*editing* Is This What You Call A Family?

Chapter Nine

"Hey, do you wanna come to ours after school?" I asked Eve as we walked down to the tree together. She smiled and nodded.

We were first there and sat against the tree.

"I'll ask my mum though." She told me. I nodded.

"I'll ask my mum too." I chuckled, pulling my phone out of my pocket then dialling her number.

"Hey darling, are you ok? Do you need me to pick you up?" She asked worriedly. I chuckled at her.

"No mum, I'm fine, about coming home, I think I might walk." I replied. She must have been slightly shocked down the phone because she didn't say anything for a minute.

"Erm yeah sure, is Ethan bringing Holly tonight?" Mum asked.

"I think so, I'll ask when they get here, but I have question." I replied, smiling slightly.

"Oh, ok, what's up sweet?" She replied.

"Ok, so I was wondering if my friend Eve could come round tonight?" I asked.

"Of course darling! Staying for dinner or sleeping?" She asked. I moved the phone away from my ear and asked Eve.

"She says it depends what her mum says. So I'll text you later, ok?" I told her just as everyone else sat down.

"Of course that's great!" I could practically feel mum's massive smile down the other end of the phone.

"Hey Holly, you coming round ours again tonight? I asked her. She nodded.

"Ok, Holly is coming round again tonight. I'll text you later, see ya."

"Bye sweet, love you."

"Love you too mum, bye." I smiled, hanging up.

"What's was that about?" Ethan asked.

"We're gonna walk home, Eve also might be coming." I replied. Ethan nodded. I looked over at Eve, who was texting her mum.

"She said I'm allowed to stay over but I have to go get my stuff straight after school." She smiled as she put her phone back in her pocket.

"Perfect." I smiled, texting mum.

We all laughed and chatted through the rest of lunch until the bell rang for our last period, double gym.

The lesson passed by very slowly as I watched the dodgeball game from the side. I couldn't count the amount of times I nearly got hit by a fucking dodgeball, which I know was done on purpose.

Once the lesson was over, we went back to the changing rooms to get our normal clothes back on. The teachers were ass holes and said that even if we didn't do gym, we still had to get changed.

I slid my top on slowly and carefully, wincing in pain. Eve shot me a sympathetic look as she shoved her stuff in her locker. I shoved my things away too and we then went to wait for Riley and Seth outside.

Riley and Seth walked out with foreheads still slightly beaded with sweat.

"So, lead the way to your house." Riley smiled. Eve nodded and we walked out the school doors together.
