"I hope you both remember that the dance rehearsal is tomorrow." Susannah says.
"We do remember it." me and Isa say it together.
"Did you both find your dates for the ball?" Susannah asks.
"I will ask Cam today." Isa replies.
"I haven't thought about it yet." I say while smiling nervously.
"If you haven't found one..then Steven can take you." Laurel suggests.
"Definitely not!" me and Steven say in unison.
"I am taking Shayla anyways." Steven says.
Laurel stares at him.
"What?...Shayla and her friends are coming today." Steven continues.
"Are you wearing makeup,mom?" Isa asks.
"Oh yes..she is." Steven says while taking a closer look at Laurel.
"Does it have to do something with John coming here?" Susannah teases Laurel.
"Absolutely not..and I hope you guys remember Victoria's coming as well." Laurel says.
Steven makes a disgusted face.
"Oh..I forgot to tell but your dad won't be coming this year he's stuck in some office work." Susannah says.

Jeremiah's smile dropped from his face,"What..but I wanted to show him the fireworks!" while Conrad's expression remained neutral.
"Sweetheart can you please arrange the guest bedroom?" Laurel turns to me.
"Of course." I nod

I stretched the sheet over the mattress and then began tucking the edge of the sheet under the foot of the mattress.
"You gotta fold the bottom sheet at a 45° if you want tight corners." I turn my head and see Conrad leaning on the door with his arms crossed.
"Yeah not like that." He walks over to the bed.
"Help me, then." I shrug.
"You gotta pull it like this." He says while tucking the sheet under the mattress.
"Like this..come here." he continues.
I move a little closer to him and he continues with the work. I remember how he wanted to talk to me about something since we are in Cousins but after we fought with that night. I just couldn't plunge up the courage to talk to him again.
"See..it's done." his voice brings me out of my thoughts.
"Thanks..it's kinda weird that my Uncle and his girlfriend Victoria will be staying here..I mean my room is right beside this room and Isa was already complaining about this."
"I'm sure they're not going to have loud sex."
"Oh that's foul!"
"What if what Isa said turns out to be really true that..that Victoria is a bitch." I add.
"What if she's like a really nice person or something?"
"Isa always states facts..you know the other day..." I stop in between.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" I ask.
"Those earrings look ugly on you." He says.
"So you saw."
"I am just stating the facts."
"I..I like them."
He was about to say something but was interrupted by Laurel's voice,"Evei honey..come downstairs!"
"The bitch's here." he murmurs.

Isa was curiously watching Victoria who was busy preparing Margaritas.
"I guess she turned out to be nice." I whisper in Isa's ear.
She just nods without paying attention to me.
"If you don't mind, can I try as well?" Isa asks.
"Your parents wouldn't mind that, right?" Victoria asks.
"Yeah..yeah..no problem."
She hands one of the margarita cup to Isa and goes outside.
Isa drinks the margarita and her expression stays neutral.
"I know what to do with this." she laughs.

She starts pouring pomegranate juice,lime juice and her favorite Cherry Kool-Aid with some tequila.
"Add some more tequila,Belly." Jeremiah says.
"Nope..we might end up in trouble guys." I reprehend.
"No one will find out." Conrad says.
"Stop worrying so much." Isa winks at me and adds more tequila in the blender.
They all started laughing and my eyes fell onto the person standing right behind Conrad. It was Adam fisher.

Shayla and Nicole have already arrived and I spot Isa sitting and chatting with them. She is super drunk right now.
"Evei..come here." Isa waves at me.
"Shit." I whisper to myself.

"Yeah coming." I say loudly and walk towards the three of them, I could make out Nicole was saying something.
I sit beside Isa.
"I don't even think he likes me." Nicole continues saying.
"He's hard to read sometimes..but let me tell you he's super into you.." Isa laughs.
"Really do you think so?" Nicole asks.
"Yeah..yeah totally..I see the way he looks at you." Isa says while looking at me.
Why'd you have to drink so much Isabel?

"Yeah..he even talks about you all the time." I put on a fake smile.
Cam approaches us,"You can sit here." I smile and I sit beside Shayla now.
"Hi..you may want to hydrate..water?" he says while offering her a water bottle.
"he's so sweet..isn't he?" Isa says while pulling his cheeks.
We all nod smiling at her.
"Belly, I love that dress by the way." Shayla says.
"Thank you..Taylor go..got it for me actually." Isa laughs.
"Taylor has great taste." Shayla smiles.
"Yeah..she totally does..you know what..you and Taylor are like twins because you both are mega fashiony and you both are like baddies..and you both like the same summer boy." Isa laughs.
This conversation won't end good.
"we do?" Shayla asks.
"Isa..I umm..wanted to make some more of these margaritas can you please help me?" I say while smiling and signal at Cam for help.
"You know the recipe, Evei." Isa laughs.
"how about we go for a walk?" Cam says while grabbing Isa's hand.
"no..no I'm talking..Shayla it didn't mean anything..okay you don't need to worry..my brother is an idiot." Isa continues.
Isa please stop for god's sake.
"let's go." Cam tries to pull Isa away.
"what didn't mean anything?" Shayla asks.
"oh..them kissing..but he loves you..like he really loves you." she continues speaking while Cam takes her away.
"I'll be back in a second." I say.
I leave from there and I notice how annoyed and frustrated Conrad looks since his dad is here now. He had a complex relationship with his dad he never talked to him that much neither did his dad show affection towards him, I noticed Susannah was also not conversing with Adam that much.
"Boo." Isa laughs.
"That was not so funny, Isa." I say.
"You know Cameron told me to sober up..I am already sober enough ain't I?"
"Nope..and don't you dare drink this much again."
"Do you realize what have you even done?" I continue.
"What?" she laughs.
"Nevermind...you won't even understand it right now."
"Oh..you know..I found something in Conrad's room this morning while searching for the car keys." She giggles.
"What?"
"An infinity necklace..I swear he..he..bought that for you..he's in love with you..not with that red sox...."
"Okay..Okay I get you Isa." I interrupt her before she further says something.

Okay..everything on one side and Cam on one side..like he's literally so sweet!!
I am officially Team Cam;)

Hope you all have a good day;)
I love you all!!!!!
