Chapter 4 4

  • I smile at the mention of Nick "I know Nick. He's the one that helped me get the place"
  • "Oh, remind me to give him a kiss" Kat replies sheepishly, stepping a bit too hard on the accelerator and making me grip my seat belt "I don't think we'd be friends at the moment if it wasn't for him"
  • I snort "Damn right"
  • "Wait, what happened?" Winnie asks confused.
  • I chuckle before telling her about how my best friend got us kicked out of our dorm by inviting her boyfriend in and continuing to smoke with him. They actually did this all the time but this time it was different.
  • We would've gotten away with it if it was anyone else but Betty Larsen who had busted us. She is like our arch nemesis or something, she hates us and we hate her. She went and told our house matrons about her finding. And then, as you know, we were kicked out.
  • What a bitch.
  • "Oh I know Betty" Winnie snorts "One spiteful bitch"
  • "I know, right?!" I almost shout
  • We just all laugh about it. After a while we reach Cottage Hill, I take my bags out and Kat and Winnie help me upstairs with them.
  • "Hey, don't you think Kyle is gonna freak out if he sees us here" Kat asks worriedly as I fumble with my keys and open.
  • I enter "He'll live. Plus he's hardly home at this time"
  • She shrugs but I can see she's uneasy about this whole thing. Winnie looks as comfortable as ever which is good.
  • "Woah, this place is big" Kat breathes in awe roaming around "Can I go see your bedroom"
  • "Sure"
  • "I'll help you unpack" Winnie offers kindly.
  • We then do just that, making light conversation as we go along. I like her, she's so cool. And I guess this means I finally have a friend at Cottage Hill.
  • And then my (kind of) worst fear come true, I hear fumbling by the door. I know I was acting all nonchalant about Kyle finding out that I have people over but now that's it's happening, I'm kind of scared. I don't think the guy would even hesitate in kicking me out.
  • I sure hope that doesn't happen.
  • Winnie and I share a look before the door fully opens showcasing a very confused and tired Kyle. I notice he goes to the gym an awful lot. Well it works cause his body is amazing.
  • "Winona, what are you doing here?" He asks with a towel around his neck. He looks so cute like that, I have to hold in a giggle.
  • She shrugs "Hello to you too. Anyways I'm helping Chelsea here unpack"
  • With the mention of my name, he directs his annoyed eyes to me "You! What did I say about having people over?"
  • "I couldn't ask you cause you weren't home, and I don't have your numbers" I defend helplessly.
  • He shakes his head "I swear I regret my decision"
  • "Calm down, it's not like she's going to burn your house down" Winnie speaks for me as we continue with the unpacking.
  • "Whatever, I'm going to take a shower"
  • "Hey, Chels, you should paint your-"
  • Kat stops halfway through her sentence when she sees Kyle. She was just emerging from my bedroom, totally oblivious that he was home.
  • "Oh hi Kyle" She greets awkwardly.
  • He doesn't reply but instead narrows his eyes at me. If looks could kill... "This is your first and last strike"
  • Before I can defend myself he's already walking to his bedroom and slams the door quite loudly, I'm surprised the ground didn't shake "Well that was fun" I mutter sarcastically.
  • "Okay I take it back" Kat says flustered "I wouldn't trade lives with you"
  • "Told you so"
  • "He gets better once you get to know him" Winnie giggles at our fearful expressions over he friend "Trust me"
  • "Seriously doubt it" I mutter.
  • After we're finished with everything, Kat drives back to her dorm and Winnie walks to her room, which I learned is just two doors away from Kyle's.
  • What a day.
  • (4): A Jerk
  • "Oh my god, who are you?" The girl in just a long shirt screeches, almost dropping the glass that was in her hand.
  • "Who are you?" I retort "I live here"
  • "What? No you don't" She argues, gulping down the water "Kyle told me that he lived alone. Not with some ugly blonde"
  • Ah. She must be one of his conquests. I knew I heard a female voice last night but I thought I was dreaming. I slept pretty early so he must've gone somewhere to pick her up and bring her back to his place.
  • Gross. Thank goodness I didn't hear any moaning thought.
  • "Well, he doesn't. I live here now" I inform, pushing her out of my way and making some cereal for myself.
