High School Teenagers

Chapter Nineteen. *Chloe's Diary*

Nice Dress, Little Timmy

Very smart. Very, very smart, Dr. Jackass," Justin said looking at Aiden's shorts. Aiden wore pretty but ugly pink shorts with yellow lightning bolts. Beverly shrieks, jabbing a perfectly-manicured finger in Jameson's face, nearly poking his nose. Jameson keeps his eyes on the finger, and his head c****d back to avoid it. Jameson steps a side, and steps out its way, but it follows him. Logan's eyebrows raise high, and gives me a worried side look that screams: "Help me!"

Me and Justin are at Sundae Island because on Sundays we get sundaes, and Beverly went to go grab our orders which comes on a rolling tray because there's so many of us. My 8 brothers, my 1 sister, my boyfriend and his sister drowned with Jameson and Cooper, Breanna Asher and Liilian Masterlynn. Brea and LeeLee sat side by side each other staring at my brother's pinky pants. Raleigh sat beside me because we both hate Brea and Liilian. Lilly Barnes sat next to Jameson and he looked like he was cool with it.

"I don't look that bad. Do I?" Aiden asked and looked at Raleigh. Raleigh raised a brow at him.

"You look like you belong on a Qubo channel," Raleigh said. "What state of mind were you in putting that on?" Aiden snared at her and Oliver and I snorted a laugh, hiding it behind our books.

What just happened was, Beverly outsmarted Jameson telling him that one sister will go blind this weekend and he automatically said Brea so, Beverly shook her head and that's when she shrieked; but no one can piece together why Aiden decided to wear pink shorts.

"A confident one," Aiden said, putting his straw in his mouth and taking a sip of it. Raleigh looked at me and I looked at her. "What's wrong with being confident?" Aiden sang a song that me, Logan, and Raleigh can't stand.

"If you weren't our brother I'd throw my sundae on you," Raleigh said staring at Aiden and grabbing Justin's sundae instead of hers, Justin grabbed his sundae from her and shook his head mumbling "mm-mhm" which Oliver and Ivan found funny.

"So, I hear that Raleigh is going as Barbie this weekend?" Brea said and looked at Raleigh happily. "Why not Chloe?"

"Because I don't like you or LeeLee-Ann so my plan was to stay home, but for my sister's sake I'm going with her," I said stabbing my straw into my sundae harder with every word. Brea looked at Raleigh and Lillian and LeeLee looked at me and Raleigh.

"So, Justin what about you? Who're you going as?" Liilian asked him, but he was already eyeballing her.

"I'm only going to help Raleigh crash it and to look after her," he said sucking his straw and a spoonful of banana in his mouth.

"Does your parents know?" Lilian was already fighting back a laugh.

"No, but our Crew does," Logan says, stabbing a strawberry in the head with a fork. "I'd like to ask them if it's okay if the twins bring their stun gun?" The girls looked at each other and then to me and Raleigh and Eve. Beverly chewed her sundae instead of sucking on it with the straw.

"I’m sure that they wouldn't mind," Oliver said, "Besides, we're just the guests." He leaned his elbows on the table and leaned on them.

"Don't get any ideas, Asher, 'cause I don't think that you're gonna achieve that," Gabe said sliding in the seat next to Beverly.

"How'd you get here?" Aaron asked him and pointing with his cup.

"Laura," Gabe spoke, "the others went crazy over the cards and she yanked me out the door. I swear she gets better and better with my face expressions than Mom and Dad ever would."

"Well, Laura is our translator," Raleigh said. "Be happy, because I was about to pass out." Gabe chortled at her and looked at Jameson and Cooper. "Hopefully, they'd fall for it."

"Kevin falls for anything, and everything," Aaron said, "he fell for it when Mom told him that her and Dad were divorcing."

"Hay, that had me under a rock," Kaden said pointing his spoon at Aaron. "I was thinking about packing and moving to Canada with Aunt Sal."

"I was thinking about moving in with Justin and Beverly," Raleigh said.

"And I'd be right behind you," I said pointing a finger at her with my sundae cup.

"Who wouldn't?" Beverly said, "I'd be booking a ticket to Miami to Bethany's house if I found out that our parents were divorcing, I wouldn't wanna be here with my brother." 

Bethany is Beverly's twin cousin, they look alike, sound alike, dress alike but they aren't alike. Bethany sings Opera like Raleigh used too and Beverly just sang like a singer would. Beth dances and does ballerina and Eve just makes music. Bethany has black hair and brown highlights and Beverly has brown hair and no highlights. They both have high cheekbones and dark eyes. Just think of Bethany as Beverly's twin sister but with different hair and eyes. That's the best that I can describe Bethany to be honest.

