Let's Play A Game

Chapter 13

"Do you want to come in?" Tanner asks, pushing the door open more.

"Well, I didn't come over to stand out here." I sarcastically reply.

"Hey, are you feeling better?" A girly voice interjects. I turn my head to see Carly and Kylie with drinks in their hands.

I walk over to them. "Yeah, I feel a lot better. I was just exhausted." I nod my head to the stairs, motioning for us to go to Carly's room. She takes the hint and walks upstairs, me and Kylie right behind her.

"What is Tanner doing home?" I question.

"Thanksgiving break. The other three are in town, too." Carly sips on her drink.

"This is going to ruin the whole plan. We can't have the creators of the original, and disgusting, game in town with the creators of the renewed game. They're going to bump heads a lot." I panic, pacing back and forth.

"We just need to keep them separate. It shouldn't be that hard." Kylie interferes.

"What are you going to do about Cameron being in town? Are you sure you're going to be able to handle that?" I was worried Carly would get caught up in Cameron being back and not focus on the plan.

"I'll be fine. Cameron and I are done. Even if I wanted to be with him, Tanner wouldn't allow it." She fiddles with her nails. It was clear she's still in love with him. I felt bad for her. Losing your virginity to a player that you're in love with and being forbidden by your older brother to be together would be like a heartbreak all over again.

I left Carly's house around 9:00 pm to get my shower, eat dinner, and catch some more sleep. Kylie asked if she could have a ride home. Of course, I took her home. I wouldn't leave her there over night with Tanner. He's sneaky and really good at persuading people. He would've have slept with her.

I saw Leah's car in the driveway when I got home. Walking through the front door, something that smelt really good hit my noise and made my stomach rumble. I saw Leah finishing up making her homemade pizza. It sounds really classic, but she didn't make hers like pizza shops did. Her pizza was like a burst of happiness in your mouth. It was the best pizza I'd ever tasted.

"Are you ready for movie night like we used to have?" Excitement was pouring from her voice. I missed this. I missed my aunt. I'm glad she came back before I had semi-finals for volleyball.

"I'm going to take a quick shower first. Don't start without me." I smile, sprinting up the stairs.

It took me less than ten minutes to get my shower, get dressed, and go to Leah's room. We never had movie night in the living room, it was always in her room. We would fall asleep watching movies every Sunday night when I was little. It continued up until now. If I was lucky, it would continue on longer.

Leah was already situated on her bed. She had the movie paused at the beginning. It was Kevin Hart's new stand-up show, Let Me Explain. I haven't seen this one yet. The first three I saw were hilarious. We loved Kevin Hart. I dove from Leah's side of the bed to the side I lay on. I pull the comforter over me and grab some candy from the bowl.

We start the movie and munch on our sweets and popcorn. Every few seconds, we laugh to the point of our stomaches hurting. I was having the binding time I missed so much with the woman that raised me.

Leah is shaking me, yelling my name. I fell asleep when we put in the second movie last night. I couldn't even remember the name of it. What I do remember, is I need to get my lazy ass out of bed and go to school before I'm late.

I trudge to my closet. I pick out a long sleeved, black and pink floral half top with my high waisted jeggings. My black bra and thong set would be good today. I didn't want people to see my underwear lines. My pink pumps would go well with this outfit. I put my hair into a sock bun on the side of my head with a flower clip to compliment it. I go with a natural looking pink eyeshadow with light eyeliner and mascara.

I walk downstairs after grabbing my bag, and sit down at the table. Leah made me chocolate chip pancakes, sliced up some strawberries for a side, and poured me a glass of orange juice. We ate our breakfast and talked about anything before I had to leave for school.

"I would stay and help you clean up, but I'd be late to school." I chug the rest of my orange juice.

She walks around the table, kisses my forehead, and says, "I can clean this by myself. Have a good day at school and practice, sweetheart. I love you."

I smile and hug her tight for a brief moment. "I will. I love you, too."

I buckle myself in to my seat and head to school. I had a few extra minutes before I had to be in class. I take my time walking to my lockers to grab my books. I'm walking down the hall to home room as a hand reaches around my waist. I swing my free hand around to back hand the person.

"Woah. Calm down, killer." Canyon backs away from me.

"You're such a jackass. Don't ever do that again." I turn around, walking towards my classroom again. I pick up my pace to lose Canyon. I wasn't shocked that he kept up.

"You look hot today." He smirks.

"You're a pig. Go to class before you're late." I shoo him off with my hand. I take my seat in home room and wait for the day to begin.

The whole day I've been stated at and getting checked out by guys. Girls have been rolling their eyes at me and giving me disgusted looks. What is going on with everyone today?

"Our best friend is damn sexy." Kylie says. Her and Carly walk on either side of me to the cafeteria.

"Yes, she is." Carly playfully winks at me. I laugh at their comments and jokingly roll my eyes.

We sit at our usual table, setting our food on it after we take it out of the brown paper bag. Leah packed me a sub with all my favorites on it: grilled chicken, provolone cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, banana peppers, pepperoni, and mayonnaise on a herb and chess bread, a protein juice, and a banana. She truly is the best.

"What's the new plan?" Kylie asks, looking between me and Carly.

"There isn't one. We stick to the old plan as much as possible. We make the guys fall in love with us. When they do, we break their hearts. We can't let Tanner and his friends screw this up. They aren't apart of this. We keep them out of this as much as possible." I take a bite of my sub, tasting it's deliciousness on my tongue.

"Sounds good to me." Carly shrugs her shoulders and eats her lunch. Me and Kylie do the same.

"Oh, do you know why I've been getting all these looks from guys and girls all day?" I was curious. I didn't wear anything special.

"We know why." A deep voice says. I turn around to look at the person. None other than the four idiots theirselves were behind me. I bet you could guess which one it was that spoke.

"Have you seen yourself in a mirror lately?" Josh asks.

"No. Why?" I question, sipping on my drink.

"Because you look sexy as hell today. And your ass is out of this world." Walker winks. The four of them take their seat next to their girl.

"He's right." Miles adds in. If Miles agrees, then it must be true. And I was fine with that.

"Good thing I picked her." Canyon smirks at me and puts his arm around my shoulder. Like any other time he's put his arm around me in public, I push it off.

I feel a little bad that I've only showed him affection in private. If I want him to fall in love with me, I need to show affection in public at some point. Eventually, I will. But right now, this stays a secret. He's the jealous type and I need him to be jealous. Showing jealousy means you care. Tanner is in town and I have something up my sleeve. I needed Tanner more than I thought. This game is about to get interesting.

Author's Note
What did you think? I know the guys are perverts haha, but it's funny. Is anyone anxious for Tuesdays update? Is anyone predicting what's going to happen? I hope so because that must mean you're hooked. By the way, I had someone make me my first two banners which really made me happy. Feel free to do that! I'm thinking having a banner contest soon and whoever wins will either get a chapter dedicated to them or get to be a character? I'm not sure yet. Comment, vote, and fan! Much love! ❤️
