give me like 5 more minutes and I'll call! I text back Okay! I close my phone and I set it on my bed. I open my book again to keep reading from where I left off. After a few minutes, I receive a call from Justin. I click answer. I realize this time it isn't FaceTime. Hm...
((below is the conversation))
J--Justin
C--Clarissa
J--Hello Clarissa. Sorry for not doing FaceTime tonight and just calling you. I know it's a little weird. Enough about me, what's up with this call? You said you wanted to talk.
C--Hey again Justin. I don't mind the whole just call thing. I honestly just wanted to talk. You know how you said I could date, were you telling the truth? Or not because I feel like if I dated someone, then I don't want to get attached to them and not want to date you again. I really love you and care for you and I have no idea what to do.
J--Sweet sweet Clarissa. I love you and I care for you as well. I was telling the truth when I said, I wanted you to date other people. I want you to have more than one experience and I want you to be able to live your life not waiting on me. The only thing we would have to do is tell our parents. We'd have to say that we parted as friends, but we decide the long distance would be too hard to handle. Funny enough, I needed to talk to you about this as well because I found this girl who is really pretty and I wanted to go on a date with her. Well I'm glad we're on the same page Clarissa.
C--Thanks Justin. I'm happy too! I will still come to your first show and I will continue to support you.
J--Well I'm glad. I will love seeing you then. What is busier for you in school? Spring or fall?
C--Fall time usually. Why?
J--Just wondering. Love you and glad I talked to you!
C--Love you too. Bye!
((end of conversation))
I close my phone and I smile. I text my mom
So, here's some big news. Justin and I have broken up. We decided that long distance would be too hard to handle. We basically wouldn't see each other at all within the next year. So, We parted as friends and I'm still going to go to some of shows. I'll still support him no matter what. I miss him and love him still. He never hurt me and he was so kind. He is such a good person and I'm glad I met him. Text me any questions or comments or what you think. Love you Mom and be sure to tell the boys of the family! I then close my phone and I put it on my desk.
I walk out and over to Alexis' room. I knock and then I walk in. Alexis says "What did Justin say?" I reply "Oh he said he wanted to ask me about dating other people as well. Apparently he met a really pretty girl and wanted to ask me about it. He said I should be able to live my life and not feel bound to him. Are you going to ask out Xander? Or are you going to keep going with that sub dude?" Alexis laughs and says "Um no. I'm not going to keep on with that sub dude. I want to ask Xander out. Speaking of that sub dude, I need to cancel my date tomorrow with him. What should I do to ask Xander out?" She takes her phone out and is texting someone. I say "Do something cheesy." She laughs and replies "Ooh perfect. Okay,8 cancelled that other date. Wait, do we have candy?" I answer "Yes why?" She says "I'm going to do a really cheesy idea. Come with me to see it."
I follow her to the kitchen. She grabs a plastic Ziploc bag and puts some candy in it. She then grabs a little piece of paper and writes on it. She writes Xander...Will you go on a date with me? I promise it will be sweet. I laugh and smile. Such a cute idea. She says "This feels like to will be for homecoming or something. Haha." I smile and say "It's so cute. You should bring it right now." Alexis answers "Yeah I probably should before he starts dating someone else. See you in a few!" She slips on flip flops, grabs her candy bag, and grabs her phone. She then walks out the door.
I walk to the pantry and I grab a bag of ready to pop kettle popcorn. I put it in the microwave. I sit on the ground because why not wait on the ground. I then open the microwave and I get the popcorn out. I pour it in a bowl. I grab two bottles of water as well. I carry the water and the popcorn to the living room. I set the blankets out and I get the movies out. I hear a knock on the door.
I walk over and I open it. It's Alexis, Alexander, and Xander. I say "Oh hey guys. Is everyone coming over for the movie?" Alexis replies "If it's okay with you. Please." I reply "I'm good. I'll grab two more waters for you two. I already made popcorn." I let them in. I walk into the kitchen and I grab two waters. I bring them back to the living room. Alexis says "Boys, pick a movie. I need to borrow Clarissa for a moment." Xander replies "Take all the time you need." Alexis smiles, giggles, then pulls me out the room.
We walk into Alexis' room. Alexis says "Okay, I want to explain myself because you are probably pretty mad at me." I reply "Just a little." She exclaims "Well, I headed over there very confidently. Then, I started pacing outside their door and I finally knocked. Xander opened the door and I got on one knee, which he cracked up about. I asked him if he wanted to go on a date and he was so surprised. He agreed and aid yes! He then hugged me and ate some candy. I was acting too happy and excited that I then invited him and Alexander over. Well at first, it was just going to be Xander, but I saw Alexander was just sitting alone in the apartment and I also didn't want you to third wheel. Thanks for all the treats though girly." I laugh and say "Honestly I don't care. I thought he said yes because he was like take all the time you need. I was like ooh he likey you." She laughs and hugs me. I say "Ready to head out?" She nods. We then walk out and to the living room.
Alexis sits down next to Xander. I walk over to the movie bin and I say "What movie did you guys pick?" Xander says "Star Trek: Into Darkness. You guys have a great movie selection." I reply "Thanks." I move the movie bin back over into its spit. I then get the movie. I pull the disk out and I put it into the DVD player. I grab the remotes and I sit down next to Alexander. I turn the tv on, then I turn the movie on. It begins....
I know Star Trek is super nerdy, but who cares? It's so funny and I really love it :)
During the movie, Alexander ended up getting closer to me then when it started. Aw how cute. I guess Justin was right that I should date someone. Alexander is the lucky winner. Haha. Not really lucky I mean idk. I haven't even asked him yet. Oh well.
At the end of the movie, Xander says "I never want to leave." Alexis replies "I don't want you to leave either." Aw how cute and in love. I sit up. I start grabbing the bottles and the popcorn stuff. I carry it to the kitchen. I throw some stuff out and I put the bowl in the sink. I hear some behind me. I turn around and I see Alexander. He is holding a popcorn bowl and he is smiling. I say "Thanks Alexander. I would've gotten it soon." I take the bowl from
him and I put it in the sink. Alexander laughs and respond "I didn't want to be stuck with those two as they say love and dating stuff. It annoyed me." I laugh and reply "So true haha. Sorry for leaving you in there." Alexander smiles again. He runs a hand through his hair and looks nervous. What is going on? Alexander finally says "So, what is your relationship status? Single? Complicated? Dating?" Wow what a bold question. I answer "Single. What about you?" Alexander smirks and says "I'm single too. Since we're both single, do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?" I reply "Sure Alexander. I'd love to." He wraps his arms around me and says "Thank you so much." I hug him back and say "Don't worry. I'm super excited." He lets go and smiles. He exclaims "I wasn't positive coming into this you would say yes, so I didn't finish planning everything. Basically I will text you tomorrow morning with the time and stuff like that. Is that okay with you?" I answer "Sure. Can't wait!" He hugs me again and says "Alright. I'm going to get Xander and we'll leave to let you girls have your beauty sleep before your dates tomorrow." I laugh. He leaves the room. I follow him and I see him pulling Xander. Xander finally gets up and they both leave.
Alexis says "Well what happened?" I tell her everything. She squeals and says "Oh my gosh. That was so bold of him to just ask your relationship status like wow. He's so sweet though. He sounds so cute like he planned it. Aw." We talk a little more before I head to my room. I change into pajamas.
I read a little more before I decide to go to bed. I turn off all my lights and I realize I have a good life.
