Chapter 17

We get back from the hike. I'm currently sitting in my room, trying to read a book. Dad had to work and mom had to meet aunt Mia . Suddenly there's a knock on my door.

"Come in," I say, expecting Theodore to walk through the door. But to my surprise, it's Phoebe. "Hi," she says, hesitantly. I greet her and ask her to make herself comfortable. This could be awkward. "What's up?" I ask her. "Actually, me and Ava were going to have a sleepover at her house. Would you like to come with me?". I'm shocked and pleased in equal measure. She's finally reaching out to me ! This means that her apology was sincere.

"Yes ofcourse, I'd love to come. But wait, shouldn't we ask dad for permission?" I ask her. "Oh I've already asked him and he's very happy with the suggestion.". "Alright then." we both smile at each other. This should be interesting.

We are at Ava's house Dinner was fun. Uncle Elliot is hilarious, much like his son, Cam. Throught the dinner, me and Ava didn't get to talk had spaghetti and meatballs. Phoebe has been nice enough. Right now me, Ava and Phoebe are sitting in Ava's room. Phoebe is trying to paint my nails blood red.

"No way. That colour is way too loud for me. Do you have a lighter colour?" I say as I push the bottle away.

"Umm I have this nude colour,".

"That's better. Thanks", I say as she applies a perfect coating. I must learn from her. I usually end up spilling it or applying it to my skin.

"So, Annabeth. Are you seeing someone?" Ava asks all of a sudden.

"No. I don't date much." More like, I don't date at all.

"Why?"

" I just don't like anyone enough to date them at present my problem is that I'll probably get too attached and the guy wouldn't. So that's why. What about you?"

"Nah nothing serious." She says casually. I wish I had that kind of attitude.

"What about you Phoebe? Are you dating anyone?". Both of them exchange a glance and then burst out laughing.

"Phoebe has had a crush on Ted's bestfriend since forever. But doesn't even look at her, sadly.". Ava explains, after they've stopped laughing.

"Hey c'mon! He did look at me that one time on my birthday.". says Phoebe.

"Yeah coz it was your birthday duh," we all start laughing at that. We watch a few chick flicks and gossip bit more about Phoebe's crush and then finally head towards our beds at 3 am. That wasn't that bad. Infact it was fun. Huh. Who would've thought.
