Chapter 15 - A party to remember

"Nina is coming today, I need to make sure my room is clean and tidy."

Edward says as he begins to arrange his room, picking up his dirty boxers, and putting away his comics and funko pops.

He then finishes tidying up his room, then goes outside and enter back inside, to admire the work he's done.

"Woah, are we having the president over."

Jennifer says in shock over seeing how arranged his room is.

"HaHa very funny mom, for your information, a very close female friend is coming today."

Edward tells his mom.

"I knew it, I just knew it either had to be the president or a girl— that would make my son arrange his room, I know you too well."

Jennifer says laughing.

"Ok ok."

Edward says smiling.

——

"Ding dong."

"It must be her." 

Edward says as he rushes downstairs and opens the door.

"Eddyyyyyyy."

Nina says as she jumps up and hugs him.

"Nina is so good to see you, come in, come in."

Edward says as he and Nina enters into the house 

"Woah eddy, you must be rich rich, look at this house."

Nina says flabbergasted.

"I take it you're Nina."

Jennifer says as she comes down from the stairs.

"Yes, Nina is happy you welcomed her into your house." 

Nina says bowing her head

"She speaks in the third person, how interesting."

Jennifer says.

———

"Ok mom, me and Nina will be heading upstairs now." 

Edward says as he Carries Nina by the hand and takes her upstairs.

"If you need anything tell me honey."

Jennifer shouts.

"I will."

Edward says as he closes his room door.

"Woah, Nina didn't expect your room to be this clean."

She says as she looks around.

"Yeah you know me, I'm Mr clean and all."

Edward says as he kicks off a leftover boxer under the bed and laughs nervously.

Nina then lies down untop his bed.

"I've been meaning to ask Nina, what's inside the bag".

Edward says 

"Oh it's the cloth, Nina's wearing to the reunion"

Nina says.

"Yeah I remember today's your middle school reunion".

Edward says.

"Hope you don't mind Nina asking you to play her boyfriend". 

Nina says while looking off to the side nervously. 

———

"Nah it's cool, I haven't done this before, so first time for everything." 

Edward says smiling. 

"Ok that's enough smiles, Eddy go change or we will be late."

Nina says.

"Right right."

Edward says as he enters into the bathroom to change clothes——while Nina stays in the room to change.

As Edward comes out of the bathroom, he sees Nina in a beautiful blue gown….with stones that sparkle blue colors that match her eyes.

"Woah, Nina you look stunning."

 Edward says mesmerized by her beauty.

"You don't look to bad yourself Eddy."

Nina says nervously.

"Ok let's head downstairs as I'm ordering an Uber".

Edward says as he and Nina head downstairs.

———

"Oh my Gosh, is that Mr and Miss universe".

Jennifer says mesmerized by how Edward and Nina look.

"Stop it mom."

Edward says blushing.

"Where are y'all headed to?."

Jennifer asks.

"Eddy's escorting Nina to her Middle school reunion."

Nina says looking at Jennifer.

"Is that so Edward".

Jennifer asks him.

"Yeah…we're just waiting for our Uber to arrive."

Edward says 

"Uber!!!, y'all really ordered an Uber, when you have an F1 driver here." 

Jennifer says smirking.

She then grabs her key from the table, and heads over to her car, and starts the engine.

"Get in y'all."

Jennifer says.

"Your mom is so cool".

Nina says as she rushes inside the car.

———

"Showoff."

Edward says smiling as he enters the car.

"Where to?."

Jennifer says as she revs her engines.

"Duckworth hall."

Nina says.

"We're 20 minutes late mom!!."

Edward says 

"Then y'all should belt up." 

Jennifer says as she starts driving and drifting on the road.

"Is your mom a fast and furious character."

Nina shouts laughing.

"Maybe, Maybe she is."

Edward says laughing too.

After 13 minutes of Jennifer's crazy driving, they arrive at Duckworth hall.

———

"When y'all are done, call me let me pick you up." 

Jennifer says as she drives off.

"That was the best car ride Nina has ever been in."

Nina says smiling.

"Yeah my mom is pretty crazy when it comes to driving."

Edward says 

"Well shall we."

Edward says as he stretches out his hand 

"Let's go."

Nina says as she holds his hand and they both enter into the venue.

