Life One Summer [On Hold]

Chapter 7

"Hey." He said back, whilst glancing over my shoulder at the still hurting Chase. "Um, Aria?"

"Yes." I replied innocently.

"Why is my friend rolling in pain on the kitchen floor?"

"Cause he's a dick." I said simply, "Which you didn't warn me about by the way."

Travis frowned making his way past me and whacking his friend on the head, "What the hell did you do Chase?"

Chase stood up his hand now rubbing the spot where Travis had hit him, "Nothing man, I swear."

I folded my arms, "Really?"

Alice walked into the kitchen and after taking in the scene she sighed, "Oh for god's sake what did you do this time Chase?"

"I flirted with her okay." He argued, "But come on, look at her. She's wearing a fricking bikini."

Travis looked at me realising what I was wearing and cleared his throat before he asked, "Why are you wearing a bikini?"

I shrugged, "It's not my fault if I want to get a tan."

Travis rolled his eyes at Chase, "Come on lets go." And dragged his friend out of the house.

Alice laughed quietly before turning to me, "You've me the famous Chase Peters and come out victorious, I envy you."

"Is he always like that?" I asked still slightly confused at the last five minutes of my life.

She nodded, "Yup. He'll flirt with practically anything that has boobs. Doesn't help that he looks like a freaking Greek god."

"You noticed that too huh," I joked and she smiled.

We fell into silence and after a few moments I broke it, "So I'm going upstairs."

She nodded, "Oh me too."

After walking upstairs, still in silence, we parted and I walked into my room, grabbing a floral sundress I quickly whipped it over my bikini. I then came back out into the corridor and tapped lightly on Alice's door.

She looked up a little confused, "Hey."

I grinned, "So you promised me more Pretty Little Liars."

"I did didn't I." she smiled back, "Well then come in."

As I entered her room and it was then that I could fully take it in. There were paintings all across the walls of the room and some sheer white curtains blocking some of the light from coming in the windows, giving the room a glow. A few strings of fairy lights ran across the ceiling and a large double bed made me slightly jealous of the tiny thing I had in my room.

One of the paintings was of a large tree, which reached the ceiling. I walked over to touch it, "This is so good did you paint it?"

She nodded, "Yeah, I'm an art freak, in case the blue hair didn't give it away."

"I can't draw for shit."

"Nor can Travis, look in the corner of that branch and you'll see an apple that looks like a mutilated insect." I drew my eyes across and sure enough there was a splodge of red mixed in amongst the leaves.

Alice was sat on one of the beanbags in her room and she gestured for me to sit down on the other one, I shut the door and slumped down. She brought out a laptop and opened it up, flicking through until she found the episode we were on. I sunk further into the seat and was happy to have a little girl time.
