We arrived home, with Hale checking his phone every two seconds. Idiot thinks the manager will go out with him. Hale has always been that guy that's went out with so many people, it's funny. I swear he even went out with the librarian.
"Oh my God Hale, you think she'll call back?" Giggled Chloe. Chloe and Hale began going into a fit of laughter, me just sitting on my desk, trying to concentrate so I can study, for that huge test for university, did I mention? "Hey could you guys knock it off, I'm trying to learn something here." I frowned throwing a scrunched up piece of paper. Earning a pillow being hurdled at me. "Oh haha, Hale, nice one!" I smiled sarcastically.
"Why do you study all the time anyway? I mean, we all want good grades, but seriously, you need to loosen up." Explained Chloe while chewing Haribos. "She's right, come on, stop studying and come watch some fail videos." Suggested my brother, trying to look like a 'good' brother in front of Chloe.
Since he's had the biggest crush on her. They try'd going out one time, which by the way I almost killed myself over, and yeah it didn't work, my brothers just weird. Don't think my brother ever stops flirting with her, whatever chance he gets. Chloe kinda just blocks it out since she's used to it.
One time it was movie night and he insisted on sharing a blanket with Chloe, because all the other blankets 'mysteriously' were thrown into the bin. Unbelievable he is.
"I kinda NEED to study." I protested, but failing. "Come on, for me." Chloe pouted, winking her eye. That was her code for 'come and part your brother from me because it's getting weird'. "fineeee." I whined while dragging my feet along the wooden floor. I plummeted onto the bed forcing myself between Chloe and Hale. Coughing awkwardly, I grinned at my brother, since he failed getting any close to her. HA.
After five million complications of fail video's and my last laughter it was midnight, why is my brother still here? "Hale, leave my room, you're my brother not my friend." I muttered, little harsh much? "Rude." He snickered. Dude! Are you serious you're just trying to get to my friend. I looked at him and at the door signalling for him to leave.
He bowed his head down and waved at Chloe throwing a wink at her and licking his lips. I threw a pillow at him in sync with Chloe. "Get out!" We both laughed.
When he left we jut kept laughing. What I loved about Chloe and I's friendship, is that even though at the shop today when we got caught, my insides twisted in knots, she can lift that off me and make me laugh. Being friends from birth has its perks.
"So what knew with you?" I asked her, grabbing a fist full of Haribo's and stuffing it in my mouth. "Well my mums relatives are moving here actually from California, soon I dunno when." She said shrugging her shoulders. "Cool, they have any kids our age?" I asked. "Well they have a boy Mason, but no more , because my uncles wife couldn't have kids after Mason, so they are like super protective." She breathed. "Aw that's so sad." I frowned.
"Yeah he'll be nearly finishing college like your brother, he's cool though."She sighed. "He's not your type don't worry, he's a complete jock, gym every morning, yep." She added winking at me. "Thank God, I don't need any distractions, these tests are my gateway to heaven." I huffed in relief. "Damn girl you need to stop hitting the books and start going out a bit more!" Giggled Chloe. I rolled my eyes.
*******************
Chloe decided to sleep over. We slept on the sofa's because, beds are mainstream. The light shimmered through the brown curtains, giving the living room a chocolate tint to it. I swiped the sweat off of my forehead. God its boiling in here!
I lifted my head up, and glanced at the other sofa and saw Chloe sleeping, practically eating her hair. Ew. After a yawn, I launched myself off the sofa, to the kitchen. I dragged myself to the kitchen, the cold wooden floor, punching my feet. I itched my eye and reached to open the fridge.
"Cereal sounds nice." Giggled my inner thoughts.
I grabbed the milk and closed the fridge. Big mistake...
"Um hello."
My ears perked up at the alien voice I just met. I shot my head behind and saw a boy. He was muscular. He had brown hair that was windswept, with brown eyes, looking like thick melted chocolate swirling around them.
Wait there's a person in my house. INTRUDER!!!
I dug my hand to the counter and retrieved a kitchen knife. I pointed at him and I felt like my insides were churning. "Whoa, calm down there, I'm jus-" His voice, there it was again.
"Stop who are you!" I furrowed my eyebrows, with no fear. See, I prepare for this sort of stuff. Step 1 : Knife, Step 2: Threaten, Step 3: Call police. Simple.
I pointed the knife closer. Oh my God this is happening. A stranger is in my house, who is going to kidnap me and sell me to the mafia, and then I'll never see my family, hey I hate my brother but maybe I'd miss him too, right? I am to younggggg.
"Calm down, damn-" He try'd to finish, but no. "What the fuck are you doing in my house? Who are you? What do you want? What drives a man to commit crime?" I stuttered, but he shh'd me with his finger. "Hey ok, no more questions paparazzi." He joked. Hes trying to manipulate me! By being all friendly, you know most rapists are extremely 'friendly.' And 97 out of 100 rapists receive no punishment!
"You know what fuck this." He shrugged. I twitched from every movement he made, he reached his hand behind me and grabbed an orange. "Thanks." He said winking at me and began running into the darkness, and out of my house, and out off my vision.
"What the fuck?" I muttered under my breath. I looked to my right and Chloe was standing there like she was lifeless. "Did you see that!" I stressed. She looked unfazed, nothing no emotion like this is normal, for someone to enter your house and take a orange. "Yep." She smiled blankly. I looked at her dumbfounded.
"A stranger, entered my house." I stated slowly for her to understand. "Oh sorry man, I forgot to tell you, yeah you know that cousin that is moving here, yeah, sometimes he tends to er.... get into houses, but don't worry he's not crazy or anything. He's just um... weird." She added. What the fuck? How did he get in?
"Do I tell my parents, police or-" I mumbled but she stopped me. "No, he's just 'adventurous', trust me it won't happen again, plus I never knew he was going to come today!" She explained. I huffed and looked outside the window and saw, they were moving next to me. Great. A fucking loony is next door to me. "Well they're my neighbors now." I shrugged.
"Morning girls!" Shouted my mum behind us, making me jump out of my skeleton. "Jesus mum you scared us!" I laughed. "Sorry, girls did you sleep well?" She asked kindly. "Yes it was fine Mrs Vendon." Smiled Chloe.
"Did you see, we have new neighbors!" Mum cheered. "Oh yeah, we heard mum, trust me." I said knowingly, smiling at Chloe. "Well why don't we stay hi to them." Mum suggested. "Oh mum please no, Chloe and I'll be fine-" I frowned but was stopped by Chloe. "No its fine Mrs.Vendon, I'm sure me and Sienna would love that!" She smiled obviously, she knew I didn't want to see that guy again.
"Ok get dressed you too and we'll go." Mum grinned.
Yay, lets meet the loony.
