"And what did you tell him?" Kenzie asked, curling her hair in front of the mirror.
"Nothing", I shrugged.
She snapped her head towards me,
"Are you serious? You said nothing?" She said, gaping like a fish.
"Yes, I didn't, what could I say?"
"You could've told him about what they did",
"Are you crazy? Why would I tell him that?"
"He knows them, he could put them in their place", she stated.
"Kenzie, he likes Tanya, I can't tell him and ruin it for him",
"Won't it be better for him?" Kenzie twirled a strand around her finger.
I just put on my glasses and resumed reading Eat Pray Love.
I couldn't concentrate on the book. The thought kept coming back to my head. Would it be better for him?
Just then my thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing. I picked the phone up to see Kat's name on the caller ID.
"Why are you calling me from inside the house?" I asked, annoyed.
"Howdy sis, how are you?" Kat's voice came from the other end.
"Kat?" I sat up on my bed also catching Kenzie's attention, "What did you do?"
"Um nothing", she replied.
"That's your guilty voice, what did you do?"
"I don't have a guilty voice", she said, feigning offence.
"Kat I will personally murder you",
"Okay just pick me up, I'm sending you the address, I'll explain everything", with that she cut the call without giving me a chance to argue.
She sent me the address and I turned on my GPS as me and Kenzie snuck out of the house, making sure mom wouldn't wake up. That woman had radar ears.
I reached the address in a few minutes and waited for Kat to get in the car.
She had been standing out the cold wearing her hoodie. Her nose was red as she climbed into the car.
"Hey Kenzie, why are you here?" She said cheerily as if nothing had happened.
"Sleepover", Kenzie replied.
I drove a few houses away be stopped the car. I turned around and gave Kat a deathly glare. She turned pale.
"Talk", I ordered.
"It was just a prank",
"And what prank was it?"
"A harmless one",
"Kat", I looked at her with a murderous glare in my eyes.
"God you're scary", she shuddered, "Well there's this guy who's been annoying me since I stepped foot in school, and last week he emptied an entire tube of super glue on my chair which ruined my reputation and more importantly, my favorite trousers, so I got him back",
"I didn't ask your entire history with the guy, I asked you what you did",
Kat fumbled in her seat," I might've snuck into his room",
"And?"
"Spray painted something on his wall",
"What was that something?"
She took her phone out of her pocket and gingerly handed it to me.
Kenzie and I let out a gasp at the sight. The room wall along with everything touching it was covered in red spray paint with the bed wrapped in plastic wrap with a huge K on it.
"Oh My God", Kenzie mumbled.
"Mom is going to murder you", I mumbled.
Kat sank lower in her seat," I knooooowww", she groaned.
"Who is this guy for whom you, snuck out at night, into his house and wasted 2 cans of spray paint for?",
"Levi",
"Levi who?"
"Levi Green",
*****
"Oh my God", my mom pressed her fingers to her forehead as she sat down, "This is a disaster", she mumbled.
Me and Kat watched mom as she had a mini panic attack and dad continued reading his paper, because he had seen this too many times.
"I have two daughters, and both of them are destroying my reputation in front of one of the most prestigious families of the town", she said, still massaging her temple.
"Mom, it's not any reason to freak out", Kat said.
Mom gave Kat a death glare which made her sink lower in her seat.
As we were suffering from this situation, my mom's phone rang.
She composed herself and picked up.
"Hello?" She spoke into the phone.
Her face paled and she looked like she was about to faint.
"Did they call the police on me? Is that the police? Am I going to go to jail?" Kat shook me violently.
"Stop it you monkey", I rid myself from her grip.
"Yes, I am doing quite well, How about you?" Mom smiled as she spoke, getting up from her chair, swaying.
"Ok mom's acting like she got a call from the Royal Palace", Kat looked at her with her nose scrunched up in confusion. Even dad was paying attention to her now.
"Maybe they want their long lost relative back", dad said, making me choke on my food and Kat spit out her juice. We both looked at dad, but he looked dead serious.
"Yes if course we're free, ok we'll see you there, Goodbye",
Mom cut the call and looked at us.
"We are going to the Green's house for dinner tonight", she mumbled excitedly. She was shaking violently, almost as if she was about to blow up.
"Mom you like a bottle of cola with Mentos in it", Kat stated.
Mom did not seem to care at all. She looked like she was over the moon as she skipped away to the kitchen. It scared me to see her act like this.
*****
When it was time to leave, mom had put together all our outfits with matching jewelry and everything. I have no idea how she got Kat to wear a dress. That girl used to burn the dresses mom used to get her.
My outfit.
Mom's outfit.
Kat's outfit.
Mom forced me to make an effort on my hair as she tried to straighten Kat's curly hair.
I tried some hairstyles before giving up and curling it.
When we reached the Green's residence, mom kept on cracking her hands, making Kat cringe at the noise.
We rang the doorbell and stood at the door.
The door was opened by a very elegant looking Callie.
"Oh my god, Meredith and James", she hugged my mom who looked like she was about to pass out and then my dad.
"And is this Katrina?" She questioned.
"It's Kat actually", Kat said.
"Yes I saw from that excellent prank you pulled yesterday", she winked as Kat grinned proudly.
"And Harper of course", she hugged name tight.
"Hey Callie", I said, returning her warm hug.
"Please come in", she said. We walked into the house and mom's eyes practically sparkled at the sight of beautiful interiors and the massive size of the house.
I noticed that there were more people than us and figured that this was a dinner party. Mom was swept away by Callie and my dad had started a conversation with Mr. Green, leaving me and Kat standing in the centre, alone and awkward.
"You couldn't find anyone else for a lifelong rivalry", I hissed.
"It's not my fault that he's annoying", she protested.
