Reese or Reece [turtle slow updates]

My parents always told me that I needed to start becoming less forgetful and that one day it's going to bite me in the butt. I didn't really care and I didn't even understand the point of that. Well...at least until now. 

The look Callum and Ross were giving me were enough for me to shrivel up into a little ball.

"Hey aren't you that hottie from the soccer stadium?" Callum asked whilst moving closer to me. He was so bold, and I didn't like it one bit.

"Um, yeah. I mean no! Wait, I'm a friend of Reece, I'll go get him," I quickly made up an excuse to get myself out of there. 

"Really? Well that's awesome, maybe he'll introduce-" I didn't hear the rest of the sentence because I was already long gone.

I sprinted out of the room and stopped outside the door for a second. I'm not sure why I did it but I pressed one ear against the bedroom door.

"I'm surprised that she ran away from us. I mean, we one of the most hottest guys on campus, plus we're intelligent, shouldn't that be a bonus for her?" Ross huffed, I could hear the difference between his voice was a lot deeper than Callum's.

"Yeah, I know right. When Reece get's back I am so asking him questions. Who does he think he is? Hiding someone this good looking away from us. Honestly," Callum sounded slightly angry which made me re-think my choice of going back in there dressed as Reece. They sounded like the Plastics from Mean Girls, gossiping. Except the fact that they are dudes and there's only two of them.

I didn't really have a choice though. Where would I go? 

After doing the usual (putting on the wig, shades and changing into sweats) I took a deep breath and knocked on the bedroom. Immediately everything went quiet. 

"Yo!" I raised my hand for a high five the moment Callum swung the door open. However he did not, in turn, raise his hand. All he did was raise an eyebrow.

"Where have you been?" he asked as if he was my father.

"Nowhere," I invited myself inside and gave Ross a weird look even though he wouldn't have been able to see through my shades. "Who's this?"

Callum laughed. "Very funny. Why did a good looking chick just walk into the room literally a minute ago saying that she was your friend?" He questioned me. I didn't know how to answer him. 

"What's the big deal?" I shrugged and grabbed my phone from the counter. I had taken the case off so it wouldn't seem so obvious that I was a girl. My case was quite feminine to be honest. It was white and red and little monkeys all over it. That may not sound feminine but get this: the monkeys had pink bows on their heads.

"What's the big deal?" he huffed, "why are you acting so un-dude like?" 

"That's not even a word," I stated.

"See? You just proved my point," Callum did not seem amused at all. I was very pissed off and I wanted to just leave this room. 

"Shut up okay? She's just a family friend and yeah sure she's good looking-" I nearly choked on the word but continued to speak nonetheless, "but she's just a friend, she actually has a boyfriend." Now that is what I call a lie.

"Fine, this is Ross by the way." Even though he didn't seem too convinced, he let the matter go. Then gestured towards the dude that seemed to be smirking his face off at me. 

"Yeah, nice to meet you Ross," I waved my hand dismissively. Could they just not leave? 

As if to read my mind, they spoke up.
