Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 4: A Warning from Bethany Collins

(Connor's POV)

I was chatting with Penelope, until we heard footsteps, learning it was James who had just woken up.

"I see you have already met, personally..." James said, rubbing his eyes.

I felt my cheeks heat up so I bowed my head down a little. I noticed Penelope's shocked expression. She stood up from the sofa and dashed to James. She pinched his ear and dragged him to the living room door. The entrance was a bit ajar so I saw what they we're doing and I chuckled to myself. Penelope was somehow pissed off at James and James was just laughing his ass out which I can really say is the reason she got hot-headed.

I was watching them rant on until often comes the time when they were gesturing and pointing their hands to me. Maybe they're talking about me. My eyebrow arched in confusion.

After a few minutes they were finally done arguing. She sat down beside me again on the sofa and James went through the kitchen.

Then she broke the ice, "Sorry 'bout that, James is such a dickhead," she laughed. Oh that sound, I could just listen to that beautiful thing all day.

"You're telling me," I laughed back. Then we burst out laughing.

(Penelope's POV)

After a few moments, our voices faded out and soon after James entered the living room carrying a tray of 3 mugs of hot chocolates. He put the tray down and each of us went for our hot chocolate. Then silence filled the air. At that time James and I were interacting with our stares while sipping on our drink. And luckily Connor was busy focusing on his cup so he wasn't seeing us arguing through our weird stares. The conversation with James went on like this. I tell you, we are damn idiots. And we're happy about it thank you very much.

"Hey dickhead, don't you try to embarrass me infront of Connor about a while ago or you're gonna be a dead meat hanging," I stared firmly.

"Well of course sizzy! Of course we wouldn't want Concon over there finding out your sweet little secret, would we?" James stared, trying to be girly as ever.

I gave him a death glare, which, fyi, could already kill anyone with my feisty glances.

I kicked his leg under the coffee table and he screeched in pain. Hot choco was mostly splattered in his chest. "You lil' bitch! Ughhh Penny!" He howled.

I stood up quickly from the sofa started running away from the ugly coyote. We ran around: through the living room, the kitchen, dining room, and throughout the halls, screaming, "You can't run away from me Penny!" "Nuh-uh! I have faster legs than you doofus!" "No you don't!" "Yes I do! You're like an ugly coyote Jems!" "Don't you ever call me Jems!"

Connor can't stop laughing and he wanted to stop us but he was too preoccupied by happiness.

Not long after, I heard moans, specifically annoyed moans. The others were already awake and was trying to get the sleep out of them.

"What the hell is all that noise about? Can't you see that we are having our beauty sleep?" a curly-haired boy, who I assumed was Brad, snapped; making us, the two scumbags stop dead in our tracks.

"Oops," James muttered. "Sorry guys, but I'm not the one you should be yelling at. It's her fault!" he continued, pointing to me but realized I wasn't there; I was behind James hiding.

"Oh right we should be yelling at no one," the other one spoke up, more of like a blondie boy, which was Tristan, said, rolling his eyes. I giggled while I was trying to hide behind James. He noticed I was behind his shadows. He dragged me by my arm out from behind and I was just hiding my face under my large puffy hair.
