Living With The Bad Boy

66) You Can't Be Cocky About Your Ego

"Hello Lena," James awkwardly said as she came down to the breakfast table. She gave him a small smile and pulled up a chair. We always have extra because our friends live here more than we do.

Luke and Bethany exchanged glances and looked at her, debating on whether or not they should say something. Too bad Nana had to drop Andrew off to school, she knows how to make people comfortable.

"Is your mother living at the house alone?" he asked her, taking a bite out of his egg sandwich. Everyone else had Bethany cook a giant stack of pancakes for them.

"No, she has a couple friends over," she answered. "Katerina moved out of the house and she doesn't want to live there alone."

"Katerina?" Bethany asked in confusion. "Oh, Katherine, yeah I don't like her. Why's she moving out again? I thought they got along."

"They don't get along anymore," Lena shrugged. "She wants to move back to her parents house." I wanted to add the fact that she's planning on doing something with Josh but didn't want to make anyone puke so I didn't say anything.

"Finally," Luke exhaled. "I don't know how long I had to see her face."

"She's expelled you dimwit," I rolled my eyes, pointing towards my broken leg.

"Yeah but we live in the same town and I see her with Elisa a lot," he pointed out.

"And now you don't," Sam shrugged. "Don't you guys have to get to school?"

"Don't you?" Beth shot back, unhappy that we have a study hall and she doesn't. It's too bad that she has to take Gym and a couple Electives. I didn't have to take any this semester so ha.

"I have a free period," I reminded her. "I don't need to go anywhere."

"Why can't I stay here?" she groaned. "I hate my Drawing class. No actually, I don't. I love drawing, I just don't like my teacher."

"Then switch classes," Sam shrugged. "I did it whenever I wanted to."

"You what?" James asked in confusion.

"Yeah, they listen to me," he shrugged.

"But I don't want to switch classes," she whined. "I have friends in that class."

"You have friends in every class," I rolled my eyes. Yes, I was aware of the fact that my little sister was more social than me. It's not exactly my fault that I dislike communicating with many people. I liked keeping my circle small.

"But my favorite friends are in that class," she huffed.

"Then deal with it until you're done with school," I grinned, happy that I was a senior and not a freshman anymore. Or even a sophomore. AP U.S. History is the worst of the worst and I was more than happy to forget all of that.

"Fine," she grumbled, washing her plate off. "Luke, drive me to school."

"Can't you get a ride from Ace?" he grumbled, stretching and flexing his muscles. I wanted to puke.

"We're going to the same place," she rolled her eyes. "Lena, are you coming?" My eyebrows shot up into the sky at that. She wasn't exactly a big fan of Lena ever since she changed.

"Um, yeah," she nodded, clearing her plate as well and following them. James nodded us a bye and left for work as well, leaving Sam and I at the table. Alone.

"We should skip school today," Sam suggested, giving me a mischievous grin while making a couple more pancakes for ourselves and adding syrup.

"Why?" I asked, actually wanting to skip school for once. There weren't any tests for once so there really wasn't any point in going. I could just get notes from someone later.
