"Just come up to my room when you get here. My dad is in his office so he won't notice you and if you do happen to see him, keep your head down and just speak." I told Colton, Carter, and Liz over the phone.
They were just leaving school; I left after the whole hallway thing with Isaiah. I had no need to stay at school anyway, the rest of my classes were over.
They had somehow got in touch with Liz because I had been trying all day. I didn't see her at school but I knew she was either there or out being weird somewhere else.
"We're almost there." They told me, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Okay." I said then hung up the phone.
I didn't have on any pants so I sprinted to my closet to find some. I slipped into a pair of leggings to match the sweatshirt I currently had on. I ran my hands through my messy hair, pulling up into a high ponytail. Adjusting my nerd classes, I avoided the mirror, knowing I looked horrible but comfortable.
As I was leaving my closet, I heard the laughing three enter my large bedroom. I nodded my head in their direction then plopped down on my comfy bed. The boys were still dressed in the same clothes from earlier and Liz had on all black with her brown hair high in a ponytail like my own.
Carter sat up against the wall and Colton and Liz sat on my bed with me. My gaze focused solely on Colton as he attempted to avoid looking at me. I brushed it off and just assumed he was tired or something.
Once I got comfortable with my back pushed against plush pillows and my legs pulled to my chest, I focused on Carter.
"So tell me whatever you have to tell me sweet cheeks." I laughed. "This better be good."
Liz shifted on the bed, causing me to look at her. She held the same nervous expression Carter had earlier today at school. Everyone being so weird caused my mood to somber up and wait calmly for somebody to say something.
A few minutes went by of pure silence but I didn't force anyone to speak. I refrained from getting annoyed because I didn't know how serious whatever they had to tell me was.
"We don't know how you're going to feel about it." Liz spoke up first.
"Try me." I nodded my head for her to continue on.
"See, it's been a few things we've been keeping from you." Carter spoke. "You've haven't exactly been a good mood lately and we didn't want to just force this on you."
I just wanted them to spill already; I didn't care about the back story. My eyes were shooting around the room to each person who spoke randomly, Colton was completely quite.
"Liz and I.." Carter started but stopped.
"We've been..." Liz continued.
They looked at each other intensely, as though holding a conversation.
"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" I yelled.
"We've been seeing each other." They both shouted at the same time.
My mouth dropped slightly and I stared at the two of them. I waited for several minutes for someone to say they were playing but neither of them did.
Suddenly, I laughed. Everyone's expression grew surprised as they listened to my laughter.
"That's it?" I clutched my stomach. "That's all you guys had to tell me? That you were dating?" I laughed harder. "You guys are so dramatic. I thought someone died or that Carter needed a place to stay. Hell, I even considered for a second that you were pregnant, Liz." I continued laughing as they all looked at me like I was crazy.