"You two are like crazy close," Raleigh said.

"I know," Beverly said with sarcasm.

"You'd be somewhere in Europe," Dylan said sucking a banana wod from his straw. He looked like if was to suck harder, he'd suck the entire straw down his throat. Which has happened before, maybe once or twice.

"Yeah, or in Australia," Beverly added and put her head down in her glass. Me and Raleigh laughed at Beverly's response.

Jameson chimed himself in, "I thought we were here to discuss business?"

"We are," Raleigh said, "Chloe's the blonde, with hazel eyes and she's the skinny one next to Beverly－no offense－Eve."

"Non taken," Beverly said fanning me and putting her straw in her mouth.

"But, that is something that Raleigh has to do," Aiden said sliding his now empty glass across the table and onto the tray that our sundae's came on. As big as the tray was you would think that the empty glass sundae's belonged to the entire customers of the place.

"I swear, I'm running a god damn zoo," Ivan said under his breath. Raleigh looked at him and back to her sundae.

"Does Mom or Dad or anybody know about us here? Or out of the house?" Aaron asked Gabe but his words were for me. Gabe looked at me and I looked at Raleigh who was looking somewhere across the place.

I turned to Justin, "What'd you give her before y'all got here?" I asked him. Justin turned to me and shrugged his shoulders mumbling a "mm-hmm" his cheeks looking like a chipmunk instead of a hungry hippo.

"I just borrowed her," Justin said and licked his lips. "I'm just as confused as you are." Beverly c****d a brow at her twin brother and forced a smile.

"Let me catch you trying to tye-dye her shoes again," Beverly said to her brother.

"And how'd that go for y'all?" Jameson said smiling and turning to Raleigh. "Anything messy or just right?" Raleigh growled under her breath before Gabe kicked Jameson under the table.

"You've got 10 seconds before I stab you," Raleigh said holding up her spoon. Which she will find a way to draw blood from.

"How can you stab someone with a spoon?" Brea asked, and Raleigh's looking over to her. Brea gave a nervous laugh and looked at Liilian and Lillian.

"Do you really want someone to answer that?" Aaron said. Brea, LeeLee and Lilly looked at each other, concerned.

"I can turn your phone into a necklace with your ears," Raleigh now added, making everyone at the table to stop eating for a second. The only ones who haven't lost their appetite were, me, Justin, Raleigh and Gabe.

"You've got to work on your people skills," Aaron said.

"He's a Cooper, he's not people," Raleigh said and reached across the table, plucking Jameson on the head.

"No. No, you're really not," Cooper said agreeing, "and I'm the pop-kid and even I know better than to piss off Raleigh." Of course Cooper knows, he's the only one that knows. But probably because Raleigh's taught him her lessons more than once.

"That's because she beat your ass more than once with her Dad's golf club," LeeLee said with her face in her cookies and cream sundae. We all had cookies and cream, just not Cooper and Lilly. Cooper looked at her with a half-lidded eyes and crooked brows.

"So, the females are going as Barbie from Legally Blonde and the males are whoever they want to be," Jameson said.

"I'm just doing it to get Eve off my back," I mumbled under my breath, hoping no one heard but only Eve and Kaden did.

"You don't want to be Elle Woods?" Eve spoke, "you said that you'll do it."

"No, I said that I'd do it," Raleigh spoke, "I'm the one that's going Capital Barbie." Justin looked at Raleigh and his whole demeanor changed.

"... the hell you ain't," he said looking at her like he was gonna swing on her, which I dare he would—he'd be getting slapped by me.

"Y'all's parents won't let her dye her hair?" LeeLee asked elbowing Brea and raising her brows at her.

"Our parents are a complication," Raleigh and me said in unison.

"And if one of us even dyes our hair, truth be told. That s**t ain't gonna fly," Raleigh said.

"Then how about you guys, go in wigs?" Brea said, "that way your parents won't know and maybe ask one of your butlers or nanny's to do it." Brea smiled at us and me and Raleigh exchanged views and turned back to Brea. We smiled at each other and folded our hands and leaned forward.

"That's a good idea," I said, "we'll meet you guys in school. Lunch; and I'll have ideas on what to wear. Makeup, jewelry and shoes involved." Jameson, Cooper, and Brea and LeeLee and Lillian looked up at me and then to each other.
