𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐓 [ᴄ.sᴛʀɴʟ] ON GOING

𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐍𝐄

The bell rings, our last period is done. I quickly pack up my stuff and leave the classroom. I've been avoiding Benjamin the whole day, i am pretty pissed at what he did yesterday. His little "omg i am the victim, you like the triplets more than me" scene...i roll my eyes just thinking about frustrating it was.

"Are you okay, Ivy ?" asks Bella, leaving the class too "You were so off today"

"I know it's just the Sunday sleepover effect..." i say while we start walking

"Did you guys fight again ?" she asks, genuinely concerned

"Oh my god, how do you know ?" i say sarcastically "Yeah, we did because Ms. Emma Paulson don't want me to invite the triplets at prom because she thinks they are cringe and also cause she thinks she is the one ruling the world and that we all have to obey her" i catch my breath "And the worst of all is that Benji thinks that she is right, he thinks that i am replacing him with the triplets though i am literally not. He is such a baby omg !"

"I am such a baby that i am coming to apologize to you" says Benji popping out of nowhere, arms open

"Good but can you not interrupt me when i am talking to Bella, or you think i'm gonna replace you by her too ?" i dodge his hug

"I am sorry" he continues

"So Bella, about the prom...Sam told us that he proposed you to go with him" i ignore Benji "And he also said that you haven't confirmed yet ! How dare you play with the man like that !!"

"I wasn't sure that it was good idea, we are supposed to be friend him and I and now it's romantic and i don't know..."

"You don't know what ? That you're totally crushing on him or that he is crazy in love with you ? Say yes !!!"

"But what if we end up not being able to be together as a couple ? How about our friendship ?" she demands, fidgeting her fingers

"Who cares ? Even if you guys break up, you are in the same group of friends, you guys will always be together and will have to start a new friendship !"

"For example like you and Cindy ?" she says, mocking me

"Okay, you got a point" i giggle "but says yes ! You guys like each other, stop being afraid"

I get out of the shower, wrap a towel around and walk to bedroom. My heart jumps to my brain when I see Benji sitting on my bed.

"What the fuck are you doing here ?" i yell "That's so intrusive and scary of you"

"You perfectly know that your house is my house and my house is yours" he says throwing me clothes "Here, i chose your pyjamas"

"So nice and creepy, thanks you best friend !" i go to the bathroom and change

"I said i was sorry and you ignored me !" he starts

"I know, it was like...about less than two hours ago, thanks for reminding me" i answer, getting out of the bathroom, fully dressed

"You're so mean" he lets his body drop on my bed

"Ooh poor baby ! I'm hurting your feelings... just like you hurt mines yesterday" i continue

"Please, Ivy ! Forgive me ! I'll do anything !" he joins his hands and begs for forgiveness

"Oh really, you'll do anything ? How about shutting the fuck up and leave" i say

"UGHHHH" he stands up and walks up to the door

I instantly regret what i just said. I know he will do it again that is why i am so mean with him...But he is my best friend and we've never been in fight for more than 24 hours. I grab his arm so he doesn't leave

"Just kidding, stay with me, idiot !" i smile

"I knew it ! You can't resist me !" he wraps his arm around my neck and chokes me

"Choke me again and i'll end your life" i threaten him, escaping from his chokehold

"Oh my god, i am so scared !" he falsely screams, going back in my bed "Can we watch TV now?" he asks as he slips under my covers

"My house is your house, BJ" i throw the remote on the bed

I jump under the covers with him as he turn on the TV. I lay my head on his chest and we both silently watch the television like two hypnotized children.

***

It's about 6pm and we are still in the same position. We watched 4 episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball and we are halfway through the fifth when the doorbell rings. Benji and I both exchange a look and i can tell by his eyes that he is too lazy to get up. I can't blame him cause i am too.

"MOM !" i yell

"I'm on the way" she yells back

"Are you excepting someone ?" asks Benji

"I don't think so" i answer, pulling the cover on my side

Silence then footsteps on the stairs. I can't tell if it's two persons with really synchronized steps or just one person. Suddenly, my bedroom's door opens and three familiar faces appear, the triplets. My jaw kinda drops, i wasn't excepting them.

"I thought we weren't excepting someone" whispers Benji, completely lost

"I thought that too" i whisper back "Hi, guys !" i say to the triplets, sitting up on my bed

"Oh, sorry to interrupt you...we didn't know you had someone over already" starts Nick totally embarrassed
