Watch Me Prove You Wrong

Chapter Two: "Since when did you use British terms of endearment"

Chapter Two- "Since when did you use British terms of endearment?"

 After a 30 minute drive from the airport, through the town, we turned onto their street and pulled into their driveway. Uncle Keith and Aunt Tia said they had to go get some things for my room, so Safyre Ryker and I had the house to ourselves for a few hours.

 "So, what do you wanna do for the time being?" Ryker ask, plopping on to the couch.

 "Meh... I guess I should unpack, " I said, shrugging. I knew it wouldn't take that long, since I only have two bags, not including my backpack. Most of my clothes were burnt in the fire. I was lucky that I left my bag in my parents' car that night or starting school mid semester with nothing to go by would of been hell.

 Ryker nodded and showed me to my room, while Safyre went to go change for some reason. My room was at the end of the hall next to Ryker's room and two down room Safyre's. Ryker opened the door to my room, dropped my bags and hopped onto my bed. I turned on the lights, rolling my eyes at how ''helpful'' he was, and looked around, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

 "Wow, this place doesn't change, huh?" The place still had the same burgundy walls and midnight blue carpeting. The queen sized bed was now a dark blue instead of the frilly lilac from when I was younger.

 "Yup. Still the same. We even kept the glow-in-the-dark stars, " he said pointing to the ceiling, adorned with little plastic stickers. "We had to take those jelly sticker off though. They started to melt and stain the window. Dad got pissed 'caused it took forever to get the dinosaurs off, " he said, pointing out the faint green tints in the window.

 I nodded and smiled, remembering our childhood. "So, I think you should get out."

 "Uh, why?" he asked, confused.

"'Cause I wanna change outta these clothes. It smells like airport, " I while scrunching my face up.

 He looked at me and quickly headed out my door, "Riiight. Gotcha. Come down when your done. You can unpack later and I'm hungry."

 I took off my sweats and changed into some jean shorts, a yellow tank top and my color block hoodie. I went downstairs to find Ryker sitting on the counter top eating a banana. I raise my eyebrow at him, "A banana? You hate bananas."

 "Meh... Hunger beat personal tastes, " he said, shrugging and eating his banana.

 I finished pouring a glass of iced tea, when Safyre came bounding down the stairs in a floral dress. With the way she was smiling I was surprised her face didn't freeze. She sat down on one of the stool next to the island and was bouncing with excitement.

 "You excited for something, Saf?" I ask handing her a glass.

 "Yup! I finally get to see my mate!" Through the corner of my eye I saw Ryker shake his head at her, almost warningly. "Uh... I mean... my friend, " she corrected herself, nervously.

 I looked at her oddly, "Mate?" Both Safyre and Ryker stiffened slightly. I eyed them suspiciously then laughed, "Since when did you use British terms of endearment?" They visibly relaxed as I said the last part of the sentence. I tilted my head to the side a little at how odd they were acting, but then shook my head. Just them being them.

 Safyre laughed nervously; her eyes darted over to Ryker, "Well... you know. It's... 'in' these days..." I gave her a skeptical look. Before I could question her further, we heard the door open and Safyre mumble something along the lines of 'Thank God'.

 She jump from her seat and launched her self at the person who interrupted my interrogation. From what I could see, the guy had blond hair and was kind of muscular. I could see anything else 'cause his face was glued to Safyre's. I let them have their privacy by grabbing Ryker's arm and pulling him to the living room.

 "Who was that and why is he sucking Safyre's face off?" I ask an amused looking cousin of mine.

 "That was Safyre's boyfriend, Jason Clark, " he answer, after sprawling onto the couch.

 I nodded, " Ahh... Wait! What? Boyfriend?! Safyre!!! Get yourself in here! Now!!!"

 I stood in front of, a very flushed looking, Safyre and her boyfriend with my hand on my hips. I eyed both of them carefully. Safyre blushed and looked at anything but me and her 'boyfriend' rubbed the back of his neck nervously and looked at Ryker for help. Yup, that's right. Even thought I'm younger than them doesn't mean I can't be intimidating when I want to. Ryker shook his head at him and continued to watch us. 

 I raised an eyebrow at he and Safyre's conjoined hands, "Care to explain something that you have yet to tell me?"

 She smiled sheepishly at me before answering, " Lena. I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Jason. Jason, " she pushed her boyfriend in front of me, " this is my very scary little cousin, Elena."

 I ignored his extended hand and just stared at him with my arms crossed. He had sky blue eyes and was slightly tanned. He rubbed the back of his neck and laughed nervously, " Uh huh... Um... Saf? Can we go now?"

 I smirked at how nervous he was. Safyre noticed this and gave me a look meaning 'You-better-not-be-doing-what-i-think-you-are'. I innocently shrugged and turned to Jason, "You better not hurt her. Or else..., " I made a cutting motion with my hand.

 He gulped with his eyes wide, "I would never hurt my mate." He looked at Safyre like they we're having a silent conversation. "I mean.. uh.. my girlfriend. Yeah, that."

 I raised an eyebrow at his use of the word 'mate', but shrugged it off and headed back to the couch. I sighed, "Them and their British-ness." When I looked back at Safyre and Jason they quickly headed out the door. I briefly heard Jason saying that he thinks I'm scary and smiled at a laughing Ryker.

"That was hilarious. He looked like he was gonna piss himself, " He held his hand out for a high-five, which I gladly accepted.

 "Aye, someone's gotta make sure her doesn't mess anything up, " I said smugly, "So, what'd you do when you met him?"

 "I gave him the 'Brother Talk' and told him if he screws anything up he would wake up with tubes going through him."

 I nodded appreciatively, "Nicely done. So, when do I start school?"

 "You're starting school Tuesday, since Mom registered you before picking you up and not yesterday. So, you have today and tomorrow to get some stuff you need. I'll stay home tomorrow to go with you since Safyre's probably busy with Jason, because she's going back on Wednesday."

 "Okay. So... Does Aunt Tia have my schedule or do I have to pick it up on Tuesday?"

 "Tuesday, but don't worry. I've requested that you have most classes with me or one of my friends to keep an eye on you."

 "Keep an eye on me? Why? I just made Safyre boyfriend run outta here like a dog with his tail between his leg. Pretty sure I can handle some sophomores, "I said giving him an incredulous look.

 He started laughing, " True, true. You never know though, Ley. Some of them can be pretty scary. You know those typical high school cliches. The vulnerable new girl gets swept off her feet by the popular guy or the bad boy, " he said fluttering his eye dramatically.

 I looked the strange person I'm supposedly related to, "Dude, you sound gay. No offense to gay people, but yeah. That's a sad impersonation of a girl."

 "Pfft... you just jelly."
