Chapter 31
Andrea's pov

Meeting Rodney Mullen. That's what I was dreaming about until my stupid brother woke me up.

"Rise and shine buttercup. Time for breakfast." He slapped a pillow on my head and threw the duvet over me leaving me exposed.

It was freezing. We were getting closer to Christmas, a week to be exact, and that meant the temperature was beginning to drop drastically.

"Jake if you're not out of this room in the next five seconds then you won't live to see another day." I say trying to get up.

"5" I count as he laughs.

"4" I continue and he begins to realise that he might actually die.

"3..2..1" I finish counting and he sprints out my room thinking I was going to chase after him.

That fool.

"Andrea, you shouldn't tease a boy like that." I hear Zach say causing me to turn towards him.

"What are you talking about?" I didn't have enough energy to deal with him.

"You shouldn't be walking around showing off your legs like that." He smirks.

"You see my legs all the time when I wear shorts." I state.

"But not like that." He says causing me to look down.

It was the same shirt I wore when he broke into my room at night. I guess you could say that that was our first formal meeting.

"Oh shut up and go to hell." I couldn't be asked dealing with him.

"I'll see you there chica." He laughs and shuts his blinds presumably to go get dressed.

I make the conscious decision to go downstairs and get some calories for the rest of the day however instead of breakfast I was surprised with a herd of stangers.

"Mum. Who are all these people?" I ask scratching my head.

"Well, Frank and I made some calls and we decided that as a gift for winning the competition you get to decorate your room." She clapped.

"But it's fine the way it is." I reply.

"I don't care. You, Andrea Willow Parks are going to decorate your room no matter what. End of discussion." She folds her arms.

"Frankk." I whine.

"This is between you and your mother." He puts his hands up surrendering.

"Jakkke." I whine.

"I was going to help you but after you kicked me out your room, you're on your own." He laughs as he shoves another waffle down his throat.

"I called all your friends to help out as well. Including Zach." She says. "Now eat up." She takes some breakfast out for me.

I looked around the room to see that there were around five random strangers. One was a painter, the other was an electrician, a carpenter, technician and interior designer.

"What's up bitchess." Mia strolls in the room dressed in some weird gear.

Alongside her were: Ethan, Zach, Savannah and Jonathon.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up, we've got a long day ahead of us." She harasses me.

"Mia why did you agree with her? You know I don't like artsy stuff." I whined.

"Beacuse dear you haven't decorated your room since you were four years old and you need some change in your life." My mum cuts in.

"Mum you do know I'm leaving for college in like...9 months?" I calculate the math in my head.

"Which is why I want you to decorate your room. Now get off this kitchen island and go sort your room out. Meanwhile why don't you guys come join me for some snacks in the kitchen." She says to me before turning to their direction.

"Ohh. Thanks Mrs T." Mia beams.

"Oh, I wasn't talking to you. You guys need to go help her. I was talking to the people behind you." Mia turns around and realised that she wasn't the only one in the room.

"Oh..." She steps out the way and allows them to pass through.

"What are you still doing her? Go. Go!" My mum scared us away.

"All I wanted to do today was watch Christmas movies and sleep. I just wanted to Netflix and Chill." I scream as we reach my room.

"Don't worry babe. You can Netflix and Chill with me." Zach winks.

"You better behave yourself today. If I'm going to be spending the rest of the day with you then you better be on your best behaviour." I warn him.

"Aye aye Captain." He salutes me.

"You are so whipped." Ethan laughs.

"Shut up. You're the one that's in love with little miss Barbie over here. No offence." He says to him before turning to Mia.

"None taken." Mia answers.

"Ok guys. Here is how it's going to go. Mia and Ethan, you guys go sort out all that stuff." I point to my wardrobe and my skateboard collection alongside my bed area.

"Savannah and Jonathon. You two are in charge of my desk area and the sofa area." I say to them and they walk away.

"Which leaves us to the rest of the room. Let's start with the shelves." I say to Zach.

He follows behind me like a lost puppy until we reach the shelves.

I take down everything from my shelves which included all my dkat boarding trophies, some frames and my books.

"I didn't know you like to read." Zach says in awe as he puts my books the the cardoard box.

"I'm not just a pretty face." I continue to pack the things.

"You're right. You're not." He states.

After packing all the contents in the boxes I realise that Christmas was nearing and I hadn't bought a single gift for anyone.

"Shit." I curse.

"What?" Zach asks confused.

"Its going to be christmas." I state the obvious.

"And?" He looked curious.

"And I haven't brought anyone gifts yet." I complain.

"You're in some deep shit." He laughs.

