Chapter 7

  • "Hey" I say trying to lighten the mood, she turns towards me and glares so hard that I feel uncomfortable
  • "Where were you?" She asks as her voice gives off irritation causing me to nervously gulp and slightly turn away so she wouldn't know I'm lieing
  • "I had to get some homework then I stopped to talk to a friend" I say half truthfully
  • I considered Easton and I frenemies because one day we're nice to each other and the next we're literally snapping at each other for every little thing. That's why when we fight Stella has to either hide all sharp objects or lock us in a room because apparently we 'look like we're going to murder each other.'
  • "Why are you lieing to me? I can tell when you're lieing" she says roughly pulling her hair out of frustration
  • "Fine I didn't get homework, I was just talking to Emma the whole time about the squad and lost track of time" I say to her and stare her in the eyes since this was closer to the truth than my earlier story
  • I visibly see her relax and sigh
  • "I'm sorry, it's just that I thought you were blowing me off to go hang out with your new best friend" she says looking down at her intertwined hands
  • "What new best friend?" I ask confused
  • "Emma" she says sighing
  • "I would never leave you for Emma, especially if I already planned a sleepover with you" I say smiling as she looks me in the eyes then hugs me
  • She pulls back with a suspicious look in her eyes then smells me again
  • "You smell like my brother" she states looking at me with a disgusted face
  • Oh shit.
  • I forgot I hugged him. Make up a lie. Oh man I'm gonna be drowning in lies.
  • "He was chasing me with his cologne trying to spray me, I guess he got some sprays on me" I say shrugging my shoulders even though I was freaking out on the inside
  • "He claims he was trying to make me smell better"
  • "Ugh he's such an asshole" she says as her expression changes from disgusted to sympathetic.
  • We driving the short distance to her house in silence.
