Edmund glared at me and I raised an eyebrow, as if to challenge him to say anything.
I turned to the others and helped grab a bag or two from Peter, he was trying not to smile, guess everyone else would benefit from Edmund knowing how to act.
"So this is where Macready would rattle on about how making noise isn't tolerated and how to not disturb the professor." I looked to see Susan running her fingers on a marble bust. I did my best impression of the Macready, "And absolutely no disturbing of the historical artifacts!" They all laughed, except Edmund.
"Here are your rooms, Peter and Edmund right there, Lucy and Susan over there." I set Lucy's bags inside her room. "I guess I'll leave you to yourselves." "About time." Edmund muttered and I resisted telling him off, or strangling him. I barely knew him, I'd save that stuff for at lease an hour.
My fist balled up. "Where is your room?" I was surprised when Peter asked. "Just right there." I was two doors down from the girl's room. "Oh, alright." He said quickly and went into his room. Edmund snickered, I wondered what was so funny. Maybe he was imagining me shoving his suitcase up his nose, that's what'd make me snicker.
I was sitting in my room reading a book when there was a knock on the door, "Entrada." I said laying down my book. Lucy, Susan, and Peter walked in. "Hey." "We're sorry about our brother." Susan sighed. "It's alright, I think I made it clear to him that we could be friends, or we could be enemies." I said dramatically.
Lucy giggled and then Peter asked, "So we were wondering, what was the emergency with the peanut butter and the parrots in the toaster?" "Well you see it's a funny story, there was a parrot named Greggo and-" I was cut off by a raspy knock on the door, "Dinner's ready."
"Good I'm starved!" Lucy sighed with content. "Let's go, does someone want to get Edmund?" I said getting up. Susan got to the door first, "I will." "Just follow the signs to the dinning room." She looked at me shocked, "There are signs?" "No it was a joke it's on the 1st floor by where you came in." Peter, Lucy, and I cracked up at the shocked look on Susan's face. "Enough laughing at me!" Susan demanded but she had a smile on her face.
"Oh I'll go with Susan, I forgot something in the room!" Lucy said suddenly, leaving Peter and I alone, coincidence? Not likely…
"So…" Peter said awkwardly and as we walked down the stairs our arms brushed and I thought I saw Peter's cheeks turn pink. "Yep…" I replied.
"I think we're having chicken for dinner." I said trying to start a conversation. "Chicken's good." He replied casually.
"Oh by the way, it's not a good idea to talk much but I'm sure the professor will talk to you and make things less uncomfortable, and I don't know if you already do this but something the Macready loves and will totally score you points with her is calling her ma'am. " I said trying to help. "Yes ma'am." He replied and we started laughing slightly, I didn't actually think it was that funny though..
At the table I sat by my grandfather and I went over to him and leaned down so he could kiss me on the cheek. Peter looked at me curiously and I mouthed, 'Grandpa', he nodded slowly and I gave him a half smile.
Dinner was very quiet, I asked my grandfather to try and make conversation but my grandfather wasn't a very social guy.
After dinner we gathered in my room again. "We didn't know the Professor was your grand father." Lucy said as I braided her hair. "Yeah, why didn't you tell us about it?" Peter asked.
"It never came up. Did anyone else see that piece of corn stuck in the Macready's teeth the whole dinner?" We all started laughing and joking until Edmund came in yelling about how we should keep it down. I just ignored it.
Peter and Susan decided it was bed time for Lucy and I promised her we'd play loads of games in the morning. With that I got under my covers and dreamt, yes a certain blonde haired boy MIGHT have appeared in my dreams!
Yes short but it's 1:30 am! Plz review! Love you ALL!
