Chapter Seventeen

Cher’s POV

            I climbed out of my hiding spot in a cramped cabinet because I heard the doorbell ring. Since I knew Spencer would be too lazy to answer her own door, I got up to do it. I stretched my muscles, which now ached due to being in an extremely uncomfortable position, and groaned at every step I took. Whoever was at the door better be thankful that I was going to answer it for them. I slowly twisted the doorknob and the door creaked open. A girl shrieked when I came into her view and she jumped on top of me.

“CHER!” She screamed.

“SYDNEY!” I yelled back.

She pulled away and jumped up and down.

“I’ve missed you, Spencer, and Chris so much! How’s everyone been?” She asked.

“They’re good. I think they’re waiting downstairs for you!”

“Sweet. I’m gonna go surprise them!” She said.

“Syd, they knew you were coming…”

“Yeah, but still… It’ll be like a small surprise!” Sydney said.

“Nah, Syd, I don’t think it works that way.”

“Come on Cher, don’t be such a party pooper!”

“Okay… No party pooping for me…” I muttered.

I followed her downstairs where Spencer and Chris were “casually” waiting on the couch for Sydney.

“MY FAVORITE TWINS!” Sydney shrieked at the top of my lungs.

“MY FAVORITE ONLY CHILD!!!!” Spencer and Chris screamed at the same time.

“MY POOR EARS!” I mimicked them.

All three of them gave me a death glare and I just shrugged my shoulders. I analyzed the room in great detail and I didn’t manage to find any of the boys. Hm, peculiar… They are very good at hide and seek, or in this case, “Hide-From-Sydney”.

“Guess what guys? I almost got One Direction tickets but they freaking sold out. I was so mad. I locked myself in my room for a week. My mom called a psychiatrist but I knew I wasn’t crazy so I just told him that we were hiring an exorcist instead and he never called back. Isn’t that weird? Oh, Spencer, do you still have a crush on Zayn? Oh my gosh. My brain is running a million miles an hour right now…” Sydney babbled in one breath.

“Holy crap, Syd…” I said.

“What?”
