The whole group showed up
an hour later, dressed in old, raggy clothes as instructed. I
adjusted my oversized white tshirt, loosely tucking it into a
pair of torn jeans.
“ohmigod you guys, I’m like dyyying of excitement
right now, you have to tell us what we’re doing. Like..
seriously,” Allie giggled, tossing her bright blonde
hair over her shoulder, her blue eyes sparkling with
intrigue.
“she was talking about ridiculous possibilities the
whole way over here, if you don’t tell her what
we’re doing soon, I think she’s gonna
explode,” Cole told me, his eyes staring into mine with
a hidden feeling that i couldnt quite place. "okay, well
since this house is brand new and totally boring," I
began, twirling around on my heels as i held out my arm to
display the white walls like I was Vanna White on Wheel of
Fortune, “Hannah and i figured that we had to spice the
place up." I finished my part of the explanation,
turning the rest over to Hannah who I knew was eager to
speak.
"so we thought you guys would like to help us paint the
house, every color imaginable," she smiled a broad,
toothy smile and i couldnt help but mirror it. It was nice to
see Hannah step out of her shell and finally open up to
someone besides me, and I could tell that she really felt
comfortable here.
I gestured towards the paint cans, tarps, and brushes placed
sloppily against the wall. Everyone rushed over quickly,
grabbing a brush and a paint color of choice, before meeting
back together so we could discuss who would be painting which
rooms.
I already knew who I wanted to be paired with but I refused
to let it show, so I ignored the flawless boy standing in
front of me and pretended like I could care less about the
whole thing. It was obvious that Logan was hoping to be
paired up with Hannah, and as much as she would hate to admit
it, I knew that Hannah was hoping for the exact same
thing.
"well? who wants to paint which rooms?" I asked,
scanning my eyes across the whole group in search of the
first to speak.
"Jane and I will take the downstairs bathroom,"
Richard volunteered, entertwining his hand with
Jane's.
"no doubt so they can makeout the whole time,"
Logan scoffed, but Richard just stuck his tounge out in reply
before dragging his baby blue paint can and antisocial
girlfriend towards the bathroom.
"I wouldnt count on them to get much work done,"
Harper stated, rolling her eyes as she inspected her hot pink
manicure, matching perfectly with her paint color.
"you and Allie should totally do my bedroom," I
told Harper, hoping to narrow down my choices, "your hot
pink and her light purple will lool killer together," I
smiled. They agreed, giggling loudly as they ran up the
stairs to the second door on the left, the one I had directed
them towards.
"alright, I guess that just leaves us four," Hannah
mumbled as I heard my bedroom door being closed upstairs,
sealing the deal.
"me and Hannah can take a room," Logan offered up,
blushing slightly, "I- I mean.. if thats okay with you,
Hannah," he stumbled, probably not used to being nervous
around a girl. I smiled at how cute they were.
"definitely," she gleamed, taking his hand,
"we can do my room."
once the two of them were upstairs, laughing loudly at some
stupid joke Logan had told, Cole and I stood alone in the
kitchen. "well? you wanna take the living room?" I
asked nonchalantly, hoping he would be okay with us working
together. I knew I was.
"forsure," he gave me a boyish, sideways grin,
holding up the two remaining paint cans, "which
color?"
"ummm.." I pretended to think, though the answer
was obvious, "red." I finally 'decided',
knowing that lime green would have been a terribly tacky
living room color.
"alright, then lets get started," Cole replied,
grabbing me by the knees and throwing me over his shoulder,
causing me to shreik in surprise.
"put me down!" I demanded, pounding on his back
with my fists. All of my blood was rushing to my head
terribly fast and i couldnt see straight. "seriously
Cole, put me down!" I shreiked, relieved as he pulled me
back to earth and set me safely back on the ground, allowing
my blood to flow normally again. I gave him a sheepish grin,
urging myself to forget the terrible memories that came with
being held upside down, especially not when such a handsome
boy was standing in my living room.
"lets get to work," I announced, holding up a brush
and giving him the fakest smile I could muster. I guess it
was convincing enough, because Cole just shrugged, picking up
a navy blue tarp to spread across the
floor.
