The Adventures of Skittles

Chapter 10 - Celeste

And...

We're back! Sorry for not updating sooner, I was on the go doing things with my friends and family. So, yeah.

(Skit's outfit is attached along with the chapter's song)

Hey, what's up, you guys?!
(Very Connor Franta-ish.)

So, today or better yet, in this Chapter. I decided to do the most cliché thing ever. And that is: Have a Founders' Ball!

TVD fan: Pretty sure you got that idea from The Vampire Diaries.

Exactly! Hahaha! Anyways, this will be like a pre for the pre-Founders' Ball's thing. Basically, it's a pre pre-Founders' Ball thing. Does that make sense to you? I hope it does. Gaha! Let's start!

Chapter 10 - Celeste

"You know that you will eventually have to find a dress and a date, right, S?"

I don't know if I should kill Charlie for saying that or do what she says. I sighed over the phone.

"Don't you dare sigh on me, you ungrateful wench!"

I choked at that. "What the hell, Charles? Ungrateful wench? Since when did your vocabulary expanded?" I jokingly asked before adding "And I'm on my way to school. We could talk there. It'll be easier." I said.

"Ugh. Puh-lease, darling. We both know that my vocabulary is wider than yours."

I can practically see the way she rolled her eyes while sporting a smug smirk as she said that. "Whatever you say, Charlie. I'm hanging up." I stated.

"Bye! See you later."

A smile made it's way to my lips. I continued my path towards our school, wearing it very brightly.

The thing about Charlie is that she's so happy, all the time, it's almost unbelievable and sometimes I don't buy it and think that it's just a facade that she puts every-single-day.

Reader: Have you ever thought that maybe you're right? That maybe it's just a facade?

Of course, I did, Reader. Not everyone can be that happy.

The thing about her is that she hides it well, even from me, her ultimate, super best friend in the whole world. It's just her to bottle everything up.

"Fancy seeing you here, Mon Amour." A playful voice said making me turn. "You know, from what I can remember, you're American not British or French." I countered as my smile widened into a full blown grin. Cloud smirked before slinging his arm around my shoulders. "Well, as an American, I think that it's my right to do as I please whether it be to speak like a British or to use French." He said. I laughed as I leaned into him.

Yup, Cloud and I became close, for some unknown reason. I can't even remember how or why. We just clicked.

"If you don't mind me asking -" "I do mind." Once again, I saw his smug smirk. I rolled my eyes before slapping his chest. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, why are you walking? You have a car." I pointed out as we continued to walk side by side. "Because I want to spend time with you, duh." He said it as if it was the most common and obvious thing to hear. "And why is that?" I asked again "Just because." Was his answer.

I honestly couldn't prevent the smile that made it's way to my lips.

Cloud and I, we're complicated - or at least, I think we are. We act like a couple but we're not. We hug each other, affectionately, hold hands, wrap each other's arm around the other's waist, laugh together, do stuff together, and just spend time with each other like it's our last. I don't want to be the girl who assumes that all of this - whatever this is - means we're something and I also do not want to be the girl who asks what this is.

Reader: Maybe you should tell them what happened in order for them to understand.

Why is Reader being so helpful today? But anyways, let's back up a little bit. It all happened 10 days ago.

10 Days Ago (aka the night that Seb bailed out on Skittles)

-

Just to clear things up a little bit, Chapter 9 happened the morning after Skit's flashbacks and Seb's talk with his Dad.

-

I went downstairs when I heard the doorbell ringing. I didn't order anything so it couldn't be delivery service and it also couldn't be Mom and Dad since they told me that the won't be going home.

My guess is that they're gonna do the naughty, so...

But back to the topic at hand. Who could that be? A small voice in head said that maybe it's Seb - and it certainly wasn't Reader, just so you know - but I shrugged it off. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw once 2 bags of McDonald's and a grocery bag being held in front of the person's face.

"Who are you...?" I trailed off as I was clueless. The bag was brought down and to my surprise it was Cloud. "Wouldn't you like to you know?" He sarcastically asked with a smirk as he pushed pass me, entering my house as he did. "Please, do come in." Was my sarcastic reply before closing the door. I heard him chuckle as he walked towards the living room with me trudging behind.

I watched as he sat in the couch and opened the TV, going on to Netflix and finding something to watch. This guy is something, alright. "Wow, please, make yourself at home." And again, sarcasm dripped down my voice as I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "You should stop being a sarcastic bitch, you know." He said in a nonchalant way making smoke come out of my ears and my nose to flare.

"Sarcastic bitch? Sarcastic bitch! You come into my house and pull this shit on so don't blame me for being a sarcastic bitch!" I yelled. He turned to look at me. "You done letting out your frustration? I'd really like to watch Guardians of the Galaxy." He said as he smiled at me. I took a step back, stunned at what he did. "Did you intend for that to happen?" I asked. He returned his gaze to the bags and started unpacking it. "I overheard you telling Charlie that you and Seb are going out to watch a movie tonight but I saw him at a party with some chick. I figured that he bailed out on you so I went here and brought food." He answered "You know, to cheer you up." He added.

After that, I hugged him and said thank you. We got comfortable with each other. It was so thoughtful of him to do that. I was extremely touched by what he did. I guess that's how I became comfortable with him touching me because we cuddled while watching that movie. He was so sweet to me. "Hey Cloud." I whispered as I stopped to look at him. "Yeah?" He asked.

"Would you like to be my date for the Founders' Ball?"

-

Cloud is on the move, people!

I'm really sorry for the long wait. Peace.
