Hate Me Harder [BxB] ✔️ [NOT EDITED]

(8) Hate the space he takes

I'd like to point out that in this chapter, there's mentioning of the movie 'Train to Busan'. Awesome movie BTW. If you haven't watched, I highly recommend you to watch it and come back but if you don't care, then continue doing so.

"What are you doing?"

I watched Katie clean the living room, placing the throw pillow on each corner perfectly. She was perfectly find till lunch. After mum took grandma May to the doctors, she suddenly started sweeping, vacuuming and dusting the windows.

She was acting weird.

"What does it look like dummy? I'm cleaning."

"I meant, why, for what?"

She continued to dust the dust that I honestly couldn't see with my name eyes, before stretching. "I'm having a movie night with friends."

"Mum was okay with this?" She would be okay with it, but grandma May was home, which meant that we had to be careful with whatever we do. We couldn't make her feel uncomfortable.

"Yeah, we won't be leaving this room for the rest of the day. Plus, it's only a few. It's been so long since I invited them over. You can join if you want."

I was surprised for a second. Katie never lets me be in the same room as her friends. It was because they were all the same grade and I'd start flirting with one of them. "Really?!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself. You have to order the pizza and make the popcorn."

I nodded, not caring. I wasn't going to do anything extra anyways. "Can I invite Drake too?"

She nodded so easily and I was starting to doubt her. There was no way I was going to let her push me over after the girls come. 

Either way, I texted Drake and then called for pizza. Ordering everything Katie wrote down, I made sure to remind them to deliver at seven. Then I realized that she expected me to pay, that sneaky Baker.

I did what I promised, popping the popcorn in the microwave, protecting them from dad who came down out of his office room all of a sudden.

I managed to shoo him back with a bowl of popcorn, reminding him not to come out until mum and grandma May are home. Drake came fast, taking the popcorn as soon as he saw it.

We sat on the couch, ignoring Katie's whine when she wanted us on the floor. Then, Mason came.

"What are you doing here?"

He gave me a weird look. "Actually, this time, I get to ask that question. Are you guys joining in for the movie?"

I only stared at him. "Katie! What's your boyfriend doing here?!"

Mason scoffed, taking a seat next to me. "Dude, we do play in the same team. We are friends you know."

I thought about it. Friends with him meant being friends with Max. "Yeah, no."

"Harsh."

Katie came down after, wearing a pair of jeans and a top, phone in hand. "Hey babe." She kissed him before settling down. Drake gave me a look. He was obviously annoyed that I invited him to third wheel together. "He's here Alan because I told him to. I'm having a movie night with him."

"You mention the word 'friends'."

"Yeah, Mason's friends. They'd be here soon."

My jaw dropped.

"You didn't actually think that I'll let you be int he same rooms my girl friends, did you?" She shook her head in disappointment. She seemed to do that a lot recently.