  • "Why should I believe you?" She demands loudly, crossing her arms against her quite big chest. Yeah, this is probably his type.
  • "What is this noise so early in the morning" Comes Kyle's annoyed voice as he walks to the kitchen very shirtless, with messy hair and rubbing his eyes, signaling that he just woke up.
  • Abs galore. And how the heck does he still manage to look so good but he just woke up? That's so unfair.
  • "Ask your girlfriend" I retort eating my cereal.
  • He looks at her sighing "Listen, uh, Layla-"
  • "It's Lisa, you jerk!" She screeches and I have to block my ears because her voice is so loud and irritating.
  • I can't help but snort at the fact the he doesn't even know her name. What a jerk indeed.
  • "Whatever. Listen, I had a good time last night but I told you to leave before I got up" He tells her with a bored expression.
  • "What?" She screams offended "A girl can't even have some breakfast first? Oh my god, I am so warning other girls about you"
  • I need ear plugs at this point.
  • "They already know, sweetheart" He winks menacingly "And they still want a piece of me. Just like you did"
  • She scoffs because the guy does have a point after all "Just because you have a big dick doesn't mean you can treat girls like trash"
  • TMI much?
  • "Whatever" He sighs before walking to his bedroom and quickly coming back with clothes in his hands and handing them to her "Here. You can go now"
  • She growls like a dog but doesn't say anything, instead storming away like a brat still with only the shirt on.
  • Talk about walk of shame.
  • "Morning" I chirp holding back a laugh. Maybe if the girl hadn't been such a bitch to me, I would actually feel sorry for her.
  • He rolls his eyes "I just can't escape you, can I?"
  • "We do live together" I say matter-of-factly, getting up to rinse my bowl "Did you have a good night?"
  • "That's none of your business"
  • I shrug snorting "Sorry. I was just asking. I did though. I had a dream about a dog that could talk. I mean, I know it sounds weird but I wish it was true. Could you imagine-"
  • "Oh my fuck! I don't care" He groans loudly rubbing a hand down his face. I like annoying him. It's very fun. "Leave me alone, okay?"
  • "Jeez okay"
  • "Nicholas owes me so much for putting up with you" He mutters making his own cereal and I just watch him. What? Not my fault his abs and back muscles look so good. "What's your name again?"
  • My eyes and mouth widen and whatever good things I had to say about are taken back "You don't know my name? Are you kidding me? We've been living together for the past 4 days!"
  • "I know your name, I just forgot it" He replies defensively "So are you gonna tell me or not?"
  • I sigh shaking my head. "I can't believe you! Fine. It's Chelsea-Anne Richards"
  • "Was that so hard?"
  • "Whatever. I have class. Bye" My nose flares.
  • I see a ghost of a smirk on his face. He must really like upsetting people if things like my anger makes him smirk "Bye, Chelsea-Anne"
  • Dick!
  • ***
  • "Well well well" Comes a familiar voice. I look behind me and grin at the also familiar face "If it isn't Miss Literature"
  • "Nick" I grin enveloping him in a hug. I haven't seen him since that day he helped me with Kyle because this place is that big, and I don't even have his numbers "It's so good to see you"
  • "Likewise" He grins as we walk on the campus "Well you don't look depressed anything so I'm guessing Kyle hasn't been that bad"
  • I shake my head snorting "He has. You would swear the guy gets his periods or something. His moods will give me a permanent whiplash"
  • "He gets better when you're used to him" He reassures laughing.
  • I roll my eyes "That's what Winnie said"
  • "You know Winnie?" He asks an octave higher.
  • "Yep. She's cool"
  • "She is..." He wonders off looking deep in thought.
  • "Why do you say it like that?" I ask curiously "Do you like her or something?"
  • He smiles sheepishly "Is it that obvious"
  • "Kind of" I giggle "So are you guys together?"
  • "No. She's bi so she's going out with this other girl" He frowns.
  • Winnie is bi? Wow, I never saw that coming.
  • "Sorry to hear that" I frown on his behalf "Does she know that you like her though? I mean you should probably tell her or something."
  • "I'm pretty sure Kyle told her because he can't keep a secret for shit"
