My eyes opened and I was blinded by the light seeping in from the window. I was on Ezra's bed.
WAIT
I'M ON EZRA'S BED!
"Wha- ouch" I felt a hard pain in my head. I tried reaching my arm to my head, but it was caught between two other big arms.
I looked down and saw I was pushed up against Ezra's chest back facing him.
"HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS" I screamed in my head.
I slowly moved Ezra's hand and he stirred in his sleep. I set his hand on his side and he rolled over, almost taking me with him.
I slowly moved off his bed and checked the time.
"11:30!!!" I shouted, covering my mouth right afterwards.
I looked over to Ezra to see he had not even moved a muscle. I let out a relieved sigh and slowly walked to his restroom.
I looked in the mirror quietly moving my shirt onto my shoulder because it had fallen off again.
I grabbed my light blue toothbrush and my mint flavored toothpaste and squeezed it onto my tooth brush. I brushed my teeth and put my toothbrush away.
"Geez my hair is a mess." I said out loud as I grabbed my hairbrush. I brushed my hair off to the side.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed. I looked at the horrific scene that was my neck.
I had either a horrible burn or a horrendous HICKEY!
"EZRA!" I stormed out of the bathroom, tripped over a pillow on the floor, and landed hard on the bed.
"That was quite the show you put on." Ezra said amused. He was leaning on the door frame and had a breakfast tray in his hand.
"Thanks, now question.. WHAT IS THIS!" I pulled my hair to the side and showed him the mark.
His face froze and the tray of delicious berries and crackers fell.
"UH- uhm, I-" He suddenly looked for answers, however I was getting really impatient.
"Last night, we, erm- played Dare or drink and- I- uhm.... Dared you to curl your hair and you burned yourself! HAHAHA, how funny, right!" He said, looking away.
"Ok, whatever you say." I said walking out of the room to go and get an ice pack. I knew he was lying. I could see it in his face.
I walked out the door and went to Everleighs room where I was greeted with a loving golden doodle.
"Hi pretty girl!" I pet my best friend's dog named Princess. She ran towards Everleighs bed and pounced on Everleigh who was engrossed in her ipad.
When Princess pounced on her, Everleigh jumped. She looked up and noticed me. She quickly turned off her Ipad and ran up to me.
"ELEANORE!!!" She gave me a big bear hug, almost crushing my insides.
"Hey Evi, how are you?" I returned the hug.
I pulled away, "Hey do you have any makeup. I need to cover up this burn." I pulled away my hair and showed her the burn.
She slightly gasped, "So that's what you guys were doing," in a hushed voice.
"Excuse me?" I questioned.
"Oh! It's nothing. Haha. Let's go get you that makeup." She shrugged it off and walked towards her restroom.
I followed suit and looked around her room. I hadn't noticed how much it changed since I last came up to see her. Her room now had a new desk near her window with a laptop where I assume she draws. Her walls were also painted a new sky blue with pictures of her and her friends.
I came to a stop when I looked at a particular picture. I walked over to it, it was a picture of me, Ezra and Everleigh, me and Ezra were freshmen in high school and Everleigh was in 7th grade.
"That was soo long ago. I was in 6th-7th grade i dont know." I felt Everleighs hand touch my shoulder.
"Yah it was.. Anyway Let's get that makeup." I walked over to her bathroom and she tagged along.
"My makeup should be right here" she pulled out a light pink bag with blue designs. Her hand searched the bag and she finally pulled out a small vial of foundation and concealer.
"We have similar enough colors for it to pass off." She said as she held up the color to my skin.
She gently applied the makeup to my skin and I winced because it was so sensitive.
Once she was done I moved my hair out of the way to check and see how it looked. Since she was a little paler than me, you could notice it was makeup but I could always cover it with my hair.
I thanked Everleigh and hugged her goodbye.
I walked back over to Ezra's room to find him sitting on his bed eating a charcuterie board with lots of berries, waffles, and some whipped cream and syrup on the side.
I guess I was staring because Ezra soon looked up.
"So are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna come and eat." Ezra looked at me and motioned to a seat in front of him.
"Oh yah." I answered and shuffled over to my seat.
I sat down and picked up a waffle and scarfed it down.
Me and Ezra sat in an uncomfortable silence because I just knew he wasn't telling me something. I look at his face and I can just tell he's guilty.
Once the board was empty he picked it up and quickly bolted out the door.
Yah he's definitely hiding something.
