A Series in Disguise: Book 4

Chapter 8

We stopped at the burger place a few minutes away and ordered two of everything on the menu. We have been starving for hours, postponing the trip. Parker finally convinced her brother and I to go get food.

"Dude. I think we have more than enough food." I said to Hayden. He started laughing as we walked up the stairs in his house.

"Not with Parker." He said. We continued to walk up the stairs and down the hallway. He opened Parker's room, revealing our current mess.

"Yo yo yo. It's Hayden and Matt-io." Hayden said walking in. I followed closely behind.

"Thank god." Selena said flipping over on the bed. I saw Parker standing up.

"I'm starving." She said. Her stomach grumbled on cue, making me chuckle.

"Chill babe." I said handing her a burger. She rolled her eyes before taking the burger from me. She took some fries from her twin.

"I have milkshakes." Zac said walking in with a tray. Zac had also come with us on the trip. We kind of left him to struggle with the drinks.

"Ooh! I want." Parker said reaching for one.

"And I come to help with homework!" Bre cheered. We all groaned. She was supposed to bring food.

Hayden had called her on the way to the food place and told her to come over. He also explicitly told her to bring food or Parker would kick her out.

"I'm joking. But I do come with candy." Bre said dropping a bag down on the ground. I grabbed my own burger before taking a bite.

"So, what it the plan for this weekend?" Bre asked. We were all now sitting around Parker's room. This has become our hangout place.

"Well first we need to pass finals." Zac said. I sighed. He was right. I needed to pass in class if I wanted to stay in America.

"I didn't think joining a public school was going to be so hard." Selena groaned. I wondered if home schooling was actually easier.

"I know. On top of that, we have the playoffs starting." Hayden sighed. We had been pressured lately. The coach was on our äss to win.

"You'll do great." Parker told us. I was watching her. She looked over at me with a huge smile on her face.

I caught the ball with ease, clutching it to my body. Hayden has been throwing the ball to me a lot more this practice. I could see Dylan fuming from my current spot.

"That's enough for today boys." Coach called out. We all jogged up to him. I took off my helmet, revealing my wet mop of hair.

"Tomorrow is our first game of the playoffs. I expect each and everyone one of you to get a good night of rest while eating healthy tomorrow. That means no red bulls Mr. Tanner!" Coach said glaring at one of the guys on the team. "With that being said, go shower. You all stink!"

I walked away, hearing Dylan's conversation. I walked slowly, wanting every piece of information he was giving. "Yeah. I'm going to the locker room." He said before walking into that direction.

I rolled my eyes. I ignored him, walking across the field. He was a scumbag. I don't even know why I bothered to listen. I looked towards the cheerleaders and saw most of them getting their stuff. I guess their practice was over too. I looked around, seeing Parker. I jogged over to her.

"Hey princess." I said. She turned around at the sound of my voice. She slipped on her t-shirt.

"Hey Matt." She said smiling at me. She turned away from my face and looked around. I guess she's looking for Dylan.
