13. Petty Palace

My heart was racing as I stood in Evee's door way looking at down at my phone. Should I do it? Should I really try to find her. She's literally dressed in a devil costume. How much of a sign do I need?

I rolled my eyes. Why was I even thinking of trying to find her? She doesn't get to be a bitch to me and make me chase her... I mean she hasn't been a bitch lately but no.

I took the elevator down to the living room where the party was going on. I might as well turn up.

As soon as it opened I saw Sophie. She was at the kitchen door leaning against it. I swear I didn't scope her out on purpose but somehow she caught my eye past all the people.

She smiled as I walked up.

"You found me.." she said before opening the door. She gestured like she wanted me to walk at first. I did and she followed.

"Devil... that's fitting" I said looking around her backyard. I was here when the landscapers were out here hanging up purple and orange lights.

She chuckled then scoffed. "I could say the same to you... a spoiled bitch who pretends to be poor for fun."

I gasped "I don't pretend to be poor!"

"Please, I heard you complementing the house and kissing Evee's feet the first time you came over" she said lighting a joint.

"Is that weed?" I asked looking at her suspicious.

She looked at me while she hit it and chuckled after blowing the smoke out like I was ridiculous. "No... it's a ballon." She said sarcastically. "You're not going to make me believe you've never smoked weed when you've been around Evee..."

She said holding out the joint. I took it but still felt like it was kinda sus.

"She was literally addicted. My parents sent her to rehab a year ago.. addiction issues and abandonment issues... she's a handful."

"Why would you say all that?" I asked hitting the blunt.

"Oh... I thought she told you." She said pretending to be surprised. It would've fooled anybody else who looked into those blue eyes.. but I'm used to her shit.

"Well she at least told you her parents died right?"

I looked away. Damn why is she always so cold?

"Yea... you didn't heave to say it like that"

"What? They did die. That's where her abandonment issues came from. If anything she should be thanking me for allowing my parents to take her in.. she seems to be ungrateful lately. I could've said no and she could've been living with some middle class, ye ye's in the middle of nowhere"

"why did you make me come out here?... to smoke with you?" I asked. I didn't want to talk about Evee anymore. I know Sophie teases all the time but that shit felt disrespectful as fuck.

"Well... yea, I just wanted to get away from the party.. smoke and chill... and you're my friend. Not too bad to look at either."

"You've been a bitch to me since I got to this school.. why would we be friends?"

"So you're going to act like you don't like the chase?" Sophie asked taking the blunt back from me.

I sucked my cheeks in and looked away. We never talk about our little game.. the way we go back and forth.

She smiled "exactly" she said blowing her smoke out.

She handed it back.

"So do you like my costume?" She asked giving me a swirl.
