"So since we've both read Carrie, how about watching it?" I smile looking at Stu. "I'm sick of hearing about Carrie. Let's watch.." he thinks for a second. "Risky business." He smirks. "Piss off Stuart." I shake my head laughing.
"Pleaseee, it's a good movie." He nags. "And very sexual." I add. He just looks at me. "Fine. You always convince me somehow." I lay down.
-
About thirty minutes into the movie, Stu's house phone rings. "I'll go get it, you carry on watching the movie." I get up.
"Hello?" I say.
"Annie, it's Tatum! She's dead!" Sidney says from the other side crying.
"What?! I'll go tell Stu." I say, putting down the phone, but not hanging up.
"Stu!" I scream his name running upstairs. He comes running out of his room. "What? Is everything ok?" He grabs my shoulders. "Tatum's dead!" I say panicking. "What." He says, not really that sad.
"Don't panic, Belle. It's ok." He comforts me. He's always called me Belle. He doesn't like anyone else calling me that.
"Stu your girlfriend is dead! Your not even sad." I pull away from the hug. "No no, i am." He pulls me back into another hug.
We both go back downstairs, and Sidney hung up. I call my parents to let them know I'm over Stu's.
"Hey mom, I'm staying over Stu's tonight, I'll be over soon-" I get cut off.
"No! Didn't you hear? Tatum Riley was found dead! You are not walking around by yourself this late! Your father will bring some clothes to you. Stay with Stu, Annabelle." She says, very seriously.
"Ok, bye mom." I hang up.
"My dad is coming here to give me clothes. They're scared of me walking on my own after Tatum was found dead." I explain. "Whoever killed Tatum, I'd doubt they would kill you. Your too pretty." Stu says. I turn around to look at him. "Shut up." I shake my head.
"I'm serious! Let's order food. Pizza?" He suggests. "Yeah." I say, grabbing two cups and filling them with water.
-
Twenty minutes later, there's a knock at the door. "It's probably pizza. Give me the money, you'll steal it." I say to Stu. He hands me the money.
I walk downstairs, and open the door, but it's not the pizza guy. It's Billy. "Billy? What's wrong? I thought you had an assignment for science class?" I ask him confused. "Nah, not doing it." He says. "Stu?" He looks at me.
"Upstairs, just ordered pizza. Want some when it comes?" I ask. "Yeah sure." He runs up the stairs. I follow behind him.
"Finally, god." I hear Stu say, as I'm about to enter his room. "Finally what?" I ask. "Nothing." Billy shakes his head.
-
"I gotta go. Thanks for the pizza! See you tomorrow." Billy's says, grabbing his jacket.
We hear the door close, and Stu turns to me. "So now that Billy's gone.." he trails off. "No, Stu." He sighs, rolling his eyes playfully.
