We went
back to Carter’s house and hung out like how we used to
before there were even any problems between me and Kel. We played
truth or dare, never have I ever, and even hide and seek but it was
just a ton of fun. During one of the rounds I hid with Mattie and
Duke in the shower who asked me if I was going to stop hooking up
with Cody now that Kel and I were friends again. I bit my lip and
tried to think of a lie.
“I’m guessing that’s a no,” Duke whispered.
“But if she does find out, Mattie and I didn’t ever
know.”
“Guys, I really am going to try to hook up with him less. And
if Kel keeps being a good friend to me, I won’t hook up with
him at all,” I said. After we were found I hid again with
Carter in the closet in his room and kissed him so if he went back
to his friends and told them, Duke and Mattie would believe me. Of
course I sent a text to Cody telling him though.
I even hid with Kelli during one of the rounds under Carter’s
mattress which we found to a really bad idea once we realized we
could barely breathe. But hey, we won, and got a really good
heart-to-heart out of it. After that we watched a movie and I was
expecting Kelli to obnoxiously cuddle with Cody on the couch, but
she didn’t. She cuddled with me. I guess she finally started
to realize she doesn’t need to show off the fact that she has
a boyfriend to prove that she has one.
I told my parents I was sleeping over Kelli’s and she told
her parent’s she was sleeping over mine. We ended up staying
the night at Carter’s house where he gave us big t-shirts to
sleep in.
“It looks like you guys aren’t wearing pants,”
Carter laughed as Kel and I snuggled up under a blanket on the
couch.
“Because we’re not,” I laughed. Carter proceeded
to take off his shorts so he was just standing there in a t-shirt
and his boxers. “Now we match,” he laughed.
“Carter! Put your pants back on right now, you have girls
over!” Carter’s mom stood in the doorway of the
basement. “Sorry mom,” Carter put his shorts back on
and we all laughed at him.
“Now girls, your parents said it was okay that you sleep over
here?” Carter’s mom asked. We both nodded and smiled.
“Okay good, just checking. I am so sorry about my son, he is
so embarrassing!”
“Mom!” Carter laughed. “I’m right
here!”
“Unfortunately,” she said. We all laughed and she told
us that the food she ordered for us should arrive soon. I guess
Kelli and I had fallen asleep before the food had gotten there
because I woke up to the sound of Carter and Cody fighting over the
last slice of pizza next to three other empty boxes of pizza and
empty cartons of chicken and fries.
“You guys ate all of it??” I asked sleepily. I looked
around to see Mattie and Duke sleeping, Graham and Jace still awake
but very tired.
“Good job, you woke her up,” Carter burped in
Cody’s face and took a bite out of the last slice, claiming
it. “You might wake Kelli up too.”
“Kelli’s a really heavy sleeper, you
won’t,” I assured them. Cody and I gave each other the
same look that the other guys wouldn’t notice, but that we
clearly knew meant we had a clear opportunity to hook up when they
all fell asleep.
