Recap:

As I lay in bed that night I think about the stupid ball. I wish I can skip, but unfortunately I can't. I really hate these kind of things. I'd much rather stay home, read and eat. Well I guess I have to look for a suit tomorrow, no way am I wearing a dress!

~~~~~~

"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"Just try it"
"No"

Oh my bad, sorry you must be confused. I'm in my safe haven (that's my library or room in case you didn't know. Right now it's my room) and my friends barged in on me watching The Originals and eating chocolate and decided that they want to go shopping. My response was "Uhm..... And? Go" and then they all looked at me like it was the most obvious thing ever. So here we are, arguing (as usual). They want me to go to the mall to buy a dress for that stupid upcoming ball thing and I don't want to.

"Guys I'm not going to the mall! I might not even go to that stupid ball thingie anyway." I say to them

They all look at me.

Wait for it...
1...
2...
3...
And....
Now!

"YOU MIGHT NOT WHAT?!" Liz and Lexi say in unison.

"I so saw this coming" Ricky says as he plops himself down next to me on the bed and starts eating my popcorn

"Yup. Me too. Rick and I called it. You owe us thirty bucks Liz" Syd says putting her hand out towards Liz as she mumbles about stuff being unfair

"You guys bet on me?" I say as they pass the money around

"Yup. We all knew you would pull something like this but Liz was optimistic and said that maybe this is your epiphany moment and you're finally gonna realize that you're a girl. So we made a bet. Coz we all know you" Syd replies shrugging

"Why am I not surprised?" I say

"You suck Maddi you made me lose sixty bucks! You owe me sixty packs of Skittles!" She complains

"Hey! I didn't say you should bet on me. Plus you've know me for 12 years you should know by now that I'm never gonna change!" I respond

"Whatever. You're going either way! Now get up let's go to the mall!" she says

"Liz, my dear child, let me explain something to you" I say slowly as if speaking to a toddler "If you want me to go to that thing, you're letting me choose my own outfit and I'm buying it online which does not require me leaving my bed or my husband Klaus, but if you drag me to the mall, I swear to pickles, monkeys and all sweetly things, I will go in there buy sneakers, hoodies, jeans, beanies, fluffy socks, baggy shirts and food and I will not go to the ball. It's your choice." I say smiling sweetly

"I hate you!" She says grumpily and stomps off... Probably to complain about me to Lexa

Five minutes of pointless conversation passes and Liz walks in with my older sister behind her.

"What's this hoe on about now again?" Lexa says exasperated

My friends all explain to her and she sits down next to me as we laugh at their bickering.

"How could you even make that bet? You were bound to lose that one. That's on you, stupid!" Lexa says laughing after the story has been told

"Yeah that's what we said but noooo Mrs. Fluff face doesn't like listening when older people speak." Ricky says

"You're an absolute idiot Liz and I agree 100% with Maddi, and I know my sister can out-stubborn all of your asses so I'm not even gonna try." Lexa says

"Ok!" Syd cuts in right as Liz wants to complain "How about we help her shop for her suit? Since she won't leave and we all know she's not wearing a dress. The second best thing is this" she suggests

"Nooooo.... But but but Klaus!!!!" I complain/whine.

"Shut up. We're not making you leave your bed so the least yo ass can do is to shop with us here." Lexi says.

"No screw you and your big toe! It's my house, I can do what I want. Get out." I retort

"Maddi" Ricky calls out to me "Mads listen... Just let them do this. I'll get the skittles and you and I can eat that and let the girls have their fun"

"Fine!" I say grumpily "I'm sorry Klaus. They're bribing me with Skittles, I still love you tho. Tonight we'll have our alone time I promise" I console my laptop screen

"Alone time? That sounds way wrong" Ricky says as he walks out the room to fetch my skittles

After an afternoon of bickering, frustrations, bribes and a whole lot of junk food I still don't have an outfit for the ball and it's tomorrow.

My friends have gone to their rooms to shower and bath and what-not

Yes, they have their own rooms in my house. It's really big so we figured, what the hell?

Anyway, it's night time and the girls are watching some cartoon downstairs as I scroll through some online shopping place.

Yeah, I'm looking for an outfit on my own, well Ricky is lying next to me but whatever

"He's like a fricken parasite I swear!" I say

"You know he's convinced you guys are mates right?" Rick says

"Yeah I know the idiot thinks so, stupid fat face. Why would I wanna be mates with him? I have standards" I say flipping my hair as we laugh

We're speaking about Jason Kingsley. A guy our age that is convinced I am his mate. I don't know how many times I've kneed him in the balls but he's just not getting the message

"How about that one?" He suggests

"Hmm.. Not bad, too revealing tho. Nah" I reply

"You're a pain to shop with, you know that right?" I says flopping himself down on my pillows

"Yup" I say

"Dude it's already three am, I'm sure Lexi is gonna walk in here at any moment now." I say

As if on cue Lexi walks in "Sup hoes" she says looking down at her phone

This is how it is. Lexi, Ricky and I are the night owls, the insomniacs. While Syd and Liz are the early birds.

Night owls: late to bed, late to rise
Early birds: Early to bed, early to rise

So the three of us normally chill when those two are off in lala land.

"Hey, Jake says that Alpha Valiante again refused to attend the ball. Saying that his pack refuses to take part in this stupid stuff, but as a consolation he's going to be at next months thingie" Lexi says outta nowhere

"Yeah well good. Who's wants his grumpy ass at a ball anyway." Ricky says

"Guys?" I say after a few moments of silence "Guess what?"

"You're hungry" they both say in unison not looking up from their phones

"I'm hungry" I confirm

"Pancakes?" Ricky suggests

"Pancakes!" Lexi and I confirm in unison

"Coffee?" I suggest

"Coffee!" They agree in unison

"Ice cream?" Lexi suggests

"Ice cream!" Ricky and I agree

And that's how we ended up making Coffee and pancakes with ice cream at half past three in the morning

Weirdness on point I tells ya!
