Chapter 2

Chloe's POV

My phone was buzzing. A LOT. I finally decided to pick it up and see what was happening.

JoltikAndJolteon: HELP

JoltikAndJolteon: SOMETHINGS GOIN ON

JoltikAndJolteon: @UnFuckable

JoltikAndJolteon: @UnFuckable

UnFuckable: WHAT DO YOU WANT.

JoltikAndJolteon: I heard Sarah and Madison talking outside my door. James has some sort of secret that Sarah says we would be accepting of and James said he might tell us today!!!!

UnFuckable: ooo

JoltikAndJolteon: come downstairs so we can figure out wtf is goin on

UnFuckable: mk

I slowly pulled myself out of bed and walked out the door. I half walked half fell down the stairs and into the living room, where I just lay on the floor for a solid 15 minutes.

"Chloe you oki?" Allison's voice snapped me out of my stupor. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, trying to wake myself up.

"Yeah I'm just tired," I responded groggily, my voice sounding like a cat scratching on a wall. 

 "Chloe, do you have any idea what time is is?" Allison laughed, "It's 3:30 P.M." Allison was laughing so hard, the others came into the living room.

"What's going on?" James said, slightly concerned.

"Chloe just woke up," Allison said between bursts of laughter.

"Sounds about right," Sarah said, only smiling slightly at the whole situation.

"Well, you missed breakfast, lunch, and we've been snacking for the past two hours. Way to go," Allison said, her laughter finally calming down.

"Hey! We had a late night last night!" I argued, doing my best to defend myself.

"You got 14 hours of sleep. I think you'll live," Madison offered his hand to help me up. I took it and slightly teetered as I regained my balance.

"Well, me and Chloe are gonna go to the upstairs lounge to play VR," Allison ran up the stairs, taking each step two at a time.

"Upstairs?? But I just got downstairs!" I complained, trudging slowly after her. When I got to the lounge I flopped onto the couch. My plans to sleep for another hour was thwarted by Allison talking really loudly and quickly.

"MkaysowhatdoyouthinktheyrehidingfromustheysaidweshouldbeabletounderstandbutiwannaKNOOOW."

"Use English words. Please," I said.

Allison took a deep breath and slowed down her words, "What do you think they're hiding from us? It's something that Sarah said we should be able to understand, but it seems kinda personal to James. He also said he might tell us today based on our impression I'm guessing, but how're we supposed to know what impression to give if we don't know what he's gonna tell us. UGH." I just kinda stared at her, then I flopped in the couch for the second time today. It was nice, cool leather...

"CHLOE WAKE UP," Allison screamed at me, making me jump off the couch and land on my face.

"HEY!!" I screamed back, scrambling onto my feet and chasing after her. Allison just laughed and ran all around the house. At one point, we passed James in the kitchen. He was just staring at us, obviously really confused. We ignored him. We rushed into the game room where we just happened to knock Sarah onto the ground. She tackled both of us and dragged us into the living room.

She sat us down on the couch and told us to wait there. She went into the kitchen where we saw James, and brought him into the living room as well.

"Apologize to Madison for being stupid in his house," Sarah said sternly. Me and Allison both grumbled annoyed apologies at him, and James just looked really confused. Again.

Living here was gonna be fun. 

*I told you chapters were going to be shorter. Maybe I'll make them a bit longer :)*
