Making Friends...

Chapter fourteen, step four

       I wasn't aloud to be a part of step four, for the sole reason that he "wouldn't say anything if I was there" as Shy had put it. She decided to invite Noah down for a movie, Ian was at his house, Larisa and Sebastian went away on some sort of vacation thing, Remington was hanging out with some friends and Trevor was working, oh! And I was supposed to pretend to be in a bad mood and leave Shy with Noah, that's what I was about to do actually.

       Shy and I just finished washing up the dishes from dinner that we made and ate quietly with Noah. This is where the bad mood begins, Noah was still sitting at the table but was now on his phone.

"Are you going home?" I asked Shy with a sigh like she told me to do as I tossed the towel aside

"No, I thought we were going to hang out tonight, watch a movie? It's been a while since we've done that"

"Not tonight Shy, I'm tired and just feel like going to bed"

"But we planned this Emerson" Shy groaned as she drained the sink

"I'm just not in the mood okay, just go home, I'll text you tomorrow"

"What if I don't want to go home? I was promised a movie, by you, and you promised we'd hang out"

"I know what I said Shy, you don't need to remind me"

"Then why don't you stick to your promises?"

"Because maybe I didn't mean it! Just leave me alone, go home and I'll text you tomorrow for fucks sake!"

"Fuck you Emerson"

"I'm not sure you wanna do that"

"You know what? Fine, go to your room, maybe I'll just watch a movie with Noah here, you're not busy are you Noah?" Shy turned her intimidating glare to Noah who looked up from his phone and sighed, almost if he was trying his best to stay out of this.

"I actual- no I don't" Noah cut himself off when Shy crossed her arms over her chest

"Fantastic, let's watch a movie"

       Shy walked over to Noah and dragged him out of the room, he looked over to me probably hoping I'd save him but I just glared and turned around to put the towel away. I stayed in the kitchen for another five minutes before leaving and passing through the living room, right past the tv which made Shy sigh loudly, they had already picked a movie and Noah was uncomfortably sitting next to Shy. I walked up to my room and made sure to slam it loudly. Not even ten minutes after I went to my room did I get a text from Noah,

Noah: Help me, she put on a romance movie

Emerson: why should I help you with her?

Noah: she's your best friend, be friends

Emerson: no, leave me alone

      I threw my phone onto my bed and pulled out my drawing stuff, I put on some music and drew. A few hours later Shy was throwing rocks at my window. I got up from my desk and opened my window to see Shy smiling like a maniac.

"I'm coming up" Shy yelled

"Have fun climbing the tree" I called back and went to sit back at my desk, leaving my window open.

       Three minutes later Shy was crawling through my window and slamming it shut then sitting on my bed. Her smile still looked like the one painted on the jokers face.
