14// Squirrel In My Pants!

Daphne's POV

"Girl, you're obsessed with him," Natalia, my best friend, said whilst applying mascara on her smokey eyes. We were already running late for school. Considering the time she woke up this morning, the amount of time she takes a long-ass shower, and to apply her 'makeup of the day'. Oh, and she hasn't even picked her outfit yet!

I rolled my eyes in response and kept on tweedling my fingers on my lap. She continued on adding the final touches on her makeup, (Which, may I say, looks like she just got murdered by a bunch of Crayolas. No offense though. But she looks better with no makeup on.)

"Do I look okay?" She asked,  twirling her hair with an iron and raising her eyebrows. I stood up and grabbed a paper towel beside the table.

"Wait, you put too much lipstick here," I quickly rubbed the paper towel on her lips and smothered the whole thing on her face.

"Oh no you didn't!" Natalia screamed. Causing me to jump back a little bit.

"Oh yes I did," I smirked at her. She isn't normally the type of girl you want to mess with. It's fun to mess around with your best friend, but if you mess with Natalia, you'll probably end up in the hospital. Or worse. Straight to the morgue.

She tackled me on the bed and almost ripped my head into pieces as she pinned down my body on the bed. I squirmed around and tried to get her grip out of my body. But, it was no use. It was a complete epic fail.

Damn, this girl got muscles.

"Nat, I'm sorry. Can you please let go of my arm. I think it's starting to burn because of your grip. By the way, when did you get so fudging strong?" I scribbled. She stopped shaking me and I feel that her grip on my arm is loosening up a bit.

Thank God for creating me!

"What in the world is happening here?"

We quickly snapped our heads as Natalia smiled.

"Oh, hi mum!" She greeted with a cheery voice.

She pulled away and straightened herself up. Her mum just looked at her with a serious face whilst she put on a wide jolly smile. Natalia's mum tilted her head to the side and raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, hi there Daphne!" She greeted me. Her voice wasn't stiff and hard like the way she greeted her own daughter but this time, it was more sweet and lovely.

"Hi Mrs. Woods, your daughter here is being very very bad today," I chuckled. A small smirk crept up its way to my mouth making Natalia's eyes bulge out of its eyelids. She mouthed a 'no' to me whilst I just sat there and smiled at her reaction.

"What was that, honey?" Mrs. Woods faced Natalia and raised her eyebrows. She walked towards her daughter and kept a straight face whilst Natalia just stood there with a blank one. Her face looked like she was going to kill somebody.

Me.

I snorted as I tried to keep myself from bursting into fits of laugher. I really shouldn't hold back my laughter because if I did I'd have a 50/ 50 chance of dying right now or I'd eventually die because I don't have enough oxygen in my lungs. Damn you, lungs!

"Excuse us Daphne," Mrs. Woods excused herself and Natalia and walked out the room. I looked at Daphne and put on an evil grin as I waved her goodbye. She mouthed, 'I'll get you back for this, Hampton,' and I stuck out my toungue in reply.

The door closed as soon as I thought. I played with my fingers as I waited for their mother-to-daughter conversation to end. I hummed a tune that was stuck in my head for days now, but I can't figure out its title. I think i's Blank Race? No, it's Clanked Space? I can't remember. All I know is that it's a song by Taylor Swift and it's so damn catchy!
