*TWO WEEKS LATER*
It's been two weeks with me pretending like I don't know about my best friend and my brother and yet another movie night. Except, we pushed this one to Friday night instead of Saturday because the boys wanna continue doing a little pre-practice to get back in shape before they start championship practice next Friday. However, everything's been the same just going to school avoiding Jordan, considering we had a fight two weeks ago and hadn't spoken since, but um, yeah, everything is peachy.
Also I just realized that we haven't gotten back to our parents with what we choose our lives to be like. She said she wasn't gonna pressure us to choose at all if we didn't want to but I don't know what to choose. It's either I live my life how I lived it a year ago and pretend like this crazy world around me doesn't exist, or I could just join the crazy world I live in. I don't know what to do anymore and honestly I'm tired of pretending. I've done enough of that for the past three weeks.
"Ara?" Mariah called my name breaking me out of my trans.
"Hm?" I turned to her.
"Wanna suggest a movie?" She looked at me with pure worry.
"Um.. Yeah. The Nun." I said with a small smile.
"No! I hate scary movies." Mariah protested with a pout curling up on the couch under the blanket.
"You don't hate them you're just terrified of them." Kaiden added and I chuckled.
"Shut the fuck up Theodore." We all shared a laughed. He hates that name just as much as Noah hates Tadamien. I got up and headed to the kitchen signaling Mariah to follow me and she did. I decided to ask her to see if she'd tell me the truth. I'm tired of pretending.
"Are you and my brother dating?" I asked abruptly and she looked startled by my question.
"W-what?" She stammered before looking to see if the boys heard us or were paying any attention.
"Are you and my brother dating?" I asked again, softer this time.
"What makes you think that?" Her face churned to confusion.
"I don't know. You guys have just gotten awfully close during summer and I just have my suspicions." She chuckled and at that point I knew she was lying,
"Wow Ara. No, we're not dating." My entire mood plummeted like New York's temperature in winter. If she had told me the truth I wouldn't have been upset, hell I wasn't upset that they were dating from the beginning but the fact that she just lied straight to my face makes this a whole new ball game. So I decided to ask again and give her another chance.
"I'm gonna ask again. Are you and my brother dating Riah? I'm serious." She went from confused to angry. Bitch! I'm the only one who should be angry!
"Wow. Why are you asking me?! You seem to already have the answer. Its bad enough you're indirectly calling me a liar." THAT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE! AND AS MUCH AS I WANT TO GET THIS OFF OF MY CHEST! I'M DYING EVEN MORE TO SEE HOW FAR YOU'RE WILLING TO GO.
She stormed off in a cute fit of rage.
If only she knew that she could never lie to me.
