Autor's Note: Sorry I haven't updated in so long; I got back from camping late at night, and then I had to catch up on my homework(apparently I have to actually do the homework to get a mark), and then I had to work three evenings more than the expected none because I was doing a favor for various co-workers. And then to top it all off, I got writer's block. Still have it, actually, but I made myself try to write this chapter anyway. So, for all those who're going all shaky from withdrawal(ha, yeah right), here's a new chapter. While I was sitting there not being able to think of what to write next, I thought of a few other characters that I could use for a new story. Maybe I'll ask people for some characters to put in said new story when I decide to write it, just to be a bit more interactive.What do you guys think of that idea?
Chapter 25: End Of The Day
Somehow, I managed to get through the night with no other problems. I sang my songs, ignored Lash, and resisted the urge to annihilate every guy who whistled at me. All I could think was 'I need a raise'. Eventually, closing time came around and all the students were ushered out the doors. I sighed in relief and sank into a couch in the staff lounge.
Luke popped his head into the room with a big grin on his face and told me, "Hey Eevee, you have some loyal fans here that want to talk to you."
I gave him a flat stare, bluntly replying, "You must be joking."
"Yeah, yeah I am. I'm sure you do have loyal fans, but it's actually just your friends that want to talk you," he said, and then quickly dodged a fireball aimed at his head.
I told Luke to just let them into the staff lounge because I was too tired to get up without a very good cause, which talking is not. A minute later, Layla came through the door, followed by Will, Warren, Zach, Magenta, and Ethan. Layla immediately spotted me sitting on my couch and broke into a huge smile. I didn't think it was possible; shouldn't that wide a smile break someone's face in half? Ouch.
Anyway, Layla jumped onto the couch beside me, earning a disgruntled look and the comment, "You've only know me for about a week, and I'm not the most sociable person. Quit being so overly-friendly; it creeps me out."
If possible, her smile got even bigger and she burst out, "Oh my God, why didn't you tell us you were such an amazing singer!"
"Fine, completely ignore what I just said. And I'm not an amazing singer, I'm just pretty good," I responded, inching away.
"No way, man! You are amazing, yo!" Zach piped up.
"I swear to God, if anyone asks for an autograph they're going to get hurt. I didn't tell you guys 'cause I knew you'd act like you're acting right now. I don't need the unwanted attention. I should never have taken the job," I muttered.
"Come on, you were great," Layla said.
"Looks like I do have loyal fans. Anyway, I'm dead tired now, so I'm going to go home and try to get some sleep. You guys should do the same; it is past midnight," I told them.
"Aren't you hungry?" Layla asked curiously.
"Yeah, but I want to sleep," I pressed.
Layla smiled again, saying, "You can't go to bed hungry, Eve. You can come eat some pizza with us. I know this great place that would still be open, because they know that some people want a late night snack. We'll go to my place and order some pizza and watch a movie. So what if it's midnight? It's the weekend," she suggested, though it sounded more like a command to me.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" I inquired.
"No," Warren answered, sounding a bit morose about the fact.
After a brief glare at Warren, Layla turned to me and answered for herself, "Nope. You've gotta come. I won't take no for an answer," she gasped as she thought of something, "We can have a sleepover!"
Warren and I groaned at the same time, not much liking that idea.
Layla ignored us completely, continuing, "Yeah, we'll have a big sleepover! My parents don't mind when I have a bunch of people over, even for a sleepover. It'll be great! Everybody needs to get their stuff before we go, I suppose. I'll order the pizza, everybody run home to get your pyjamas and stuff. How does that sound?" she asked, obviously set to ignore any negative comment.
"I can't go, I should've been home already. My parents worry. Sorry," Ethan said sadly.
"I'll just have to change their minds. Don't worry, you'll be there," Layla assured him.
"Unless you all live close to the club, it'll take a while to get everyone's junk," I stated, always the one to rain on parades.
"Ha, most of us do live close by. You're not getting out of this, Eve," Layla told me triumphantly.
I resisted the urge to curse out loud and decided to give up, because once Layla had it in her mind to do this, she wouldn't be budged. I sighed in resignation and told her I'd be back in a second because I was teleporting to my house, which wasn't near the club. Warren's house wasn't near the club either, so I volunteered to teleport him home to get his stuff too. I found out that I actually could teleport other people. I'm not a social expert, but I still think it's weird that a guy can sleep over at a girl's house. I teleported Warren to his house, and then teleported to my house to pack.
I was confronted almost immediately by Beck, who was still up for some reason.
"You are in big trouble, Eevee. Dad got a call from the principal about you, and he's very pissed off. What did you do? Anyway, he's asleep right now, but you can bet he'll be grounding you first thing tomorrow. Also, he says you'll be going to detention back in the school tomorrow. Oh, you must've done something bad to go to detention on a Saturday. So, I'd suggest tiptoeing unless you want him to wake up and yell at you," she warned.
I nodded thoughtfully, then replied, "Well, story of my life; getting in trouble. I'm just here to get my stuff, I'm going to be sleeping over at Layla's house," I scrunched my face for a second before continuing, "So, I'll just leave all that 'til tomorrow."
Beck stared at me in shock, then repeated what I'd said in surprise, "You're sleeping over at Layla's house? You're sleeping over at anyone's house? Wow, just wow."
"Yeah, I had no say in the matter. So anyways, thanks for the heads up, didn't know you'd help me out like that," I remarked.
"Well, us siblings got to stick up for each other, right?" she said offhandedly.
I looked at her surprised for a second, then shook my head in confusion and went to get my stuff. Once I had everything I'd need, I teleported back to Warren's house, careful not to teleport into his room again. After Warren and I had teleported back to the club and found that that others weren't there, we had to go looking for them. We found Zach and Magenta outside heading for Layla's house. We got to the house and Will was already there. Layla and Ethan showed up soon enough, I guess Layla actually could convince Ethan's parents to let him come.
We put in a movie—I got to pick since I was the 'Star' or something like that, so we watched Blade Trinity—and sat down to wait for our pizza. The pizza got there, was paid for, and we finished the movie while eating it. I have to say, the pizza wasn't as good as the pizza back home, but it was okay. Everybody but Layla and Ethan thought the movie was awesome. Layla apparently doesn't like violent movies, and Ethan doesn't like vampires. Whatever: majority rules.
After that we watched a movie of Layla's choice, which was boring. There was no fighting, blood, or swearing, so I changed into my pyjamas pants and tank top near the beginning in preparation of the movie putting me to sleep. Sure enough, my eyelids got heavy before the movie was even a quarter of the way through, and I nodded off.
