"Oh my God, shoot me now," I mumbled as I sat at the table with Carly and Paige. I thought I was going to beat myself unconscious. Carly looked at me.
"Look, if you've got a problem with us, Sephora then tell us," she said bitterly. My eyes narrowed.
"Okay. I've got a problem with you nagging on your brother all the time. Paige, I've got no problems with you," I said looking at Paige, who nodded and flipped through the newspaper. Carly opened her mouth to say something, but Paige cut her off.
"There's a place in Tribeca for-"Carly cut her off.
"That's too expensive. The money I saved up won't cover two months' rent. I'm gonna have to work every second I'm not in class until graduation."
"Carly, don't even think about not going," Paige said dangerously. I had to chuckle. Paige and dangerous weren't exactly two words that worked together.
"I'm not."
"Good…because you know how proud I am of you." I snorted, but covered it up as a cough. Carly shot a glare at me and I smiled.
"It's just an internship."
"At InStyle magazine!" Paige seemed to think. "Unless you'd rather stay at the Waffle House as a waitress forever." Carly made a face and took a sip of her soda with a laugh.
"No thanks." Paige laughed now and I rolled my eyes, but smiled when Wade approached.
"Yeah," she said with a grin. Wade walked over and sat down next to Carly.
"Hey babe," he said, pecking her on the cheek.
"Hi," was Carly's reply. I almost gagged at how far apart yet close the two of them seemed. It sort of is the relationship that I want, but I would more closeness than apartness if you get what I'm getting at. Now then, here is where the conflict ensues. I completely blame Paige, I didn't do this.
"Sorry, there were these two drunk rednecks wrestling in the bathroom." I laughed and said,
"Really?" He looked at me and laughed before saying teasingly,
"No I'm lying to you." Wade and I were always like brother and sister. I love Wade, he was my brother, but not the badass brother. The funny brother who always made me feel better, and I did the same for him.
"There's no rednecks in New York," came Paige's reply. I rolled my eyes and sent Wade a look when he looked a bit taken aback by her being so forward. I rolled my eyes and watched as Paige stood up. Carly had given her the Shut-Your-Mouth-Or-I'll-Kill-You look.
"No…there's not," was Wade's calm reply.
"Well, I'm gonna go see what Blake's doing. He seems to like that car more than me nowadays." She walked away and I chuckled.
"Who doesn't?" Wade smiled and I turned to him. "Well I'm off to see what Nick is up to. Hopefully he isn't torturing a hobo." He laughed and I stood up and walked towards the entrance to the small gas station. I saw Nick and Dalton causing chaos. "Hey dickheads!" The two turned and Nick smiled. He wrapped me into a hug and spun me around. I laughed.
"Hey Seph, what's up?" I shrugged.
"Why do you gotta be so bad ass around everyone but you're cool round Dalton and I?" He shrugged. "Oh don't pull that shit with me, ya dumb ass." He smiled and put me in a headlock.
"Because that's how it's always been, Seph. Everyone think's I'm the evil twin."
"While your sister's the good one I know." He gave me a noogie.
"Now don't forget it." I laughed.
"Okay! Okay! I won't forget it." He laughed and let me go before I said," C'mon, let's go cause some chaos." Nick laughed again.
"Ah, always with the ideas, my little Chaos Lover," he said hugging me from the side before letting me go. I chuckled before we walked into the store. I ignored everything until I heard someone say,
"Nice, real nice." I looked up and saw that Nick had dumped soda all over a hobo. I rolled my eyes and tossed him a twenty with a smile before walking up to the group. Wade smiled at me and Nick immediately wanted to know why.
"I thought you were interested in my sister, Wade." Wade looked at him funny.
"Um, obviously I am." I rolled my eyes. Nick was always looking for a reason to fight with Wade in front of his sister.
"Well then stop looking and smiling at Seph," Nick snapped. I rolled my eyes and pushed him down onto the bench. I massaged his shoulders and whispered into his ear,
"Stop being such a dick." He chuckled and shook his head, causing me to roll my eyes once again. Stubborn jackass, I thought.
"So what do ya think, guys? Gonna be a sweet game tomorrow huh?" Wade asked, trying his best to be friendly.
"Yeah," Nick and I replied. Of course, Nick was less enthusiastic than I was. I rolled my eyes. "Don't be gay, Nick," I said while shoving him. He rolled his eyes.
"Dalton, please don't film me," came the voice of Carly. I bit back a groan. It was just a damn camera.
"What? I'm not filming right now," he said trying to act stupid. I rolled my eyes.
"The red light is on, dipshit." Nick laughed and Dalton pouted. I laughed and shook my head.
"Put the camera down," Nick said forcing down the camera. "You know she doesn't like having people up in her face." He looked at his sister and smirked. "She folds under pressure."
"You got something to say to me?" She asked heatedly. I held back a snort. Nick always had something to say to Carly, but he kept his lips shut. I couldn't believe he still had up all this bullshit about the car being stolen when…oh never mind.
"No I think you've already spoken enough for the both of us, don't you?" He asked smugly with a grin. I rolled my eyes.
"C'mon Evil Twin," I grabbed his arm and stood up. "Let's go." Dalton nodded.
"Yeah, you guys are lame. I'm outta here. See ya." I shook my head and watched as Dalton walked out. I pulled up Nick and tugged him towards the exit. I turned and smiled to Wade, who smiled back. Well, so much for getting along, huh?