——

Upon arrival, they see a bunch of people in different areas of the hall.

"Woah these are a lot of people".

Edward says as he's shocked by the sheer number of people here.

"Yeah Nina went to a public middle school. So our numbers were pretty big."

Nina says.

"Oh I went to private, so yeah I can see why I would be shocked by this." 

Edward says.

As Edward and Nina are talking, a bunch of girls come towards their directions.

"Ninaaaaaaaaaa." 

One of the girls shouts.

"Oh my goshhhh, it is Nina." Another girl says 

They All hug each other.

"Trisha, Eli, and Ivy?—— it's nice seeing you all, y'all have grown."

Nina says smiling.

"You too Nina, you're no longer the 4ft bandit."

Trisha says.

They all start to laugh.

———

"And who is this, handsome devil."

Ivy says looking at Edward.

"Oh, this is Nina's boyfriend , Edward."

Nina says 

"Yeah I'm Edward."

Edward says as she shakes all three of them.

"You landed a keeper here Nina."

Eli says.

"Let me go get you guys some punch."

Edward says as he walks away.

Edward then walks towards where they're serving 

Punch.

"Ed?."

A boy calls out Edward's name.

"Who?."

Edward says as he turns back and sees a familiar face.

"Yo it's really you Ed." 

The boy says. 

"Deville, damn wassup."

Edward says as they hug each other.

"What are you doing here men?."

Deville asks.

———

"My girlfriend said I should escort her."

Edward says.

"Same situation I'm in."

Deville says.

(Deville and Edward are classmates).

"Damn, let's hang out more at the after party."

Deville says.

"Sure thing dude."

Edward says as he starts asking for his punch.

Meanwhile, As Nina is talking to her friends, another group of girls come to confront her.

"Isn't that Nina the freak."

A girl says pointing at Nina.

"Oh my gosh it is her, Amanda."

Another girl says.

"No way, the freak really grew."

Amanda says.

———

"If it isn't Amanda and her two goons, Dimetra and Stacy,——y'all didn't grow out of being henchmen's."

Tracy says while giving them the death stare.

"I'm not interested in you whore, I'm interested in Nina."

Amanda says.

"The hell did you call me."

Tracy is about to react, but Nina gives her a stop gesture and walks up to Amanda.

"What do you want Amanda."

Nina says 

"I want you out of this building, I don't want to see your face here, you irritate me."

Amanda says.

"Nina was invited here, so Nina can stay if she wants to."

Nina says as she confronts Amanda.

"You have the mind to talk to me like that, have you forgotten your place, Nina."

Amanda says.

———

"That's enough of that….don't you think."

Edward tells her while holding punch in his hand.

"And who the hell are you?."

"Her boyfriend."

"What a joke, I'm not in the mood for laughs, now get out, I wasn't talking to you."

Amanda says as she slaps the punch out of Edwards hand.

"You shouldn't have done that."

Edward says as he grabs Amanda by the arm angrily.

Edward then jumps into Amanda's body, as he falls unconscious…and people gather around him, with Nina watching his body.

In Amanda's body, he goes to where the punch is, and raises the whole bowl and pours on her.

He then jumps back into his own body, and the crowd around him settles, after telling them it was just dizziness 

As Amanda gains back control of her own body, she sees that she's covered in punch and people are laughing and recording her.

She then runs out of the venue, with her boyfriend Deville running after her.

"Woah Deville was her boyfriend, where was he All through till now?."

Edward wonders.

———

"Ok now we gonna, turn this dance floor into a slow dance."

The DJ says as he starts playing love songs.

"Wanna dance Nina."

Edward says stretching his hand.

"I would love to." 

Nina says as she takes his hand.

Edward and Nina then start dancing slow.

With Nina's arm across Edwards neck and Edward's hand at her waist.

"You really used your power in public for Nina, huh." 

Nina says blushing.

"Yeah I can't stand bullies, still remembering things from middle school, and bringing it up how many years later to use as a leverage for bullying, it annoys me the mo-."

Edward is ranting but it's interrupted by Nina kissing him. 

"That's a thank you from Nina,. Nothing else than a thank you."

Nina says with a serious look on her face.

"Yeah just a thank you."

Edward also says with a serious look on her face 

"Should I call my mom to come and pick us."

"Yeah I'm getting bored"
