"Were does this one go?" Skyler called out to me from the bathroom.
"I don't know what 'This one' is!" I shouted back. I was in my new room setting everything up. I had at least 6 boxes just for my room so I knew this was going to be a while. Skyler threw her boxes in her room and worked on the rest of the house first and told me not to bother, even though she keeps asking were stuff goes.
"Its the make up kit!" I heard her yell from the bathroom.
"Find a drawer now let me unpack!" I called out to her, I could feel her pouting so I did what any one would do. "Do you want to come help?" I asked.
I could hear her footsteps speeding towards my room and then my door swung open faster than you could say bloody hell. "Really? You really mean it? I can help?" she asked in-between breaths. I nodded and she squealed with excitement then jumped over to me and sat down. "What do we do first?"
I picked up a box and placed it in front of her on the floor. "In here is all my drawings that go on the wall. Pull them all out and find the matches and hang them up." She smiled and started to pull out the pictures. I turned around and grabbed a white box that had my lights in them. I opened the box and looked at my white colored fairy lights. I looked around the room and then put the lights down and grabbed a hammer and some nails. I placed the nails all around the top of the room and hung up the lights while Skyler put up my pictures. About a hour later two of my walls were covered in drawings and posters and the other two were drying from being painted. My bed was made with my "Nightmare Before Christmas" bed spread and on my light stand was a photo of Skyler and myself as kids. I missed those days, that was before drama, love and taxes. Those were the days, were we could stay up all night and only dread about school the next day.
"Where does this go?" I looked over to Skyler who was holding my stuffed Pikachu I got when I was 9. He was fatter version and he was worn down. I grabbed him from her and she looked at me in shock. Her eyes widened and she looked at me in shock.
I looked at her and looked down embarrassed. "I'm sorry, its just... I hate it when people touch him. That's why he was always on the top shelf at my parents house." She nodded at me and I put Pikachu on my bed and looked at him for a minute. I turned around and realized almost all the boxes were gone. I looked over at Skyler and smiled at her.
"All we need is to put your wardrobe together and were all set!" She said enthusiastically. I sighed and my smiled disappeared. I hated building things, i tried to make a bird house in 11th grade. It looked like a fucking death room. All the nails were either to big or to small and there was no place for the bird to go in, I thought was really funny. Mostly because i was an Artist but I wasn't really the building kind. I drew and carved. That was it. Skyler looked over at me and smiled. "Don't worry I know just what to do!" She pulled out her phone and called someone. After about 10 seconds someone answered and she smiled and looked at me while talking. "Hey Phil! I know its not even been 2 hours since you gave me your number then Dan dragged you away but i was wondering. Would you and Dan like to build our wardrobe? Were to weak to do it." She said that in a pouty tone and then she went a little flirty. "But two big men like yourselves could do this in a breeze! Please help us!" She smiled for a little bit then giggled and then hung up.
"Whats the verdict?" I asked her.
"Why do you think that everything needs money?" She looked at me and crossed her arms over her chest while leaning on the wall.
"Because everything does." I looked at him scornfully.
"They don't want money. Just food, and my I quote Dan 'We only want food because were fat fucks!' He is so cute!" She giggled then looked at me.
"Your so weird. Dan is like 5 years older then you!" She looked at me shocked and then smiled.
"You don't know how old they are?"
"No? I don't want to pay attention to my neighbors wh-"
"Who are incredibly gorgeous and we are lucky to have ever met them?"
"NO! I was gonna say who look like there complete pedophiles There both probably in there 30's just trying to snatch there closest victim." I looked at her with a disappointing face. She stuck her tongue at me while pulling her bottom eye lid down.
She fixed her face then looked at me. "Actually Dan is 21 and Phil said his 25th birthday is coming up. Also they are not pedophiles!" She looked at me with a sour face.
"How do you know? You just met them! You don't know what they are! What if they are? Would you still talk to them? I bet they are because Dan was looking at me in the lift and it was really creepy!" She pouted then stopped and looked at me and giggled. "What so funny?"
"England got to you huh?"
"What no?"
"Sally you just said Lift instead of Elevator!" She started to laugh at me. I looked down and felt so embarrassed.
