"You have to come! You know Scott better than I do. You have to help find out what I can wear!" Cassandra whined. She put her head down and closed her eyes.
"Cassandra, if you are seriously going to cry I'm going to leave this room." I say in a serious tone.
She starts to sniffle "I just want Scott, Scarlett! All I want is him and you can't even take the time to help your sister figure what she can wear to the movies tonight."
"Scott doesn't care what people look like or how they dress, Cass. That's the only tip I'm giving you." Cassandra really thinks that I can fall for all her dramatic weeping. I sometimes just want to scream in her face telling her that Scott wants nothing to do with her but, I'm not. I'm just going to be patient. I don't want to be part of this mess.
Cassandra screamed in frustration and furiously slammed the door. Walking back from my room, Kyle strolls by and rolls his eyes.
"You're really no help to anyone here,Scarlett." Taunts Kyle with a scowl on his face.
"Um,ok?" I retorted. Why does Kyle have to be such an asshole? He always has to butt into drama he is not even involved in. I saunter back to my room to change into some more comfy clothes. I want to go to sleep peacefully. This time I don't want to hear any snoring from the two feet apart or any annoying sisters disturbing me. Just a peaceful sleep where I can actually do stuff without being scolded or taunted. The wonderful,radical, and eccentric feeling of sleep.
It is hard though. It is really hard to sleep through these rough conditions. Chloe whining. Cass also whining about what she's going to wear. I currently hear mom telling me to go back to Cass' room and help pick out what she has to wear.
Usually, I would just call Scott and tell him to go meet me at the lot, but I feel like going alone for today. I have better chances of falling asleep there than at the apartment.
Arriving to the lot, I see Scott laying down peacefully on the grass resting his eyes.
"How am I not surprised that you're here?" I rhetorically ask him. I sit criss-crossed beside him. Scott immediately opens his eyes and yawns. He throws his arms in the air for a huge stretch following with a huge sigh.
"Well, how long was I asleep?" His voice was a little weary from the rest he had.
"I have only just arrived," I answer laying down. "I want to go to sleep."
"Then go to sleep," Scott answers.
"I need you to leave," I continue.
"Oh, you're so nice," Replied Scott. He combed his fingers through his hair and rubbed his eyes. Grabbing his phone, he stands up hastily and smiles. "I've got nothing better to do, anyway."
"You forget about that movie date you made with Cass, didn't you?" I say. I let a little laugh.
"Date?!" Scott yells. "I don't recall making a date with anyone." He sarcastically remarks.
"I'm coming with you of course," I assure. "but, there's no point because Cass will be there to ruin everything."
"I'm not going," He states.
"I won't stop you," I answer. "Maybe she'll like you less. Or hate me more."
"If she hates you more, then I hate her more," Scott scoffs in disbelief. He begins to walk away.
"Since when did you become so nice?" I ask with little grin on my face.
Scott stopped for a second then turned his heels."I told you," Scott began. "calling you my best friend makes me looks a little soft. Besides, do you expect me to be nice,now?"
