Chapter Five

Sophie rolled her eyes at her sisters' antics. Jess and Dani were singing badly to some pop song in the backseat. Sara, who was driving, quickly changed the station.

"Hey!" Dani whined, "I like that song."

"You can't sing and therefore are not allowed to."

"You're mean," Jess sighed and playfully kicked the back of Sara's seat.

"Hey! Don't annoy the driver or she'll drive off the road and kill you all," Sara retorted, reaching back to swat at Jess.

"If you plan on committing homicide tonight, let me know now, I'll walk back," Sophie announced.

Sara laughed, "No worries, girl, I like you, you get to live."

"Yay!" Sophie grinned.

"Hey, no fair!" Dani said, "Sophie can't sing either!"

"Hey!" Sophie frowned as Jess laughed.

"True, but at least she doesn't do it in my car."

"You all suck," Sophie pouted.

"I don't, but I can't speak for Jess," Dani said mischievously, waggling her eyebrows.

"Hey!" Jess cried.

"Please, you hog up the bathroom with your shower-sex," Sara chimed in.

"And our room! I swear," Sophie complained, "Oh, I wasn't asleep that one time, just so you know."

Jess flushed as the other two yelled loudly, "Ohh!"

"That's wrong," Sara shook her head.

"Hmmf, well, maybe if Sophie wasn't in the room all time," Jess shot back.

"I know how to solve that," Dani said excitedly.

"Oh, how?" Sara said, playing along.

"Get her a boyfriend!"

"Shuddup. You all still suck."

Sara laughed as she pulled up to the house, "Sorry, Sophie, but you know we love ya."

"Yeah, yeah," Sophie rolled her eyes.

Sara parked the car and the group exited the vehicle and headed towards the house. It had been spontaneous, Sara had suddenly wanted to get out of the house and do something. It had taken little effort to convince Jess and Dani, and the three of them had ganged up and dragged Sophie with them.

It had been fun, Sophie admitted to herself, as the group split up and headed towards their respective rooms. She made her way to her bed, where she had accidently left her phone during her protests of having homework to do. There was one missed call from Jordan.

There's always a call from Jordan, Sophie thought, shaking her head and checking the clock - it was after two in the morning. She wrote a note on a post-it: Call Jordan in the morning.
