Chapter 8

*sorry not checked for errors, enjoy!*

As soon as we enter Aaron's house I'm hit with a balloon, I catch it from my face and hand it to Jc.

He drops the air sack on the ground and follow me into the living room, there I find Connor and a blonde boy with crystal blue eyes and tan skin talking to a Cannon camera.

Connor meets my eye as Aaron explains the challenger their doing (I think it's called the Smoothie Challenge), I give him a small wave and he turns back to the camera.

After they introduce it, Aaron (I'm guessing it's him) exclaims "So, let's go."

Aaron turns off the camera and looks to me and waves, I wave back. Connor walks over to me, "This is Tori." he introduces me.

"Cool, I'm Aaron." he nods to me, I wave at him again. God, I must seem like all I do is wave.

Connor pushes me forward a bit and I stumble forward, I look back at him coldly. Aaron chuckles, "Wanna help?"

"Sure." I say.

Once we're in the kitchen, I grab another balloon from the counter and throw it behind me. "What's with the balloons?" I ask him.

"Moving in party." he exclaims, I nod.

I grab a blender and place it next to Aaron, who's now cutting tomatoes. "Is that for the challenge." "Yeah, we're gonna put each thing in here and drink it."

I scrunch up my nose in disgust, "Ew! Why?!"

Aaron laughs, "Because people enjoy watching up choke on disgusting drinks and foods.

"How fun." Aaron laughs again, his hand casual touches mine and I don't stop it.

After we finished setting up, Aaron asks "So... are you dating one of the boys er..."

"No.-" I laugh "-just crashing at their house until I find somewhere."

Aaron nods, "Cool"

Connor interrupts our very exciting conversation by putting his arm over my shoulder and saying "Yep. She's stayin' with us, little Tori."

I shrug his arm off and roll my eyes, "I'm not little."

Connor smirks and reaches under my legs and sweeps me up bridal style. "What the fuck?! Put me down!" I yell at him, he laughs evilly.

God, he's annoying. He puts me down, and I swat his arm. "Little." he laughs.

Connor then smiles evilly again and looks behind me, I turn around and I find Jc staring at Connor coldly. This is weird...

After Connor and Aaron are finished with the challenge we drive home and as soon as we reach the house Jc storms out of the car and into the house.

I climb up to the passenger seat, "What's with him?" I ask Connor.

"Oh nothing..." he says with a hint of mystery in it.

"Why the hell did you pick me up today?" I ask him, annoyed.

"Well someone had to show Jc to A-up his game." Connor smirks.

"What do you mean?" "How oblivious can you be?!" Connor practically yells.

Taken back, I say "Explain then oh master."

Connor rolls his eyes but starts, "Jc likes you. I mean, did you see the way he looked at me when I pick you up? and the way he stares right into Aaron when you guys were "setting up" sent a chill through my body, it all adds up Tori. I know Jc, and he's never been like this with anyone. He likes you."

"No he-" "Oh my god-" he leans back, stressed, in his seat.

"-fine think what you want. But he likes you Tori."

And with that Connor dramatically exits the car, leaving me with my confused and jumbled thoughts.