A boy with black hair and blue eyes, who had a malicious grin on his face like Will descended down the stairs wearing a black suit. I noticed Kat smirking at him as his grin faded and he glared at her. Why does this feel something like a Deja vu moment?
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around, forgetting how to breathe.
It was Mason in a navy blue suit with a smile that showed off his white teeth, his muscles well defined through the material of the suit and his golden locks slightly covering his eyes.
"Hey", he said.
"H-h-hi", I managed to say, more like squeak actually.
"You look beautiful", he said, taking my hand and kissing it.
"You look beautiful too", I realized what I said, "I mean not beautiful, like handsome but I don't mean you're not beautiful, you are beautiful just not in a f-f-feminine way".
Damn Harper, smooth. Real Smooth.
"Thanks", he chuckled at my reaction.
"Harper!" a high pitched squeal interrupted from behind me. I turned around, only to get engulfed in a hug and the smell of perfume, strong enough to make me gag.
I pulled away to see Chelsea's makeup plastered face. Well that's terrifying.
Tanya's dress.
Courtney's dress
Chelsea's dress
I nodded trying to cover the look of disgust on my face with a saccharine smile. I feel like I didn't do a good job at it.
Tanya and Courtney also sauntered over to us.
"That dress is really.......uh...cute", Tanya said. l looked at their lavish gowns and then at my dress. No shit I look cute. Note the sarcasm.
"Thanks", I replied, running my hands down my dress.
As if I'm some fairy godmother going bippity-bobbity boo and my dress would turn into some ball worthy gown just by running my hands down it.
"What are you guys doing here?", I asked.
"Because our families are really close", Chelsea replied, "You know like we're the richest families in town and we belong here", I saw the disgust on her face as she looked at Kat and me.
"And you must be Harper's sister", she looked at Kat.
Kat didn't say anything.
"What happened? Are you mute?" Chelsea asked
"When I have nothing nice to say, I choose to be quiet", Kat gave her a grin.
"You little br-", Chelsea tried to advance towards Kat but a tall figure stepped in the way.
"Chelsea", he said, "Stay away from her",
"But Will", Chelsea shrieked, "She's being rude to me.
"I'm not being rude", Kat rolled her eyes, "I'm just saying what everyone else is thinking", she gave her signature cheeky grin again.
Chelsea flared her nostrils and left.
"I wouldn't expect Harp's little sister to be any less savage than that", Will turned around and high fived Kat.
"What's your name?" he asked, "Something with a K, I bet", he teased.
"Yea my name's Kat with a K", Kat blushed. Wait. Blushed?
I have known this child ever since she came out of the womb and I have NEVER EVER seen her blush. What the actual hell did Will do to my sister?
"I have to admit", he said, "You're a lot prettier than Harper",
"William", I said. Will glared at me. He hates being called William.
"Yes Charlotte?" He winked at me. Shit. I forgot that Will knows my middle name. It sounds like such a mom like name, that I never use it. I hated it with all of my being.
"Stop flirting with my little sister", I took Kat by the shoulder and pulled her away, "And don't you dare call me Charlotte again",
"Sure Charlotte", he gave me cheeky grin.
I would've ripped his tongue out, right then and there but we were interrupted by Callie calling us for dinner.
Their dining room was even bigger than my room. Then again every room in their house was bigger than my room.
I sat down in the seat next to the head of the table where Callie was sitting, with Will beside me.
Right opposite to me and Will were Levi and Kat who didn't look very happy to be sitting next to each other.
From the other side, of the table Chelsea was glaring daggers at me. Courtney was scrolling through her phone and our darling Tanya McAdams had her hands all over Mason.
I took off the grey overcoat that I was wearing and Will's jaw dropped to floor.
"What?" I asked.
"Um n-n-nothing", he stuttered, his cheeks going red.
"Aww is Will blushing?" I pinched his cheeks and he swatted my hand away.
"I don't blush Harp", he hissed.
"Oh so are your cheeks are always this red?"
"Shut up Harp", he hissed again.
"It's my mouth, I can do whatever I want", I remarked.
Suddenly, Will's hand went to my bare thigh and I gasped.
"One more word and..." his hand started travelling upwards. I held it in place and made a zipping motion on my lips.
"Good girl", he smirked. He let his hand relax on my thigh.
The food was served and I have to admit it was too lavish for my taste. The entire time we ate, Will's hand remained on my thigh.
"Chelsea had requested me to announce", Callie suddenly said, "That she, Tanya, Courtney and Mason are going on a trip to Mason's family beach house for the weekend and they would love to have both of you go as well", she said to me and Will.
We exchanged a look.
"Mom, you know I don't like road trips", Will grumbled.
Callie glared at Will who hung his head in defeat.
Callie looked at me and I nodded.
Suddenly, my phone beeped. I unlocked it see a text.
I will make sure this is the worst weekend of your life, you slutty whore.
It was from an unknown number but I knew very well who it was once I looked at the smug expression on Chelsea's face.
Before I could shut my phone, Will snatched it from my hand and his eyes skimmed over the screen. His jaw clenched in anger and his hold on my thigh tightened, he looked like he was ready to kill Chelsea right then and there. He was about to get up when I grabbed his hand and shook my head.
"Harp", he whispered, "I'm going to ask you this one more time and you better be honest", I gulped, "Was it Chelsea?"
I looked away and but he pressurized me.
"Harp, answer me", he was making it harder and harder not to say anything.
Finally I took a breath and nodded.
"Yes, it was Chelsea".
Will hand enveloped mine, his grip tightening as he gave Chelsea the death glare.
Sooooo...... Harper is going on a trip with everyone!! What do you think is going to happen?
Are you team Warper or team Hason? (LOLZ I suck at ship names😂)
You guys are in for a treat. So give me some motivation for the next chapter sweeties!!