"So? You would have to if you were in a rush to get the sentence out of your mouth!" I said while my face was going hot.
"No i wouldn't have." she said in between laughs. "I'm 100% american unlike you!" She looked at me again then laughed one more. I looked at her and walked past into the hall way. I walked down to the living room and started to hook up the Xbox with Skyler's laughs in the back ground. After about 3 minutes she stopped and walked into the living room. "Where are they. They live right above us for Christ Sakes!" She grabbed the near by broom and hit the ceiling. I heard a muffle and then her phone started to ring.
"Why hello there Philip! How are you on this fine day?" We both started to giggle. She put him on speaker so we could both hear him while hooking up the Xbox.
"Well it was fine until you started to pound on my floor!" We both tried to muffle a laugh but he carried on. "We were just about to leave, sorry were taking to long Dan is being lazy."
In the background we could hear Dan yelling. "I was not! I was just being the fat fuck i am! Didn't you see my chocolate bar in my hand?" Skyler and myself burst out laughing. Then Phil carried on.
"Well then... So Dan and myself will be over in about 5 minutes? We'll be there soon. Ok?"
"Alright well hurry up!"
"Will do! bye." Phil hung up right when i finished setting the Xbox up. I went over and grabbed the WII and set that one up kinda fast. But then we heard a knocking at the door, Skyler stood up and fixed her hair then walked over to the door. I rolled my eyes and then went back to setting my games up. I pulled out my play station and started hooking that up while I heard Skyler greet the boys. A few seconds later they walked into the living room while laughing. I stood up and looked at them with a dull expression on my face.
"So were is this wardrobe we have to build?" Phil asked clapping his hands together, he looked over at Skyler who was blushing and couldn't stop. I looked over to Dan and he had his hands in his pockets and was looking at the floor. I felt awkward just looking at him so, I too, looked down at the floor.
"Follow me!" Skyler said with a big smile on her face. She was about to start walking towards my room when my arm reached out and grabbed her. She looked at me and then her face went from happy to pure horror. I could feel my expression on my face darkening. I shook my head at her then pointed to the corner of the room were a box stood. She gave me a awkward smile then I let go and sat down. She pulled Phil over to the box and had him help her open it. I watched them for a little bit and then remembered Dan was here. I turned around and didn't see him. I got off the couch and walked into the Kitchen, he wasn't eating food. I turned around and went into the hall way and opened Skyler's door. He wasn't in her room. I walked down and stood in front of my door that had a sign on it that clearly stated "NO ENTRY". I started to get worried and just thought of him being a creepy and going threw my underwear drawer, or what if he was ruining my drawings! What if... WHAT IF HE WAS TAKING MY STUFF SO HE COULD SMELL IT! I got really angry and threw the door open.
He was there.
On my bed.
Looking at my pictures.
"What are you doing here?" Was the only thing I could say.
He looked up at me and blushed. "I'm sorry I know its kinda creepy but i was looking for the bathroom and I opened this door. I know there is a sign on it but i just couldn't resist." He said really embarrassed. I sighed and sat next to him.
"Eh, don't worry. Everyone has a temptation and your's is to adventure. Mine is to finish a video game in less than a week. It was terrible when I was in school. My mum and dad would never get me a new game until we had a vacation because then I would spend all my time on the game and not on homework or anything else." We both laughed at my stupidity and then I looked over at the picture Dan was holding.
It was me.
But I never knew I had that picture.
I've never seen it.
"Oh um... This is my picture I just had it in my pocket and then I saw your picture and I was comparing." He said. "You look a lot like my old pen pal. My mum and dad said I needed someone to talk to so they set my up with my mum's friends daughter. We stopped talking at, I think, age 11. She is 9 in this picture." I looked at that picture and just stared. I couldn't help but think about it.
It was me.
His pen pal was me?
I looked at him in shock and then back at the picture. I couldn't believe it. I thought my imaginary friends name was Daniel, I had no clue he was real! I stood up and Dan watched me as I walked out the room and into the hall way. I closed the door then pulled out my phone and called my mom. After three rings she picked up.
"Hello?"
"
"Mom? Hey its Sally."
"Oh hi dear how are you? How is London! How's Skyler? Does the place look nice? If it don't you know your father and myself can always send you money to help out!"
