~Elena~

“Mike!” I yelled out once I’m inside the house. I hear a dump over my head, then a door swinging open, and then the heavy footsteps of someone running down the stairs.

“What? What’s wrong? Who do I need to kill?” Mike asked numerous questions in the span of 2 seconds, his wide eyes look at me with worried.

“Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to know if you had cooked”

“Couldn’t you have done that, after you checked the kitchen?” He asked glaring at me.

“I didn’t think of that, oops” I said

“Don’t act all coy with me” He snarled and ran a hand through his face. “No, I haven’t made any food, and I won’t. Because the team has a practice in about 20 minutes.” Mike explained and that’s when I noticed his clothes, he has a grey crop top, some loose shorts, and his white Nike socks.

“That’s okay, I will cook you guys something to eat then” I said, and Mike ruffled my hair

“Have I mentioned that I’m happy you are here?” He asked and I smiled

“Yes, you have. About a dozen times already”

After cooking the guys some spaghetti and meatballs, I settled myself a plate and walked into the living room, turning on the TV to watch something. I decided on watching a kid’s movie, and relaxing, I didn’t have any homework, so there wasn’t much to do.

I hear the doorbell ring. Weird I wasn’t expecting anyone. I pause the movie, and get up, to look at who it might me. Opening the door, I see ice cream being pushed forward into my face.

“Ice cream, and movie night!” Violet squealed out and I laughed.

“What are you guys doing here?” I asked as I stepped aside, letting the girls come in.

“Vee thought it was a good idea, to have a girl’s night” Bree said as he walked into the living room and flopping down on the love seat.

“I appreciate it, I have something to tell you guys” I say in a low voice, and both heads turned in my direction.

“Well spill” Bree urged, and I laughed. I take a sit next to Violet, and she hands me a pint of chocolate ice cream. I open it and take a big scoop, after downing it, they both look impatiently at me.

“I pumped into the Devils” I said in a whisper, and they looked clueless at me. “The guys I told you about! The three guys my ex-boyfriend hate” I explained, and they both nodded their head.

“And what happened?” Violet asked as she scoops a spoon of her cookie & creams ice cream.

“They didn’t seem to be brother that I was their enemy’s girlfriend, and they even invited me to a party” I said with a shrug.

“Wait rephrase that, they don’t know that you two broke up?” Bree asked

“I don’t think so” I said slowly. “I also didn’t correct any of them. They would probably use me, to get information out of me, so that they can beat Noah in a basketball game.”

“And what wrong with that? I mean he deserves more than to lose a few basketball games, he cheated on you for the love of God” Violet exclaimed, and I gulp down. Violet has always been the chill friend, while Bree the complete opposite. So, seeing this little outburst of hers is really something else.

“I guess there is nothing wrong with that, it’s just that I don’t want to be used” I said. “At least not again, because we all know I was used by Adriana and Noah” I place my ice cream on the table, not wanting anymore.

“First no one likes to be used, and second, they are both bitches that deserve to be run over by a train.” Bree said with a scuff. “I don’t know these Devils, because I don’t like basketball, but don’t close off with the fear of being used again” Bree finished with a soft smile on her face.

“Woah! Who knew you were such a wise person?” I asked with a laugh

“I have a way with words” Bree said moving around her spoon at my direction. Me and Vee looked at each other before bursting out in laughter.

-

“Thanks again for this girls’ night” I said with a smile, as I looked at Bree and Violet.

“Any time Lena” Bree said giving me a brief hug.

“We will see you later babe” Violet said waving off, as they walked away and into Bree’s car. They are both roommates and leave on campus, not like me and other few students that live a few streets away from campus.

I close the door and walk upstairs for a bath and some sleep.

I throw myself onto my bed after my shower, and after jumping a few times, I grab my phone and text Ale.

Me: I made you and the guys some spaghetti and meatballs. It’s in the stove.

Alejandro: You are the best sis; we are about finish here anyways.

Alejandro: Are you going to sleep?

Me: Yeah

Alejandro: OK. Good night then

I turn off my phone, and my lamp light, that was the only light in my room that was on. After getting comfortable in my bed, I hear my phone buzzing again. I mentally groan and curse under my breath. “I swear that if it’s any of the guys, I’m going to kill them.”

I pick up my phone and see an unknown ID with a message.

Unknown: Hey Lena! I’m calling you Lena because we are already friends, and I don’t care if you think otherwise!

What the actual hell?

Me: Who is this?

Unknown: I’m hurt you don’t remember me.

Unknown: I told you I was going to find your phone number ?

I laugh as the memories from this morning come to me.

Me: Hey Jackson

Cotton Candy: Hey

Cotton Candy: I was just passing through to send you the address to the party

Cotton Candy: Also, what do you mean Rome is the more handsome one out of the three of us?

Cotton Candy: We are going to have a serious conversation tomorrow in class

Me: Good night, Jackson

I smiled as I send that text. It’s just been a day and the three Devils have made me smile, more than anyone could ever do, even more than Noah.

It’s weird, to think that they are being nice to me. I always thought they hated me, for loving their enemy. But after spending time and talking to them, they couldn’t even be any less interested in that fact.

I’m starting to think we might start to get along just fine.
