How I Became Friends With Blair Becon

Chapter 3-later that day...

I didn't see Blair or Skylar for the rest of the day. I almost wonder if they skipped the rest of the day after lunch but Blair is a notorious nerd so knowing her, she made Skylar attend all her classes as well.

I was walking home when I got a new text
From: Austin.
>So, you're really going to hang out with them tonight?<
I rolled my eyes at my phone. But my heart did start increasing a lit thinking out how I was actually going to get out of the house tonight.
To: Austin
>Yeah, I'm going to try, could you come over tonight @6 and cover for me??<
I hoped he could come and pretend that I was going to his house. I know I'd have a slightly larger chance of making it out of the house tonight if I were leaving with him.
as I was drowning in my stress-sea inside my head I Felt my phone vibrate again and unlocked my phone.

from: sky
>hey, we still good for tonight?<
I debated in my head, I Figured they would force it anyway so I Agreed.
to: sky
>yep, see you guys at 6. park down the street and i'll just come to you guys.<
I hope that she doesn't ask too many questions about it, this way is just easier in case my mom sees my getting into an unknown car, plus Austin lives down the street so she won't ask questions.
from: Austin
>yeah what time you need me there?<
I decided to be safe.
to :Austin
>come over around 5:45<
I decided that would be good just in case mom decided to make a scene.

I arrived home at exactly 4 o'clock and started on my chores so that there wouldn't be a problem when I left.
I walked in and kept my head low, I ran up stairs and to my room. immediately started dusting and vacuuming my already nearly spotless room.
after that I went into the next room, my little sisters.
"Hey cassie, how was school?" I asked as I started picking up her toys and blankets and folding her laundry. all around just tidying the room.
"It was fun big brother, today we learned animals!" she said excitedly.
I chuckled. "well, what's your favorite animal?" I asked.
"I like the turtle. they are green and slow." I laughed at how weird my sister was.
"You're right, they are slow cass.
I told her to go downstairs and watch her shows while I finished cleaning up stairs.
she pouted and looked away.
"But mike is down there" she said.
mike is our moms boyfriend and he's not the easiest to get along with, but we try.
"ok cass, just stay up here and don't make too much of a mess, ok?"
she nodded her head and continued playing with her dolls.
I shook my head and went to the next room, the bathroom. now, this one is tricky, I have to deep clean the whole thing or else it's bad news.
here it goes I thought to myself as I closed the door and took out the SOS pad and the bleach cleaner.

After an hour the bathroom was clean and I could start on a load of laundry.
next was the kitchen then the dining room and last the living room. I had to be careful in here because my mom and mike were both in here.
"Hey guys i'm going to start cleaning in here, " I closed my eyes and waited for the response.
"Well, hurry up then. The floor's not gonna clean itself." Mike made a movement with his hand to usher me stat.
I plugged in the vacumm and made short work of cleaning the white carpeting.

Just as I finished and started walking up the stairs I heard the doorbell ring .
That must be Austin I thought.
I ran back down the stairs hoping to get door before anyone else did. but sadly I saw mike opening up the door to reveal Austin standing there with a bored look on his face.
went he saw mike he quickly started looking around him for me.
I stood a foot away from mike and greeted austin,
"Is it ok if I go over to austin's for the night?" I asked the adults.
"Are your chores all done?
