Uncomfortable

Chapter 15: Uncomfortable
Adeline

"Take it off."

"Take what off?" I gasp, looking down.

"The padding." Sasha points, making me purse my lips.

"Someone stole that. This is a pillow."

I squat, unclipping my onesie before pulling the pillow out.

"That looks uncomfortable." Sasha mutters, taking the pillow from me.

"It was." I giggle, sitting on the edge of my bed.

Sasha takes a seat on the beanbag chair, sighing deeply.

"Adeline, tell me this: who's bullying you?"

"Nobody." I reply quickly, biting my lip.

"I know that Brianna girl is. Who else?"

"No one?" I state, but it comes out more as a question.

"Easton? Why is your brother still friends with him?"

"Easton and Kaleb have been friends since we moved here. It's not easy to just drop people like that." I shrug, crossing my legs.

Sasha scoffs, fixing a strand of her hair. "I cut people off all the time, and I'm fine."

The two of us laugh in unison and I stand up, moving to sit at my window.

"Is that Easton?"

Sasha points out my window and I follow her hand, looking at him.

Easton was playing with something below him, shaking it vigorously and I blush, looking away.

"What?"

"Nothing!"

"Okay, we can work with this."

"I don't normally wear makeup."

"But you're already such a soft girl, this will enhance it!" Sasha begs, picking up my blush stick.

"Just today." I mumble, sitting down so that she could fix my face.

Sasha blends the blush into my skin before picking up my mascara.

"You're freckles are so cute."

"Oh thank you."

Sasha finishes soon after and looks around, probably searching for a mirror.

"You're so pretty." She cheers, showing me myself. I nod in agreement before standing up, adjusting my clothes.

"Adeline?" A voice from outside my window catches my attention and I lean back to see. "Is someone in the room with you?"

"Yes. Problem?" I scowl, trying to not seem intimidated.

"I'm going to leave you two to talk." Sasha backs out my room and I turn to look at her.

"Don't leave me."

"Just scream and I'll be here. Also, I need your number."

Sasha walks away, closing the door behind her and I turn back to Easton.

"Yes, Easton?"

"I just wanted to see your face. You look cute."

I roll my eyes before showing him the middle finger, watching his eyes widen. "Leave me alone."

"I was thinking."

"Yeah?"

"Maybe you and I could..."

"Yeah?" I giggle, leaning closer to my brother and James.

"Play animal crossing tonight?" Kaleb pours and I squeal at how weirdly cute he was being. "Sorry, I just feel bad for dragging you."

"Yes! Of course." I clap before sitting down at the island, placing my face in my hands.

"Great. So, 8 o'clock. It's a date?"

"Of course."

Kaleb cracks his knuckles before standing up, James following suit.

"We're going over to Easton's house. I'll be back later. Sasha, don't influence her."

"Why would I?" She rolls her eyes again, picking at the nail polish.

"I know you. Don't do it."

Sasha shifts to look at me, wiggling her eyebrows "Adeline do you want to-"

"Don't."

Author's Note:

Short chapter. It's mainly a filler for the next chapter.

Um, that's all.
