Chapter 4

Becca

I don't know how I could agree on this. I want to smack myself so hard right now. But unfortunately, both of my hands are not available right now since I'm carrying two bags, one with clothes and stuff and one with all of my other stuff.

When I come up to the house I sigh.

I don't even have time to knock on the door before it's pulled open and a pair of two hands grab my top and pulls me inside the house. Rain and Marlow are smiling very big while looking at me.

"Beck!" Rain shouts and hugs me very tight.

"Rain ... Can't ... Breathe ..." I say choked, though I exaggerate a lot.

"Oh I'm sorry Beck, I'm just so happy right now", Rain says with a big grin.

"Yeah you should be, you nagged a hole in my head", I smile even though I feel irritated with her. I can't stay angry at her for too long though.

The girls help me with my stuff and I follow Rain inside the house.

"Yeah well, it was necessary", she says, trying to defend herself.

"It was not!" Vic says. "I really understand why Beck got angry, Rain you can be a lot to handle sometimes".

"Yeah well she didn't have to say no all the time", Rain says, opening a door and walks into it. Vic sighs and shakes his head and leaves us as he walks down the stairs. "Here you go Beck, this is your room now".

"It's beautiful thank you", I say, I don't know 

It's a big room with a balcony and a walk-in closet. And there is a queen-size bed.

The girls are living here by themselves. Marlow's father bought it for them. He's filthy rich.

The girls smile at me. They really do seem happy that I'm here finally after all of Rain's nagging. It's not that I didn't want to be a part earlier. I wanted to, I just can't stand Mellarks cold gaze when he looks at me, and his face twisted with disgust. Now I'm looking at him the same way, but it's his fault I do.

I feel the scent of food from downstairs. The scent is amazing and I bet it tastes even better.

"Yey the dinner is ready", Marlow shouts when she also feels the scent of food.

Clove grabs my hand and pulls me downstairs with the girls following us.

In the kitchen, there are four boys and I recognize them all, Vic, Calvin, Marcus, and Evans. Evans is the one standing by the stove. He can cook? I mean I know that his father can cook, but I didn't know that Evans can cook. Although there's been a while since we hung out. He puts food on seven plates.

I wonder if he's poisoned the food on my plate. That seems like something he could do, but would he?

Rain pushes down in a chair.

"Rain takes it easy, I don't want you to hurt my Beck", Vic laughs, though he looks serious.

Rain rolls her eyes and sits down beside me. Vic takes a seat on my other side and I feel grateful for him. At least I have Vic here with me. Everyone else sits down and starts eating. I'm a little more hesitant.

"Eat Beck", Rain says to me when she notices that I'm not eating yet.

"I don't know", I say. "He may have poisoned my plate".

"I don't play with food like that Sims", Evans snorts at me. "If I wanted to do that I would slip something into your glass instead".

I roll my eyes and take up the fork. I put some food in my mouth, and I feel everyone's eyes on me. Oh my god. This is food straight from heaven. But of course, I don't tell Evans that and holds back a low moan. This is one of the tastiest food I have ever had.

"It's fine", I say and Evans snort.

Oh god. How long will this go on? Evans and I hating each other? Forever? I don't think I can be a part of this group if that's the case because I can't go around and hate all the time. I don't want to hate Evans, but as long as he hates me I have to hate him back, or else I will only be sad and hurt, and I would rather be angry. But I still don't understand why Evans would start all of this up in the first place. I wonder if I will ever know the reasons.

As the days go by though, I am surprised that Evans and I haven't been fighting as much as I thought we would. Evans ignores me a lot, and I have to admit that it stings a bit to be ignored but rather that than fighting all of the time. I just don't have the energy to feel all the anger anymore. During these few days I've been here, Evans hasn't tried to poison me. I haven't tried to kill him and we can manage each other's presents. But I absolutely hate it. All these cold eyes. I swear his glances are just as cold as the color of his eyes. But I have to admit that his eyes are pretty beautiful. Apart from the glares of all these cold comments, or snores when I say something. And on purpose excluding me from a conversation.

Why did Rain and the others want me to come? It's so obvious that Evans and I aren't supposed to be friends. And trust me, no matter what, we won't be friends. That isn't gonna happen, Evan makes that very clear to me and everyone else, so I also make sure that everyone knows that I don't want anything to do with Evans.

My door flies open and Rain runs in. She jumps up onto my bed and jumps.

"Get up, get up, get up", she sings while jumping.

"Rain! God! It's like six in the morning! What is it?" I whine.

"I want you to get up, for two reasons, school starts in two hours and the guys are going to pick us up!"

"And I should be happy about that why?" I ask, rolling my eyes.

"Because they're guys", she says.

"Rain! Get off my bed", I say, sitting up.

"I know... You can go on a date with Nathan!" She says.

I start laughing. She must be joking right now. There is no other explanation for what she just said. Either she's joking or she's mental. I hate him. He hates me. She knows it. She's been right in the middle of it. She can't possibly be serious. But as I look at her face, my laugh slowly dies out and my mouth hangs wide open.

She's serious. She's actually serious.

Is she f*****g kidding me right now? What the hell?

"What the f**k Rain?!" I shout.

"What?" She says innocently.

"You know exactly what! How the f**k can you say that?!" I shout.

"Alright sorry but hey, a girl can dream", she laughs.

"Well dream about Marcus and not me and Evans because that is NEVER gonna happen", I hiss.

"Whatever, get dressed", Rain says disappointed and walks out of my room.

Maybe I was harsh. But it was needed right now, she has to understand that I don't like Evans. In fact, I hate him. And she needs to understand that. I dress in my clothes and pack my bag. I walk down to the other girls.

"Oh Becca you look so beautiful, like every day of the week", Marlow says.

Actually, I don't think so. But whenever I try to say against that, they get angry, so I'm not doing that anymore.

Someone rings the doorbell and I know that it's the guys. Oh well. I only hope that the car won't explode with both me and Evans in it.

Oh well, I gotta have to try. Not to be friendly, but to act normal.

"Hey girls!" All of the boys are standing outside. Evens, though he isn't smiling like the other boys.

Oh, Evans gets me so irritated, without even saying anything. How does that work? I just pray that this will work out, without me and Evans killing each other.

I will always wonder what happened between us. We were friends as children and one day it all just stopped without even a warning. At first, I was only confused, then I was hurt and then I was upset and angry. Until I found out why I will probably always be angry with Evans. I want to understand. But he will never tell me. Maybe I can find out some other way, but how? 

Sitting in the car, I look at Evans. His looks are so familiar. He is so familiar. I don't want to hate him, I want to understand him, understand what happened. I want to know.
