9 Chapter 9

Upon entering Stella's bedroom I close the door, walk back to my previous spot on the bed and place the pizza in between us

"Why do boys have to be such jerks?" I sigh in confusion

Stella turns to me, if Stella is turning to me while the movie is still playing that means she's serious, then she gives me a confused look

"Did something happen?" She asks genuinely concerned

I contemplate telling her the story downstairs but, decide against it

"No, while I was downstairs I was just thinking about why boys are jerks" I say trying not to make my voice waver so she thinks I'm telling the truth, she let's out a relieved sigh making me stare at her in confusion

"I thought my brother was hitting on you again. I was getting worried and was about to come downstairs until I heard you coming up the stairs" she explains to me making me suddenly feel paler as I think about the after school fiasco with Easton.

"I need to get drunk" I say.
