episode seven : close the door

previously at lilly's house: 

just as teddy gang was going to transform someone decides to knock on the door. smh. 

- 

My plans were ruined. Whoever was on the other side of the door, I already hated them. As Sierra opened the door, her tired expression quickly changed to a happy one.

"HI!", she gleamed and proceeded to hug them. My fists balled up as exasperation filled up in my body.

She moved aside and let a tall man enter the room. I couldn't deny it, he was fairly attractive. He was tall and had pale skin. His hair fell above his thick eyebrows. He had a sharp jaw and just enough baby fat in his cheeks to make him cute. His eyes twinkled as he looked at me. He looked good-natured, like a caring guy.

But nice guys were the most dangerous.

"I actually came to ask if you would like to go out with me today", he asked scratching the side of his head. His eyes rose in anticipation, waiting for her answer.

I glared at him with disgust as he blatantly asked her to go on a date again. I knew it was the same person who Sierra was out with the day the truth had been exposed. It seemed like a coincidence that he was always the one to interrupt important moments like this one. 

"Of course I'll come with you, just wait ten minutes and I'll get ready", she cooed, holding his hands in hers. I didn't understand how they became so close in one date, it was baffling. 

The f*ck? Did she really just bail on me? 

I watched the both of them shamelessly flirt in front of me. The fact that they were ignoring me, who was standing right beside them, made me feel invisible. Sierra skipped up the stairs in glee to get ready for her date.

As she left, I could feel the awkwardness in the atmosphere seep back in. I didn't know what it was, but something didn't feel right. Both of my hands found each other and intertwined in balls of nervousness. I didn't like the way I felt around this guy, he looked scarily amiable. 

I wanted to say something to him but nothing came out of my mouth. There was something definitely wrong with this guy.

"Have you guys gone crazy?".

"But she said she would do anything".

"That doesn't matter".

"We could make her-".

The voices in my head were cut off by Sierra's presence. I looked at her to see if she heard the voices as well, but from her face, I concluded it was just me who could hear them. 

I definitely could recognize the second voice as WinWin. But the first one...I wasn't so sure. Who could it be? Why was I hearing this?

I suspiciously looked at the man standing in front of the door. We both exchanged glances. I could see a glint of eeriness in his eyes. My heart started to beat faster when I realized I would soon be alone in the house. I had to follow along. Also, I couldn't let Sierra be alone with that man.

"Sierra, I don't feel so good. I don't want to stay home alone. Don't leave me here by myself", I pleaded, begging with my hands together.

She seemed to fall for my fake excuses and contemplated it, but the man standing next to her didn't seem to be phased with my antics. 

Would she really choose this guy over me? 

"Hey umm ... can we please bring Lilly with us. She's really sick and I don't think it's a good idea to leave her here by herself", Sierra asked him, resting a hand on his arm.
