Chapter 11: Drunken Roomie

|| Theo ||

It was around midnight.

I was watching a horror movie in the living room with Clover sitting in my lap. I vaguely watched some creature creep out of the closet on the TV while spooning the ice cream tub in my hand, hyper-aware of the clock ticking.

Even though I tried to keep my eyes on the screen, they just kept fleeting to the front door. As if I was waiting for someone to come home. No, I wasn't waiting for Annabelle to get home. No way. The door design was just very interesting.

I heard footsteps coming towards the living room.

'Theo, why are you still up on a school night?" Wyatt asked.

'Just felt like watching some movie with ice cream," I replied, gluing my eyes to the people screaming on the screen as if I was so invested in it.

'If you were a girl, I would say you were on your periods," he said with an eye roll. He glanced towards the door and asked in concern, 'Ara isn't home yet, is she?"
