5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 7

After texting Chloe, I had went downstairs and Ashton had finished his shower. He also dried his hair pretty fast. He said to me, "So, Nicole. What is it you wanted from me?" I replied, "Riley's hosting a party on the weekends and I really wanted to go." Ashton took a deep breath and then sighed. "Nicole, you know how I feel about Riley," he told me. It crushed my heart. The guys don't like Riley 'cause they know how rude she can be.

Nicole: But she's my friend, Ashton. It's just a party.

Ashton: I know that, but knowing who Riley is, also determines who else she'd be inviting to that party and I don't want you around those people.

Nicole: Well I mean, I don't know those people anyway.

Ashton: It doesn't matter. I don't think you should go to that party.

Nicole: (sighs) Fine.

I went upstairs to text Riley and tell her that I couldn't go to her party. Wow. I try to get on Ashton's good side and it backfires on me. BIG TIME. But even if I did get on his good side, it wouldn't change his perception on how he thinks about Riley.

Nicole: hey riles. Bad news. Can't go 2 ur party

Riley: what? But that's the third party of mine u haven't been able 2 come 2. It's not the same without u u know

Nicole: I really wish I could come Riles. I really do

Riley: then come

Nicole: but u know I can't

Riley: what's a little sneaking out gonna do if u don't get caught

Nicole: HA! That's funny Riley. It really is. But I'm almost 99% sure that I'll probably get caught

Riley: Listen to yourself. U said the words almost, probably, and why does no one pay attention 2 that extra 1%? Come on. As long as u do it right, nothing can go wrong

Nicole: I don't think so Riley.

Riley: well if u say so 🙄

Nicole: did u just roll ur eyes at me through an emoji?

Riley: no. I'm simply looking up at the sky 😜

Nicole: LOL ok

Riley: Brb

Nicole: kk

Riley: Back

Nicole: well that didn't take long

Riley: my mom was calling me to do the dishes

Nicole: U did the dishes that fast?

Riley: Nope

Nicole: ????

Riley: I told my mom I didn't wanna do them

Nicole: and she just listened to u. She just said "ok I'll do them"???

Riley: well it took a very short argument

Nicole: u argue with ur mom?

Riley: sometimes. Quite often tbh Don't u fight with ur bros?

Nicole: not often no

Riley: huh. Odd.

Nicole: is it?

Riley: well ya kind of. I mean everybody fights

Nicole: I'm not saying we don't fight. I'm saying we don't fight OFTEN

Riley: but that's what I'm saying. Everybody fights often

Nicole: not everyone

Riley: r u really trying 2 disagree with me Nicole

Nicole: well if I was, what would u do

Riley: nothing. Ur my friend. I don't care

Nicole: well I wasn't trying to disagree with u.

Riley: good. Well anyway if we have nothing 2 talk about, we might as well end this conversation

Nicole: well ok bye

Riley: bye! 😘
