Someone Like You

Chapter 4

I start unpacking my belongings immediately. I decide to start with my clothes, because that will take me longest.

Between the small dresser and the closet, I was able to find room for all of my beloved clothes. I was even able to line up all of my shoes in the closet. Thank goodness it's big!

Putting my clothes away took me about an hour, because my clothes were already pre-folded for the most part. Being the lazy slob I am, I almost threw my clothes into my bags without folding them first.

Don't get me wrong, I am actually a really organized person. I was just tired, rushed and lazy when I was packing. I am normally really lazy, but still organized.

I am about to move onto my bookshelf items when I feel my stomach growl. The cry for food vibrates my whole torso. I don't normally get hungry, but I guess I am now. I decide to finish unpacking when I get back up.

I am halfway down the stairs when I hear laughing coming from the kitchen. It's then that I remember what Jay said about having friends coming over.

I hesitate for a moment, worried about the people, before I internally scoff at myself. I don't actually care what they think of me, right?

I continue on my way to the kitchen, where my delicious lunch is waiting. I had just entered the kitchen when I involuntarily freeze.

Sitting at the table are my cousin and 3 of the hottest guys I have ever seen.

Honestly! These boys could probably give the sun a run for its money!

I quickly regain composure and walk towards the counter. I make sure that they can all hear me walking, so I don't have to announce myself.

"Who's that?" Asks one guy. He has full dirty-blond hair, and dull brown eyes. He is wearing a white muscle shirt that shows off his sun tanned skin and ripped arms.

"Oh, that's Olivia, my cousin. I literally told you idiots half an hour ago that she is here now. Do you remember this?" Jay says, talking to them like they are children. The blond guy laughs out loud, the done echoing through the kitchen.

"This is the girl that made your nose swell that bad? Bro, toughen up! She's tiny!" The blond guy mocks Jay. At that point, I turn so I can focus on Jay. The blonde guy is right.

Jay's nose isn't broken, but it is red and purple with bruises and swelling. It's not extremely noticeable, but it's big enough that covering it up isn't an option. I let our a quiet chuckle knowing that I did that to him.

The second guy has even, bronze skin and soft green eyes. Short, dark hair sits on top of his head. This one is extremely ripped too, but there is something gentler about him.

He walks up to me, and looks me up and down. After a moment of consideration, he smiles at me, showing off pearly white teeth. "Nice to meet you, Livvy" he says to me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

Out of instinct I reach up and slap his hand off. He immediately pulls his hand back, a looks of shock and amusement glinting in his eyes. "Call me 'Livvy' again, and it may be one of the last things you ever do" I threaten him. I know I should bee making friends, not enemies, but I can't stand that nickname!

For a second, he looks like he is going to snap at me, which fills me with satisfaction. No one gets to call me a name as girly as Livvy and get away with it. Then, to my annoyance, he bursts out laughing.

This only pisses me off more, so I scowl and lean against the counter. I shoot him my nastiest glare, which only makes him laugh harder.

"She's cute and funny. Can we keep her?" He addresses Jay while patting my head, which makes me roll my eyes and slap his and away again. Jay chuckles and walks over to us.
