Adopted By the Griers'

Chapter 4

BREE'S POV

I was getting ready to leave for the sleepover. I changed into sweats, boots, and a t-shirt then I packed everything I needed. Damnit! I forgot Carter asked me out for tonight. I guess it's fine though, I still didn't give him an answer so it's okay.. I think. I'll just text him when I'm on my way there.

"BREE ARE YOU READY?" I heard Nash yell from downstairs.

"YEAH IM COMING" I yell running down the stairs.

---15 minutes later at Taylor's house---

I walk up to Tay's doorstep and rung the doorbell and a couple seconds later the door swung open. "Hey Bree" she said with the biggest smile, "come in."

I waved bye to Nash since he was still outside and I walked into her house. Her wasn't that big, just an upstairs, main floor, and a basement. We went up to her room and I saw the other 2 girls already here. We all sat in a circle in the middle of her red marvel color carpet.

"Ok guys what do you want to do first? Play truth or dare or tell secrets?" Taylor asked.

"Tell secrets!!!!!" Maya and Nicole said at the same time. The three of them looked at me like I made the final decision. It didn't matter to me but either way telling secrets would be first. It would be 2 against 1 I thought.

I finally said, "tell secrets I guess, I didn't really matter to me."

"Okay. Each of us gets to ask each other 1 or 2 questions and we have to answer truthfully. Don't hold back ANY information. I'll go first." Tay said. "Bree, do you like Carter?"

I should've expected this question, she was still mad about earlier and she does like him. "No. I don't kno-"

Maya cut me off. "What do you mean you don't know? You either do or you don't." She said.

"Well he's sweet I guess but I don't think-" I was cut off again.

"You don't think he's your type?" Taylor asked.

"I don't have a type. But I don't think I like him like that." I said finally finishing my sentence.

It was Maya's turn to ask a question. She chose me too. She turned to me and said "so if you don't like Carter then who do you like?" Wow they just won't stay out of my love life will they?

"Well it's my first day, I still don't know anyone that well." I said.

"Well Jack G looked like he was into you. You should give him a chance you might like him." Nicole said.

"I don't know, we don't even know if he actually likes me yet. And Carter might feel betrayed beca-" I started.

"Why would Carter feel betrayed?" Tay blurted out.

"Because he likes me. He asked me out for tonight and I told him I would think about it." I said.

"And you said no? Why? Because of the sleepover? You could've skipped it." Maya said.

"Well I was still thinking about it since he asked me yesterday but then I forgot all about it and I remembered when I was on my way here and so I told him I couldn't go." I explained to them.

"Just to be clear Bree you don't like him?" Taylor asked.

"No. And I know you like him. If you want I can try to set you two up." I said.

"She doesn't like him. She would've told us. Right Tay?" Nicole said staring at her.

"I- yeah I like him. I have for a while now, I just never told you guys." Taylor said looking down.

My phone beeps. It's from my friends in Ontario.

"Who is it?" Maya asked.

It's my friends back at my old town.

I read my phone:

From: Jess😘💋
Hey bitch😘 thanks for the FaceTime call last night and all of the text messages. I miss you too.

From: Sam😍😍
Hey I miss you! Why haven't you called or texted? Are you having too much fun?

From: Danny😜😍
Wtf bitch! You haven't talked to me since you left. Update me on EVERYTHING happening in LA ASAP!!!

From: Mandy🌚💋
Hoe you haven't been in my messages since you left. Where you at?? Text me or call me!

"They just call you names like that? What kinda friends are they?" Taylor asked.

"That's what we do. Usually we say it everyday right when we see each other but our foster mother was always around so we had to wait a while." I explained to them.

"Your foster mother? Oh yeah, you were adopted. So all of your friends lived in that house with you?" Maya asked.

"Yeah. They were more like my sisters though." I said.

"Why were you put up for adoption?" Nicole asked me.

"My parents died in a car accident about 6 months ago. Ever since then I was in a foster home, until yesterday." I told them.

We finished telling secrets and finished playing truth or dare. It was really late so we watched Netflix until we all fell asleep.

---Tuesday morning---

We got dressed that morning and went to school. Same boring think like always. But the girls made class fun since they are in half of them. At lunch Nash and Hayes hugged me right when they saw me acting like their night was boring without me there. I laughed and hugged them back.
