I tried to make myself look less flustered before me and Derek headed downstairs for dinner. Knowing Tori she would notice right away if I wasn't careful. Kit ordered chinese food, Derek's favorite, and we all ate a discussed the new house. " We'll go out and get a few essentials over the weekend, but we don't need much because it's just going to be left behind when we run again." Kit said.
We all finished eating and Simon and Derek went out to the backyard. They found a football back there, must have been left from the previous owners, and were tossing it back and forth. I decided to leave them for some much needed "bro time" and went upstairs to find Tori. I wanted some help picking an outfit for tomorrow, our first day at the new school. I wasn't planning on making any friends, not worth it when we could be leaving at any time, but I still wanted to make a good impression.
I knocked at Tori's door "come in!" She shouted. The room was pretty big and it had pink walls, perfect for Tori, that was probably why she chose this room. " Hey, want to help me pick my outfit for tomorrow? I want to make a good impression" I said, "yeah!" She replied already making her way to my bedroom.
She picked the turquoise top. Had gotten and a pair of jeans " simple, but cute! And you can shower tonight then braid your hair, and when you wakeup you'll have cute waves" she smiled. " You're a genius, thank you!" I told her. She even organized what I had into a bunch of different outfits that I would have never thought of.
When I was done talking to Tori I headed to the bathroom to take my shower, it was only 7:30 but I wanted to make sure my hair had as long as possible to dry in the braids. I grabbed the towel I had picked up, we each got one for now, but when I got there Tori was taking a bath with some bathbomb she picked up on our shopping spree so I went to see if I could shower in the boys bathroom. I knocked at the door " come in!" I heard Simon's cheerful voice shout. I hadn't got to really look at the boys room until now and it was actually pretty nice. Two single beds were set up and there was lots of room, the walls were blue and green, which happened to be Simon and Derek's favorite colors. Derek was lying on his stomach in only boxers, he appeared to be asleep already. "Hey Simon, would you mind if I used your shower? Tori's hogging the upstairs bathroom, as usual" he laughed, " we're going to have to get used to that aren't we?" He said, " go ahead, any time you need it".
Their bathroom was fairly small. Just a small sink with a little mirror/cabinet and a stand up shower. There was some cheap vanilla scented shampoo and body wash already in the shower so I just got in.
It felt so nice to finally relax and be able to take my time in the shower, Lauren, me, and Tori had stopped at a Wallgreens on out trip out so we got all the basics including razors. I shaved my legs for the first time in two weeks, and let the hot water relax my sore muscles. When I got out I used the boy's brush and put my hair up in a towel. I was just about to leave when I heard a soft knock at the door and Derek just let himself into the bathroom. "Woah bro! Trying to sneak a peek?!" I heard Simon call from their bedroom, Derek chuckled. " I just wanted to say goodnight" he told me, leaning down to give me a somewhat quick kiss. " Go get some rest for the big first day back at school" he winked and I followed him out.
I braided my hair and finally climbed into my bed for the night. It was a little cold because all we had gotten were cheap throw blankets to tide us over for the next couple nights. I drifted off to sleep almost immediately, exhausted from the busy day we had.
There you go guys! Updates will be more frequent again! My dad put a block on my computer that kept me from being able to go on fanfiction but I'm using my phone for now. So sorry for the delay. I'm thinking that I'm just going to cut Lauren from the story. She was never really an important character for me and I feel like she just gets in the way of the story, plus I don't really have much to say about her. I know she was in previous chapters so I'm going to leave that but don't expect her to be talked about much at all in the rest of them. Thank you for the reviews by the way! It means a lot to finally get feed back. I'll always read them and take your guy's opinions into consideration so feel free to put any requests!
