Keep Your Enemies Closer

You are something, Chandler

The next day was as boring as always. I had my teacher come to my house, like every morning and I had class. As always, he would be strict and scowl at me when I wasn't listening. But today was different. I regretted watching all those movies last night.

I started with the rascals and about three more old school movies later, I ended with something called Matilda. That one was my favorite by far, because it was hilarious. I'll definitely get me a DVD of all that. Maybe I should get Allie one too? I shook my head, no way.

After home school was done, I almost made myself ready to pick her up from school, but I remembered she had a day off. So, I walked back into my room and watched a few more movies.

The day ended as soon as it came and I found myself making myself ready for Cyrus' soccer game. I had class again and this time I wasn't that tired, so my teacher didn't scowl at me that much. And I was in an oddly good mood today.

"Miles, don't wait for me, lock the doors and turn off the lights when you go to sleep." I ordered my butler when he gave me the key to my Bentley. I made sure to look into the mirror. I had a baseball cap on, so people wouldn't really recognize me. I also had a black hoodie on, just in case.

"I will. Can I ask how late you will be tonight?" I thought about his question and shrugged.
"Very late if not early in the morning." I answered and stepped into my vehicle. I had a smile on my face when I arrived at the Parker's residence. I saw Cyrus playing in the front yard and once I stopped my car in front of their house, his eyes widened and his mouth too.

"Hey, lil man." I said as I stepped out. He was still staring at my car and I waved my hand in front of his face, so he would snap out of it. Strange boy.
"That's your car?!" He asked and I nodded.

"Can I drive with you? Please, please, please?" He jumped up and down and I nodded.
"Where's the rest of the crew?" I only wanted to know about Allie, but I didn't want to sound desperate.

"Oh, mom is inside. We still have half an hour before we need to leave. Allie is in her room, as always." I chuckled at his last words and nodded.
"I'll go greet them." I said and he nodded before walking towards my car and admiring it.

I rolled my eyes with a small smile playing on my lips. I hated when people touched my car, but he was Allie's little brother, so it was somehow okay. I pulled my hoodie down and knocked on the door. Miss Parker opened it hastily and when she saw me she smiled.

"Hello, Chandler. Nice to see you. Come on in." She said and I nodded before getting in.
"Thank you for letting me come to his game, Miss Parker." I said and hung my coat next to the door.

"Oh dear, call me Linda. Miss Parker makes me sound old." She laughs and I felt my heart warm at the sound.
"Alright, Linda." I hesitated, because I never called adults by their first name, but when she smiled in satisfaction, I felt easier.

"Allie is in her room, making herself ready. Maybe you could try and convince her to come, but I'm pretty sure she won't." Her mom's words confused me. She was really getting ready? So she was going on a date then. I nodded at her mom, who smirked all of a sudden. Why did she smirk.

I just smiled and walked upstairs, before knocking on Allie's room.
"No mom, I didn't change my mind!" She yelled and I chuckled, before opening her door. She had her back to me, doing something on her bed.

"You sure?" I seemed to startle her as she jumped and quickly turned around. I smirked at the blush that crept up her cheeks. It was interesting.
"W- what are you doing here?" She stuttered and I rolled my eyes. Her stuttering did something to me and I still haven't figured out what it meant.

"I came to pick you up." I shrugged.
"I told you I wasn't going, Chandler." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. I looked past her to see what she was doing on the bed.

"What are you doing?" I asked her as I stepped closer. She held up her hand and I frowned.
"It's none of your business. Go away." Her words made me smirk.
"It can't be that bad." I said, but her blush told me something else.

"I'm warning you, Chandler. Take one more step and I-"
"You what?" I saw her hesitate and knew I won this round.
"I'll scream." She shrugged and I chuckled.

"Oh no, how will I ever survive that?" I asked sarcastically.
"Chandler!" She stomped her foot on the floor and I rolled my eyes. She was being over dramatic.

"Fine, I'll stop if you come with us." I said and she scoffed before crossing her arms over her chest. I glanced down on that and was glad she was wearing a loose shirt. But at the same time, I wasn't.

"Or you'll just leave me alone." She said and I sighed.
"You asked for it." I stepped closer and was surprised when she pushed me away. I laughed and took a hold of her arms, so she couldn't hit me. She struggled to get free and I only tightened my grip.

"Are you serious?" I laughed when I saw what she was doing. Food was placed on one side of her bed and a laptop was on the other side of it. It looked like she was planning a movie night and I was mainly laughing, because she was making such a big deal out of it.

"Stop laughing." I heard her say when she stopped moving and I released my grip on her. When I looked back she had a cute look on her face, telling me she was angry, but I would love to pinch her cheeks right now.

"That's why you don't come to your brother's game? Kind of mean." I said, which made her scoff.
"I'm not." She said and I shook my head in fake disappointment.

"If you say so." I was playing with luck when I walked past her. I heard her groan and smirked when I got down and Linda was staring behind me with wide eyes.

"I'm driving with you." She told her mother as she angrily walked outside to meet her brother in the front yard. Linda looked at her and turned back to me with a smile.

"You are something, Chandler." She shook her head in amusement and I just grinned wider.

I wish I was.
