Oh why? Why? Just why? Can't nights just last forever please! It's just 7am and the activities going on in this house are driving me insane. First there is really loud music. Then shouting. Sounds of things breaking or falling. I know for sure that I heard it correct someone was in my room earlier and from how wide open my door is I know for sure.
Oh life, what did I ever do to you!
Grumpily I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to clean up. I have been asleep for 17 hours. I know. See yesterday I was busy with Abhi checking out memes until lunch was made by Raj. Okay, maybe I fell asleep 20 minutes later. So... Raj is the cook for our house.
I mean Skai's house. He had refused to let Iris eat claiming she makes him uncomfortable and that he only made a meal for 8 . We are nine.
Skai and Kyle were very pissed about that. The rest excluding Izzy and me of course, rationally tried to reason with Raj about it. He said he hates her and that he won't cook for us ever again if it meant cooking for the she also. Harsh even for Mr Grinch who stole Christmas.
Watching wordlessly all that drama unfolding before me made me sleepy so after a few forkfuls of salad I dragged myself to bed. And it's just now I am waking up. I'm actually wondering what drama those people downstairs have planned today.
I would normally hate drama. Okay kidding, nothing like a good drama filled telenovela shit . Right here where I live.
On that note, I hurry up to go see some. Haha. Who am I kidding! I just do things in my usual pace. Slow and steady. Sage pace. Space. What? I did not just do a Jace . Jace rhymes. James. His doing. I roll my eyes like I know my drill too well.
Okay, so where is all this energy coming from so early in the morning? As I am finished, I go downstairs. I meet Raj on the stairs walking like he'd rather go back to bed. At least I'm not alone in this. But wait, if he is here then who made breakfast?
"'Sup Grumpy, guess we won't be having your food for real? " I ask him in my croaky morning voice.
He turns around lazily to face me as he is two steps ahead. Offers me a lazy smile then shrug. Wow I guess refusing someone to eat can be energy draining.
What? Just look at the guy, he's like a zombie. You can't see him? No? Well I can. See, there is these bags under his eyes. A day old stubble. Drooping shoulders. You get it? I should be reminded not to fall into his footsteps.
Now that line sounds familiar... Oh Rita said something along those lines. Too bad she'd be disappointed to know today I've worn black ripped jeans and a grey long sleeve tube top. Izzy would be proud. Oh no she will not.
"Look at that. She has clothes! " Izzy says sarcastically as I walk into the kitchen.
"Don't jinx it. Next thing you know I am hopping upstairs to change. " I reply my eyes narrowed at her. "And morning to you too. "
"Good morning Spooky. "
Great the nickname. I look in her direction to see her smiling at me. I frown. And not because of the greeting or her. Okay her a little. But because Skai has his left hand tangled in her hair their faces so close.
He is trying to feed her a banana. I say trying because every time he brings the banana in a rotating manner into her mouth he removes it before she bites it and then rubs his knuckles along her lower lip opening her mouth wider. That act would look innocent.
No not innocent. Playful might be the word. But him being a St Laurent shows clearly it is not. Interestingly enough, the rest of the population is oblivious to that...
Did I sleep too much and miss something?
"Fuck, Skai are you trying to get laid in our eating space? "Raj shouts looking disgusted .
I feel you man!
"Piss off. "Skai replies bored not sparing him a glance. "It's my house. "
We know.
"Can you have your hands off Iris for like just five minutes. "Mitch snaps.
Skai looks at him warningly and Mitch is unfazed by that he in fact crosses his arms over his chest and gives him a pointed look.
Boys and there need for challenges.
"Well make me. " Skai says arrogantly smirking.
Ugh! You could suffocate from the overdose of testosterone in these boys.
"Boys before you go on and be stupid. Just back up for a second she is not worth your years friendship. "Izzy pipes in glaring at Iris.
Ouch.
"That was uncalled for. " Abhi says calmly as both Skai and Kyle hiss, "Heeey "
"You are one cold bitch! Why would you say that about her and you don't even know her? "Jace says looking disappointed.
"Take that back. "Mitch hisses.
"So now you are all taking her side. "Izzy looks like she's in the verge of tears, "If you all think she's going to sleep with you in return you have something else coming. " She sniffles, "You... I hope you know they just plan to use you. "
"Izzy just drop it. "Skai says softly knowing very well his sister would be crying any moment.
Kyle scoffs.
"Izzy, I know you don't like Iris very much but maybe don't say such things about her. " Abhi tries to reason.
"But she would have said worse. "Pointing to Kyle, "He said he can't wait to see her destroy me. " Izzy complains like a small kid.
"So you destroy her before she does you? " Kyle asks with an eye roll.
Izzy ignores him. I remember I said I wanted drama and now I don't want it so much. But when have I ever gotten what I wanted? With these two, things could escalate really quick. Kyle please let it go, is my silent prayer as I watch his brown unamused eyes.