"You're supposed to say 'Don't worry Andrea, there's enough time.' Not 'you're in some deep shit.' " I quite the phrases with the aid of my fingers.

"Do you want me to lie to you?" He asks causing me to shame my head. "I guess not." He replys.

We all finish sorting out our allocated areas and the room looked empty. My furniture had been moved out alongside my desk, T.v. and shelves.

"We've got a long day ahead of us." I mutter under my breath.

"What do we do now?" Ethan asks.

"We paint. You dimwit." I throw him a brush and the makeover began.

We all grabbed paint brushes and began to paint the walls. My room was quite big so it will take a long time to paint the entire thing.

My room consisted of a bed, a walk in closet, a bathroom, a window bench, a computer desk, a sofa and a few shelves and drawers scattered around the room.

"I never really noticed how big your room is." Zach says as he paints the wall.

"That's because the only part of my room you get to see is my bed from your window." I state the obvious.

"No shit Sherlock." He laughs.

"Oh, shut up you nincompoop." I laugh.

We were all currently painting the room in different shades. Zach and I were painting one wall Grey. Savannah and Jonathon were painting the other white and Mia and Ethan were painting another wall Black.

We had a long way to go, all we had done was sort the furniture out and paint the walls.

"Hey Andy, do you mind if we take a break?" Mia asks.

"No problemo. My mum's probably made some food if you guys want to eat." I inform them before going back to painting.

They all left apart from Zach who was right by my side painting with me.

"You can take a break too, you know?" I tell him.

"Yeah I know but until you stop I won't stop painting." He smirks at me and continues to stroke the wall with his brush.

This continues for another few minutes until I felt paint drizzle down my back.

My overalls were covered in paint and now so was my back.

I slowly turned around until I am met with Zach smirking ready to throw some more paint.

"You're dead. You know that right?" I say before grabbing a ton of ebony coloured paint and topping it over his head.

"Say cheese." I take my phone out to capture his photo.

"Oh no you didn't." He warns.

"Oh yes I did." I laugh until I feel my paint coming in contact with my hair.

"You're on Cowen." I scream and we both continue to throw coloured paint at each other.

"What have you guys done? Just look at the mess you've made." Ethan screams as they all enter the room.

I look around to see that splatters of paint had ruined our hard work.

"Wait. This actually looks ok. It's not that bad." I think out loud.

"You're kidding, right?" Mia sniggers.

"No, I actually like it." I say and my Mum walks in.

"Well this looks intresting." My mum says.

"You don't say." Jake laughs.

"Anyways, since you guys are done, why don't you go get some rest and let the experts take over?" She raises her eyebrows.

"Taco bell it is." Mia throws her overalls on the floor and heads out.

"I second that." I do the same.

We all make our way into town carpooling in Ethan's car. The radio was on playing country songs until 'Finesse' by Cardi B and Bruno Mars came on.

"Turn the volume up." I scream from the back but no one listens.

"I said turn the damn volume up or else you guys won't be here to greet Santa on Christams Eve." I smile at them until Mia finally turns the volume up.

"No, my baby, don't play
Blame it on my confidence
Oh, blame it on your measurements
Shut that shit down on sight
That's right

We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it

Now slow it down for me baby
'Cause I love the way it feels when we grind
Yeah, our connection's so magnetic on the floor
Nothing can stop us tonight

When I'm walkin' with you
I watch the whole room change
Baby, that's what you do
No, my baby, don't play
Blame it on my confidence
Oh, blame it on your measurements
Shut that shit down on sight
That's right

We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it

Fellas grab your ladies if your lady fine
Tell her she the one, she the one for life
Ladies grab your fellas and let's do this right
If you're on one like me in mind

Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Don't it feel so good to be us, ay?
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Girl, we got it goin' on
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Don't it feel so good to be us, ay?
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on

We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense....".

I sing until suddenly the radio switches off and a stop moving.

"Hey, my music." I whine.

"We're here. And I couldn't listen to you sing any more longer or else we all would be deaf by now." Ethan laughs.

"5..4..3" I count.

"What's she doing?" Ethan asks Mia.

"That's how long you've got to live." She warns him and I reach 0.

Ethan legs it out the car and runs to the mall. I get out the car and dust my joggers before grabbing my phone.

"Aren't you going to chase after him?" Zach asks.

"Nah." I smile.

"Anyways, why don't you look for Ethan and then come meet us at taco bell." Mia speaks as we part from him.

Jonathon and Savannah had left to have some alone time together. Jonathon was taking her out for a movie so we decided to help Savannah get ready then go to the mall.

