"DO YOU THINK ALASKA'S BEING WEIRD?" the brunette questioned, trying to be casual. Rosalie cringed when her cousin pulled the hairbrush back, yanking on her curls. In about an hour, the Decade Dance would be starting. The Mystic Falls Highschool's gym would be filled with hundreds of people and punch, which would most likely be spiked with alcohol. It had been a long time since she attended an event like this, and she wasn't sure how she felt about it.
"Sorry," Caroline mumbled from behind her, tangling her dainty hands in the dark brown locks to arrange it in an intricate side bun. "What do you mean by weird?"
Rosalie stared at her reflection in the vanity mirror. If Alaska was hiding something from me, she wondered, wouldn't she at least tell Caroline about it? Asking her blonde cousin would probably make her suspicious, and the Forbes was a great actor. But she's a terrible liar.
Internally grinning, the brunette put on a nonchalant mask. She played with a few hair clips on the desk in front of her, while her cousin placed a feathered hairband around her head. "Oh, I don't know," Rosalie scrunched her eyebrows. "Everytime I mention Nik she just...pales."
Just like what you're doing right now.
Caroline chuckled nervously, brushing Rosalie's shoulders for nonexistent dust. "You know Alaska, she's weird like that."
The latter hummed, staring at the former through the mirror. "I suppose you don't know anything about it?"
The blonde sat on the bed as her cousin turned around to face her. A look of guilt blanketed Caroline's face, but she smiled, trying to look oblivious. "No," she muttered. "So, do you like what I did to your hair?"
Lie.
She. Was. Lying.
After spending years with the Forbes, the brunette could easily detect when she was lying. Caroline couldn't maintain eye contact, and she usually changed the subject to divert the attention. What was so important that the two closest people to Rosalie didn't have the heart to tell her?
The eldest Monet didn't feel like she had to know everything that went on in the teenagers' lives, but this wasn't about the trio. It was about how the younger pair reacted to his name. Every single time the brunette told her sister or her cousin about her newlyfound friend Nik, they would immediately dismiss the subject at hand. It made her feel as though they didn't care about her relations to other people, because the trio shared everything about everything with each other. Her mood was slightly dampened after Caroline's lie. She would be lying if she said it didn't hurt.
