Bella
"We all will meet at Christopher's house" Seth stated again while getting on his motorcycle. "You all know where it is right?" Chris question with a grin and I roll my lips inside my mouth from the amount of frustration I'm feeling right now
"No jerk, where is it?" I asked sarcastically and he smirks "Right next to yours" as I turn around to walk towards my car I feel his grip tightening around my arm pulling me back a few steps "And I believe my bedroom is opposite of yours" he whispered causing me to shiver
In disgust
For sure
Right at this moment, we're all getting in our cars to leave. "Okay, let's go" I announce pulling my arm away from his grip without even giving him a look
I start the car to leave and switch on the soft songs as a background to the silent car, come to think of it I need a drink, maybe I should stop at a café or something
After fifteen minutes, I stop in front of Chris’s house which is next to mine
Unfortunately
“What took you long?” Adam asks and I roll my eyes “I had to get a drink” I said raising my cup “Did you get me any?” Chris asked and I give him a blank look “I’m sorry why should I get you anything?” I asked and he scoffs, Chris slowly unlocks the front door but then we hear screaming, we open the door as fast as possible to find Cameron punching Brandon "What the hell?" Lucy yells out loud "What's going on?" Seth asks confused but when he turns his head towards Brandon and Cameron his eyes go wide "Oh hey guys" Brandon greets us normally and Cameron smiles.
"Why the hell were you both punching each other?" Adam asks "Oh nothing, Brandon was teaching me how to box, with the right skills and all" Cameron explained "And what do you think of my brother's skill's?" Christopher asked Brandon in a mocking way but Brandon takes it seriously "He needs to work more on his speed" he answers back.
"Why will you teach him boxing, I told you that you can only use the boxing skills in case of emergency's" I scold Brandon and he rolls his eyes "Oh come on Bella, I taught him the skills you taught me, come on Cameron show her" Brandon said and Cameron nods his head as he takes a step towards me but before he could do anything I tighten my grip on his arms and twist it, as I hear his groan I flip him upside down receiving another groan
But to make sure he doesn't get a bruise on his back I made sure to have my foot under his body "Wow" he whispered "Don't mess with me" I say to make it more dramatic and release him.
When I turn around I found the three boys looking at me shocked "What?" I ask them "Nothing" Christopher answers back and I nod my head
They wouldn't really suspect anything, right? I mean self-defense is normal, maybe they would think I took self-defense classes before. Ugh, I'm thinking way too much about it
*****
After a couple of minutes, we all ended up in the living room "Okay so our project is going to be about Cleopatra" I inform them "Why do you get to choose the person we are going to write about?" Chris questions "Because I'm the smart one" I answer back "Are you saying I'm stupid he asks raising an eyebrow, "I said no such thing"
"Ya but you indicated it"
"Seriously guys will you both stop with your kiddish games?" Lucy snapped at us "Okay so each pair is going to do a research about something different about Cleopatra's life" Lucy says
"Who is Cleopatra?" Adam asked "You don't know who Cleopatra is?" I asked and he nods his head "Dude, you're dumb" Seth laughs and Adam frowns "I was kidding"
"Were you really?" Chris asked
"Okay so Lucy and Seth together, me and Adam and then Bella and Christopher" Tiana announced cutting all of the childish and useless conversations
And then I realized what she said
"No way in hell I'm working with him" I yell "No changes, now go" Lucy ordered us, great now she sounds like Mr Henry.
"We'll take my bedroom, Seth and Lucy can take the kitchen and Adam and Tiana can work in the guest's room" Chris said. After arguing about what each pair was going to work on Chris and I ended up doing a research about Cleopatra's love life.
Her love life always fascinated me

“Why didn’t you want to work with me?” Chris asked “Pft – just cause-“
“You know from how much you are trying to avoid me I’ll start thinking that you actually like me” he said and I scoff “Please, I might as well jump of a cliff”
“The day you say you admit it I will be here waiting for you” he stated as he entered his room
Chris's bedroom wasn't bad and it wasn't messy at all, in fact it was neat, tidy and dare I say smelled good, but jokes on him because I got a glimpse of under his bed and noticed how he has stuffed a few things under the bed
Oh my God, what is that?
“Nice boxers” I chuckle snapping his attention “What are you ta - s**t!” he walked as fast as possible towards me to get the boxers but trips over his bag pack “s**t!” I throw my head back laughing and throw myself over the bed
"Your bed is very comfortable, I would not mind staying here forever" I joked and he chuckles as he tried hiding his boxers “Nice ducks” I laugh as he throws a pillow slamming it against my face "And about the bed, do you know what we can do on that comfy bed together" he said wiggling his eyebrow, I scoff and hit him on the shoulder blushing
Pervert.
Christopher got his laptop and I got mine, as soon as he switched on his laptop I gasp “Wow, what is that? I asked “What are you talking about?” he questioned confused “Oh I just thought you had ducks as your background-“ I smiled “-you know so it can match you cute ducky boxers”
“Damn it!” he slams another pillow and I start laughing out loud so hard
“Let’s just start on our project, besides these are not my boxers alright!” he snapped causing me to roll my eyes “Oh okay I believe you” I chuckle “I’ll leave if you talk about this again” he threatens
“Okay okay, I’m sorry. So Cleopatra..”
“You know she was one of the hottest females back then, you know all Arab girls have this attractive thing about them” Chris said and I give him a blank look “How do you know, have you met with an Arab girl before?” I asked and he smiles “No, well not yet”
“The only thing I know about Cleopatra is that she was in love with Antonia-“
“Oh you know he gave her a yellow box on her birthday” I said and he raises an eyebrow “No I’m serious, the yellow shade of that box was the same shade of the ducks on your boxers”