"Andy hurry. We haven't got enough time." Mia screams and drags me inside the mall.

Another thing that we did was we distracted the boys so we could get some Christmas shopping done.

"Calm your beans. I'm coming." I calm her down.

We both enter out first store which was Victoria Secret. I didn't know why Now had dragged me here because it's not like we would by lingerie for each other.

"Mia why are we even here?" I look around the store searching through the items.

"I'm shopping for my self." She says proudly.

"More like for Ethan." I tease her.

"Shut up." She goes red.

She continues to search through items as do I until I notice Zach and Ethan walking past. I looked up to see that he was looking right at me.

Don't make eye contact. He won't recognise you if you don't make eye contact.

Instead I look up and make direct eye contact.

"I wouldn't imagine little Andrea to be wearing this kind of stuff." Zach laughs.

"Well you imagined right. Because I don't." I say.

"Yes you have. Don't lie." Mia states.

"Well I dont anymore." I say.

"When was little Andrea being naughty?" He laughs.

"You're weird." I state the obvious.

"And the women love me for it." He smirks at me.

"No they don..." I turn around to see a girl feeling Zach all over. And I mean ALL over.

I left them to it and walked over to Mia who was at the cashier ready to pay for her purchased items.

"Can we go now?" I ask.

"Sure." Mia says and a leave the store.

"This is more like it." I say as I drag Mia into Calvin Kliens.

"This is a man's shop." She states.

"It has a women's section." I say pulling her to the women's section.

A browse the items for a while picking out some sports bras, underwear, joggers, sweatshirts and shirts.

"How much are you going to buy woman?" Mia says shockingly.

"As much as I want to." I roll my eyes at her." Now come wait with me in queue." I pull her hand and walk to the medium lengthened line.

We wait for a while until I recognise a familiar face in the queue.

"Montanna?" I call her name.

"Andy? Wow it's so good to see you. I've missed you." She hugs me.

"You do know it's only been two weeks?" I ask.

"I've missed you too much." She laughs.

"So how's the store doing without me?" I try to make conversation.

"It's going well. But I miss having some friends around." She sighs.

"What about Cole?" I ask inquisitively.

"I fired the jerk." She replys.

"Why? What happened?" My curiosity proliferated.

"Oooh. Beef, me likey." Mia looks back and forth at the pair of us but I ignore her.

"Well after you quit he was acting slightly weirder than usual. That's when he tried to hit on me so I fired him since he did have a girlfriend." Montanna explains the situation.

"What a douchebag." I say quite aloud causing everyone to face towards me.

I reached the cashier where there was a slightly good looking Calvin Klien model however although he flirted with me didn't ask for my number.

"I thought he'd ask for my number. I don't think I'm ever going to get a boyfriend. Ever." I complain as Mia and I leave the store and head to taco bell.

"Of course he likes you and he would've asked for your number if you stayed longer." Mia suggests.

"We stood by the cashier for twenty minutes Mia. Twenty." I cry out loud. "I just want my taco bell." I run over to the store and stand in line.

The next half an hour consisted of Mia and I eating taco bell and then eating in McDonald's because who doesn't love a good McDonald's?

"Here you guys are. We've been looking all over for you." Ethan looks at us and heads over.

"You had taco bell without us?" Zach fake cries.

"I bought some for you." Mia says to Ethan and nudges me.

"And I bought some to take home but I guess you could have it." I say forcefully and hand the bag over to Zach.

We drove back home where Ethan had dropped us off. We said a quick goodbye to them before heading into Zachs residence.

"Hola Joanna." I enter his home.

"Hola Andy. I heard Zach took you to Alabama last weekend?" She says.

"That he did. I love Rose and Sebastiàn. Your family is amazing Joanna." I say truthfully.

"Well sometime Ximena can be a puta but apart from that the rest of them are fine. If I say anything about Abuela she would kill me instantly, so no comment." She zips her mouth and Zach and I head to his room.

"What we doing?" I ask jumping into his bed.

"Well I was thinking we could have sex but then I had a better idea." He smirks as he takes his shirt off and changes into another one.

"And what was that?" I demand for an answer.

"Christmas movies." Ha smiles and also jumps into bed.

He grabs a DVD and slides it in and not long later did Home Alone begin to play.

Half way through he film I could see that the entire window was covered with...SNOW.

"Zach, look it's snowing. It hasn't snowed in two years." I scream before getting out the bed.

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"To play in the snow. Now come on, you're coming with me." I state and he gets out of bed and puts his trainers on .

I guess this Christmas wasn't going to be that bad after all.