"Oh no its fine mom, and everything is okay. Skyler says hi." She didn't say that but i knew she would if I was near her.
"Oh tell her I say hello and so does your father."
"Will do mom. Um, but I have a question. Have I ever had a pen pal?"
"Oh, um, yes yes you did. You had one from when you were 4 all the way till you were about 12. You said he was boring and that you wanted a new friend. Ever since then you thought he was your imaginary friend. We tried to correct you but you were just so excited about him being imaginary that we let it go." I was in complete shock. "Why did you want to know deary?"
"Oh no reason mom. I'll catch you later okay?"
"Okay. Goodbye sweety!"
"Bye mom."
I hung up with her and leaned against the wall. I slowly slid to the floor and sat there hugging my knee's to my chest. I couldn't believe it, I knew Dan even before I moved here. He wasn't a pedophile. He was this sweet innocent boy who thought girls had cooties when he was younger. I put my head on my knees and sat there in thought. About 15 minutes later Dan was tapping my shoulder. "Hey there are you okay?" I lifted my head and looked at him.
"I don't know." i muffled in a whisper tone.
"You saw my photo of my old friend and left me in your room. What would have happened if i was a pedophile? I would have gone threw your drawers! Oh nice red thong by the way." He winked at me. My face went bright red and i slapped his arm.
"You perv you went threw my cloths!" I while getting up. I swatted his hand to help away.
"Actually I guessed. I didn't know you had a thong. I thought you would be the girl who would were the boy shorts with the logos on them!" He smiled at me with a little chuckle.
"I don't wear it unless i'm wearing my yoga pants." I said embarrassed.
"Well, now i'm excited to see you in yoga pants." He winked again at me and I gave him a look and walked into my room. He followed close behind.
"Go away you perv!" I said throwing a Luke from Zelda toy at him. He swat it away with ease and laughed at my pity attempt to get him away.
"Your so cute when your mad." I stood on my bed with a pillow in my hands ready to hit him in the face. He grabbed my other pillow and hit my legs making me fall onto my bed. "Aww your so week also!" He started to hit me with the pillow while i tried hitting him back.
"I'm going to beat your ass!" I shouted while throwing the pillow at him then wrestling him to the ground. He pushed me off then pinned me.
"Lets see how that works out." He smiled a crooked smile which made my heart lurch. I looked at him and he looked at me, it started to look like he was leaning in on me, so I did the only thing I knew how to do.
I panicked.
I kicked my leg up really hard and fast and then while he was moaning in pain i grabbed his arms and pined him to the ground. He looked at me shocked then smiled.
"Even though that was uncalled for, I give you credit for taking me back down." I sat on top of him fairly awkwardly and when I was about to get off he pulled me down and made me lay next to him. I looked over at him while he turned my way. "We need to hang out more."
"This wasn't even a hang out. You were snooping threw my room!"
"No, actually I guessed and I was right. I haven't opened one drawer in your room the whole time I have been here." I sat up and looked around my room.
He was right EVERYTHING was were I left it.
He sat up and looked at me then smiled. He then stood up and put out his hand for me to take. I accepted it and he pulled me up. I went flying at him and hit his chest. He didn't flinch, he just wrapped his arms around me. I've never been so close, like this, to a boy who wasn't my boyfriend. I stood there awkwardly for a minute but then I relaxed. He smelt delicious and he was so warm. I wrapped my arms around him as well. We stood that way for about 5 minutes then we were interrupted by a pounding at my door.
"Hey! You in there? Open up!" I heard Skyler scream from the other side of the door. I walked over and opened it and she smiled at me. "Hey, Phil and I finished the wardrobe without any help from you two." She looked over to Dan as well. "But it's done now we need help carrying it to your room." Dan and myself followed Skyler out to the living room and then we all grabbed hold of the dresser. But were Dan and I grabbed the dresser made us actually hold hands.
It felt nice.
But also weird.
Okay everyone. So this is my game plan. I'm going to try to upload a new chapter twice a week. Because there is school and blah blah blah. But yes! At least twice a week. Sometimes maybe once a week. But if im in a GREAT mood and It'll be three times a week. Now then... They may not all be this long. I was just not trying to rush this one.
