chasing after him[VEGASPETE]

chapter 5 - vegas

pete has not replied to me since well.. the day i gave him a ride.

i remember his grumbling stomach and snicker to myself.

"have you finally gone mental?" kin, my dear cousin asks.

i roll my eyes at him.

"can you mind your own business?" i say looking at kinn

"what, or 'who' has gotten you so grumpy?" suddenly porsche walks in, sitting beside kinn .

before i could say anything porsche continues "or... is it pete?" he says with a hint of mockery .

"phi. " i glare at porsche.

"hey i didnt even say anything" porsche says, raising both his hands in the air .

but i can see that smirk lingering on his face .

"ughh he hasn't reached out to me at all since that day! didn't even reply to my 'goodmorning' text which i sent 3 days ago!" i lightly yell, covering my face with frustration .

"calm down vegas. maybe he's just busy right now" kinn says, patting my back.

thats it.

he must be busy.

"hmm.. you're right phi" i say looking up.

"thats right. rights why you should just stay calm and wait-" "thats why i should go visit him myself!" i yell proudly .

"sorry, were you saying something kinn?" i apologize for cutting him off and ask what he was saying.

"....nevermind." he sighs.

weirdo .

anyways tomorrow is a weekday, he must have classes i will just try to act like i mistakenly met him! 

you're such a genius vegas . i smile to myself .

--------------------------

(NEXT DAY)

*CREAAKK*

i hear the door behind me open.

and a shadow coming out.

that person stopped in their tracks.

now its time vegas.

i slowly turn around and act out a surprised facial expression.

"oh my phi! what a coincidence! what are you doing here?"

he stares at me confused for a hot second .

"vegath..i live here. you literally dropped me off here last time? " pete speaks in a confused tone . 

"oh really!? what a coincidence! i didn't remeber it at all!" i say in a little too over exaggerated tone.

pete looks at me skeptically.

"uhm.. ok?" pete, who still looks confused, closes the door behind him and starts walking past me .

"oh phi wait!" i grab his hands .

pete turns around and looks at me weirdly .

oh shit what now?

"you... you have a bed head" i say pointing to his hair.

a lie. i didn't know what else to say, so i just spit whatever came first into my mind.
