Sophie had previously asked Grady and Edaline for permission to go to the sleepover. Edaline, being so kind, agreed whereas Grady didn't like the idea of Sophie spending the night away with so many boys around. Grady eventually agreed as well. Sophie took a shower, got dressed, and packed a few extra changes of clothes to wear in the morning in a small backpack, along with a plain white tank top and comfortable black leggings to sleep in.
At the Vacker house..
"Hey Sophie!" said Biana after she opened the bright gates for her. "Hi Biana." I said in return with a smile. Biana closed the gate and walked with Sophie to the door of the Vacker house. "We are still waiting for Keefe. Knowing him he will probably be styling his hair!" Biana joked. We were still laughing about that when we entered the house. Fitz and Linh were sitting together talking and laughing. Tam sat on the couch next to Linh eating Mallowmelt while Dex had his gadgets out and tweaking them. "Guys, Sophie's here." said Biana.
Linh got up and greeted Sophie with a hug. "Hello Sophie." said Fitz with his movie star smile. Linh noticed the way Fitz was looking at Sophie and pouted slightly. Trying to hide her feelings, Linh asked Fitz "Do you want to go to the kitchen? I'm kind of hungry." Then Tam chimed in, greeting Sophie. After that Dex did the same. "I'm a little hungry myself. How about we all find something to eat." said Biana. "Let's all go." said Fitz. Linh was clearly not happy that she wouldn't be alone with Fitz, but didn't want to seem rude so she said "Sure." I felt a pit in my stomach that didn't make me feel good. I'm not jealous because Linh wants to spend time with Fitz, alone, right? I thought. Is there anymore Mallowmelt?" asked Biana.
Everyone looked at Tam, who was still holding his plate with a Mallowmelt slice. I giggled. We all went into the kitchen and searched for any sweets. I grabbed the handle of a nearby cabinet and pulled it open. Inside were so many sweets and pastries like Rufflepuffs. "Guys, I found a lot of Rufflepuffs!" I announced. I was tall enough to reach and open the handle, but not tall enough to actually get the sweets. I stood on my tip toes and managed to get 2 sweets. "Here, let me help you." said a crisp accent behind me. Fitz's arms reached up and grabbed the tray filled with the pastries. I turned around to thank Fitz, but once I did we were standing 3 inches away from each other. I froze, but still managed to say "Thanks" to Fitz weakly. We were standing so close. Linh was right by Fitz's side by the time he had replied "No problem". Linh looped her arm around Fitz's muscular one and said "Yay! Now we have something good to eat!"
Della and Alden walked into the kitchen and saw what was happening. They greeted us all before leaving. We heard a ring. "Ooh, that must be Keefe!" said Biana and she hurried to the gates. We were all sitting down and eating when Biana came back with Keefe. "Hey Foster! Aw, you started eating without me." said Keefe. We all said 'Hi' and continued eating. After that we went back to the living room and sat down in a circle with Fitz on my right and Keefe on my left. Linh was next to Fitz, Tam next to Linh, Biana next to Tam, and Dex in between Keefe and Tam. Biana then said "We should all play Truth or Dare!"
Hey fellow readers, sorry for updating late. I hope you are satisfied with this long chapter. It took me forever to complete, but I did my best because the previous chapter was way shorter that intended. So I had to try and squeeze as much as I could into this chapter. Hope you enjoyed, bye and see you next week!
