Stuck in the moment

Chapter 2: The cousin

"Aliss!" I heard Eunice call out in a cheerful voice from outside my room.

I sighed, sitting up from lying flat on my bed to welcome her company. Not even a second has passed, the door bursts open, and a grinning face of Eunice is revealed.

She casually walks inside the room and to me. After getting to me, she propped herself next to me on the bed.

"Dress up, gal!" She says. I fought the urge to groan at her high pitched voice. Honestly speaking, she always speaks in a loud and cheery manner. It mentally tires the heck out of me just by hearing her voice.

"Why?" I replied uninterestedly.

"Because we're going on a trip, with our favorite rocket ship! Yey!" She sang as she clapped along to the song.

I can only stare at her.

"Oh, silly!" She places a hand on my shoulder. "Tomorrow's the first day of school! We have to shop!"

Lightly, I shook my head. "I'm sorry. I think I'll pass. I'll just use my old shool supplies." The truth is, I don't really  like shopping with anyone. I prefer shopping all by myself.

Eunice took her hand off my shoulder and stood up, climbing on top of my bed before jumping up and down. "Are you nuts?! You're coming with me or I'll do this for like, forever?!"

This girl really is full of surprises. I mean, what is she? A five-year old kid? I can only sigh.

I never thought she'd  be this friendly. We've only been living together for 2 days but here she is, already acting as if we've been hanging out for more than a year now.

Sighing, I stood up from my bed and faced her. I made eye contact with her and she just looked at me with determination stuck on her face as she continued to jump up and down on the poor mattress.

"Alright, then." I said. I think I should atleast try going out and look around the town once in a while. Besides, I wouldn't really want her bugging me out all day.

Upon agreeing with her, she stopped from jumping. "Really?!" She asked excitedly.

I nod. Then I moved to walk towards the dresser to change clothes. I grabbed a white tee and a pair of denim jeans inside the drawer before I started taking my shirt off. In the process of taking my shirt off, I heard Eunice scream. I looked at her and saw her covering her eyes with her hands. (Alliteration there xD)

"What?" I asked her.

"You're stripping in front of me!" She shouted, pointing at me while still covering her eyes with her other hand.

I dumbfoundedly stared at her. So what about it? Is she for real?

I shook my head, reminding myself that she's just weird. With that thought, I ignored her and proceeded to taking off my shirt. Apparently, she screamed again.

"You know, we're both girls." I told her, not bothering to look at her as I continued changing my shirt. "And if you're really grossed out with seeing a girl's body, you can always turn around."

"Are you kidding me? It's not that I'm grossed out with your gorgeous body. It's just that your body makes me feel grossed out with my body!"

What?

"And okay, alright. I admit my defeat. But don't you dare go snatching my crush away from me! 'Kay?"

What the hell is she talking?

Whatever.

I'm done with my shirt and now the jeans. I was expecting Eunice to be screaming again when I take my sweatpants off but when I did, I didn't hear a single thing from her. I wondered why so I looked at her. I saw her gaping at me. I rolled my eyes off of her and wore my jeans quickly.

When I finished, I walked towards the study table to grab my cellphone, then I looked at her again- she's pouting now.

"I'm done. " i told her, shrugging lightly.

She just looked at me, until she throws her hand in the air in exasperation.

"You dirty witch!" She spat out, offending me in the process.

"Excuse me?"

"Your ass is perfect!" She cries out

What the hell?

"Eugene better not be falling head over heels with you or I'll slit the sides of his neck and throw him out the red sea!"
