Hitch Hiking • WHY DON'T WE [#1]

sixteen

The next morning my roommates and I woke up before Bea so we could all get dressed before she gets up and takes the entire morning to get ready. For some reason the girl puts on a lot of makeup even though she know's she'll end up sweating it off. 

"Hey Anslie, I have an idea." Eben grins after I exit the bathroom. Jonah was searching through the nightstand drawer between the two beds and Eben was looking through his bag.

"What?" 

"Aha!" Eben says quietly. He pulls out a marker from his bag and holds it up in the air. Jonah points to Bea and then to the marker as if signalling the plan. My eyes widen and I quickly shake my head. "That's not a good idea." I warn.

"What? Can't sleeping beauty handle a little marking on her face?" Eben asks now removing the cap from the marker. 

"Eben she'll be pissed."

"It's just a little fun." 

I glance over at Jonah who had taking heed to my warning. "Eben, Anslie has known her the longest, maybe we shouldn't disturb-"

"Come on, all the chick does is whine and complain and snore all night, all we're doing is drawing on her face. Kids do it all the time. It's nothing compared to how she treats you." 

Sighing I sit on his and Jonah's bed. "Is it permanent marker?" Eben nods. "Well, when she murders you can I have your hats?" 

"Actually, Daniel already has a claim on the hats." Jonah informs, sitting next to me. I roll my eyes, "I'll fight for them." 

"Guys," Eben rolls his eyes, "she won't kill me. Trust me, it'll be funny." I glance over at Jonah who looked at Eben with worry. 

"How nice is his house?" I ask Jonah. "Pretty nice." he answers. I nod, "I'll just take his house and let Daniel keep the hats, well maybe except a couple." 

Jonah and I both watch from the sidelines as Eben begins to draw on Bea's face. First he draws a huge mole beside her mouth, then he draws a mustache, on her left cheek he writes 'EBEN' and on her right cheek he writes 'IS HOT' in bold lettering, and finally right above her eyebrow he draws a penis. 

Eben stands back to admire his dirty work and puts the cap back on the marker. He turns to us with a smirk, "I could have done so much worse." 

I sigh, debating whether or not I wanted to stay and watch Bea freak out when she wakes' up or leave and avoid her wrath as much as possible. 

"You know Eben, you always were my favorite." I tell him, placing my hand on his shoulder. "Nice knowing you."

In that moment Bea groans in her sleep. "That's my cue to leave, bye." With that I exit the room and walk out into the hallway which was kind of chilly.

It was almost 7 a.m and we usually left here around 8 to get to the parks so I assume everyone else is awake, mostly. I knock on the others door. "Come in." 

Jack was sitting on he and Daniel's bed on his phone, Daniel was brushing his teeth, Corbyn was still asleep, and Zach was probably in the bathroom.

"Why do you look like you just seen a ghost?" Daniel asks, spitting into the sink. I shake my head and turn to Jack, "Good luck."
