Second chances

Chapter 3: friends and fiancés

Two days later I woke up to my alarm clock beeping. I laid there delaying the inevitable. But soon it was undeniable. I had to get out of bed. So I dragged my lazy ass out of bed and headed towards the shower with my iPod. But alas someone was already in their.
"Damn," I muttered as I stood by the door. Five minutes past and I almost fell asleep while standing. When suddenly the water stopped. My sleep riddled mind didn't quite register what was happening so I didn't get out of the way and someone walked straight into me. I took a step back from the impact and looked up. What I saw was a half naked Fílí standing in a towel. Wait his names Felix, not Fílí.
"Hey you alright?" Felix asked.
"Y-yeah, umm well, I'm just gonna skouch past," I said edging around Felix and into the bathroom. I quickly shut and locked the door. Then turned to the mirror. Damn his body is heavily buil- stop it Adie. Don't think like that. I shock off my thoughts, turned the shower on and blasted my iPod out. A few seconds later the water was ready and I hopped in.
Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon came on and I started to sing the lyrics. By the end I was belting it out with no shame. A few songs later I got out, wrapped a towel around me and ran out of the bathroom towards my room. Unfortunately for me Kayden decided to use the moment to step out of his room. There was no stopping for me and we collided. Luckily for me I kept ahold of the towel and Kayden didn't see anything. But it seemed that Kayden slept in only his boxers. Damn damn damn DAYUM!!! Am I living in a house with two supper models? Apparently yes.
"Hey Adie, how are you?" He asked.
"Umm pretty good, school today so yeah, as good as I can be," I replied. Kayden looked down and his face started to go bright red.
"Umm Adie, you're in a towel," he reminded me.
"Shit, well umm see you later," I said speeding to my room, leaving a red faced Kayden in my wake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I'd gotten into my gorgeous school uniform, I walked into the kitchen and started making toast. After a few minutes Felix came in followed by Kayden. They both got themselves some cereal and sat down.
"So first day at Parakimete College," I said. The two nodded and smiled.
"So you excited?" I questioned.
"Yeah, can't wait," Kayden said enthusiastically.
"I have never seen someone so pumped to go to school, wait apart from five year olds, so let me rephrase that. I have never seen someone so pumped to go to high school," I stated. Felix laughed.
"Yeah, he's always been like that" he supplied. I nodded.
"You are a strange child," I deadpanned. Felix laughed even harder while Kílí pouted.
After breakfast we got our bags and headed out the door seeing as it was time to leave.
"So you walk to school everyday?" Kayden asks.
"Yeah, everyday," I replied. Kayden hummed and we kept walking.
At the bus stop the two stood at either side of me like my own personal bodyguards. At that moment I could imagine myself keeping calm and ordering Kílí to shoot it. Once the bus came we boarded and I sat in my usual spot. Normally I sit alone, but Kayden had a different plan. He decided that he would sit beside me. Felix sat behind us.
"So what do we do when we get to school Di?" Kayden asked. I smiled at my nickname.
"Well Kay, you and Fee should probably go to the student office," I said with a chuckle. Kayden smiled and nodded.
"Cool Di, so who do you hang out with?" Kayden questioned. My heart missed a beat as I realised that I would have to face my friends and their tidal wave of questions when I got to school. Knowing my friends, half of them would be very........ interesting.
"Di you okay?" Kayden was asking while waving his hand in front of my face.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine," I said. Kayden looked at me doubtfully, but he shrugged it off. We spent the rest of the bus ride in semi silence, with Kayden asking a question every now and then.
When we arrived at school I dreaded going to see my friends. I slowly started towards our hangout with Kayden and Felix following.
"Hey guys," I said walking up to my friends.
"Hey Adie," Shayla greeted and then they saw Kayden and Felix.
"Yeah, guys this is Felix and Kayden, the two exchange students I was telling you about," I said. I sighed as Lilly was not so subtly checking them out and Shayla was standing there catching flies.
"Guys, guys, GUYS!!!" The two snapped out of their shocked states. Kayden started to laugh at their reactions.
"So Di, these are your friends?" Kayden asked through his laughs. I grimaced and sighed.
"So, Di, where's the school office?" Felix asked. I blinked for a moment.
"Umm you go down there then turn left then right then keep going down the hall," I said. Felix and Kayden nodded then started towards the office.
"See you later Di!" Kayden called.
"Kay Kay!" I called back. When I turned around Shayla and Lilly were on me.
"Who? What? When? Why? How?" Shayla demanded.
"I already told you, they're exchange students from England, they came on Saturday," I said.
"That's not what I'm asking, have you not noticed that they look like freaking Fílí and Kílí?" She questioned shrilly.
"Noooo I didn't realise," I replied sarcastically.
"Well Kílí's mine, he's now and forever my bae," she said. I groaned.
"His names Kayden," I sighed.
"So you got yourself a nickname and everything in two days?" Lilly said eyebrows raised.
"Yeah so what?" I asked defensively. She just smirked.
"Lilly, no, don't start, please, I only met them two days ago," I said noticing the smirk she was wearing. But I knew it was too late.
"I'm never going to hear the end of this am I?" Lilly shook her head confirming my suspicions.
"Hey Adie you can be the maid of honour at my wedding," Shayla commented. I chuckled at her.
"Maid of honour? Who's the fiancé?" as we were talking we didn't notice that Kayden and Felix had come back. I burst out laughing as Shayla's face turned beat red.
"Logan Lurman," Lilly deadpanned, saving Shayla. I laughed so hard at Kayden's face that I was in tears. Felix looked slightly worried.
"Don't worry she does that a lot," Lilly said. I was lying on the ground clutching my stomach.
"It...... hurts," I managed to say between gasps.
"What is it that time of the month honey?" Dammit Lilly.
"Not...... helping," I gasped out. A few minutes later I'd calmed down enough that I could breath properly.
"You okay now?" Felix asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine Fee," I reassured. Felix offered me his hand and helped me up. Just then the bell rang.
"Where's your form class?" I asked.
"We're in RSA," Kayden said. I gasped in mock horror.
"What?" Felix asked.
"You betray me, you're in red house," I said.
"Hey," Shayla complained, she resided in Red house too.
"Well now that your betrayal has been done I will leave you with your fellow house member and sulk in room three," I said walking away.
"See you later Di!" Kayden called.
"Kay Kay, have fun in red house!" I called back.
"Oh they will!" Shayla called. I turned around and gave them a motherly look.
"Don't get too excited while I'm not there to supervise!" Shayla snorted and rolled her eyes. We laughed then went our separate ways. And thus another wonderful day begins. Such fun.
