Foster Troubles

Chapter Eight

"Bethany is going to start wondering where I went." I said, and left the bathroom. She was tidying up the room.

"Did you fall in the toilet?" She asked.

"I'm going to come out and say this. Can I date your brother?" I pleaded.

"Yeah, after what I've done to you, and what has happened, you need some cheering up. He takes care of me, no doubt he won't take care of you."

"We just made out in the bathroom." I giggled.

"Of course. Go if you want more, I'll be cleaning here. I owe it to you." She smiled, chuckling.

"Thank you, Bethany." I went into the bathroom, and opened his door a crack. Leo and Jacob were in his room. Ryder was unpacking a box in the back, as they gobbled on a pizza. He looked at me, when I opened the door. I signaled for him to come. He told the boys that he was going to get drinks. We made out in the bathroom, for a longer time than previously. Then we went out into Bethany's room.

"Eww, go back in the bathroom." She said, and we went out of her room, downstairs to the kitchen, where he grabbed a pack of soda. We went back upstairs. Ryder went into his room, and left me the pack of soda, so he could see me again. I went into Bethany's room, and opened the pack, getting four out for the two of us. From her room, I could hear the boys.

"What happened to you getting drinks?" Leo called.

"I called for room service." Ryder joked.

"We don't have a maid or butler." Jacob said, as Ryder was chuckling.

"Now we do." Ryder laughed. Bethany stood in the doorway laughing. I started dying bringing the pack of soda to them. Ryder grabbed the pack from my hands, noticing it was missing four.

"Where's the rest?" He asked.

"It's for me and Beth. Unless you want to pay me tips." I said.

"Fair enough." He said.

"When did Mila get here?" Jacob asked, as he and I did our handshake.

"When Bethany got home. Stupid." Ryder said, taking out three cans of soda for each of them. He passed the cans.

"You can go, maid." Ryder laughed.

"Can I have some pizza?" I asked.

"No, get out." Ryder said, as Leo handed me a full pizza box.

"Thank you, Leo." I said, and left the room. Bethany took the box, and started eating. We both ate 4 slices.

"I have to meet the girls at the cafe."

"Tell them to come here. Girls' night?" Bethany cheered.

"I'll ask them." I said, as I called Crissie on my phone.

"Mila?" Crissie said.

"Are you with the girls?" I asked.

"Yeah. When are we meeting at the cafe?" Crissie asked.

"Can we have a girls' night at Bethany's instead? I'm sorry." I said.

"That would be lovely. The girls say yes. Now? We'll be there in 10 minutes." Crissie said, hanging up the phone.

Ten minutes later, they arrived. We went to Bethany's room, and started setting up. I went into Ryder's room, and got 2 more boxes of pizza, they had ordered 8 boxes.

"Why'd you guys order so much pizza?" I questioned.

"Why are you taking so many boxes of pizza?" Jacob asked.

"It's for your girlfriend, smart one."

"She's here?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah. Crissie," I called.

"Yeah?!" She called, entering the room.

"Your boyfriend." I said.

"Oh, hey." She said, kissing Jacob. "Hi Leo, Ryder. I'm hungry. Come on, Mila." We went back to Bethany's room, where it was all set up. There was even a fort. The floor was covered in sleeping bags. The girls started eating the pizza. I went to grab another box. Ryder had told Leo that we were dating, and to prove it, he kissed me.

"Must hurt. Kidding." I said, exiting the room. After the girls finished eating, we watched a movie, in Ryder's room, since Bethany didn't have a tv. I sat with Ryder on his bed.

"Why'd you tell him?" I asked.

"You know you wouldn't have told him." He said.

"Still, you couldn't have given it more time?" I questioned.

"I'm sorry, Camila." He said. We watched the movie in silence. After the movie, they decided to play truth or dare. It was near the end of the game where Desi has dared Destiny to kiss Bethany. Destiny dared Leo to ask me to the dance. He asked me, but I was silent. Bethany looked at me.

"Camila? Yes or no?" Crissie asked.

"I can't. It's not you, Leo, or you, Ryder." I said. "I'm not going." Everyone was dead silent.

"Mila, just tell them." Bethany said.

"If I go to the dance, I'm expelled." I stuttered. "Someone told the principal that I threatened Bethany, so he banned me from going to the dance, if I go, I'm expelled."

"Daamn," Destiny said. "How'd you know it wasn't Bethany, herself?"

"Because I was with her all week. Everyone here knows about me and her, one of you bitches was talking shit." I said, getting up. I went into Bethany's room to get my soda.

"You seriously went to get a soda?" Jacob said.

"Shut up, Jacob." I said.

"It wasn't Bethany. Nobody is leaving until one of you fesses up. I swear I will smack the shit out of all or y'all, if you don't spill." I said.

"It wasn't Ryder, he doesn't know shit." Bethany said. "It was a girl."

"Desiree Marin. Thought you looked familiar. You got kept back, didn't you? 6th grade, because you couldn't focus? Always watching others, snitching? What did they say? Ditch the snitch bitch? Tell your sister I'm breaking up with her." Ryder laughed.

"Get out!" Bethany yelled.

"Go tell the principal it was a lie, or I swear I will beat the shit out of you." I said. "And it won't hurt to watch you cry in pain." Desi didn't move.

"I'm glad someone else is tired of her, broo, I dumped your ass last week." Adelaine said. Desiree started crying. She ran out of the house.

"Mila would've really beat her ass." Crissie laughed.

"She better tell the truth, and we better get a new principal. We need you at the danced, and this poor boy is gonna be stupid without you." Destiny said. Leo chuckled.

Ryder whispered in my ear. "We're not going to work out, you're gorgeous and all, but Leo's your boyfriend." I nodded. I got up, and went behind Leo, tilting his head back, and kissing him. He pulled me onto his lap.

"To where it all started."
