I Promise (A Connor McDonough Fan Fiction)

VIII

"Caleb!! Can you please turn that down! I'm trying to study here!" I shouted from my room. Caleb was downstairs, playing some video games with his classmates. It's a Saturday today, six days after I officially became Connor's girlfriend. And yes, I'm studying on a Saturday because it's our final exams on Monday until Thursday. We don't have classes on Friday anymore because our school was being generous and decided to give us our summer early. But then 2 weeks after that would be our senior prom/farewell dance and then graduation the day after.

"Sorry!" He screamed back and I couldn't hear the volume of the TV anymore. Good boy.

My room was filled with relaxing country/indie folk music blasting from my iPod dock beside me. It was playing some songs from Ed Sheeran, Rascal Flatts, Love & Theft, and such artists.

About an hour later, I was disturbed by pebbles hitting my window. I groaned and looked out to see 5 boys standing outside, laughing. This better be good.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I yelled as I opened the window.

"Can we come in?" Toby yelled.

"You know you could have just knocked, or asked Caleb to open the door, or better yet, OPEN THE DAMN DOOR YOURSELVES SINCE YOU HAVE A KEY!!" I shouted, a bit annoyed because they're distracting me from my studies. I know I am not the smartest kid out there that's why I'm trying so hard to study for the finals. I also wanna receive my diploma, you know.

"Where's the fun in that?!" Thomas said but then the 3 brothers just moved away from our lawn and walked towards the front door. Not long later, five not-so-loud boys crashed into my room. Note my sarcasm in the not-so-loud part.

The day after Connor asked me to be his girlfriend, Connor introduced me to Thomas and Braiden. He picked me, Caleb, Riley and Toby up from school and said that we were having dinner at Steak n' Shake with Thomas and Braiden.

"So what brought you idiots here?" I asked as I sat down on my chair. Riley threw himself on my bed, Thomas and Toby on the bean bags and Braiden on the floor near my guitar. Connor walked up to me, pulled me up then he sat on my chair. I looked at him as if he was crazy then he pulled me down on his lap and planted a kiss on my lips.

"What? I can't visit my girlfriend?" He asked. I'm still in the process of getting used to being called that. It actually sounds so good coming from him.

"You can't when she's studying." I said and I grabbed my notebook again trying to concentrate. Which, I can tell you, is a hard thing to do when you are surrounded by 5 boys, one of them being your boyfriend who keeps on playing with your hair and fingers.

"Why are you even studying now? You still have tomorrow." Riley said from the bed. I guess that's what he'll do since he's obviously not studying right now.

"Well I'm sorry. Not all of us can be pop stars like you." I retorted then went back to studying until Connor grabbed my notebook and closed it. "What are your problems?!"

"Come on. I just wanna hang out today. Tomorrow and the following days after, I promise I'll help you study." He smiled at me and I sighed in defeat. That's the advantage when you have a boyfriend who happens to be older than you, he gets to help you in school because he went through it already. I guess I wouldn't be able to study too with these guys inside here. Like I said, it's too difficult to concentrate with this kind of environment.
