Best Friend's Sister (Book 1)

25

I ran downstairs to grab my textbooks off the coffee table. Finals started tomorrow and I needed to study my ass off or I was doomed. I grabbed my books and turned them all to the pages I needed and stacked them.

I was reading out of my AP chemistry book when I reached my room. I sat down on my bed and grabbed my chem packet. I started writing down the answers to the questions and once I finished with that I moved on to the next book. English.

~~~

It was almost three in the afternoon and I had my headphones on and been studying since about two...am. I was so focused on my English homework that I didn't notice when Dean came into my room. He laid down on my bed and put his hand on my lower back, rubbing it.

I slid my headphones onto my neck so I could hear him, "what's up?" I found the answer to a question about Shakespeare's Hamlet and quickly wrote it down.

"Just checking on you. You've been studying since you got home from school Friday. Have you even slept?"

"A little bit. Couple hours here and there."

"By a couple, do you mean one or two?" He asked knowingly.

I nodded, "ya, basically."

"Alright that's it," he sat up and started closing my books as he took them out my hands and off my lap, "I'm taking you out. You and your brother, cuz he's doing the same thing."

I groaned, "but finals start tomorrow. And I'm almost done with all my study packets."

"I don't care. I'm taking you out. It's for your own good," he dragged me into Seth's room and did the same to Seth that he did to me. He took all Seth's books and set them down and grabbed Seth's wrist and dragged him and I down to his car.

"What are we gonna do anyway? It's almost four on Sunday. Nothing good is either open or their packed." I pointed out.

"We're gonna see a movie and then we're gonna eat," Dean stated.

"What movie?" Seth joined in.

"I was thinking that new movie that Zerena's been dying to see since the trailer came out. What was it?...Oh ya, Sing."

"Ooh ya! I'm on board!" I started jumping in my seat.

"Sounds good," Seth grumbled.

"Oh come on S, why you so boring?"

"Because I am Z. Get use to it."

I huffed.

  "Aw come on Angel, cheer up. I'm not gonna let you see the movie until you smile," Dean told me.

  I grinned at him, "you're evil. I love you."

  He chuckled, "I love you too," he stopped at a red light and looked at me, "I would totally kiss you right now but I'm kinda busy."

  "Well I guess we'll just have to do the what we can," I leaned over and pecked his cheek.

  "Aw come on guys! I have to deal with you guys at home all the time, can you please tone it down while we're in public," Seth groaned.

  "Never," Dean said and kissed my lips.

  "Lights green," Seth pointed out.

  "Perfect timing," I sat back in my seat just as Dean moved the car forward.

  We pulled into a parking space and got out. I walked around to Dean who quickly pulled me close and kissed me.

  "There, a proper kiss. Not just a peck," Dean said after he pulled away.

  I laughed and started walking towards the theater.

  "You guys are unbearable," Seth mumbled."

  "What was that Seth? I didn't hear you. Though it sounded like you said to jump on your back," I teased and jumped on him.

  He caught my legs and himself before he fell. He laughed at my childish actions, "your such a child."

  "You love me," I poked his cheek.

  "You wish," he smirked.

  I looked to Dean, "Dean my brothers being a meany. Your his best friend, do something about it," I said in a childish voice.

  Dean chuckled and poked my ribs making my squirm and giggle, "yes but your his sister. You gotta better chance than I do."

  I thought about it for a second, "true."

  Dean gave me a knowing look and nodded.

  I hopped off Seth's back just as we reached the theater. Dean bought our tickets and then our popcorn before we went to the theater that Sing was playing in and sat down.

~~~

    "Ahh! I loved it! Thank you Dean for getting me off my ass to see it!" I squealed and hugged Dean.

  He chuckled, "your welcome, Angel," he looked at Seth who was grinning, "your welcome, Seth."

  Seth looked at us, "thanks. It was a great movie."

  "Right! Oh my and Johnny's voice! Wow! Just wow! If Johnny was real and my age I would so date him," I paused and giggled as I saw Dean's face at statement, "that is. If I was available," I added and a smug grin appeared on Dean's face.

  "Jealous of a cartoon gorilla are we?" Seth teased his friend and nudged Dean's shoulder with his own.

  Dean stood tall and proud, "not a chance."

  "You so are," I poked his cheek, "don't deny it."

  Dean huffed in defeat, "fine. Only a tad though. Maybe if Zerena didn't make the comment about dating the damn gorilla I wouldn't be," he said sarcastically.

  "Love you, Dean," I smiled.

  "Love you, Dean," he mocked me, snaking his arm around my waist and pulling me close, "I love you too, Zerena."

  I grinned and kissed him. It was always great hearing those words from the ones you love. It was like getting the best Christmas gift every time. 

  Dean dropped Seth and I off at our house and we went straight to the kitchen grabbing snacks before heading back to our rooms to study. Not twenty minutes later, I got a text from Dean.

  Can you come over. Parents are fighting. It's really bad, but I don't want to leave. -Dean

  It was in a group chat with him, Seth, and I. I walked into Seth's room and sat down while typing a reply.

  Well if you want to stay, it can't be that bad. Can it? -Zerena

  How bad? -Seth

  I sent mine just as Seth sent his.

  My parents are getting divorced bad. -Dean
