Living With Him ( Unexpected Match #2 ) UNDER EDITING

Chapter Thirteen: Quadruple Date

Anna's P.O.V.

"What does it look like Lila? I've moved out" I snapped at her, regretting my tone when her face fell. "I'm sorry" I apologised sheepishly "it's just, he just gets on my last nerve as it is and now..." I trailed off, and she gave a small understanding smile, taking my sleeping bag off me and laying it out on the floor. "I get it Anna, and I would love to stay up and chat but I have a giant test tomorrow so..." she trailed off and I nodded with a shrug as I settled down on the floor, and began to slip into the sleeping bag. "Oh, you don't have to sleep on the floor" Lila offered, "I mean, I have a double bed..." I grinned up at her gratefully, thankful that I wouldn't have to wake up in the morning with an uncomfortable kink in my neck. Taking her hand, she helped me up, and I followed her into the bedroom, slipping under the sheets with a content sigh, and I rubbed my legs up and down under the warm duvet as Lila slipped in beside me.

Whatever I have ever said about Blake being the worst roommate ever, or Beth being the most difficult person to ever sleep near, I take it ALL back. Lila is such a restless sleeper, all night, her legs have been flailing, her toenails scratching against my legs, her arms whacking me in the face, and her whole body on top of mine every time she rolls over.

This is a nightmare I groaned to myself as she flipped over again, her arms and legs flailing on top of me. I shuffled away, out of her reach, but accidentally went too far and banged onto the floor with a thud. "Ouch" I complained as I stood up, and rubbed my bruised bum in what might not have been considered the most ladylike technique.

My eyelids drooping, and my body drunk with fatigue, I walked half asleep to the main room, where my sleeping bag was still laid out. Better to get a kink in my neck than heavy loads of bags under my eyes. I slipped into the shimmery fabric and snuggled deeply into it, immediately dropping asleep.

"Anna. Anna wake up", a pair of hands shook my shoulders gently before a girly voice screamed in my ear "ANNA". I woke with a start, and sat straight up in the sleeping bag, and Lila gave a satisfied grin as she stood up and skipped to the kitchen. "You want some coffee?" she yelled and I yelled aback in confirmation, pulling myself into a stance and rotating my neck, cringing at the multiple clicks that emitted from it.

"So how come you're in here anyway?" Lila asked as she walked through into the room, a steaming mug in each hand. I raised my eyebrows and stifled a laugh "do you know how restless you are when you sleep, it's a nightmare!" she laughed sheepishly as she handed me one of the mugs, and I rolled my eyes, taking a sip.

"Lila, hurry up, I was ready ten minutes ago, what's taking so long?" There was a loud bang, and an ouch, before Lila hopped into view, clutching her toe and mouthing 'ouch' under her breath over and over. It was only after she'd somewhat straightened up, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, that I noticed her appearance. "Woah, Lila, who's the lucky guy you're trying to impress?" I asked, bouncing my eyebrows at her and grinning when she blushed. "No one" she stuttered, and fake scoffed, blushing deeper at my grin. "Yeah, yeah sure" I nodded, and rolled my eyes again as I turned around, and walked out of the door.

"and so here we have to think deeper, we have to go into the implication, the connotation, not just the denotation..." as the teacher droned on, my thoughts tuned out, and my hearing latched on to Blake, who was talking to that slut from a few weeks back. Ashlay I think it was. She was perched on the edge of the desk, spilling out of her top, and purring to Blake. "So, are you busy this weekend?" I tried to tell myself I didn't care about their conversation, but let's face it, I really did. As if he'd read my thoughts, Blake's head turned, and his eyes locked with mine. I blushed and quickly looked away, as if that was going to make him think I hadn't been looking at him. "No, I'm not busy, in fact, would you like to go on a date, Ashlay?" I'm pretty sure my heart chords twinged at that point, but I ignored the ache, and snuck a glance at Ashlay, who grinned and shot a triumphant bitchy look at me, before nodding, leaning in and kissing him deeply.

As she pulled away, I saw Blake sneak a glance at me when he thought I wasn't looking, and I growled under my breath. If that was how he wanted to play it...

"Hey Rowan" I yelled across the classroom, to a hot boy who I'd found out last week was actually gay. He turned around, I flared my eyes, gesturing for him to go with it as I asked him, "wanna go out this weekend?" He snuck a discreet glance at Blake and then answered me with a questioning look. I flared my eyes again, and he nodded, composing his face into a sexy expression before saying sure. Feeling that this was an appropriate time to blush for the charade, I snuck a glance at Blake, who of course made my cheeks flame up immediately. "Kay" I replied "I'll call you tonight then" he nodded before winking at me, and turning back around. What a waste of a hot guy I thought as I turned back to doodling on the table.

A shadow fell over the desk, and I looked up to see Jasper grinning at me, in a manner that quite frankly scared me. "What?" I asked warily, dreading the answer that could make him smile like that. "How 'bout me and Lila make it a double date?" my eyes widened, and I looked at Lila, whose head was so far down, it was practically on the table, but I could see the bright red on her ears, and behind her curtain of hair. "I... guess" I answered Jasper, although I have a feeling I was going to regret it. "Ooh, we'll make it a triple" Beth offered, in a way that made it obvious that 'no' was not an option.

"Hmmm" Blake's smooth voice came to my ears, and I looked up at him, regretting it when my cheeks flamed, but now I didn't know where to look. "Me and Ashlay will join you" before I could say anything, Beth and Lila both interrupted with enthusiastic yes's, and I sighed as I realised I was outnumbered. I looked at Ashlay, hoping she would protest, but although she looked annoyed, she remained quiet. I gave up with a sigh, and gave my friends and Blake a weak smile. Looks like I have a quadruple date to attend this weekend.
