"Ah! Human beings!"
"..."
"Maven?"
"Yeah, Cal?"
"Who the hell are these 7 hot guys? They're giving me anxiety."
In which a girl's best friend introduces her to a bunch of boys.
Here's the catch.
All of them are REALLY hot.
‼️All of this is a work of...
"I'm so sorry will you please excuse us." I give a small smile to all the boys and drag Maven out of the room and into the hall, around the wall so they can't see us.
"Dude," I let go of his collar and he leans back to full height. "I want an explanation."
"This is what I was trying to explain from before." Maven sighs and shakes his head but continues. "All 7 are my friends, they're staying here for a while and I wanted you to meet them."
"What?" I say, taken aback. "You want me to befriend a bunch of strangers because they are your friends.?"
Maven makes a face. "Well, when you put it that way it sounds bad but...that's basically it."
"Maven, why you do this to me?" I whine. "You know how shy I am around people I don't know, especially boys."
"Aw come on, Cal, you were awkward around me and the boys when we first met but then you got better, why not give these guys a chance like you gave me and the other guys?"
I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. "Why do I need to meet them anyways, they're your friends, not mine."
"Because—" Maven drags the end of the word, putting emphasis on the 'E's. "—I'm going to be hanging out with them often and that means so are you."
"Why do you do this to me?" I ask, looking at him tiredly.
"Just come will you?" He grabs my hand.
"Wow, calm yourself, child. Tomorrow." I rip my arm from his grasp.
"Huh?" He gives me a puzzled expression.
"Tomorrow, I will meet your friends tomorrow." I answer.
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Because I said so."
"But why did you say—"
"Okay!" I give up as Maven grins in victory. "I'll meet them tomorrow because I'm really tired and all, just tell them I'm feeling unwell and that I really want to meet them but I'm not feeling good."
"Okay." He finally complies.
"You can bring your buddies over at 12." I give him the time.
"12 midnight." Maven purposely acts like an idiot.
"No, you—" I sigh and shake my head, deciding not to argue with him, no one would win anyway. "—12 in the afternoon."
"Okay." Maven begins to walk away.
I listen to the sound of Maven's shoes clicking on the marble floors.
Wait.
Shoes.
Shoes! I'm going to kill him for walking around in my house with shoes. That child is dead.
"Sorry guys," I hear Maven taking to his friends. "Calypso is not feeling well, you can meet her tomorrow."
Sounds of disappointment can be heard amongst the sound of people talking. I guess they really did want to meet me.
"Aw, I hope she feels better." A deep voice says.
"Yeah, I hope she isn't sick." A friendly and upbeat voice says.
"Nah, she is just a bit under the weather and all, she's nice not sick or anything." Maven replies.
Wow, Maven's friends seem really nice. They don't even know me yet they are worried about my health. The might look intimidating but they seem like really good people.
"Yeah, so we should get going." Maven says, followed by the sound of footsteps going towards the door.
Towards me.
They're going to see me!
I scramble to find a hiding place. I just go for the easiest place to hide and open the closet with all the coats in it, wedging myself between two of my winter coats and doing my best to close the door from the inside. The door remains slightly open because of my inability to close it properly. Don't judge. It's hard to close a door when there is no handle on the door.
"So is she your girl?" Another voice, this one different from the other two.
"Oh god no! Me and her? Never. She is like my little sister." Maven says.
What he said is right, never could I imagine...him and I. Sure, Maven is good looking and all, tall with pitch black hair and intense grey eyes but it's just a straight no. I think I might throw up from thinking about it, but I can't help but think...dude...did I just get friend zoned?
"So I'm guessing she is single then?" A different voice asks.
"Nah, she has a boyfriend, and he is a straight up f**kboy." Maven says.
Really? I know Maven doesn't really like Dexter but does he have to call him that? I don't even get why he dislikes him, Dexter is such a sweet and nice guy, he really is but for some reason, Maven has hated him from day one. I know 'hate' is a strong word but it's true. As a matter of fact, I'd say that Maven despises him and I don't know why. Maybe they have some sort of 'beef' with each other, but whatever it is, it's serious.
"Oh, okay." That voice replies to Maven's answer.
With that I heat the door close, signaling that all of them have left.
