Enigma

Chapter 9

"Can you stop it?" I yelled at Zach while removing popcorn out of my hair. Everyone swarmed in my house around nine and we had picked one of the most deadliest and terrifying genre. Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. I'm sure y'all guessed? Okay, if you guys haven't, we picked... ROMANCE. It was only because Emma, Kelly and Leo forced us. I always knew Leo had this girly side. That guy was really weird. Weird guy with a fetish for romantic movies. As you guys would have guessed, I'm not really comfortable with watching romantic movies. They are just too sappy and emotional which is totally not my thing. Maybe horror movies or thrillers would be my thing.

"No," he smirked and threw more popcorn at me. What is with this guy and his stupid smirk? I rolled my eyes and pulled out the popcorn from my hair. I was sitting on the couch with Leo on one side and Zach on the other. Leo and I were squished to one side while Zach occupied the most amount of place. He rested his head on the hand rest while his legs were on my lap. I had only agreed to this position because he had successfully brushed my hair  (without hurting me, yes!) and braided it too, not perfectly but it was okay, I think. I don't know how this guy knew how to braid. When I asked him he just shrugged without giving an answer so I decided not to push it further. So according to him, I owed him and hence I was supposed to agree with him. He and his stupid logic. Not to forget, those two freaking sandwiched me! Jason sat on my favourite black Bean bag, Jake on the floor taking the support of the couch as back rest with Austin on his right side (finally he got a day off from his work) and Kelly on the left while Eric was on the recliner with Emma on his lap.

We picked The fault in our stars first because apparently Emma and Leo haven't watched it in a while. Jason, Austin and Leo were intently staring at the screen while Jake and Kelly were currently into this deep conversation that they didn't notice Eric and Emma going all lovey-dovey. I think everyone finally noticed it when we all screamed in unison, "Guys get a room." They just rolled their eyes and continued sucking each others' face.

The movie got even more boring when Ansel Elgort started kissing Shailene Woodley. I scrunched up my nose is disgust and unlocked my iPhone to check all my messages and started surfing through my instagram feed. My phone buzzed and I opened the unread message. It read 'Hey Lilly' and was from an unknown number although the unknown person was someone familiar. I glanced at him with an eyebrow raised asking him why the hell was he texting me? He just rolled his eyes and looked at his phone again. I quickly saved his number and texted him back asking him how he got my number. My phone buzzed again.

Zach:

I've sources. ;)

Me:

Did Leo give it to you? Yes I'm sure. Wait, he's dead!

I looked at Leo who was currently crying. Is he mad or what? This guy really had issues. Why was he crying?I smacked him on his arm and he shrieked. What a girl! Zach and I burst out laughing while everyone just looked at him weirdly. "Ow-that hurt you idiot," he yelled while rubbing his eyes.

"No shit, sherlock," I rolled my eyes.

"Wait are you crying because she hit you, Leo? Don't tell me. Okay I remember this one time when you started crying in eight grade because Ashley had slapped you right in the face and you fell face first on the ground because of your clumsiness but this wasn't that big of a deal. You're freaking 17 soon to be 18! What the hell dude.. man up. I didn't know-" Eric started ranting while everyone stared at Leo.

"Wait WHAT? Ashley slapped him in the face and he fell? What the fuck man?" Zach burst out laughing at this newfound news and everyone followed him. Leo's face turned red and Zach had practically fallen off from the couch on the ground holding his stomach tightly with his hands.
