CH.20: IMPROMPTU

"From now on... we're siblings." I decided.

"What?! Why?! Just because you told your photographer that?!" Luke didn't like the idea at all.

"Not only because of that. I gave it a lot of thought yesterday and since we're living together, I think it's a best excuse for a cover up just in case someone finds out our circumstances... unless you decide not to live with me anymore." I only thought of an easy solution to my problem.

"No!"

"That's what I thought."

"But I don't wanna be your younger brother..." He pouted.

"It's just an act, Luke."

"Well, how come we don't have the same family name?" He folded his arms across his chest.

"Let's just say our parents are divorced."

"You're way too good at lying. You could be a con artist for that matter!" I'm not sure if he's praising me or what.

"By the way, how'd it go last night?" I had to ask.

"What?"

"The dinner. Was the food good?"

"Yes..." He squinted his eyes at me for some reason.

"I can't believe I didn't get to eat! It's all my stupid menstruation's fault!" It was an emergency.

"Oh. You mean, you didn't leave us on purpose?" He asked.

"Why would I leave on purpose if the food's delicious? That's just crazy." I do love food.

"See you in school." I added as I picked up my bag.

"Wait! You should skip the drama club today..." He adviced.

"Why? Today's the general rehearsal for our play so how can I possibly skip it?"

"Um... so that we could go home early together?"

"It's Friday! Friday!" Louis sang creepily.

"Stop it, please. Wait, why aren't you wearing your tin man costume?" I noticed him wearing a captain of the ship outfit instead.

"Change of plans! We're doing 'Titanic' instead." Louis smiled.

"WHAT?!" Bridgit fumed.

"But I already memorized my line..." Liam complained even though he only has a single word to say.

"Don't worry, your new character doesn't have any lines this time. I made sure of it." Louis patted the guy's shoulder.

"This is ridiculous." I spat out.

"Oh, you think I'm not serious about this? You see, I just met someone who's perfect for the role of 'Jack' and then BOOM! Inspiration! Thus, we're doing 'Titanic'." Louis explained.

"Who? Niall?" I asked.

"Me." Zayn showed up wearing a 'Jack Dawson' outfit.

What the?

"He isn't even blonde." I commented.

"That's what I've been telling him. I so wanted to do the role." Niall agreed with me as he glared at his friend, Louis.

"And guess who's playing Rose?" Louis chirped.

"Her?" I pointed at Bridgit.

"No! I AM SO NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE! You know how much time I spent on memorizing my lines as Dorothy who has the most lines by the way?! I'm out." Bridgit quits then she walks off.
