The Nine and a Love (ON HIATUS)

6.

Evelyn and Aaleyah made inside their room and soon they prepare to go to bed. Aaleyah laid down on her bed and turned to face Evelyn who was leaned against the headboard and was busy checking on her phone.

"Evelyn," Aaleyah voiced softly to which Evelyn hummed in reply before looking at her. "Did you really punch Carson?" She asked in a chirpy tone. Evelyn simply nodded at her. Aaleyah eyes glistened in complete excitement and smilingly straightened up on her position. "You beat Nelson too then!" Evelyn nodded at her again. "How did you know that Nelson drugged Emilia?"

"I didn't know actually. I don't really know how Emilia is, but I was sure that she is not that type of person to be—you know, doing the naughty stuff," Evelyn shrugged off.

"Yup, Emilia isn't that type of girl," Aaleyah assured her.

"And I didn't like the way that guy was touching her," Evelyn said in tetchy tone. "I decided to take Emilia back to the dorm but that guy was not letting her go, I got pissed and grabbed him by his hair and accused him for drugging her." She added lazily.

"Honestly, I was not sure if he was the one who drugged her but those guys proved me right," Evelyn said under her frowning.

"You didn't even start your first day in college and yet everyone is talking about you already," Aaleyah said in an amused tone.

"I don't care what people talk about me." Evelyn drawled and rolled her eyes over.

"Damn girl, you give a tomboyish vibe, I'm already falling for you." Aaleyah teased giving her a wide slyish grin.

"I'm straight," Evelyn said under her chuckle.

"You are very beautiful, Evelyn. I saw many guys checking you out at the party." Aaleyah said and give her a sly look. "Do you have a boyfriend?" She asked.

"Yes, three of them, they are my life," Evelyn answered referring indirectly to her brothers.

"What!! Really!!" Aaleyah shot up from the bed and exclaimed in surprised.

"No, I'm talking about my brothers," Evelyn said and shuffled into sleeping position. Aaleyah rolled her eyes over before going back to her former position.

"So yes or no?"

"No, I don't do boyfriend-girlfriend things." Evelyn idled.

"So you were never in a relationship?" Aaleyah asked curiously.

"No,"

"You are one hard girl to fall in love!" Aaleyah said, narrowing her eyes at Evelyn. "I'm pretty sure that many guys have asked you out already," She said, making Evelyn to snort out loud in amusement. "What's so funny? Tell me too." Aaleyah said cheerfully.

"Nothing, goodnight, Aaleyah," Evelyn told and quickly cover her head with the duvet. Aaleyah face fell and pouted at her.

"I'll make sure that you'll be open to us one day, goodnight, my tomboy," Aaleyah chirped before switching off the lamp over the nightstand.

Evelyn was getting ready for college While Aaleyah was still on her bed, dreaming. She sighed looking at her before roughly pulling the cover away from Aaleyah's body.

"Wake up, Sunshine. If you don't get ready now, you'll be late for class." Evelyn said and threw the cover to the corner of the bed. Aaleyah let out a whinig noise as she shuffled on her bed and pushed herself to a sitting position.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a morning person. I missed five of my morning classes." Aaleyah said, stretching her arms wide and yawning in its all glory.

"I'm not surprised," Evelyn deadpanned before going to her table.
