Chapter 21 weird boy with a weird house
“Where do you actually live?” I ask Eddie as we near my house
“Like I said Witten Road, want to come over”
“I don’t know, what will your parents say?”
“They’re not in, my mom is an artist and my dad is a writer”
“Cool but what about your older sister then?”
“Don’t matter about her she’ll be busy with her husband if you know what I mean” he winked, unfortunately I did know what he meant
“Alright then but first I have to drop off my school stuff” he nodded

He put his key in and opened the door, Eddie’s house was big like ours as well.
“Hello, I’m home!” he called, I looked at him curiously. This was a different side of Eddie I was going to see. In comes running a girl with long gold hair behind her
“Hey you little maggot!” and she ruffled his hair
“Get off me. By the way this is Francesca” her face brightened and she was about to say something “Before you say anything she’s just my friend”
“That’s what you always say” she turns to me and gives me a hug, she smells of roses “Hi, my name is Eloise and I’m maggot’s older sister”
“Hi” It’s funny how she calls Eddie maggot!
“Okay enough, let me show you around Fran”
“Okay” I side stepped from Eloise and walked over to Eddie
“Sorry she is so embarrassing sometimes” he whispered to me
“Mine are worst, trust me!”
“Do you have nickname maggot?”
“Okay no!” I laughed, he didn’t look please “Come on Eddie” and I nudged him and he nudged me back with a smirk on his face! My phone vibrated I took it out, it was a text from Megan.
Where are you? My timetable is finished thinking we could go to town and get some make up! Xxx
“Who was it?” Eddie asked me
“It’s Meg, her timetable just finished and she wants to go to town”
“Oh” he looked sad
“I can text her you know” before he could reject I typed my reply and sent it
