The Secret Keeper

Chapter Six

Princeton's POV

When I woke back up I looked at phone...7:30. I looked around me and no one was there, including BJ. I smelled breakfast and raced to the kitchen. As I got close to the kitchen I heard familiar voices. "Thanks for letting me stay the night." BJ's voice said. "No problem. We didn't want to wake you. We were knocked out ourselves." I heard Ray's voice reply. When I reached the kitchen the guys were sitting in the chairs while BJ was by the stove, cooking. "Hey Prince." BJ greeted when I walked in, making the guys head turn towards me. "Hey." I greeted back. I sat on the last empty chair while BJ passed me a plate with pancakes, bacon, eggs, and a side of orange juice. BJ was still in the sweats she had on yesterday, but had a green crop top on. She probably was wearing that underneath or something. "BJ aren't you gonna eat?" I asked when I realized that was the last of the food. "No I have food at home. The breakfast is for you guys." she answered. "Well I gotta go." she said getting her sweat shirt from the back of Roc's chair and putting it on. "Already?" Roc asked which made her smile. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Maybe we can hang out later, but I'm tired right now." she answered. She did a quick wave and left. Roc turned around and did a double take on me noticing my mad expression the second time. "What's the matter with you?!" he asked taken back. I tried to wiped the expression off my face with no luck. "Roc....I like her....a lot...." "Dude I'm not tryna take her, take it down a notch. She's like a sister to me....nothing more, nothing less." he assured me. I calmed down and continued to eat the delicious breakfast.

BJ's POV

When I got home and went to my room I plopped down on the bed without taking anything off.

Used to believe in love, used to believe in fairy tales. Just starting to learned, figure it out for myself...

I answered my phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end.

???: Heeeyyy!

Me: Hey Bri, what's up?

Bri: Wanna go to the ice cream parlor with me?

Me:Um Bri...aren't you in Utah for the next week and some change?

Bri: Yeah I had to come back. My dad couldn't do it, because he had business trip. I'm at my house right now. Sooooo what do ya say?

Me: Pick me up in 10?

Bri: You got it, later.

After I hung up the phone I got my new clothes out (Skinny jeans with a teal sweatshirt, glove, and Converse boots). I hopped in the shower to only get sleepier from the hot water, then got out after about 5 minutes had passed. The cold breeze quickly brought me to alertness. I put on my clothes and went downstairs to be greeted by the doorbell. "Hey B." Bri greeted to me when I answered the door to her. "Hey." I greeted back. We got in her car and headed to the parlor. "Wait don't you think it's really early for ice cream?" I asked when the thought occurred to me. "We'll just have to see." she replied leaving the rest of the car drive silent. When we got to the parlor it was empty and the lights were out. "12:00 pm." I read out loud from the paper taped on the door. "Told ya." I said giving her the 'I-told-you-so' look. She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Let's go to the nail shop. I know they're open this early." She said starting the car again and driving back onto the road.

Princeton's POV

"Oh come on you cheated!" Ray barked at Roc at the end of a round on the video game. "No I did not. If I DID cheat you wouldn't have known about it. You just mad that you lost." Roc barked back making Ray go quiet. I sighed while fiddling with my phone. I wanted to text BJ even though I just saw her not too long ago. I didn't know if she was asleep or not. What if she was a light sleeper and woke up to the slightest sounds. I turned my phone on just looking at the screen, not bothering to unlock it. "What's the matter Prince?" Prod asked. "You're not still mad at..." "No I'm just bored right now. It doesn't involve Roc, I forgave and forgot." I said cutting him off. "Wanna play the XBOX with us?" Ray suggested. I shook my head no and leaned back on the couch rubbing my temples. "Is it BJ?" Roc asked. I nodded yes not looking at him. "Well she said we could hang out later. Why don't you just text her for right now." he suggested. I nodded my head yes again and they went back to the game. I unlocked my phone.

{PrinceMisfit}: Uh...hey

{Nerd4Lyfe}: Hey, what's up?

I was surprised by how fast she responded seeing is how she doesn't really like me...or does she? My mood lighten.

{PrinceMisfit}: Whatcha doin?

{Nerd4Lyfe}: I'm at the nail salon with my friend Bri. She's getting acrylic nail.

{PrinceMisfit}: You're not getting your nails done?

{Nerd4Lyfe}: NO! That's a waste of money. My nails are already naturally long. All I have to is paint them and I have nail polish at home for that. I'm SOOO bored. Hey wanna hang out around 12...well you and the guys.

{PrinceMisfit}: YES!!!

{Nerd4Lyfe}: Uh hype or naw? I'll tell you the place when I can. Gotta go ✌️

{PrinceMisfit}: 😊✌️
