Growing Up

Chapter 8- Sleeping Beauty

I peeked over the edge of my bed and glanced at Adam's body. "Does that usually happen?" 

Ty and V copied my movements and eyed Adam as well. "Only when he hasn't been getting enough sleep." Tyler commented before poking at Adam's side. 

"Help me get him back into bed or wake him up." I said giving them a choice. They shared look before glancing at Adam again. 

"I think we rather wake him up." V reasoned and sent me a sheepish smile. "How are you going to do that?" 

"Like this."

"That really was not needed." Adam complained for the fifth time as he squeezed the water out of his shirt. V snorted and rolled her eyes.

"It really was." Adam glared at her and walked over to the shelf that held the towels and began to dry himself. "Why don't you just shower Adam." I suggested. 

"I would Jay, but I don't have another change of clothes." I stood up and ran over to my brothers old room grabbing a pair of old sweats and a hoodie before running back and handing it to Adam. 

"Now you do." He looked at me hesitantly before taking the clothes and giving me the smile I was getting used to receiving before clothes the door.

"I mean why would he not just go for her. He's cute and she even liked him for a while." Tyler shouted as she cried into the pillow. 

I rolled my eyes but laughed as Tyler sniffled. "Ty she was obviously so much happier without him. Why would he ruin that?" I defended the character of the rom-com. 

"Because he loved her dammit!" She sobbed out and fell into V's lap who just shook her head and patted Ty's back. 

"Did she watched another rom-com?" My head snapped in the direction of Adam's voice and saw him walking down the stairs as he tried to dry his hair. 

V nodded and glanced at me before changing the channel.

"I don't do good with horror I hope you guys know." I eyed Ty who was eagerly waiting for me to out in the DVD. 

"Don't worry I don't either. I usually hide behind Adam or Ty." V explains and grabs a pillow for protection. 

"I really don't want to watch this." I whined again before running to the couch and grabbing my own pillow. 

"Come on you big baby. It is not that scary." I glared at Adam as he pressed play for Annabelle. 

"I hope she haunts you."

~

"I can't sleep." I said for the millionth times as we all laid on my bed. 

"Same."

Adam rolled  over on his side to face the rest of us. Since V and I both demanded to sleep in the middle of him and Ty.

"You guys are being babies." He stated and gave us a flat stare. 

"Now be quiet we need to sleep because Jay has tryouts tomorrow." I forgot about that. 

"You forgot didn't you." He accused and he gave me another flat stare. 

"Never." He continued to stare at me. 

"Okay maybe I did."

~

"Wake up." I groaned and rolled over away from the source. 

"We're gonna be late if you don't wake up now." I huffed and sat from my spot and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"You're annoying." Adam snorted as V shot him a glare clearly still grumpy from being awoken. 

"Leaving in 5." I huffed as he walked out of the room with a big smile. I got ready since I knew today was a big day for me. 

Well not really. More for the Xavier, but hey still a big day I guess.

Adam seemed pretty hyped to see what was to happen today and I can't lie and say I wasn't either. 

"Come on." I pulled V and Ty after waiting for them and out the door and into the car. 

"Someone's excited." I heard Ty comment from the backseat. 

"I wonder why?" V said in a teasing tone.

"Oh shut up." I shot back and gave them a playful glare. 

~

"Why is it actually cold?" V complained as we walked through campus to reach the main hall. 

"It's August what do you expect." Adam shot back as he rubbed his bare hands together trying to create warmth. 

"I told you to use one of my sweaters but no. You're too stubborn." I scolded as she stuck one of her hands into my sweater pocket. 

She stayed silent since she knew I was right. 

"Anyways, We'll meet you at Adam's car for lunch." I stated as the bell rang. They nodded and I began to walk away before Adam pulled me back. 

"I'll walk you." I gave him a questioning look, but then saw where his gaze was aimed at. 

Jason Porter stood leaned against the locker opposed to us; watching.

"They're planning something."
