"The best memories come from bad ideas done with best friends." -UnknownEDEN emerged from her room, her stomach begging for some snacks. At least, she was trying to convince her stomach she wasn't just eating because she was bored. Eden stopped to look at her belly in the full length mirror Brynn had picked up at some vintage store. She turned to the side and examined it more closely. Was she hungry or was she just eating to eat? Eden started to nibble on her nails, a habit picked up from the stressful days spent being the target of all the yelling at her mother's ballet studio. She stopped herself by shoving her hands into her pockets.
"Hey. Are you secretly pregnant or something?" A familiar voice said, leaning against the doorframe. Eden spun around, awkwardly. She forced a huge smile on her face, because that was what she was supposed to do. She was supposed to be happy all the time, unfortunately.
"Ha. Ha, no. Of course not, Chase. Why would I be pregnant? This girl's not expecting." Eden said, dryly. Chase laughed, and it made Eden melt inside. Eden wanted to run back into her room and scream into her pillow because of how awkward she was acting. With the Doritos in tow, of course.
Chase walked towards her, and his eyebrows were furrowed in concern. "You alright? You seem a little off." He remarked, searching her expression for any signs of sickness. Eden tensed at the proximity of their bodies. Goodness, Eden. Get a grip. He's not even that close.
"I'm fine," Eden said. "I'm fine." She added for extra emphasis. Chase's gaze lingered a second longer, and he raised his hands in mock surrender.
"Okay. As long as you say you're fine." Chase said, with a touch of sadness in his voice. What's up with him? Eden quickly pushed any questioning thoughts away. Chase was an open book, only if you knew how to read him. He sidled past Eden into their small kitchen to make a quick midnight snack. "Where is everything?" He questioned, opening cupboards furiously. "Gosh, is Kai hoarding snacks under his covers again?!" He exclaimed, finding no snacks in the cupboards or fridge.
"Kai! Get your-!" He was cut off by Eden's death grip on his arm. She pointed to Sage and Brynn's rules to a peaceful life.
