Love At Second Sight

Chapter Twenty-Two: Giggling Girls

I've realized that it's only been drama that's happened lately in Love At Second Sight, so it's time to bring the humor back! Here it is:

  Drew had been missing for a whole week. However, I knew where he was. I wouldn’t tell anyone, because I knew that he wanted to be alone in the old abandoned house that used to belong to him.

  I also knew that he was safe, so I wasn’t one to panic. Peyton, on the other hand, was. She’d spend her day pacing back and forth in the living room, muttering, “Where is he?” and other things along those lines.

  One day Mason and Jonah were out playing basketball with Jared and Lucas, leaving us girls all alone. Five out of six of us were watching TV, while one was pacing around.

  “I’m such an idiot!” Peyton hissed as she walked in front of the TV.

  I looked at McKinley with an exhausted look on my face. Peyton was being quite annoying lately with her constant worries.

  “I got an idea!” Harlow announced happily. We all turned our heads to look at her. Even Peyton stopped walking back and forth to see what she had to say.

  “Girls night,” She ventured when she noticed she had our attention. “Let’s have a night just for the girls! Like we used to in high school!”

  I grinned as  memories flooded my mind. I remember the days where we girls would have slumber parties in Maven’s basement as if it was yesterday. Everyone else seemed to be smiling right now. I just knew we were all remembering the memories we had on those fantastic nights.

  “I’d love to do that,” I replied.

  Everyone agreed with me by nodding their head.

  I took out my phone and smirked. “And just to make sure we get no interruptions.” I dialed my boyfriend’s cell phone number and pressed my phone to my ear.

  “Hey!” He said once he answered his phone.

  “Jonah? Can you do me a big favor?” I asked him with an innocent, baby-like voice.

  “Sure, what is it?” He asked me.

  “You and Mason need to stay at my brothers place tonight. Don’t even think of coming home, and if you have to, call first.”

  “Why?” He wondered.

  “Shh, it’s a secret.” With that, I hung up.

  Two hours later, all of us girls were in our loosest pajamas, our slippers on our feet and our hair all in pigtails. We were all sitting in a circle underneath the fort we had made out of pillows and blankets. Two bowls filled with popcorn and M&M’s sat in the middle of the circle.

  “Okay, Lucy, truth or dare?” Jessie asked me as she grabbed a handful of grapes and shoved it in her mouth.

  I thought, making my eyebrows furrow. “I’ll have to say truth.”

  “Who do you think is the cutest, Lucas, Drew or Jonah?”

  I raised an eyebrow. “Obviously Jonah!” I said. “Drew is like my brother and Lucas is my brother!”

  She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. She then nodded her head at me, telling me that it was my turn to ask someone to pick.

  “Hmm…” I looked around the circle of my girlfriends. “Maven,” I chose. “Truth or dare?”
