What am I going to do with those two?
I turn back toward the mirror and lean forward to examine myself.
Better yet. What are we going to do with you?
“Hey, Chloe.” Colton points in the girl’s direction. “I thought they said you were getting ready?”
“What?” Mia says turning around at the same time Kasey does. Both of their eyes go wide as I stand there with my hair pulled up, wearing sleep shorts, and my brother’s oversized high school sweatshirt.
“Guys, I don’t think I’m going to be able to go out.”
Mia narrows her eyes and throws her hands on her hips.
“Yeah, I don’t blame you.” Kasey sticks her phone in her clutch. “After the way that bathroom smelled…” She waves her bag in front of her nose. “Whew.”
Mia shakes her head.
Kasey didn’t smell a thing but, she has such FOMO, she refuses to believe there was something else going on in that bathroom.
“I’m not going to leave you here by yourself.” Colton comes over to feel my forehead. “You don’t feel warm.”
I take a step back. “I think it’s just my nerves.”
“About what?” Colton asks.
“I don’t know. School? Moving to New York?”
“Or maybe you’re coming down with something,” Colton replies.
“Oh great!” Kasey groans. “Does this mean we’re staying in?”
“Kasey!” Mia scolds.
“No.” I sit down on the loveseat. “You guys are in New York, Colton will show you around.”
“I don’t know.” Colton rubs his neck.
“Please, Colton?” Kasey sneaks up behind him and massages his shoulders. “Your sister is fine. I’m sure all she needs is rest.”
Colton tenses.
“Yes, rest would be good. Please,” I beg. “They didn’t fly all the way here to stay in.”
“She’s right,” Kasey agrees.
“I’m sure if I rest up tonight, I’ll be good tomorrow.” I fake a yawn.
Mia doesn’t say a word. She doesn’t have to. The look of disappointment on her face says it all.
“Okay let’s do it.” Colton stands.
“Awesome.” Kasey doesn’t waste any time making her way to the door.
“Chloe, do you want me to stay with you?” Mia smiles softly.
“Hell no! You look incredible in that dress.” I wave her off.
“Fine, but I refuse to have a good time without you.”
