My Idiotic Roommates// Why Don't We

Nine: War Paint

--Jack's POV--

it's like 9 Sunday night and Mum and Dad will be here any minute. Jea and I are painting a decorating the spare room while Kyle and Alec figure out how to put in the wall bed. Cloe, Dylan, Daniel and Jack are putting in the kitchen, making the table and couch and painted making the main area of the house perfect. Corbyn, Jonah and Zach are painting and putting together everything in the lounge.

everyone is covered in paint, mainly because we just painted each other instead of the wall and there was a point where I fell onto the wall for laughing too hard. the boy's hair is crazy, Zach's had just completely gone flat and Cole's hair is tied back because it was falling in his eyes. Jea and I braided our hair so it's fairly tamed though mine is over in light green paint from when I fell.

"we need a weight for it to stay down," Kyle says

"Jea, Jacks, sit on the mettle part while we do this" Alec suggests, Jea and u put down our paint brushed and sit on the uncomfortable metal bit.

"this feels really awkward" Jea states

"it really does" I agree

"you won't be there for long" Kyle informs

"so, how will it stay down if it's not now?" I ask

"the mattress will weigh it down" Alec replies

"Oh, that makes sense" they put the covers on the springs and stuff then told us to stay there while they put on the mattress. Jea and I had to get up and help them make the bed before we finished off painting and stuff

all the windows and doors were open to let in fresh air and help with the stink of the paint. Music was blasting throughout the house so we had to yell to be heard. it's been so much fun and laughter, and a tone of memories for Jea and I, even Kyle. we have learnt a lot more about each other in this time, one thing is that Cole cannot sing, like at all, and he looks good with his hair tied back.

Kyle and Alec went to help in the main area of the house while Jea and I walk into the lounge. Corbyn, Jonah and Zach turn around hearing us enter, they all have two stripes of brown paint on their cheeks. "what is that?" I ask

"war paint" Corbyn replies

"war paint?" Jea and I say in a questioning tone

"war paint" the three reply grinning, I roll my eyes with a giggle

"need a hand?" I ask pickup up a paint brush and also discreetly placing my other hand in the bucket of brown paint.

"yea, we haven't quite finished" Zach replies, I slap my hand onto the back of his thigh leaving a handprint of brown paint. it's stinking hot in here so everyone is wearing shorts and t-shirt or tank top. "really?" he whines, I giggle.

I feel a hand smack my thigh, Jea left a brown handprint on my thigh, so I whipped whatever paint that was left on my hand on her neck, we both giggle. "wine fa me darlin'" I sing along to the song dancing like nobody was there. 'tip toe' by Jason Derulo was playing and I've learnt all the lyrics just from listening to it with Jea. while painting the wall -and each other- we dance and sing along to the song.

Jea and i use telepathy to come up with a cool plane, something we love to do when dancing. on the beat, we drop at the same time, my paintbrush flying in the air, thank god for plastic sheets. i pick up the paintbrush from the couch and turn back around to see Jonah dropping, I can't hold in my laughter anymore.

"what the hell is going on here?" our attention was brought to Cole standing in the hallway.

"that is a very good question" Corbyn replies

"well have fun with whatever you're doing" he turns around and starts walking away. "but not too much fun!" and there it was. ignoring his comment, we go back to painting the plain wall brown, singing and dancing to whatever song was playing, at the time is a WDW song.

just as we finished the lounge about an hour later, I heard the roller door open. my parents are home. we're complete messes, Corbyn tripped over the paint bucked not now it's all over the plastic-sheet-covered floor and on our feet.

"Guy's we could use a hand!" I call out to the others, Cole, Dylan and Alec come to help. we carefully fold up the sheet, it's a task not to spill any paint on the ground.

"what are you doing in my house!" my father's voice booms through the house

"oh shit" Jea and I exchange a look, this was not going to end well. Jea and I shove our end of the sheet towards the guy and run out to the kitchen where our parents just entered the house. mum looks confused, Dad looks furious, Daniel and Jack look terrified and Kyle is nowhere to be seen.

"mum, dad" I walk up and hug Dad while Jea hugs mum.

"what are you doing here?" mum asks as I hug her

"we renovated the house, these two and a few others are my.... friends from College" I inform them both

"sorry, excuse me," Alec says and the three come through trying to so spill the paint from the sheet. Jea opens the door and everyone steps out of their way so they can throw it in the bin.

"you renovated the whole house?" mum questions, clearly surprised

"yes, it took all of us but we did it" Jea replies

"this is Daniel, Jack, Zach, Jonah, Corbyn, Dylan, Alec and Cole" I introduce everyone. I now notice that Daniel and Jack also have 'war paint' on their faces, they look like idiots. we all stand around nervously and mum and dad search through the newly-done house. ever since we were young, they've had plans on how to turn this into their dream house, I think we just did.

"this is amazing, we must thank you in some way," mum says as they walk back into the kitchen

"no mum, it's was fun, we don't need a payment" Jea states

"but of course, you do" mum agues, "tomorrow we're taking you all out for lunch and you can't argue" she demands.

"We have classes tomorrow" I state

"no you don't, it's a public holiday" it is?

"it is?"

"yes, now you lot go clean yourselves up"
