Ella Huntley grew up from the hood. Being bullied was the life she got used to. From her parents, her family and everyone in her community. That is, until her life gets turned around by someone she never expected.
Now she is Living with the Millers...
Saturday, the most boring day of the week. The only interesting things I could do were watching TV, reading, and eating. Well, that is until I got a text from Audrey.
A~ Hey. I am coming over to your place.
E~ umm sure.
A~ Oh and I am coming with Ava and Val
E~ Is there an event or something?
A~ Can't a girl just visit her friend without any questions?
E~ Alright fine sorry.
A'~ great. See you in ten.
Ten minutes later.
Audrey, Ava, and Val showed up at my house. The boys were up in the game room too.
Audrey shot Val a look and Val went up the elevator. Ok, weird but ok. The boys came down a minute later and they all stared at me
I nervously laughed. "What is happening? Did.... did I do something wrong?" I asked. They all burst into laughter and I stood there awkwardly not knowing what was so funny.
"Don't worry Ells..." Audrey said with the new nickname she came up with for me. "You did nothing wrong we just want to show you something." She confirmed.
I relaxed. "Okay good, I thought I was going to have to explain myself."
"Wait...did you do something wrong?" Kyle inquired.
"Okay in my defense I told Josh the last doughnut was mine I warned him." I defended.
"So that's why he has a black eye. Nice one Ells." Kyle said.
"Okay, so we are all going to the chill house," Audrey said.
"The chill house?" I asked confusedly.
"Yes, the chill house. And that is exactly what we want to show you come on!" Audrey dragged me out and pulled me into her car. The rest of the guys used their cars.
"Here we are," Audrey said and parked the car outside a beautiful white mini-mansion.
It had a beautiful swimming pool.
Audrey squealed. "It's been a while since we came here."
She jumped out of the car and pulled me inside to tour the house. It had a bar, a tiny indoor swimming pool, a basketball court, a football court, a soccer field, a barbeque room, a library, a cheer/ dance stadium, a video game room, a kitchen, a living room, a bunch of bedrooms with TVs in them, and an outdoor swimming pool. To say I was beyond amazed would be a huge understatement.
"Kyle's parents gave it to him for his eighteenth birthday. He decided to share it with all of us and since we failed to come up with a name, we just called it the chill house, you know, for chilling if we don't want to be at home." Val explained.
"What makes it even more awesome is that there is a room or section for everyone to just do their thing. At home, when I try cheerleading practice in my room or anywhere else, they complain saying "You're spreading unnecessary cheer." Or "Bottle up your happiness and sit down." Audrey complained with an eye roll.
I chuckled and decided to move around the house while Audrey and Val went to spread their cheer in the cheer/dance stadium. Ava went to "swim in book wonderland." Her words, not mine. I sighed. If only I brought my camera. I have missed using it for the past couple of weeks.
I wandered and found myself on the basketball court. Yeah, I am good at many things. And basketball happens to be one of them. I grabbed a ball and dribbled it then shot a bunch of baskets missing none of them.
"And the crowd goes wild! Aaah! Ella! Ella! Ella!" I cheered myself.
I made a couple of more shots and was interrupted.
"You play basketball?" It was Tristan. He was standing next to me and I didn't even realize it.
I shrugged. "Just a little."
He scoffed. "Just a little? You are talented. Ever thought about joining the girls' basketball team?" He asked.
"No. No, I am not passionate about it. I just do it in my free time." I said.
"Well, what are you passionate about?"
"Umm .......... I don't know. My favorite thing is photography I just haven't gotten the chance to pull out my big old camera. Okay, I have gotten the chance, I just don't know what's stopping me." I sighed.
Tristan stared at me for some time and I stared back at him. Before I could get lost in his eyes, I cleared my throat.
"We should probably go look for the others."
He smirked. "Why? don't you want to stay here with me, beautiful?"
I snorted. "Are you trying to flirt with me?"
"Noo if I were trying to flirt with you, I'd probably say something like, are you a bank loan? Because you have my interest."
I laughed. "That is so cheesy."
"Okay um how about this...... you must be a broom because you just swept me off my feet."
"Did you just call me a broom?"
"Fine, how about do you have sunburn or are you always this hot?"
"Stop," I said amusement seeping through my veins.
"If you were a vegetable, you'd be a cutecumber."
I rolled my eyes. "Tristan_" He cut me off.
"Did you go to bed last night? Because from the looks of it, you got your beauty sleep."
"Tristan you have to stop."
"There must be a problem with my eyes because I can't take them off you."
"Tristan_"
"You must be a high test score because I want to take you home and show you to my mother."
"TRISTAN!!" I shouted.
"What?"
"All our friends are right behind you." He turned and there they were. Six grinning faces looking at him more like us.
Hey, hey, hey It's me again. Catchadonut with yet another chapter for you. Okay, this chapter was probably my favorite because of the cheesy pickup lines.
Don't tell anyone but I downloaded them from google ;) Anyway, get ready for the next chapter because it's gonna have some action in it.
