Chasing Fintry

Chapter 32- play nice

I groggily headed down to the kitchen the next morning. I ended up skyping for like six hours with Bailey, Ashton, and Wyatt. Elliot had apparently stayed up in his room since I left. Wyatt was gonna try and talk to Elliot and explain that picture. I grabbed the carton of eggs once I got down stairs to the kitchen. I set them on the counter and grabbed a bowl and a frying pan. I turned on the stove and cracked two eggs and mixed them up. I poured them into the pan and waited on the eggs to cook so I could flip them. Once they were ready I added cheese to the eggs and folded it in half making an omelet. I grabbed a glass of orange juice and sat down alone since mom and dad left for Paris last night.

I heard someone behind me I turned around and held my fork up as a weapon. I set it down as a big grin spread across my face as I saw who it was. "Sam." I said standing up wrapping my arms around him. "Hey baby sis." He said hugging me back. "I missed you so much." I said sitting back down. "Yeah, how have you been?" He asked taking a seat beside me. I let out a sigh. "That great huh?" He said stealing some of my breakfast. "When did you get out?" I asked him. "Yesterday, good behavior. What about you? When did you get in town? Knowing you, you would be at the beach with Bailey right now." I took a sip of my orange juice and told him everything that had happened since last summer. He let out a dry laugh. "Carter just can't stop can he." Sam said clenching his fist. "look don't worry I got a restraining order and the thing with Elliot will be fine I hope, if not it was good while it lasted." I said letting a small sigh leave my lips.

"Well how about we spend the day together and catch up. I can invite some of the boys over and it will be like old times." I nodded with a smile. I missed his friends they were all really nice to me and treated me like their little sister. I saw Sam start typing on his phone. "Ok the boys should be here in about thirty minutes." I nodded. "I'll order the pizza." I said and grabbed my phone. "I'll set up the movie room." Sam said starting down stairs. After I order the pizza I went up stairs to shower and change. After I showered I put on a tank top and jean shorts. I dried my hair and pulled my bangs back into a side french braid. I heard the door bell ring and I went down stairs with money in hand to grab the pizza. I grabbed the four large pizzas from the guy and gave him the money. I went to the movie room and sat the pizzas on the bar.

It should be enough for the six of us. There would be me, Sam, Greg, Dylan, Nick, and Austin. I remembered when I was younger I used to have the biggest crush on Austin, like it was embarrassing. I was over him now which was good, because I mean he's my older brother's best friend. I heard the doorbell ring and I practically ran to see the boys it had been like two years. I opened the door and saw them standing there. It dawned on me they hadn't seen me since I changed my look. "F-Fintry?" Stuttered Nick. I nodded and smiled. "Holy crap you've changed so much." Dylan exclaimed. "Yeah I have." I said with a small giggle. "Your like so much hotter now like your smoking." Said Greg, he had always been a flirt. I blushed a little and heard Sam speak up. "Guys stop that's my sister, the same girl you grew up with." He whined. "Bro your sister is hotter than Ashley and that's saying a lot because she was the hottest girl in our grade." Greg replied. I shook my head and let the boys in.

Austin was the last one in and he just stood there. "Hey." He said hugging me. "Hey." I replied wrapping my arms around his neck. "How have you been? You look great. I mean you always looked great. You know I'm gonna shut up now." I giggled at his rambling. "I've been better, just had a bad break up thanks to Carter." I said bitterly. "Well that guy is stupid." He said looking me up and down. I shrugged. "Not really, I mean my whole life is probably gonna revolve around Carter, he always has to get his way." I said with a small sigh. "Well if you were my girl I'd never let you go, I know what games Carter plays and you don't deserve that." He said moving a strand of hair behind my shoulder. Here stood the boy I had my first crush on telling me he'd never let me go. I should be happy right? Honestly I wasn't that happy. I heard my phone ping and I saw Elliot's name. "He's the guy isn't he?" Austin said when I looked down at my phone. He gently grabbed my phone and sat it on the table by our front door, "Don't worry about him today just have fun, with me- I mean us." He said blushing I laughed and closed the front door. Austin followed me to the movie room. "Took you guys long enough, what were you doing making out?" Dylan said. I rolled my eyes. "I may be hotter than Ashley but doesn't mean I'm as slutty as her." I heard the guys yell a mix of 'burn' and 'ohh'. I grabbed some pizza and sat down. I was in the back row with Austin. We were gonna watch Napoleon Dynamite, I ate my pizza as the movie started. I bust out laugh and the Tina part. That was my favorite part of the movie. I sat my hand on the arm rest me and Austin shared and pulled my knees up in the seat.
